Article - Christina Ricci in Cursed
NEW YORK, Sept. 24, 2003

Christina Ricci is no stranger to the supernatural, having starred in big screen versions of "The Addams Family," "Casper," and "Sleepy Hollow." Her latest film film, "Cursed," finds her fighting a new beast."I was really, really excited" to get the call from director Wes Craven to do this film, Ricci tells The Early Show co-anchor Harry Smith. "I just finished doing 'Monster,' and it was heavier. I came back to L.A., and they're, like, "Oh, there's this Wes Craven murder film,' " Ricci says. "And I thought, 'Oh, cool. I'd do that kind of movies in that kind of genre. I should probably work for him.' " Craven and writer Kevin Williamson, the creators of "Scream," teamed up once again to offer in "Curse" a twist on classic monster fables, unleashing omens into the modern world.

So how does Ricci make it real?

"You can make the expression, and the feeling will follow," she explains. "If you're running and screaming, you generally follow through with being scared." It is called acting, Smith points out and acting is something Ricci is good at. Her work perhaps contributed to the victory of Charlize Theron at the Academy Awards for "Monster," Smith says "No. She was incredible," Ricci says. "Just seeing what she went through and what she committed to, and how she's just amazing. I helped out."

Does she have any Oscar favorites this year?

"I love Johnny (Depp for "Finding Neverland."). I hope Johnny wins this. He's such a great actor. And I love Cate Blanchett, and I think it is ridiculous that she has never won an Academy Award."
