LOS ANGELES (AP) — Helen Mirren lowers her voice to a whisper and her eyes take on a devious twinkle as she makes a confession: When she has a really good time making a movie, as she did on "The Hundred-Foot Journey," she fears: "Oh my God, is it going to suck?" Not only was the leadership top-notch — Steven Spielberg and Oprah Winfrey are producers; Lasse Hallstrom directs — the project allowed Mirren to make good on a lifelong dream. Adding to the charmed project was its picturesque setting in the south of France ("You'd think you're in an ad for France, but it's all real," Mirren said) and nightly home-made meals by co-star Om Puri, who plays the patriarch of the Indian family. Mirren said that when she sees movies or theater, she feels "blown away" by other actors' work and fearful of her own ability to execute. "[...] maybe (I've) got a project coming up, and then I get really nervous because I think, 'I can't do that,'" the award-winning actress said.
