Hot-looking actress Ali Larter showed up at our interview with a new attitude (she's changing career direction), new blonde bob and wearing a slinky black dress for a more sophisticated glamour look. Larter first garnered teen attention in Varsity Blues then became an even bigger draw as the eccentric new ager Clear Rivers in Final Destination and as one of the frightened guests in the House on Haunted Hill.

Now, Larter returns to the screen again as Rivers in Final Destination 2, opening in theaters this week. We found Ali to be candid about her move to New York, interest in theater and decision to do more independent films. She has no regrets about her horror movie choices and still finds the films to be fun escapism.

TeenHollywood: Why did you come back for this sequel?

Ali: With the first one I don't think any of us expected it to be such a big hit. Three years have passed since we did the first one. They talked to the fans and asked what they enjoyed about seeing it and worked all those things into the sequel just making it sharper and tighter. I was totally flattered that they asked me to come back. This movie is for the fans of the first one. I'm the only one that comes back alive (laughs).
