fic fodder from LA Times 8/18/04


" One quality McAdams and Craven both touched upon when talking about Murphy's qualities was his eyes.

"I couldn't believe they were real," said Craven. "I don't think I've ever seen eyes quite that shade, such a pale but a very, very bright blue."

"They're very hypnotic," McAdams said. "In a creepy way and in a very charming way."

In that respect, they helped Murphy out, since his character has to be charming at the start and then intimidating as the film goes on. Murphy seemed amused by the amount of effort that went into "reading" his eyes.

"I just use them for looking at things," Murphy said with a smile."
