Christina Ricci to Make Broadway Debut in TIME STANDS STILL This Fall! — Page 2

^Oh yeah, how could I forget the Addams Family movies? haha

That's why I said I wasn't sure of the time period. But also, it will DEFINITELY be a transfer and not a new production. The entire design team is staying the same and MTC is still producing.

I can picture Ricci being good on stage. She has a bit of a Bette Davis quality where you're always aware that she's acting.

I thought her performance in Black Snake Moan was pretty great. The scene where she attacks her mom in the grocery store is good stuff.

Well, she wasn't in "Hocus Pocus," that was Thora Birch...

If you actually read our conversation, we were talking about Thora Birch, too.

Even though Ricci was in those cheesy, silly comedies when she was a kid, she was still insanely talented. There was something special about her. That is why people are saying she will be superb.

If you're searching for Ricci's impeccable work, try watching some of her later films. While she is mainly known for being the cute kid (and later - odd teen) with the deadpan face, she grew into quite the strong actress. Her work in Prozac Nation (though the movie itself butchered the book), Black Snake Moan, and Monster is very good. Plus I'm in the small group of people who thought she deserved recognition for The Opposite of Sex. A very underrated movie in which she spits venom with every line and completely rules each scene she is in. Though I suppose some credit should be given to the script and great supporting players. Lisa Kudrow in particular proved long before "The Comeback" that she could do more than just be the schticky wacky Phoebe.

Basically, Ricci is one of those actresses most would just toss in the child-star pile. However, she has proven that she is a lot more than that and I can't wait to see her tackle Time Stands Still.
