![]() She has proven to be not only a versatile actress, but also someone who can connect on a deeper level, both with the characters she is playing, as well as with the audience.ĭuring my interview with Marta, I learned a lot about the people who have inspired her, as well as how she is an inspiration in her own right. If you are familiar with Milans work, then you know exactly how exciting it was to learn of this casting news. In the movie, the actress takes on the role of Rosa Vasquez, foster mom to a group of children including, Billy Batson, the boy who would be Shazam. In January 2018, news broke that Marta Milans of Killer Women and Devoured had joined the cast of the DCEU’s Shazam!, alongside Zachary Levi. We chat with Marta Milans about her inspiration for Rosa Vasquez, and how this movie differs from other DCEU stories. ![]() release sometime, because it’s really good.Heading into 2019, fans of the DCEU have a major movie to look forward to thanks to Shazam. It was an amazing team effort, and you can see the result of that in the quality of the movie. So it was a rollercoaster, but he’s such a perfectionist in that way, and so am I, that I was so glad to have someone who would push me, like, “Let’s do one more take, one more take.” And then the wind would blow, the light would change because of a cloud, they’d have to change the position of the camera while we were in the water and he would be like, “Come on, let’s do it, let’s keep rolling.” Having somebody so dedicated to the craft, willing to get cold, get stung by a jellyfish, all those things, was so great. Instead of staying on the boat, he wanted to feel it with us, feel the cold water, feel the beginning of our hypothermia. Gonzalo was such a trouper he would get in the water with us, in a wetsuit, just to keep us company. All kinds of hell breaks loose, and it’s pretty tragic-and the conditions in which we shot it were also very trying, because we had to film all those days in the ocean, and we had to deal with storms, a jellyfish plague they had to hire scuba divers to chase the jellyfish away while we were in the water. La Piel Azul is about a group of friends who go sailing, and they all jump into the water but forget to put the ladder down-and it’s a big enough sailboat that they can’t get back on board. So, one for Spain-I’m so proud of my peeps! I’m proud to say I worked with him and I hope to do so again, and he’s definitely going in the right direction. He is going to become, mark my words, a staple in Hollywood, and I am so happy to see him rise to the center stage, because he is brutally talented. Yes! Gonzalo is an amazing artist, who I was so blessed to work with and whom I adore as a director and a friend. It was very tricky to do that, and took a lot of prep work on my side, but I think it really served the movie to make her a compelling, rounded character, and believable in her struggle.Ĭan you talk a bit about working with Gonzalo López-Gallego on La Piel Azul ? ![]() That’s how I marked up my script, to make sure that, OK, in this moment she has become this other person, in that moment she is still Lourdes. I had to do that because, as you know, you never shoot a movie chronologically, so I had to know exactly when all her changes were taking place while we were shooting completely out of order. So that’s how I approached Lourdes I created this alternate personality that I had a name for and a set of characteristics that were very different from Lourdes, body language-wise, even voice- and gesture-wise, and I was very clear as to when Lourdes was being Lourdes and when she was this other person. One thing led to another, I got a callback and then I got the part. I really liked the approach they were taking and the way they wanted the story to go, so I had a very good feeling with them in the room. I was very attracted to that, and when I auditioned for them, they had me do some improv in the room. ![]() I first auditioned for the director and writer, and the way the story was presented was interesting to me, because it wasn’t like a typical horror movie at all it had a lot of layers and a lot of depth. Her work in Spain includes 2010’S La Piel Azul ( Blue Skin), a seabound two-part TV movie for director Gonzalo López-Gallego, who went on to helm Apollo 18 and Open Grave.
