Deja Vu

0 Comments

We had talked about it. My idea of nudity, as of now, so don’t hold me to this, this is how I feel at this moment, is that if it makes sense for the film and it’s not in a sexual way… I feel like you can do sex scenes that are really sexy, without having to see nudity. But you’re doing surveillance on a woman in the shower, and we’re all going to know, if we just do it from the top up, that we’re [staged]. Then it takes away from the reality of it. I think he did it really tastefully, and for a very short period of time. Short enough that my parents won’t want to kill themselves I think that it works for the movie because you are being a voyeur in her world, and so it sort of happens that you see her like that. So I said, ‘Okay, Tony, I trust you!’”

Disconnect

0 Comments

Patton plays Cindy in this drama, directed by Henry Alex Rubin, that follows three stories of different people navigating human relationships in a world where technology can be an endless distraction. Two families deal with cyber bullying, a couple whose marriage is growing distant, and a journalist investigating the secret world of a webcam performer. Co-starring Jason Bateman, Alexander Skarsgård, and Max Thieriot.

We weren’t having fun but it was a very enjoyable experience. It’s nice when you don’t know someone and you’re just suddenly thrust together. It’s exciting and scary. You don’t know if it’s going to work and they’re already going through turmoil with one another.

Baggage Claim

Patton plays Montana Moore, a successful flight attendant and a loving daughter, sister and friend, who can’t manage to keep a relationship alive. Her two best friends, Gail and Sam devise a plan to have Montana conveniently meet up with eligible ex-boyfriends to see if any of them have since become the perfect guy. Co-stars include Derek Luke, Djimon Hounsou, Taye Diggs, Boris Kodjoe, Terrence J, Jenifer Lewis, Christina Milian, La La Anthony and Affion Crockett.

I’ve always wanted to do a romantic comedy.  It was a long time ago that I read this script.  I was making a movie called Just Wright, with Queen Latifah, at the time.  I was sent the script and I read it, and I laughed out loud.  Then, I brought my husband and my best friend over and said, “We’re gonna do our own table read.”  Everybody was like, “It’s great!  It’s funny!”  So, when I got back to L.A., I met with David Talbert.  We had a great meeting.  But as things go in Hollywood, the movie just didn’t happen.  It fell apart, a little bit.
