Eva Green on ‘Cracks,’ hot, & the New Tim Burton Film ‘Dark Shadows’

If you think Cameron Diaz is the only actress playing a bad teacher these days, go check out new release Cracks . In it, you'll find French actress Eva Green as Miss G, a glamorous swimming instructor at an elite 1930s all-girls boarding school who hypnotizes her students with exotic tales of far-off places. The thing is, Miss G has spent her entire life on campus, her stories merely semi-delusional constructions that win over her students' devotion. But when a beautiful new student arrives, a girl who possesses the very qualities MissG mimics, teacher becomes obsessed with student, and everything spirals rapidly towards a tragic finale.

Eva Green is no stranger to dark, ambiguous roles. In Casino Royale , she played a Bond girl with a secret, who left Daniel Craig weeping in the shower like a lost boy. And in her first role, in Bernardo Bertolucci The Dreamers , Green played a young Parisian who may or may not be sleeping with her formerly conjoined twin brother. The 30-year-old actress is drawn to these complex roles, and it was the chance to explore such a character in even greater depththat led her to a lead role in theStarz network’s upcoming King Arthur retelling, Camelot . Up next, she’ll star as a witch opposite Johnny Depp in Tim Burton’s horror comedy, Dark Shadows . Here she is on her twisted new character, the disturbing reaction to her onscreen nudity, and why she had to back out of Lars von Trier’s Antichrist .
