PARK CITY, Utah - Bradley Cooper and Zoe Saldana came to the Sundance Film Festival to promote their closing-night film, "The Words." The two actors play a married couple in the movie, which follows an aspiring writer who gains fame when he finds an old manuscript and passes it off as his own.

French writer-producer Luc Besson must have grown tired of watching Hollywood rehash his gal-with-a-gun actioner "Nikita," a memorably tight and efficient thriller which spawned a forgettable remake ("The Assassin," with Bridget Fonda) and might be considered the mother of recent reloads like "Salt," "Hanna," and Steven Soderbergh's forthcoming "Haywire."

Movieline spoke with Saldana about her childhood role models, the influence of films like Besson’s The Professional and La Femme Nikita on her Colombiana assassin, the challenges facing minority voices in film and her directorial debut(s).

The first time I watched Saldana’s Calvin Klein spot—for underwear, for a scent, for the overall CK brand, is there seriously a separation between these things anymore?—I couldn’t figure out why she signed on for it.

Surely she didn’t need the money or the exposure; she just appeared in the highest-grossing movie ever made as a blue-skinned, nine-foot tall alien warrior princess.
