Prom Night's Brittany Snow

The Los Angeles Times interviews Brittany Snow (Prom Night):

With saucer-size blue eyes and cheerleader good looks, the Tampa, Fla., native certainly doesn't bring to mind broody slasher queen Jamie Lee Curtis, who starred in the 1980 original. Snow points out that comparisons aren't necessary. "It's not a remake," she says. "It actually just has the same title. But it's a completely different story."

This "Prom Night" sets its cat-and-mouse game in the context of today's super-proms, with the action taking place in a swanky hotel (the Park Plaza Hotel stands in for the film's fictional Pacific Grand Hotel), where couples walk the red carpet for adoring townsfolk and floor-to-ceiling flat screens capture the dance-floor drama.

The role was more than just a sartorial challenge for Snow. "It's hard to make [the terror] real," she says. "That you're being chased by somebody when the person isn't even there -- and there's like 20 crew members staring back at you. There are no footsteps in the distance. And craft services is right around the corner."
