Thanks to Collider Michelle talks the dual roles of her Rain persona via Resident Evil: Retribution. Excerpt as follows.

We talked to Oded Fehr a little bit earlier and he was saying how you’re playing a dual role in this movie and how you’re defying your usual roles and playing that up a bit. Can you talk more about that?
Rodriguez: Yeah, that was fun. Well, basically Paul’s original idea was that a UPS worker would be one of the clones and then we got together and we started to brainstorm and we came up with this juxtaposition of me playing a tomboy all the time and he said, “wouldn’t it be nice to see you feminine, Michelle?” And I was like, “yes, that would be nice before it all wrinkles up and I can’t use it anymore.” So I figured I’d might as well do it. I threw on some high heels, added a nice little ‘hippy twist’ to the whole thing and before you know it, I’m driving a Prius in Zombieland. It was pretty cool.

What are some of the challenges of oscillating back and forth between “Good Rain” and “Bad Rain”?
Rodriguez: You know, I find it kind of fun because I’ve played the same character for so long that it’s kind of like I am always an exaggerated version of my angry side. I’m so comfortable with her that it was kind of cool and fun to play something awkward and different- someone who is quirky and doesn’t know how to handle a gun and someone who is curious. I kind of feel like an audience member while playing that character because I’m like “what the hell is going on here? Why are you dressed like a superhero? How come there are dead people walking around on the streets?”

I owe a big apology, I’ve been neglecting my sites with real life in the way but I bring good news! As of May 2011, Justin Lin has confirmed there will be a Fast and The Furious 6. Kudos to Vin, Paul and Jordana for breaking the box office as the #1 movie, which is Fast Five! Out in theaters now.

Letty Ortiz, which is Michelle’s character was never actually shown dead, it was pretty much all in Dominic Toretto’s mind. If you follow the story closely and watch AFTER the credits of Fast Five…

Just watch the movie. All I can say is Eva Mendes is back from Fast2Furious along with The Rock from Fast Five…and Michelle just might be alive!
