Chloe Sevigny got quite a role in ‘Hit & Miss’: she plays a pre-op transgender hitman named Mia. The role required her to strip for the screen, and Chloe admits it wasn’t easy.

“I think the hardest part for me was grappling with the nudity. In the beginning I tried to convince them to have a body double. I was very uncomfortable and I wanted to respect the character and not have her feel exploited.”

The filming conditions (it was shot on location in Manchester, England) didn’t make it any easier.

“I think I might have felt isolated in the way that she did. Being worried about the accent and the part being so physically demanding. Sometimes you’re not aware of it at the time but in retrospect you realize. Now I feel like it was an amazing experience and the part is like nothing I will ever play again.”

I suspect the translation for that is: “I will NEVER do that again”- LOL. It sounds like the end result- what we’ll see on the screen- is “softer” than what Chloe anticipated.

“The screenplay read very differently to how it looks on TV. It was much more provocative. On the screen it’s very lyrical and beautiful but on the page it seemed much more hardcore.”

I wonder if we’ll get a chance to see ‘Hit & Miss’ in the States? I’ll have to check my international channels- it certainly sounds different from anything we see here!
