Sigourney
Weaver on the film's premise:
“These down and out actors, who used to be on this sci-fi TV show which
was cancelled a while ago, their lives really consist of going from one
convention to another and they hate each other. In the middle of all this, a
group of fans – they think – come down and invite them to take a look
at the replica they made of their spaceship
“They end up taking us into space and they are being
invaded by this villain named Sarris. They think the shows they have seen are
historical documents of our little band actually saving the universe.
"So
even though we are terrible cowards and we don’t know what we’re
doing, we end up having to save these guys and actually become the heroes we
are pretending to be.”
On
going blonde for the role:
“I suggested that we make her a blonde, cat-suited creature – a sort
of homage to the great blondes that figured prominently in those series of the
Seventies and Eighties, and also Jane Fonda in Barbarella. I figured her job
had to be mostly ornamental. She’s sort of her own worst enemy because she
does all the things that blonde bombshells do. She put her best assets forwards
as it were, and it’s very hard for them to take her
seriously.”
Do
blondes have more fun?
“I’m afraid I did. I think being blonde did something to me mentally.
I found that I was very bouncy and perky and outgoing. Usually I’m sort of
shy! It’s a less threatening image in a way; brunettes maybe look a little
more mysterious.”
