Christina Ricci has revealed that she wants to concentrate on family films in the future.
The actress said she is tired of playing tortured souls and enjoyed the opportunity to star in her first action movie
Speed Racer.
She is quoted as saying:
“I wanted to do a kids' movie again. I wanted to do a family film. There are so many family movies for kids but they don't actually teach you anything.”
“Speed Racer really stresses integrity and morals and a love of family, and that's something I think is really important and a trend we need to bring back.”
Ricci played a nymphomaniac in
Black Snake Moan, the lesbian lover of a serial killer in
Monster and a damaged teen in films such as
The Ice Storm and
Prozac Nation.
