Prom Night is the latest horror remake of a popular slasher franchise. The 2008 version has significantly altered the story though. It is still a killer stalking a high school prom, but this killer is an obsessed stalker who murdered the heroine’s family, not some vengeful spy who knows a dark secret. For actress Brittany Snow, the original take made it easier to sign on for a remake.

“This was definitely something that I had to really think about and kind of weigh all my options,” said Snow. “I never wanted to do a teen horror film that was not something that I could kind of dig my teeth into or be challenging or just one of those very basic teen horror movies where there’s the killer and then they go after all the young teenagers and it’s the stereotypical thing. I never wanted to do that.”

Prom Night ‘08 director Nelson McCormick worked with Snow to sell her on his version. “After meeting with Nelson McCormick a few times, talking over the script with him and kind of sharing my ideas and what he thought for the movie and his changes to the script and how it was different from the original and what he was thinking, I was really, really interested. This was a story that is so based on what the psychology is of the killer, and not necessarily just him racking up a body count, or him just killing people for no reason. It’s actually a very smart story of a guy really obsessed with this girl, and loves her, which I kind of liked. It wasn’t so one-dimensional.”

Prom Night opens to theaters on April 11th.

Brittany Snow: “I Have Sex with Everybody in the Movie.”

Hairspray actress Brittany Snow has been a bad, bad girl. In the upcoming drama Black Water Transit, Snow breaks out of her wholesome box to play the role of a troubled prostitute. “Basically, I have sex with everybody in the movie. I wear nothing the entire time,” Snow, 21, reveals in the August issue of Vegas Magazine, on newsstands August 1st.

For more revelations about the rising star (like, how she partied for 3 days straight to celebrate her 21st birthday!), check out excerpts from the interview below:

On dealing with the critical world of Hollywood:
I’m a messed-up actress. I should be strong and have this thick skin, but I’m a really sensitive girl.

On hitting the Sin City scene on her 21st birthday:
We were up for probably three days straight—without any drugs—but lots of alcohol and lots of coffee.

On being taken seriously for her craft, not her lifestyle:
I’m really excited to show people that I am an actual actress, not just wanting to be a celebrity and go to this party and that party.
