Question: What appealed to bạn about the character of Carly?

Elisha Cuthbert: The character was most appealing at first because I was coming off of “The Girl tiếp theo Door,” which sort of was a great first film for me, but I wanted to do something extremely different.

And when Joel brought me “House of Wax,” I thought this is perfect because the genre is different, the idea is different, and the character is nothing like Danielle in “The Girl tiếp theo Door.” We kind of created Carly in the sense that she was a lot thêm tomboyish, not so particularly pretty – but pretty in her own way -...
