Mandy Moore told SCI FI Wire that she's not sure what's happening with director Richard Kelly's apocalyptic SF film Southland Tales and added that she's not even sure she's still in the long-delayed project. Starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Seann William Scott, Miranda Richardson, Kevin Smith and singer-actress Moore, Southland Tales is set in near-future Los Angeles on the eve of an unnamed disaster.
"I have not seen any incarnation of that yet," Moore said in an interview while promoting her latest film, License to Wed. "I had a great time working on it. It was one of those things where I met with Richard maybe two weeks before they started shooting. I had just finished that movie American Dreamz at the time, so I was like, 'Um, yeah, sure, I'll jump into this one. Why not?' I play the Rock's wife in the movie, if I'm still in the movie at all. They had to cut it down so much, and maybe they just cut out my character altogether."
An early cut of Southland Tales screened at the Cannes Film Festival last year, drawing nearly unanimous pans. Since then, Kelly (Donnie Darko) has said he's recutting the film for release at a later date, but no release date has been set.
Whatever happens with the film and her role, Moore added, she had a good time making Southland Tales. "I loved working with Rock or Dwayne; I'm not sure what he prefers to be called now," she said. "Sarah Michelle Gellar was in the movie. It was just a fun, huge, gigantic cast of characters there. I'm not in the sci-fi element of it, and I don't get to sing."
