Behind The Blinds (2022)

There’s no denying that Imogen Poots is prolific. The 32-year-old actress has starred in over 40 films since her breakout role at 17. Perennially busy and cheerfully versatile, she’s gone from playing teenage survivor Tammy in 2007 post-apocalyptic horror 28 Weeks Later to a primary school teacher forced to raise a creepy child in suburban hell for 2019 sci-fi thriller Vivarium. But her latest project might just be her most mysterious yet. In Outer Range (out now on Prime) she plays Autumn, a curious backpacker who shows up on a ranch one day around the same time that a strange void appears. The western sci-fi thriller asks big questions about time, philosophy and the unknown. Mysteries unravel but some questions are left unanswered. It was this complexity that drew Poots to the role. Here, she discusses playing unpredictable female characters, being a woman in Hollywood and taking risks.

Outer Range is a twisty mysterious sci-fi western in which you play eccentric backpacker Autumn. What initially drew you to the project? How did you feel when you first read the script?

I couldn’t immediately understand it. When the script came in, we only had the synopsis and the first episode. Reading it through, it felt like a western and I’d always been really obsessed with that genre of literature and movies but had yet to get a chance to be in that world. At the beginning, it was such a huge leap of faith, but I trusted in it.

The Wardrobe Battle Imogen Poots Was Determined to Fight

With Outer Range’s eight-episode run underway over on Prime Video, Imogen Poots took the time to join us for an episode of Collider Ladies Night to revisit her journey from her earliest credits to joining the cast of Amazon’s supernatural Western. As always on Collider Ladies Night, we made our way through as much of Poots’ filmography as possible in an effort to pinpoint the steps needed to reach her latest release, Outer Range. Many lessons were learned along the way, but some of the projects that made the biggest impression were the ones that helped her figure out the types of stories she wanted most wanted to tell. Check out what Poots had to say about Green Room, Roadies, Outer Range, and so much more on this edition of Collider Ladies Night! Watch the video by clicking the photo below.

Independent Interview (2017)

With her jagged smile and pointed nose, this 27-year-old British actress has a face you don’t forget. In the past decade, she has played every kind of role imaginable. She has been in horror films (28 Weeks Later), a teen romcom with Zac Efron (That Awkward Moment); comedy (She’s Funny That Way), experimental art-house drama (Terrence Malick’s Knight Of Cups), brutal indie fare (Green Room), Irvine Welsh adaptations, biopics and even a car racing movie (Need For Speed). She can do rebels, ingénues, screwball characters or tragic heroines.

At Cannes, Poots was basking in the sun, showing no sign of tiredness. Given that she only arrived at the festival a few hours before and was due to head back to London not long after the interview ended, her relaxed demeanour came as a surprise. The British actress is currently appearing on stage in London in a production of Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? opposite Imelda Staunton, Conleth Hill and Luke Treadaway. She was on stage at the Harold Pinter Theatre late on Saturday night, flew out to Nice in the morning, and would be back in London for the next performance on Monday.

“It’s a long play, nearly three hours. We finished it last night around 11pm. Tomorrow, we start again,” she says. Not that she’s complaining. “Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? is a masterpiece and each night listening to it, it’s such a rich experience. You take so much from that writing, that material, and you can continue to get deeper and deeper into it the more you do it,” she says, sounding more like a student of the play than one of its stars.

Cannes Facetime: Imogen on ‘Mobile Homes’

The British actress Imogen Poots recently seen in “Green Room” and “Roadies” will wrap her theater debut playing Honey in “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” before heading to Cannes with her film “Mobile Homes.” Directed by Vladimir de Fontenay, the movie casts Poots as a woman who drifts from place to place with her boyfriend and young son.

Is it true “Virginia Woolf” Is your first play?

Yes, it’s totally nuts! I wanted to do a play but not just do a play for the sake of it. I wanted to do something I was crazy about. This character is my boyfriend, I spend all my time with her.

Imogen talks anger, nudity & new play

Would you ask a male actor that?” says Imogen Poots, peering at me suspiciously. I’ve just asked when she realised her looks opened up the board for her in terms of roles. I would, I say – Steve Buscemi is a great actor but he didn’t get to play that many romantic leads. “But he works with Jim Jarmusch all the time,” she responds, “and that’s what every actor wants!”

Poots may not have worked with the celebrated indie director yet but she’s certainly been busy over the past few years, since she made a splash as a teenager enjoying a one-night stand with sexagenarian Michael Douglas in Solitary Man (2009) and was the apple of daddy’s eye in the 2010 ITV remake of Bouquet of Barbed Wire. She went on to play porn baron Paul Raymond’s daughter in The Look of Love in 2013 and an endearing would-be suicide in the Nick Hornby adaptation A Long Way Down the folllowing year.

Since then, she’s mixed critically acclaimed films, such as last year’s violent thriller Green Room, with blockbusters like Need for Speed (2014), and worked with another director that every actor would kill to be cast by, Terrence Malick, on his 2015 film Knight of Cups. That was “wonderful but mad”, she says, recalling the day she thought to ask Malick where her character was from. “He said, ‘Oh well, she’s essentially like smoke; she’s from nowhere and, uh, everywhere’, and I said, ‘Right, OK, great…’.” READ MORE
