Lloyd Looks Forward to Monday
-----------------------------
Sabrina Lloyd, who stars in the upcoming futuristic
feature film The Girl From Monday, told SCI FI Wire
that writer/director Hal Hartley successfully blended
a wide variety of genres into an elegant whole. "It is
a moving piece of poetry," she said in an interview
while promoting her upcoming CBS series, Numb3rs, at
the network's winter press tour in Universal City,
Calif. "It's a sci-fi-action-drama-comedy-thriller.
It's got so many elements. It's so crazy. It's so
beautiful. He's a true artist. And I'm so honored to
have been a part of the film. It's crazy to me that
I'm a part of that film. I watch it, and I'm just in
awe of it."
Monday depicts a dark future in which people are traded
on the stock market. Lloyd said she believes that the
film is a cautionary tale about where society is headed.
"It's not quite off the mark," she said. "It's mostly,
I think, a commentary on consumerism. And we need to
kind of watch it." Hartley previously ventured into
fantasy with the 2001 beauty-and-the-beast tale No Such
Thing.
In Monday, Lloyd ‹ who is best known to SF fans for her
****trayal of Wade on two seasons of the TV show Sliders
‹ plays a woman who is slightly out of step with her
environment and tries to break free from the societal
conventions of her world. "I find she's a woman who's
found herself within the constraints of society and has
gone along with what is considered proper," she said.
"And she kind of finds her way out of that in the story
and will end up kind of dancing to her own tune."
The Girl From Monday will premiere at the Sundance Film
Festival on Jan. 26 and opens in New York on Jan. 30.
