I talk about kissing a lot…

How far from a convent can you get? After her Oscar-nominated performance opposite Meryl Streep in Doubt, Amy Adams is trading in her nun’s habit for a blood-spattered apron in Sunshine Cleaning.

From the makers of Little Miss Sunshine, the dark dramedy (co-starring Emily Blunt) gives Adams the leading role as a mom trying to pay for her daughter’s schooling by cleaning up gory crime scenes.

Q: Calling this a change of pace hardly does it justice.

A: I know, isn’t being an actress wonderful? Actually, it was challenging to play Rose who’s a single mom and hasn’t really made a lot of her life and doesn’t have a very strong sense of self worth. Even when she finally turns things around by starting her cleaning business, she’s on her own and feeling very alone. So it was hard to step into that persona every day.

The folks over at Hollywood Outbreak have posted a fantastic, albeit short, audio clip of Amy talking Sunshine Cleaning and how Emily Blunt got her into Doubt.

More and more photos keep showing up!  I’ve added nearly over 150 more photos – including 30 57 in high quality.  This brings our photo coverage up to nearly over 400 images!

In addition to the new photos, I also screencapped a short interview Amy did while on the red carpet.  I apologize for the low quality of the caps, this was the best I could find.

As I mentioned in my earlier post, the premiere of Sunshine Cleaning was tonight.  Amy was in attendance and I’ve already managed to gather well over 200!! MQ images and added them to the gallery.  HQ images are coming soon.

While not directly related to Amy as she doesn’t sing on it, I figured some of you may be interested in information about the Sunshine Cleaning soundtrack.  According to this source, the CD releases tomorrow and features a score by Michael Penn.  You can view the full track list after the cut.

Another interesting tidbit from the same source states:

“Sunshine Cleaning” stars Amy Adams, Emily Blunt, Alan Arkin, Steve Vaughn and comes out in limited release this Friday March 13 via Overture Films. Our screening is tonight.

Perhaps we’ll get some new Amy photos!

It didn’t feel like make-believe. That was hard, emotionally.

Blood. Guts. Maggots and corpses. These aren’t exactly the sorts of images that most visualize when they think of Oscar-nominated actress Amy Adams. Yet gory death becomes her element in “Sunshine Cleaning,” where Adams stars as Rose, the once-popular high school cheerleader dealing with a fall from grace: She’s a single mother who finds herself cleaning the sprawling homes of high school classmates. Her life reaches a crossroads when she and her sister (Emily Blunt) find their calling as a crime-scene cleanup crew. Academy Award-winner Alan Arkin also stars in the film. We spoke with Adams, 34, about finding new life through death.

Q: What made you want to be a part of this film?

A: I was attracted to the sister and family dynamic, and the story of my character’s individual plight. I have two sisters, and I know that sister relationships are very complex and intimate. And it becomes even more interesting as you grow up and start seeing each other as individuals and adults.

Q: Rose is an intense and driven lady. Was it difficult to keep up?

A: Yes. Playing Rose was very draining. She was always trying so hard to make everything work for everyone. But she didn’t have a lot of self-worth. Then she comes to a crossroads in her life and starts finding change and purpose. But she’s doing it all on her own and feeling very alone. To walk into that every day was hard, but also very rewarding.
