ET Online Interview
Need a good alibi? Rebecca Romijn is heating up the big screen as a tempting grifter caught up in a murder case in 'The Alibi.' "It's not exactly the kind of business you want a lot of people knowing about," the newly single star tells Mark about her character's profession. In 'Alibi,' Rebecca plays Lola Davies, an alluring con woman who may be the key to the survival of the owner of an alibi service for adulterous husbands and wives. Ray Elliott (Steve Coogan of 'Around the World in 80 Days') is the owner, an ex-con man whose future is put in jeopardy when a client, Wendell Hatch ('X-Men' co-star James Marsden), accidentally strangles his date (Jaime King) the weekend before his wedding.
Now an accessory to murder, Ray must mastermind one final con with Lola's help to clear his name, all the while dodging a heart-broken, revenge-minded chauffeur (John Leguizamo), a high-minded assassin (Sam Elliott) and Wendell's father, Robert (James Brolin) -- another client of his.
"It's got this very stylized, film noir quality and this really cool tone," Rebecca says about the star-studded flick, which also stars Selma Blair, Henry Rollins and Jerry O'Connell.
For someone who had to endure hours upon hours of prosthetic make-up to portray the blue Mystique in the 'X-Men' series,' Rebecca is relishing the opportunity to dress up "normally" yet again in this thriller. "I actually get to wear really beautiful suits and get babe hair and makeup, which is really fun," says the 31-year-old actress. "I'm always excited to wear great clothes. Does that make me shallow?"

Transcript of the Interview
Mark Steines: I’m with Rebecca Romijn on the set of her new movie: “The Alibi” for…
Rebecca Romijn: another ET first.
Mark Steines: There it is, you need an alibi?
Rebecca Romijn: For what?
Mark Steines: I don’t know. Did you do anything bad?
Rebecca Romijn: I’d supposed to be at work right now.
Mark Steines: So, if I would have said: “Rebecca, listen, Rebecca, I got myself in a jam and you need to cover for me, you’ll be my alibi”. Would you be good at it?
Rebecca Romijn: Well, yeah.
Mark Steines: You could pull it of?
Rebecca Romijn: The people they cast in this movie are amazing. It is just…
Mark Steines: Never heard of them?
Rebecca Romijn: I mean, come on, it is hilarious, cast of characters, I’m not talking about the characters in the movie, I’m talking about the actors playing them. It is like between, you know, Selma Blair and Sam Elliot and Jim Browning and James Marsden. This is our first movie we have done together, me and James Marsden and we have yet to speak one line of dialogue to each other. It is a really great group of people and it was really exciting to be part of it.
