Gender-swapping such an iconic and well-loved mightve seemed blasphemous at first, but Katee made the role her own.
(Is it obvious yet that Im kind of a fan?)

Im good, how are you?
Yeah, not bad.
I hear youre in your car right now?
Yeah, Im driving in a rainstorm.
I dont want to be responsible for your horrible death in a car crash.
Im just gonna ask really easy questions.
Oh no, Ive got you on speakerphone, dont worry about it!
This is how we do it in Los Angeles.
Okay, if youre sure.
I loved that they were based on true stories.
Playing somebody whos still alive is very interesting.
How much did you base your performance on the real person?
Did you meet her?
We met them on set, but we met them after we finished filming.
It must be strange meeting someone when youve been pretending to be them.
It is a little.
Its like being a little kid playing an adult.
I think everyone feels a bit like that all the time!
I had such a great time on this movie!
And any time you have a child on set, it changes the tone and keeps everyone happy.
Dont they say never to work with children or animals?
And there were both in this film.
Yeah, I always work with children and animals!
How much do you believe in the supernatural?
It seems to have something in it.
Both of us are constantly are like were you just upstairs?
No, I wasnt, I was here the whole time.
No, you were just upstairs.
Are you hearing footsteps, or actually seeing someone?
We just see a man in the house every once in a while.
I think Id move.
Because hes not scary.
It could just be a dream, too.
Maybe you should check your wardrobes.
Um, sorry about that.
So, youve done a few horror movies now; the next one to come out will be Oculus.
Can you tell me a bit about that?
That sounds terrifying again.
Its a fantastic movie, Im really looking forward to people seeing it.
I cant talk to you and not talk just a little bit about Battlestar Galactica.
I always loved her.
I loved her as somebody who wore their heart on their sleeve and didnt see it as a weakness.
Thats a pretty awesome way to grow up.
I know, right?
Do you have more of those coming up?
[ominous rumble in the background]
Oh my gosh, that was so funny.
I just drove under an awning and massive amounts of water poured down on the car.
Los Angeles is not used to this weather.
I grew up in Oregon, and this is Oregon weather, if that makes any sense.
This is like London weather, its crazy for us.
We needed it here in California, its been so dry, but I dont know if we neededthis.
I actually havent seen an accident yet though, which is kinda nice.
Everyone always drives like a lunatic when the weather changes.
Um, are you almost where youre going?
Im sitting in my car, stopped at a gas station.
I feel better about this.
Oh, if you knew!
This is how people in Los Angeles function.
I could actually talk on the phone and ride my motorcycle.
I would have hung up on you if you were on your motorcycle.
I have Bluetooth in my motorcycle helmet so I can talk on the phone.
Sometimes, youve just gotta push the limits.
Do you watch a lot of sci-fi?
Are you kind of a nerd underneath the badassery?
I think were all nerds, to be honest.
Why are you not kissing her?
and then it ended and I was like oh, come on.
But at the same time I can appreciate that they didnt.
Well, you expect them to kiss, so its more striking that they dont.
I think you do, and I think thats why people like it.
At the end of the day, movies are art and its subjective and everyone has a different opinion.
Yeah, of course.
So finally, I need to ask you something very important.
Whats your favourite Jason Statham movie?
I love Jason Statham.
Thats the right answer.
I have tried desperately to be in every single movie with Jason Statham and its never worked out.
I loveThe Transporter, I wanted to be inThe Mechanicwith him but they picked someone else.
I just love Jason Statham.
I think we need to start a petition for you to be in a movie with him.
Hes really cute, Ive always liked him.
I just wanted to love him.
But I never got the opportunity.
You could be in a movie with him, though, thats not cheating.
Yeah…
God, traffic is crazy, these people are insane.
Im gonna let you go, because Im worried about your driving again.
If you only knew!
Ive been talking on the phone, drinking coffee, and eating breakfast all while driving to an appointment.
Im very good at multitasking.
Katee Sackhoff, thank you very much.
The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia is out on DVD and Blu-ray now.
