Rachael Taylor (Shutter) Interview

Macy — Mon, 12 May 2008 10:17:06 +0000

How well do we really know do the person closest to us? That’s the question facing Jane, played by the talented Rachael Taylor in the psychological thriller SHUTTER. On the face of it, Jane and Ben, (played by Joshua Jackson), are young, attractive and intelligent newly-weds, embarking on married life. They are traveling to Tokyo where Ben, a photographer, has a glamorous fashion assignment. The couple are supposed to be enjoying a working honeymoon but the atmosphere is unsettling right from the start; a feeling that things are not right.

The trip starts out with a horrific car accident in which Jane is convinced she has hit a young Japanese woman. However there is no trace of the woman who seems to vanish mysteriously. From that moment onwards, tension builds dramatically and events unravel in a terrifying way, as Jane and Ben discover strange ghostly shapes on all their photos. At the same time, their lives are affected by highly disturbing incidents, which become more and more frightening.

Rachael Taylor: Fright Club

NICOLE KIDMAN did it in The Others; Naomi Watts in The Ring. With Shutter, it’s Rachael Taylor’s turn to be the Australian starlet carrying a sizeable Hollywood horror-thriller. Like her compatriots, Taylor also gets the chance to act in her scary movie.

“I’m not really interested in being exposed just as, y’know, ‘le hot chick’,” the 23-year-old says matter-of-factly, her Tassie twang intact even though she has spent the past few years in Los Angeles. “I was kind of hesitant approaching it because I think sometimes you run the risk of being in pretty-blonde-female-in-haunted-house-running-away-from-ghosts kind of territory. I really felt Shutter has more to offer than that.”

Rachael Taylor made to wow Hollywood

Macy — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 08:25:35 +0000

AS career moves go, it’s rare that a cancelled soap opera screened over summer provides a lucrative leg-up. But for local blonde bombshell Rachael Taylor, her current rise through the US film industry is built on Seven’s failed Home and Away spin-off, Headland.

While most of her soapie colleagues retreated behind coffee machines awaiting their next acting adventure, Taylor was snapped up by Hollywood’s insatiable appetite for talented, fresh faces - especially those who could double as a model.

Shutter, Remaking a Classic

Macy — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 02:36:50 +0000

SHUTTER is based on the 2004 film of the same name, which became the highest grossing film in Thailand. The horror-thriller was directed by Banjong Pisanthanakun and Parkpoom Wongpoom. Its story is simplicity itself: a girl suddenly appears, gets hit by a car and disappears, only to return to haunt the perpetrators. But with its many twists and shocks, the film subverted audience expectations, revealing itself to be much more than a simple ghost story.

No Rachel Taylor for Transformers 2?

Macy — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 07:33:12 +0000

Rachel Taylor was present last week at WonderCon 2008 in San Francisco. The Movie Reporter was also there and had a short video interview with Rachael. When asked if you would return for the second movie, her response was an unsure “I doubt it”. I think they should give more roles for Rachael or more scenes in the movie. What do you think?

Shutter, slated for release March 21, is a remake of the 2004 Thai film of the same name. Newlyweds Ben (Joshua Jackson) and Jane (Rachael Taylor) move to Japan and run over some poor girl. “Eerie” phenomena start happening; is that a ghost in that photograph, or a thumbprint? As Jane struggles to find the origin of these thumbprints, she discovers a horrible secret about Ben’s past.*

There, I said it. You don’t need to watch the movie now. Thanks to WonderCon, I have saved Underwire readers 10 bucks and a little time.
