You\u2019ll never meet more of an awkward babe than Aubrey Plaza. The thinking man\u2019s pin up has featured in hit indie flicks such as Safety Not Guaranteed, The To Do List and Scott Pilgrim Versus the World and we\u2019ve fallen hard. Her dean-pan cool is infectious and has set tongues wagging across the world so who better to play smoldering girlfriend back-from-the-dead in Life After Beth<\/em>. Written and directed by Plaza\u2019s boyfriend Jeff Baena, the zombie-com features lady of the moment Anna Kendrick and John C. Reilly. Given the cast of his dreams, Director Jeff Baena felt as though he had pulled off the ultimate heist, \u201cIt felt like I was legitimately pulling off a scam,\u201d he laughs.<\/p>\n Plaza\u2019s stage presence is electric and the audience hangs on her every word. Her quick-witted quips prove she\u2019s very much the driving force behind her characters. \u201cIf anyone wants me I\u2019m going to be across the street burning my iPhone and that\u2019s an open invitation so that we can just live in reality and interact as humans and not as zombies,\u201d says Aubrey. Not one to shy away from the dark side Plaza took to the role a little too easily. \u201cHonestly I feel like there\u2019ve been many times in my life when I\u2019ve been drawn to demonic forces,” she admits. “It\u2019s easier for me to play a zombie rather than a human\u201d. Nevertheless stage five was ample for Plaza on the zombie scale. \u201cI had blood all over me and dirt, it was pretty messed up but to answer your question I was not<\/i> like \u201cGive it to me more!\u201d she laughs.\u00a0Agreeably, Plaza was ready to suffer for her art, which resulted in a serious injury whilst working with kitchen appliances, as she explains: \u201cIt was really fun to have an oven strapped to my back and, the first time I ripped my abdominal wall\u201d. Impressive.<\/p>\n Lead by Hell raiser Aubrey Plaza, Life After Beth<\/i> is a metaphorical approach to exploring relationships and how a person can change right in front of your eyes. Baena\u2019s intention, objective fulfilled.<\/p>\n
