Former Castle star Stana Katic who played an agent in the James Bond movie Quantum of Solace says there are many exciting opportunities in the spyespionage film genre for actresses While actor Daniel Craigs successor as the suave fictional British spy James Bond is yet to be decided like others Katic is also excited about finding out who will replace himThe film series is so engrained in all of us because of the work of the Broccoli family producers of the series I trust them to do best for the next installment I know for sure that Ill be one of those sitting in the audience looking forward to watching itThat said there are many exciting opportunities in the spyespionage film genre for actresses and those films are being helmed by actresses themselves Katic told IANS in an exclusive interviewShe also heaped praise on actress Jessica Chastain who has produced the spy thriller 355 She is formidable and I know I am going to watch that film too she said Katics upcoming World War II drama will further prove that the genre is not just a mens zoneWe wrapped that film in June Its in the stage of editing The film centres on a story of three real women who were spies during World War II It focuses on their efforts to free Nazirun France she sharedIn this film I play a British spy mistress The creator of the James Bond series had said that in the real world of spies Vera Atkins was the boss Since we started telling that tale we learned about these extraordinary women who just stood out as epic heroes from World War II I have come to admire them very much she addedKatic has carved a niche for herself in the action genre She has featured in series like 24 The Shield The Unit and Castle Absentia has brought her back to the genreI come from a big family with loads of brothers So in some way all of those years playing Indiana Jones and XMen in our family furniture store primed me for some sort of an action future Its fun to explore those kind of stories said the Pit Fighter actressSo is a superhero feature film on her todo listI absolutely would love to play a superhero in a feature film but in many ways I feel that the character that I am playing right now Emily Byrne in Absentia is a type of a superheroine So some of those wishes have been already fulfilled said the actress who had voiced Talia al Ghul in the Batman Arkham City video gameThe world that we have set up in Absentia is so extreme and so much larger than life It feels in so many ways like a graphic novel Almost like the story of Odysseus is being told except that in this case Odysseus is a woman So while I would love to play a superheroine in a feature I do feel like I am getting a bit of that adrenaline rush just by telling the story that we are in Absentia she explainedAbsentia revolves around Emily Byrne who was earlier declared dead The first season showed how the FBI agent tried to reclaim her family identity and innocence while finding herself the prime suspect in a string of murdersShe is currently shooting for its second season in BulgariaThe world of Absentia in the second season opens up further Many of the questions that were left in season one will send Emily and some of the other actors across the globe in search of answers We end our story in a lawless part of the world where anything and everything can happen So its been a very exciting season for us to film as actors she saidDuring the telephonic interview she also talked about her visit to an orphanage in BulgariaA part of the crew and some of the actors and I found out about this local foster home project SOS Childrens Village in the area We decided to go and make a visit and showcase what we do in filmmaking It was really wonderfulEveryones goal was to give these children an option on whats possible in their own future Just to show what filmmaking is about and all of the various elements that come into play from makeup artiste to hairstylist to stunt choreography and so on so much more than just the acting and camera work she saidAs for her films The Possession of Hannah Grace just releasedId never done a horror film before It was intriguing to me I am a very sensitive viewer so I find that genre disturbing to watch which seems kind of silly given the fact that I played a role in something like thatUltimately I dont know if I ever laughed on set as much as I did while making this film It was an incredibly satisfying experience which sits in complete contrast to what the actual story is It was quite an experience for me she saidCatch up on all the latest
