JANE KEELER INTERVIEW
1.How did you become involved with Visual Purple?
JK-I was friends with da kru, which, for a time,
seemed basically synonimous with VP. For some reason I was mentioned in
Manhunt 2 and dubbed SAK (where the hell do you people get these notions??)
so then I got the amusing job of participating in Manhunt 3. I think that
was how it all began....
2.Out of all of the projects you worked on with
Visual Purple, which do you think turned out the best?
JK-definitely The Dark (or "prelude to" if that's
what it is officially called...). It was the only one that ever really
seemed to end up in a finished form.
3.The worst?
JK-that damn pimp movie. i am not a cokney whore.
sorry.
4.Of all of the characters you've played, which
did you most enjoy playing?
JK-the chic in "the dark"
5.Least enjoy?
JK-the cockney whore.
6.Which character that you've played makes the
boldest political statement?
JK-yeah well that one is probably the cockney
whore.....
7.Do you plan to ever persue a career in film?
JK-Well, when you guys hire me, definitely.
8.What is the most humorous moment offscreen
in VP history to you?
JK-whenever you were filming the scenes for The
Purchase with Matt and Preston out front, Jeremy and Mike and I were in
the back playing with a stereo. (we were bored, and you guys had asked
that we stay out of the way) Jeremy had some fireworks, which he proceded
to empty out into the stereo, and then light on fire. The fire got going
rather well. This wouldn't have been a problem, except that we were inside.
So with lots of profanity jeremy manages to pick up the thing and throw
it out the door. (and did i mention that he was trying to fix the thing
for ME?) Whichever scene was being filmed at the time had something along
the line of "oh shit" and then a loud crash in the background.
9.What is the most humorous onscreen moment?
JK-well there are two. whenever we were filming
The Purchase and I was supposed to be sitting on the couch drinking beer,
but really I had a wine glass full of lysol. I was supposed to be sitting
with glenn and looking cute, but he kept making
these damn comments about lysol......the other
was in The Dark when there was that damn scene where St John was supposed
to grab me as I was running up the stairs and throw me onto the floor.
We practiced that bunches and took several takes, which were all quite
insane from my perspective, as I kept being thrown backwards full force
onto this pile of pillows, that I
never quite landed on the way I wanted to...
10.Which scene or movie that was never shot but
written would you most like to have seen done?
JK-GANGSTA' CHIC FLICK!!!!!!!! If anyone EVER
decides to film this, they'd better give me a call. I will fly in from
TN.....
11.Did you ever suffer any injuries on the set
of a VP movie? If so, what?
JK-not unless you count my heart.
12.What was the most extensive effect or make-up
that you personally went through?
JK-for both SAK and the cockney whore i got this
insane level of eyeliner and lipstick. we all know how much makeup i generally
wear. but that is nothing spectacular.
13.What is the most memorable VP quote to you?
JK-"Git the fuck off my prop-er-dee" by Preston
in The Purchase.
