Interview: Milla Jovovich and Isabel Myers Talk Protector

Milla Jovovich is a powerhouse. The actress has consistently proven herself resilient throughout her decades-long career. And then there was Resident Evil. She proved to be a worthy Alice in the moneymaking franchise, as her husband, Paul W.S. Anderson, brought to audiences. Certainly, the series did not earn much critical praise, but nobody could dismiss the impressive work that Ms. Jovovich put into the role. And yes, I saw every one of those flicks in theatres.

In Milla’s latest, Protector, she tackles another terrifying subject matter. However, this time the stakes are horribly real for many victims. Directed by Adrian Grunberg, the new thriller tells the story of a mother – and former war hero – who takes on a bunch of baddies after her daughter is kidnapped. It’s a solid thriller with a terrific cast that includes Jovovich, D.B. Sweeney, Matthew Modine, and Isabel Myers, who portrays the daughter in question.

Recently, I sat down with both Ms. Jovovich and her co-star, Isabel Myers. I’ve had the joy of speaking to Milla many times, and she is just as kind and lovely as you might expect. During the interview, both she and Myers clearly had a wonderful time working on this project together. In fact, you hardly needed to speak as they were fantastic to chat with. It was a natural conversation, with both of them offering such great energy and excitement about the project.

Protector continues to prove that Milla is one of the few modern artists who can convincingly handle such physical projects. She is a major talent, and it was nice to see the mutual respect during the interview. Grunberg was smart to give this “Taken” style thriller to such a talent as Jovovich.

Protector opens this Friday at a theatre near you.
