Rosa has always looked for varions in her roles. It's one of the things I admire about her as an actress, she's willing to give anything a go, she's always wanting to explore something different. It's why she keeps returning to the stage, where she has taken a variety of very different roles. You can literally hand over any script you get in with a reasonable female lead in it for her to take a look at, I can never call what she'll go for. When the opportunity arose to take on a swords and sandals popcorn blockbuster she grabbed it with both hands. It's very different from a Bond film, she may have done action before but not in this way.
