MTV News recently caught up with model and actress Natalie Martinez on the set of Lala’s latest music video. Natalie, who will be co-hosting an upcoming style special titled MTV Tr3s Fashionista, couldn’t stop talking about the new movie she’s working on.
It’s called Death Race with Jason Statham, Tyrese Gibson and we have Joan Allen and Ian McShane. It’s really exciting. It’s this whole action film that’s around prison and race for our freedom.
But don’t take any little brothers, sisters or primitos to this one:
There’s a lot of violence. It’s very Mad Max, it’s very raw. So it’s a lot of fun.
Well, it’s a good thing Natalie enjoyed herself on a set like that; usually action flicks can be pretty tough training-wise. About her labor-intensive gig, Natalie says:
It was definitely physical... I love getting rough and doing stunts. So that was a lot of fun for me. Arriba las Latinas Fuertes!!!
And we aren’t kidding; Natalie plays a pretty strong character in the film:
In the movie I play Case. She is in jail for killing her husband and she happened to be a police officer.
Wow, a husband-killing cop in jail? Cuidado!!
I’m hooked up with Jason Statham to be his driver and we race in prison. Yeah, I play his navigator. I’m definitely his sidekick.
Sounds to me like there may be a little bit of romance going on there! You can catch all the action in Death Race which hits theatres August 22nd. [MTV News]
