HW: There are numerous international pop superstars who are virtually unknown in the U.S.--for researching your character, did you draw upon any of those musicians?
HD: I had about a week to prepare for this [role], and I was concerned more about the accent. When I got there, we went out a couple times because John [Cusack] wanted me to see how the clubs are there--how the people dance, the music people listen to ... I forget what it’s [the music is] called?? But, it’s totally bizarre. There wasn’t a particular artist that I emulated, but seeing the fashions at the club [incredulous chuckle] … for some reason they’re all exotic looking and they can pull it off.
Hilary, still composed, leans forward as if to share a secret.
HD: They [the Bulgarians] did this really bizarre thing in the club: when a song came on that everybody loved--they would throw napkins up in the air!! [Miming gesture]. Like, people would come around with trays of napkins as if it was champagne! The whole place was filled with napkins--it was crazy!! [Wide-eyed and smiling] Everything that was bizarre in the movie really happens over there.
