Tribute.ca has a fantastic, great quality video clip of Tricia Helfer at yesterday’s Toronto International Film Festival A Beginner’s Guide to Endings Press Junket in Canada, where Tricia answered a lot of questions regarding the film, her supporting role of Miranda, her co-stars and working with them, and also touched on Battlestar Galactica, Dark Blue, Lie to Me, Two and a Half Men, Phase One (very fleetingly) and Open House. The video unfortunately can’t be embedded here at this point, so please head over to Tribute.ca via the below screen cap to watch it:

Speaking of screen caps, since actual pics from the junket have really been nowhere to be found so far, except for this tweeted picture from Tricia herself, we’ve instead made a batch of pretty sharp-quality Tricia captures of the aforementioned video. As you can see, Tricia looked nothing short of divine at the event in a navy blue, satin one-shoulder David Meister cocktail dress and Swarovksi earrings. Be sure to check out the pics!

“If you kill her, we can go.”
- David, talking about Lila
Check out these 915 site-exclusive 1080p Blu-Ray screen captures of Tricia Helfer as Lila in the Andrew Paquin-directed home invasion slasher thriller Open House, co-starring Brian Geraghty, Rachel Blanchard, Stephen Moyer and Anna Paquin. Pending distribution, the film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival last April, following which Grindstone Entertainment picked it up for a Region 1 / North American straight-to-DVD release.
Personally, I hugely enjoyed Tricia’s terrific portrayal of the unrestrained, psychologically twisted but ultimately quite insecure Lila. Although Lila is certainly seductive and therein reminiscent of e.g. Battlestar Galactica‘s Number Six, what’s really worth noticing is the nuance in character Tricia displays in Lila when “no one’s looking”. Brian Geragthy delivers another powerful performance as Lila’s David, and I really enjoyed the overall attention to detail in director Paquin’s visual storytelling. (As an interesting sidenote, which might be worth keeping in mind if and when you get to check out the film for yourself, according to this DVD Talk review of the film, it’s revealed in the Andrew Paquin and Geraghty-narrated DVD audio commentary that Lila and David are actually siblings. This is only once alluded to in the film itself, though.)
Spoiler Warning: Please note that these screen captures, particularly caps 850-915, contain big spoilers as to the outcome of the film. If you wish to remain unspoiled and just watch the movie for yourself, you’ll have skip these. Sorry.

Check out these three new reviews of Andrew Paquin’s home invasion thriller Open House, starring Tricia Helfer as Lila opposite Brian Geraghty and Rachel Blanchard, from DVD Talk, FEARnet and Blu-RayDefinition.com respectively. Although reviews on the film overall (these included) have been rather mixed, Tricia and co-star Geraghty’s performances have been unanimously commended as the film’s best.
Update Jul 3: Another two new reviews at Inside Pulse Movies and RockStarWeekly.com!
A couple of excerpts on Tricia’s performance:
“Where Open House’s strengths lie are in its cinematography and direction. Paquin shows potential in this first outing for sure. The film looks crisp, moody, and Geraghty’s character is admittedly unsettling. Tricia Helfer also does a good job as the sexed up murderess. No doubt she’ll win over some portion of male viewers. [...] For a debut film, Open House shows promise from Andrew Paquin, but as a psychological thriller and/or slasher film, there are far better movies in these genres that one might want to view. With that said, Brian Geraghty and Tricia Helfer put on wonderful performances and the Blu-ray from Lionsgate will certainly give you an excellent home theatre experience.” Full review > Blu-RayDefinition.com
“Since this is starting to read more like an essay than a movie review, I’m sure it comes across that I find Lila and David kind of fascinating on an intellectual level, I guess, but I don’t really care about them as characters. There’s not a strong emotional hook to drag me in, and what they do isn’t visceral enough to provoke a reaction in that sense either. Don’t get me wrong; I don’t have any gripes at all with Tricia Helfer or Brian Geraghty’s performances here. Helfer is certainly experienced at playing a manipulative vamp, and Geraghty captures the sort of stillness and lack of emotion I’d expect to see in a sociopath. So many of these types of killers in other movies devolve into dementedly over-the-top, scenery-gnawing cartoons, and I appreciate that Open House doesn’t tear off in that direction. I just never really connected with them, and I’m not sure how to describe it any more effectively than that.” Full review > DVD Talk

Have a look at this great Examiner.com interview with Tricia Helfer from the April Tribeca Film Festival, in which she talks about her most recent onscreen work, including Open House, Dark Blue and A Beginner’s Guide to Endings, and how e.g. Battlestar Galactica has influenced her as an actress. Full article under the cut.
A perfect word to describe Canadian-born actress Tricia Helfer would be ‘versatile’. For looking at the roles she has played, versatile is what’s seen in Helfer’s acting range. Most known for her character in the Battlestar Galatica series, Helfer has played a variety of characters, including portraying the late Farrah Fawcett in the 2004 NBC television film Behind the Camera :The Unauthorized Story of ‘Charlie’s Angels’. The former model has recently joined the cast of Dark Blue for their second season. The way Helfer describes her eclectic new role in the TNT drama once again presents her versatile talent as an actress. She recently discussed with me the fun she’s having with the part, as well as her thoughts on her leading role in the new thriller Open House, which brought her to this year’s Tribeca Film Festival for its premiere.
You’re currently at the Tribeca Film Festival for the premiere of your new film Open House. How is the Film Festival? Is this your first time there?
Tricia – It’s my first time at the festival so it’s quite exciting. The premiere was last night and I think it went over pretty well. I’m just excited to be here in Tribeca. Really looking forward to seeing what happens with Open House.
What most appealed to you about the part of Lila in Open House?
Tricia – What I liked about Lila, what appealed to me in the script was there was more layer to the character than just being evil, seductive serial killer, kind of one note, icy so to speak. I saw when I read as just a real truth, psychosis, to the character and I wanted to try to portray that. You know you don’t expect her to have vulnerabilities but when she’s by herself you do see some glimpses of vulnerabilities in this narcissistic character.
How did this part challenge you differently from any other parts you’ve played?
Tricia – It was great working with Brian Geraghty, he is the playoff between the two of us. We’re playing siblings and his character kept his emotions in and was very reserved in many ways until he lashed out. And it was a very dominate sort of relationship. So I think one of the challenges was playing with him and finding the right balance of the Lila character, who’s very strong and out there and outspoken. Definitely the dominant. And just her having to react to her brother and how she shows love to him but controlling him.
