War Inc:
Duff was at the premiere of her latest movie War Inc at the Tribeca Festival in New York and said that her role in the film takes a serious turn from real life. Known as a good girl, Duff plays a pop star Yonica for this film, and says that she had to visit her dark side.
"It was a challenge because it's finding a character who is so different from my personal life and how people will perceive me. What was on my mind was that when people see this are they going to freak out? But then I said, this is acting and I am an actor. It was a challenge and I wanted to go for it. Stepping into the whole outfit and the accent made it easy in a way but that part was challenging," says Duff.
War Inc is a dark political satire that also stars Marisa Tomei, Dan Aykroyd and John Cusack who plays a corporate hit man who travels to the embattled country of Turaqistan, to kill a Middle East oil minister.
He poses as a trade show manager and oversees the wedding of a pop singer played by Duff, to get close to his target.
Directed by Joshua Seftel War Inc hits US theatres on May 23.
