The Verge: Imogen Poots

There’s a bit of cognitive dissonance that happens when you watch Imogen Poots in Solitary Man : she’s utterly convincing as a confident Manhattan teenager who sexually entangles herself with the boyfriend (Michael Douglas) of her wealthy mother (Mary-Louise Parker), but with a name like “Imogen Poots,” there’s no way she’s actually American. In fact, the 20-year-old Poots is British and, until now, best known for playing one of the young leads in 28 Weeks Later . That should change after the one-two-three punch Poots has coming in Solitary Man , the Cannes drama Chatroom , and the Cary Fukunaga-directed Jane Eyre , where she plays rival to Mia Wasikowska. As Solitary Man sees release this week, Poots called up Movieline to discuss the sitcom that helped her with an American accent, the perils of technology, and the pleasures of working twice opposite Michael Fassbender.
