Exclusive: Joanne Kelly Talks 'Last Stop'
Joanne Kelly is gearing up for the second season of Warehouse 13, the hit SyFy show in which she stars as Myka Bering, an FBI agent responsible for finding and safeguarding supernatural, sometimes legendary, artifacts. I caught up with Kelly this week, during a break from shooting her show in Toronto, and she told me a little bit about another project she has in the works, an indie thriller called Last Stop, due out in November and co-starring genre vets Mena Suvari (Day of the Dead) and Robert Picardo (pretty much every Joe Dante film ever made). Read what Kelly had to say about the film after the jump.
"It was such an amazing experience," says Kelly of Last Stop. "It was with Mena Suvari, Brian Austin Green, and a wonderful director named Travis Oates. We shot it in New Mexico. It was really, really interesting. And really freaky and really spooky and really cool. I had a great time doing it. It was a small little movie, but all the actors were really committed and it was a really interesting film. I'm so excited to see it cut together. It was a really interesting take on the horror genre. I don't think I would even call it a horror film, I would call it more of a thriller. I don't know what's out there about it, but I for one cannot wait to see it."
Kelly compares her Last Stop character to her role on Warehouse 13: "It's a very different character from Myka, Claire. Claire was still uptight in her way I guess, but just a completely different animal. It was kind of refreshing to step away from Myka for a little while."
Kelly says Last Stop "starts out like so many horror films do."
"It's a group of people going camping in the woods, and one by one they start to disappear. People start to disappear. There's no rhyme or reason. It just starts to happen and becomes a downward spiral of crazy. I don't really know what they're doing media-wise; I don't know how much I'm supposed to say. But I think it's going to be really cool, and it was shot in kind of a Hitchcockian way."
Kelly adds that her greatest fear in real life "is probably failure."
