ON-SET STORIES
Steven Roy’s wife Carrie-Anne Moss (The Matrix I, II, III) visited the set and met Xena veteran and future Mutant X star Victoria Pratt - two women who can really kick some ass, as it were.

Excerpt from Sci-Fi Talk 12/02: Victoria Pratt | listen
Tony Tellado: Now, there's another movie that you're doing, or I've heard you've done, called The Mallory Effect that's due out sometime this year.
Victoria: Yeah.
Tony: Romantic comedy. Totally opposite, obviously a different direction from Mutant X. Can you talk about that? It sounds like a fun idea for a flick, where one guy wants to get back an old girlfriend, so he becomes friends with her new boyfriend, essentially.
Victoria: Yeah. That was a funny movie, really good movie. It opened up the Slam Dance Film Festival.
Tony: Oh great, great.
Victoria: Yeah. It was so fun. We shot it in Montreal.
Tony: Oh, nice.
Victoria: And the character's Jennifer. She's just insecure and looking for love in all the wrong places, and gets her heart trampled by this jerk. And it was so much fun to play.
Tony: Well, that sounds neat.

Victoria Pratt
Mutant X is filmed in Toronto, and while there, Pratt won a role in an independent film called The Mallory Effect, starring model Josie Maran. For weeks she applied her athletic endurance to a grueling schedule that took her back and forth between daytime shoots in Toronto and nighttime shoots in Montreal for The Mallory Effect. The hard work has paid off: The show is still successful and the film was selected for the opening night gala slot at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival.

Bad Kitty!
By Eric Alt Maxim, Jan 2004
You recently did a movie called The Mallory Effect. What was your part?
I play the cross-eyed pity fuck.
That’s the best character description we’ve ever heard.
Yeah, right? She’s sort of a pathetic character, and I had to tap into that insecure part that everyone has. No matter who you are, there’s that piece of you that got beat up at school, or you had your heart trashed. You have to call on your inner schmuck.

Arresting Beauty
Q: You played a cross-eyed pity date in The Mallory Effect. Did you really cross your eyes the whole time?
A: Yeah. I would practice. I did an entire dinner party like that-which really hurts by the way-so I figured I was good to go. Then I realized that I had done all of my practicing sitting down. It’s a whole different ball game when you’re walking, because your eyes are constantly trying to refocus. It was hard being a cross-eyed pity f*** in a movie!
Q: Pity f***? We thought it was a pity date.
A: Nope. Now you really want to see the movie, don’t you?
