Four Questions for Shutter's Rachael Taylor

by Thomas Houston on March 24, 2008 at 06:39 PM



Australian actress Rachael Taylor hails from Launceston, Tasmania, and she's worked with everyone from director Peter Bogdanavich on 'The Mystery of Natalie Wood' to actors Hugh Jackman and Ewan McGregor in the upcoming 'Deception.' Her acting career started with roles on Australian shows shows, but more recently she's found success with a supporting role as Maggie Madsen in the recent blockbuster, 'Transformers.'

Rachael Taylor is now starring in 'Shutter', a remake of a hit Thai horror film in which ominous ghosts begin to appear in a couple's photographs. The new film reimagines the characters as Americans visiting Tokyo. Rachael Taylor took time to answer just four questions from our Switched Questionnaire.


What gadgets do you always bring with you to the set for down-timee or simply to stay in touch?

Whenever I am on any set, I always have my iPod. Life needs a soundtrack. My BlackBerry came too. It's my portable little office.


What annoys you most about your iPod, cell phone, or mobile computer?

Dropped calls on my cell phone!!! It's infuriating. I get violent. Everyone understands the frustration of this.


Name one thing you wish your iPod/cellphone/laptop could do that it does not currently do?

I have a Mio Digiwalker, basically a pocket GPS navigation system that is helpful when you are in a random city. And it was super useful in Tokyo (where I filmed Shutter) but I really wish I could program it to have a less irritating, less robotic vocal instruction. The voice that tell me to 'turn left in 500 feet' always sounds likes it's mocking me. It probably is.


If you use an iPod, what artist do you listen to most?

Kanye West
