ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT ONLINE: In this movie, your character is posed with the hypothetical question, what would you do if you found all this money? So if that question was posed to you, what do you think your answer would be?

BRIDGET FONDA: Well, I'd be similar. I'd say, let's give it back. I wouldn't keep it.

ET ONLINE: Would having it spilled out all over your dining room table change your mind?

BRIDGET: Well, I don't know. Spill it out and I'll tell you. (laughs) No, I don't think that I would. I think I learned my lesson from making the movie about how wrong it all could go. But the other thing that I learned is that if you want something done right, you do it yourself. I wouldn't keep it.

ET ONLINE: What was it that originally attracted you to doing this film?

BRIDGET: I really loved the script. The way that the story unfolded, and the characters.

ET ONLINE: What were the working conditions like out there in the cold and with that fake pregnancy belly?

BRIDGET: Well, luckily I was working inside the nice, warm house, so I had it pretty easy. But my back did hurt from carrying that belly. But I got to take it off at night. I had one that I had to put under my clothes, and another prosthetic one that was a major task to apply.

ET ONLINE: What do you think the audience will take away from this movie?

BRIDGET: Well, there's that big question, would you or wouldn't you have taken the money? But I think the question is, would I be able to resist, would I be able to foresee what would be lurking behind this alleged "gift from above"? That's the kind of question that I would like somebody to really ask themselves to saying they had moral fortitude than actually living it out.

ET ONLINE: As a moviegoer, what do you think of movies today?

BRIDGET: Well, I'm kind of out of the loop. See, I'm an old movie fanatic, I usually spend my time watching old movies or documentaries. I haven't seen most of anything that is out now, although I do hear that there are some good ones. I want to go see 'Happiness' and I really want to see 'Ronin.'
