Katherine Heigl reveals that it was the addition of action that drew her to romantic comedy Killers.
The actress teams up with Ashton Kutcher for her new movie, which is directed by Robert Luketic.
Speaking at a press conference to promote the film the actress said: "I’ve obviously been doing a few romantic comedies, and what I loved about this particular romantic comedy was that it had the added element of action, so it was a slightly different take on the formula.
"Although I love the formula and I will continue, hopefully until I’m too old to do them, to do romantic comedies, this just had an energy and this thing that made it unique. I loved being the broad character to Ashton’s straight guy.
"It was really fun to not be the straight guy, for a change, and Ashton made it really fun and easy to do that.
"When I saw the movie, I was very entertained, and that’s hard to do when you’re in it ‘cause that takes you out of it.
"With this movie, I just had such a good time watching it and thought, 'That’s exactly what we were going for. I love it!'"
Killers is Heigl's first movie since The Ugly Truth back in 2009, although she has appeared on the small screen in hit medical drama Grey's Anatomy.
And the actress has a string of projects in the pipeline including Life As We Know It, Escape and Is He the One?
Killers is released 16th June.
