Milla Jovovich interview for ELLE (Ukraine)

Milla Jovovich at the shooting for the July cover of #ELLE Ukranie

Elle: What is the basis of your summer wardrobe?
MJ: Honestly, from childhood most of the summer I spend working rhytm- for example, in the promo of the new film. So my wardrobe is made depending on the purpose.  But when i go back home to Los Angeles, I liketo fell relaxed, and then I prefer the T-shirts made of thin jersey, combined with a light cotton skirt or comfortable jeans shorts.  And the most important thing in the summer for me and my family- sunscreen.

Elle: Your daughter Ever speak Ukrainian or in Russian?
M.J: I was never taught Ukrainian kanguage, but at home, my mother often spoke in Russian.  Today, my daughter knows Russian – and yet she’s only five! I sent her to schook in a Russian Schook in Los Angeles, and now Ever corrects my speech errors!!

Elle: The best advice that your mother gave you?
M.J: Beauty may open the door in front of you, but what you say, when thou shalt come in? You have a lot to read and learn , because beauty is not eternal, and education will remain with you forever.

Elle: What do you mean beauty?
M.J: Beauty does not end at the outer level.  If a person is ugly inside, its physical beauty loses meaning for me.

Elle: What character traits describe you best?
M.J: An indulgence and responsability

Elle: What are the sings of attention from your fans you the most enjoyable?
M.J: Hearts in instagrame!! It’s easy and a lot of fun, I love instagramit and get out of my subscribers!

Milla Jovovich & Paul W.S. Anderson Interview For ‘Resident Evil: Retribution’

Written and directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, ‘Resident Evil: Retribution,’ the fifth installment in the game-to-film franchise stars Milla Jovovich, Michelle Rodriguez, Sienna Guillory, Kevin Durand, Shawn Roberts, Colin Salmon, Johann Urb, Boris Kodjoe and Li Bingbing. The Umbrella Corporation’s deadly T-virus continues to ravage the Earth, transforming the global population into legions of the flesh eating Undead. The human race’s last and only hope, Alice (Milla Jovovich), awakens in the heart of Umbrella’s most clandestine operations facility and unveils more of her mysterious past as she delves further into the complex. Without a safe haven, Alice continues to hunt those responsible for the outbreak; a chase that takes her from Tokyo to New York, Washington, D.C. and Moscow, culminating in a mind-blowing revelation that will force her to rethink everything that she once thought to be true. Aided by newfound allies and familiar friends, Alice must fight to survive long enough to escape a hostile world on the brink of oblivion. ‘Resident Evil: Retribution’ opens in 3D, 2D and IMAX 3D on September 14th in the US and September 28th in the UK. My previous interviews for the film can be read here: Milla Jovovich, Paul W.S. Anderson and Michelle Rodriguez.

Do you feel like this one is a lot more action-packed than the previous ‘Resident Evil’ films? The fights seemed more elaborate, and with the “suburban” Alice the stakes are heightened?

Milla Jovovich: Oh this is definitely the most action-packed so far. I mean, literally one of our smallest fights had over 100 choreographed moves (laughs). It was pretty intense! But you know, the one thing that I was really happy about when Paul wrote the script was….we watch a lot of action films together, and to see especially what not to do, and sometimes what we love and wanna exemplify. But, one thing we were on agreement on was that we watched quite a few movies where there was a lot of great action, but you didn’t really care because you had no empathy for the character who was in the midst of this danger. So I thought it was really great how Paul wrote the “suburban” Alice character with the child, because suddenly it really brings it home to people, it becomes much more relatable and the stakes have risen now. So you have a lot more empathy for Alice having to deal with protecting this child on top of everything else that is going on. So I thought that was great because suddenly the action sequences become that much more powerful because you care about the people in them.

You reconceive a number of things we saw in the first ‘Resident Evil’ film, so we hadn’t seen a lot of these characters in a while. What was it like fine-tuning them for ‘Resident Evil: Retribution’?

Paul W.S. Anderson: It was a fantastic challenge and also a lot of fun to kind of bring back characters, especially from the first movie. And I felt like the ‘Resident Evil’ franchise is kind of going full circle and back around to that very first film, so it was fun to feed in those characters. And also I think structurally, the structure of this movie is a lot more like the first ‘Resident Evil’ film. I think the first movie is a very interesting structure where you didn’t really know what was going on for the first 20/25 minutes of the film, and that was both a challenge for an audience, but also I think it intrigued people. Then the movies after that became more linear and straight ahead. With ‘Resident Evil: Retribution’ I wanted to return to that kind of challenging structure. So I think for the first 20/25 minutes of this movie, I think you can guess what’s going on, but it’s not laid out there for you.

Alice is a sort of a wounded Cowboy or wounded Samurai in some respects in ‘Resident Evil: Retribution,’ you have this wound that you keep checking throughout the movie….

Milla Jovovich: Yeah, in this movie Alice is almost at the end. She’s one step away from above and beyond (laughs). This one is the hardest one for her because in this one she is really willing to sacrifice everything to save this child and it could very well be the end of her – especially the last fight sequence. It was hard doing the fights like that.

I detected a lot more humour with Alice in ‘Resident Evil: Retribution’….

Milla Jovovich: Definitely. I think, when people live in traumatic situations for years and years, at some point it becomes normal and so you start laughing at things normal people would be horrified by. But it’s the only way to keep your sanity. So yeah, in some sense, now she is kind of used to this world. And also, the situations get kind of insane when she sees Michelle Rodriguez’s Rain in a pair of stiletto heels – what’s that (laughs)? It’s so wild the whole thing, you’re going, “Where is Umbrella going now?!” It’s confusing.

With the added humour, introduction sequence and action, was it more fun for you behind the camera working on this one compared to your previous ‘Resident Evil’ films?

Paul W.S. Anderson: I was working my ass off on this one (laughs). I enjoy making these movies and I had a great cast to work with. I loved people like Michelle Rodriguez coming back, it was really…Milla called it, “Camp Evil,” because it felt like everyone was going to camp every day. So there was a lot of fun involved in making the movie, but it’s an epic movie, it was a complicated film to make so it was a combination of having fun but also it was probably the hardest work of any of the ‘Resident Evil’ films.

+ Interview

Как проходит день Миллы Йовович?
Ну, если нет съемок… Я встаю в 7.00, наверное, как все мамы. Готовлю дочке завтрак, одеваю ее, причесываю и отвожу в школу. Возвращаюсь, прослушиваю записи на автоответчике, делаю важные звонки, читаю сценарии, потом могу отправиться за продуктами или заняться музыкой. Так или иначе, я должна закончить с делами до того момента, когда надо забрать дочку из школы. Потому что по­том я буду работать ее личным шофером: отвозить и забирать с занятий, а их у нее множество: от боевых искусств до танцев. Потом я готовлю ужин для всей семьи, мы довольно долго сидим за общим столом, пока дочке не приходит пора идти спать. Тогда у меня есть пара часов для себя и мужа. Наверное, мой день похож на день любой мамы, ничего особенного.

Случается ли вам чувствовать себя ужасно, впадать в уныние? Что помогает справиться с этим?
Конечно. Без спадов не бывает подъемов. Если мне плохо, если вдруг что-то пошло не так, я всегда говорю себе: «Встань, прими душ и иди». Я не по­зволяю себе погружаться в негатив, пережевывать свои обиды или страдания.

Как бы вы охарактеризовали свою коллекцию?
Изначально у меня зародилась идея сочетать черный цвет с животным принтом. Потом постепенно стали рождаться идеи сочетания фактур тканей, кроя, и в результате получилось то, о чем я мечтала: элегантные, стильные и вневременные вещи, которые подойдут и подростку, и женщине средних лет. Философия бренда Marella – «выглядеть великолепно несмотря ни на что». Думаю, это и моя философия. Всегда впереди, всегда вперед.

В чем особенность вашего видения моды?
Вся моя философия основывается на одном-един-ственном убеждении: тебе должно быть комфортно в той одежде, которую ты носишь. Можно потратить состояние на самые престижные и пафосные вещи, но если тебе во всем этом неудобно, ты не будешь выглядеть стильно и изыскан­но. Поэтому главным в капсульной коллекции стала простота. Я создала базовые вещи для любого гардероба: жакет, платье, брюки… У них идеальный крой, они идут абсолютно всем, они стильные, и в этом их секрет. Дух коллекции – элегантность, вневременность, актуальность для любого возраста и энергичность. «Мода приходит и уходит, а стиль вечен» -эти слова я в полной мере соотношу с философией бренда Marella и моей собственной.

Что для вас означает женствен­ность?
Сила и чувственность.

Какая вещь в коллекции вам нравится больше всего?
Блейзер. Я его обожаю! У него немного мужской крой, что делает его обладательницу еще более женствен­ной. Я очень много работала именно над этой моделью и очень довольна результатом. Только представьте себе этот блейзер в сочетании с брюками-скинни и ботинками… Когда я создавала этот образ, я думала: «Ты всегда должна быть готова сорваться и поехать в аэропорт и выглядеть стильно!»

Какой вы видите девушку в стиле Marella?
Она все решает сама и делает сама. Потому что она – шикарная женщина, и ею восхищаются.

Marella – истинно итальянский бренд. Что для вас Италия?
Энергия, страсть и элегантность. Я живу в Лос-Анджелесе. И в толпе я с первого взгляда узнаю итальянок. Как? У них великолепный макияж, который совершенно незаметен. В этом вся гениальность итальянского стиля: ты выглядишь так, словно родилась стильной, модной, сногсшибательной красоткой. И ни­кто не догадается, что ты приложила какие-то усилия к тому, чтобы так выглядеть.

Вы любите итальянскую кухню?
Я не люблю ее. Я ее обожаю! Простые ингредиенты, простые рецепты и фантастический вкус!

При такой любви к итальянской кухне как вы поддерживаете столь великолепную фигуру?
С моей работой не располнеешь! Я так часто играю суперженщин, которые должны спасти мир, что тренируюсь почти постоянно.

А как бы вы описали ваш собственный стиль?
Эклектика и комфорт. Но обычно меня можно встретить в легинсах или джинсах, футболке или кардигане. Но это не значит, что в угоду комфорту я жертвую стилем. Я все равно продумываю, как лучше сочетать вещи и как сделать повседневный образ стильным.

Milla Jovovich Talks Blood Stickers and Stunts in Resident Evil: Retribution and Never Listening to “Naysayers”

When Resident Evil: Retribution hits theaters this September, it will be franchise star Milla Jovovich’s fifth movie as amnesic zombie killer Alice, propelling her past Sigourney Weaver’s four-movie run as Ripley in the Alien franchise to become the new queen of sci-fi/action movies. While Jovovich is aware that “it’s a big deal” for Resident Evil to be a successful “female driven” franchise, she doesn’t rest on her laurels, continually striving to satisfy the fans by doing as many of the stunts required of her butt-kicking character as possible. But, even when the car she is in is set on fire or she’s hung from the ceiling by cables to give her an extra boost during fight scenes, Jovovich finds that it’s hard to think of portraying Alice as “work” because she’s “hanging out with people that are really wonderful” and she’s “having so much fun.”

During a recent roundtable interview session to promote Resident Evil: Retribution, Jovovich helped to pull back the curtain on the “corridor of light” sequence (pictured), revealing that stickers were used for some of the blood spatter on the walls and how the set was rigged to allow her to do her stunts. Jovovich also explained why she and her husband, writer-director Paul W.S. Anderson, don’t take message boards very seriously and advised young actresses who are told that they can’t be action heroes to not “listen to naysayers.”

Here are some highlights from the interview:

0:00 — We had some really cool stuff where they actually set the car on fire while we were in it so Boris [Kodjoe] was filming it and, you know, it got really big and we said, “But, you said a little bit of fire, like, in the front of the car and you were gonna kind of shoot through there.” But then they ended up setting the whole car on fire and I felt like I was back in the L.A. riots again — which I was. I mean, I didn’t steal anything. I was just a sightseer, just driving by.

4:57 — For the “corridor of light,” the art department ended up realizing the that amount of time it would take to not only spray blood and then wipe it off and then to match it would be a nightmare. So they made these amazing stickers. … They’re kind of like see-through sheets of red stuff and they come on a piece of see-through paper.

6:14 — Stunts are always tough. I mean, like, I think I was even tweeting right before one of them and I remember feeling this nervous … because I know there was this big flip I that had to do and knock the guys while I’m in the air. And the set — because the way we shot, I think we could only afford to have, like, 15 feet max for the “corridor of light” and one side was open so we could shoot in profile, but then it was designed in a way so you could pretty much shoot from any angle and it would look the same. So, for that particular stunt … we’re going up and down and now we had to turn so that the cameras going up-and-down and we’re turned vertically, so the stunt guy is at the very edge of the corridor and the other guy is behind me and I was so nervous … I got really scared that he was going to go over the edge of the set, you know. And, you know, when you finally get to the set and do it, it’s so different from rehearsal because in rehearsal you’re in a room and you’ve got your sweats on, but now with the costume … suddenly, like, all of these things come into play that you don’t expect, especially when it comes to costumes, and our costumes are always crazy, so, you pay the price.

9:00 — Listen, when you start listening to people on message boards, you gotta be super careful because, I mean, they could act like they’re a 100,000, but if there’s, like, eleven of them, you’re gonna be lucky. And these eleven people spend days and give huge essays on why you suck, pretty much, and why you’re the worst thing to ever happen to mankind. I’ve read it before, Paul’s read it. I mean, it’s hilarious. And, I would get really upset because I would read these things. And then Paul’s like, “But, did you look at the names? Because you’ll see them repeating themselves.” And it usually is. There could be a group of them, but it’s usually the same people pretty much regurgitating the same stuff over and over. And when you go, like, a franchise that’s done this well, female driven, you know, it’s a big deal. It’s amazing. So, it’s really hard for me to listen to, like, the few guys who don’t agree.

10:14 — There’s never been a better time for women to be in action films, I feel, you know. You can’t listen to naysayers. I mean, if I listened to naysayers, I wouldn’t have done anything except be a model because that’s what they told me when I was a kid, “You’re a model. Why are you acting? Why are you trying to cross over? Why are you trying to do anything?”

Spanish interview: Milla Jovovich: “Siempre hay que confiar en el instinto”

¿Cuál es la diferencia para vos entre una mujer que usa perfume y una que no lo usa?
Una huele mejor que la otra (dice y ríe a carcajadas). Yo siempre pensé que lo que uno invierte en uno, es también lo que obtendrá. Una persona que se cuida, es alguien interesado en su apariencia.

¿Cómo te sentís más cómoda: como modelo, actriz, diseñadora o cantante?
Yo tuve mucha suerte porque mi madre me formó para ser una artista, con una educación europea. No teníamos dinero, pero lo que teníamos lo puso en mi educación. Iba a la escuela y tomaba clases de arte, de teatro, había libros de fotografía en casa. Lo veo como si fueran las ramas de un mismo árbol. Me gusta diseñar, la música también porque es muy emocional. Pero cuando paso por los controles de aduana y me preguntan la profesión, pongo actriz.

¿Cuáles son tus tips para ser elegante?
La simplicidad es la mejor respuesta para todo. Una de las claves para tener un gran estilo es sentirse cómodo. No importa que la gente diga que te ves increíble en ese vestido. Si te sentís extraño, te verás extraño. Siempre hay que confiar en el instinto. Y si no confiás en tu instinto, que no se note (ríe). Siempre hay que elegir algo que atraiga, puede ser un sombrero, unos zapatos… Pero si vas a usar un pañuelo, una chaqueta de cuero y unos zapatos, ¿qué miramos? Es mejor ser simple y elegir un elemento para atraer la atención. Si usás un vestido negro, podés ponerte un cinturón fino rosa. Hay que elegir una sola cosa.

¿Seguís las tendencias de moda?
No. Pienso que cuando una persona sigue las tendencias no piensa en su comodidad, simplemente quiere ser una persona diferente. Y, volviendo a la simplicidad, creo que tenés que ser honesto contigo mismo. Por ejemplo, hace unos años se usaban las hombreras grandes. Se veían “cool”, entonces me probé una chaqueta, pero yo tengo hombros grandes y… no pasaba por la puerta (suelta una carcajada).

¿Algunas claves de belleza?
Si comés sano, tomás mucha agua, no bebes alcohol todo el tiempo ni fumás, obviamente te vas a ver mejor que una persona que fuma y bebe. Veo a muchos amigos que se ven mayores de lo que deberían. Probablemente se divierten más, no sé, pero me veo mejor. La gente siempre espera el milagro en una crema, en una cirugía plástica, y si observan a muchas mujeres europeas, no se someten a cirugías y se ven increíbles así tengan 20 o 60 años. La gente come mejor, más natural. Es un estilo de vida. En América están tan obsesionados con la gordura, las dietas y al final, no funciona. Si ponés energía en vos misma, te vas a ver increíble.

IDA & VUELTA

¿Diseñadores favoritos?
¿Americanos? Donna Karan. ¿Italianos? Miuccia Prada. Y franceses… Isabel Marant.

¿Seguís la moda?
No. Creo que hay que ser muy joven para poder seguirla.

¿Una clave para verte bien?
Es simple: sos lo que comés, y esa es la verdad.

¿Algo pendiente?
Quisiera ser capaz de hornear un pan increíble para que mi hija lo recuerde.

Miss Jovovich’s interview for Madame Figaro

On how the photo shoot with Ellen von Unwerth went:
“It was fabulous. The house where we shot at Mount Olympus, a district of Hollywood, was built in 1958 and has clearly not moved since. Thanks to the gentleman of 96 years who lives there, the house retains its character: threadbare carpet and threadbare and tattered curtains! My daughter (Ever Gabo, 4 years) had joined us, I had to send it to my mother, who lives two blocks away. She kept sneezing, as her nose was covered with dust! I am not a neat freak, but I preferred to avoid a health crisis.”

On how she went about channeling the character of Marilyn:

“Ellen has a pretty crazy sense of humor. We are part of Marilyn, with the stylist, then we forced the line: a stronger makeup, a hair less wise, cleavage more challenging, to Jayne Mansfield. Distance between fun and great affection for the character.

On how her daughter is different from her:
“She’s a year younger than me when I arrived in the United States from the former USSR. At school, it made me feel like I came from another planet. Ever has a Russian mother, an English father and she joined the French School in Los Angeles…. Russian Traditional education does not leave much room for the child, or their opinion. We had to fight to make our voices heard. For now, Ever fights only on the mat in Taekwondo! ”

On what she’d like to be:

“Stay at home mom! Take more time for my personal life and my family is … an interesting concept for a workaholic like me! I want my daughter to have fixed hours for his return. So, I take a break: more shooting at the other end of the world for now. But I prepare four pieces with musician friends, and a video directed by Simon Cahn, a young French director. Ever calls me a little sister. My husband and I do not do anything to get one, but nothing to prevent it either…”

Milla Jovovich: With 15 her daughter won’t be an actress

Today, she jokes about her action hero status, being a mum, cringing over her old television interviews she did at age14 year while promoting Blue Lagoon, and why she’ll never let her daughter act while she’s a child.

Q: So what was it like getting back together with Michelle (Rodgriguez) and how has she changed from when you last worked with her? Is she kicking your ass more than she did before?

What are you trying to say? That she ever kicked my ass? (laughs) She’s just as fun as ever. I think the thing I love about Michelle now is that she’s much more relaxed, much more confident and comfortable with who she is. When I first met her, she was wild and crazy and trying to be like the old way we were in our 20s, and I can see she’s chilled out now. We talk about books together. When we first met, we were just clubbing all the time, our relationship was pretty much working and going to clubs. And now it’s like, after work, she’ll go home and read a book and I’ll go home and play with my daughter and go to sleep. So, clubs have been replaced with books and children.

Interview:Milla Jovovich Opens Up

Now, the fifth film in the series, Resident Evil: Retribution, has been shot and is in post-production being prepped for its September release. Jovovich takes some time out of her busy schedule to sit down with Campus Circle.

Campus Circle: What’s different about Resident Evil: Retribution? What does it offer that the other films haven’t?
Milla Jovovich: I think it’s just this epic movie. We’ve gone through so many different locations, and we’ve brought in so many different cultures and so many different continents. Just aesthetically speaking, we’ve got so many different set pieces and stunts, and the stunt sequences are so much bigger. And of course, for me, now, to do stunts, I have to up the ante every time because, you know, been there, done that. I have to do something I’ve never done before! But I think also, the script is really different from the other ones.

CC: You can see in the teaser trailer that it looks very different.
MJ: It takes you on this journey where you never really know what’s real, what isn’t real, what’s going to happen next, who’s a friend, who’s an enemy. So you really have that tension in the movie where it really takes you by surprise. It’s almost like a page-turner! You don’t really know what’s going to happen next!

CC: The movie’s tagline is “Evil Goes Global.” Can you tell me what that means?
MJ: Well, this time around, we really attack some major cities and destroy them.

CC: In true Resident Evil fashion!
MJ: It’s cool, because in the last movie we nuked Japan. That was awesome, so we decided in this one, it would be great to just bring in different cultures and take their most wonderful monuments and destroy them. (Laughs) It’s funny because there’s a twist to it. It’s definitely global, but the way we go global is very interesting. You’d have to see the movie to understand exactly what’s going on because it’s a very cool concept.

The Milla Jovovich Interview With The Blonde & The Brunette – Part I

Milla Jovovich, the multi-talented super model, cover girl extraordinaire, L’Oreal spokesmodel and star of the Resident Evil franchise spoke with The Blonde & The Brunette recently about some of the exciting moments that are happening in her professional life right now. It’s always fun for us to get a glimpse into what happens behind the scenes and we love sharing it with our readers.

B&B: Milla, first, thank you for your time. The Blonde & The Brunette, as well as our readers, appreciate you giving us insights into your work, style and beauty secrets. How would you describe your personal style?

Milla Jovovich: Eclectic, I suppose, and comfort-driven. With the exception of heels, which I love, but sometimes comfort is thrown out the window for the right pair of heels.

B&B: What are the one or two things in your wardrobe that are your “go-to” pieces that always make you feel great?

Milla Jovovich: For the moment, a great pair of denims and jersey tees with a feminine cut.

B&B: Do you have a favorite fashion trend for Spring?

Milla Jovovich: I never really pay attention to trends.

B&B: Let’s switch gears and talk about your special fashion moment on the Academy Awards Red Carpet. Congratulations on making everyone’s Best Dressed list. It’s quite an achievement. You epitomized Hollywood glamour in your magnificent, one-shoulder, vintage white Elie Saab gown. The hand-embroidered embellishment was superb and worked perfectly with your great make-up. Take us behind the scenes and explain the process of how your Oscar look came together. Why this gown? We know you probably saw lots of dresses but how did end up with this choice?

Milla Jovovich: I was looking for something that shimmered. I really wanted to glow and was looking for a gown that was classic with a twist which I believe Elie Saab’s gown captured perfectly.

B&B: Tell us about your hair and make-up decisions?

Milla Jovovich: Again, I wanted to evoke a modern twist on old Hollywood Glamour and I used L’Oreal makeup and we collaborated closely on how to achieve the perfect look for the evening. That’s why we chose to go with a defined lip and a retro, yet modern take, with the hair.

B&B: Let’s talk jewelry. Our readers LOVE jewelry! It was important to balance the gown with the jewelry. What did you love about the choice of Jacob & Co?

Milla Jovovich: That the stones were incredible and that the jewels complimented the gown. The ring I chose was spectacular and the ear rings were simple yet stunning. The diamond cuff was detailed but, again, classic.
