- Lang describes her character as a woman who leads the charge, but still faces setbacks and challenges.
Inside Katherine Kelly Lang’s New Role
This is not Lang’s first Italian film. But the moment she read the script, she knew she wanted to work with director Angelo Frezza and Lupa Films. In an interview with Popp Dapp News, she shared why she wanted to work on another feature film set in the beautiful country. This role struck Lang as complex and multi-layered, which was new to her.
Lang has played Brooke Logan on B&B for four decades. Brooke has taken on many roles, from model to CEO, mother, and wife. But Lang has never taken on a role like this before. She teased that her character is “intelligent, determined, and resilient, but she also carries doubts, fears, and emotional wounds. I wanted to honor that complexity.”
Lang is aware that Brooke has struck a chord with B&B fans as well. She addressed the popularity of her character. Because of Brooke Logan, Lang knew that she had to play “timeless” characters. She resonates with characters who are “real, regardless of the time period or circumstances. Whether she is strong or vulnerable, successful or struggling, people want to see someone they recognize in themselves.”
B&B Star Is Drawn to Stories of Resilience
Lang revealed that she loves stories that convey “resilience.” But she also wants the characters themselves to reveal their “imperfection.” Even Brooke is not perfect at all times, even if she claims to be. Currently, Brooke can’t forgive Katie (Heather Tom) for stealing her name and Eric’s (John McCook) designs.
During her interview, Lang told the publication that she’s attracted to roles that empower women. She wants to continue to tackle characters who are “strong women while allowing them to be imperfect, vulnerable, and authentic.” But this doesn’t mean that she’s walking away from her iconic B&B role anytime soon.
Lia Mia Storia Con Te is currently in production in Rimini, Italy. The film is about an ambitious and successful American producer who faces her share of “personal challenges, insecurities, and emotional complexities.” Lang’s empowering new role explores “modern womanhood, resilience, leadership, and the contrast between public confidence and public vulnerability.”
A release date hasn’t been announced yet. It’s also unclear whether this movie will be available to stream on American platforms. Check back with Soap Hub for more information on Lang’s new Italian role.
