Leah Pipes - 'Jessica' in Sorority Row

You look gorgeous.

Leah Pipes: "We've met before."

We have. We've done a couple about this movie and it's finally coming out.

Leah Pipes: "Here it comes."

Are you excited?

Leah Pipes: "I am thrilled. I'm so excited to see what people think. We had so much fun filming it and I just really hope that people enjoy themselves, you know?"

You kind of went through hell filming this though, didn't you? Wasn't this pretty taxing on you guys?

Leah Pipes: "Oh no, not me. My character doesn't do anything. She's above such things. Unfortunately for Bri, she did some but she's pretty kick butt. She can handle that kind of stuff. I would said the most taxing thing was pulling off the wardrobe in 28 degree weather. That was a little taxing."

How did you handle that?

Leah Pipes: "You know, I don't really know. Looking back on it I was like, 'Wow, that's really intense. I'm a stud.' You just kind of don't really think about it. You're like, 'Well, there's no way out of this at this point. I already signed the contract so I've got to do it.'"

Did you watch the original movie?

Leah Pipes: "They actually asked us not to so I think we're all going to wait for us to get done with all this, and then we're all going to have a little slumber party or something and go see it together."

How about the bonding on the set...what did you do? Did you hang out off the set?

Leah Pipes: "We hung out all the time. We became like sorority sisters. We would go out to dinners. We went salsa dancing. Some of the girls would go downstairs and play on the piano in the lobby. So we really bonded."

So is it mostly scary or mostly funny or a good combination of both?

Leah Pipes: "It is a perfect combination of both, I have to say, and I'm not just saying this because this is the movie I'm promoting. I'm actually honestly telling you, 'Go see this film, please.' It's really, really fun and I want you to have a fun Saturday night, Friday night, Thursday night. Just go see it."

Is it a good date movie?

Leah Pipes: "It's a perfect date movie. It's a perfect movie to see with your girlfriends. It's a perfect movie to see with the guy friends. It's a perfect movie to see on a date. I don't know if I'd bring the kids because there are boobs. I mean but if you want to teach them about female anatomy... I don't know. That's your decision to make. I'm not going to condone it."

Is this the type of movie you'd buy a ticket for if you weren't in it?

Leah Pipes: "Yes. I mean, and I don't really like horror movies per-se, but it's so funny and clever that it would be a movie that I would definitely go with the girlfriends to."

Matt Lanter - 'Kyle' in Sorority Row

Tell me about working on this with all these women.

Matt Lanter: "I know, I know, it's terrible. Sorority Row, it was a blast. We had fun. We were filming up in Pittsburgh and all the girls were on set. We had a good time. We filmed it in an abandoned meat packing plant which is kind of freaky in itself. But we survived so here we are."

Was it cold?

Matt Lanter: "It actually was freezing. It was in the middle of winter in Pittsburgh so, yes."

What was it like being on the set with all these women?

Matt Lanter: "It was horrible. It was gross. It was great. No, really. They're the coolest bunch of girls. Everyone got along so great. Rumer [Willis] here, she's one of the coolest girls I know. We had a good time."

And 90210?

Matt Lanter: "90210, we're working hard on that. We're about six or seven episodes in and we premiere next week on September 8th."
