Jamie Lee Curtis winning Oscar speech in full
Scream Queen Jamie Lee Curtis is sticking with the horror genre for her latest enterprise which she debuted at San Diego Comic-Con.
On Friday, the Oscar-winning actress appeared at the event to showcase her upcoming horror graphic novel Mother Nature.
The 64-year-old movie legend delighted the packed crowd as she explained how her husband – 75-year-old English actor and director Christopher Guest – had encouraged her to pursue her ambitions for the story.
Admitting that the environmentally themed tome, which was co-written with Russell Goldman, while Karl Stevens illustrated, is dark she told the audience: “Of course, I had some gruesome deaths because I have a very dark mind.”
Explaining that the themes feel more timely than ever, she said: “We’re f****** the world!
“We need to do better. There is a possibility of change, but we are going to have to do it,” she declared according to Entertainment Weekly.

Her appearance came in the midst of the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike. SAG-AFTRA has prohibited its members from promoting its film and TV projects.
Jamie, who’s been an avid supporter of the writers, was only allowed to attend because she was deemed a comic book author.
Following the panel she took to her Instagram page and shared her support for the strikers with her 5.4 million follower posting a photo of the union logo.
“What a thrilling day! @sdcomic_con @titancomics @karlstevensart @russell_goldman @sagaftra,’ she wrote in the caption.
She later gave her fans and followers a more in depth look at the illustrations in the book by sifting through the pages in a video she posted.
