Carla Gugino ("Watchmen," "Sucker Punch") is a revelation! I met her once for Disney's "Race to Witch Mountain," and now, she's shifting gears and entering into the world of porn for the second time in "Elektra Luxx." It's a sequel to "Women in Trouble" from writer/director Sebastian Gutierrez.

In this interview, notice how articulate, and smart, and passionate Gugino is as she talks about:

• The women empowerment theme of the movie
• The idea behind "Elektra Luxx"
• Is there going to be a third film in the series?
• What makes a great filmmaker?
• How does she collaborate with directors?
• How she delved into the world of porn for the movie

Recently retired porn star Elektra Luxx tries to make a straight living by teaching a sex class for housewives in a community center. But things start to get very complicated when a flight attendant with ties to her late rock star boyfriend asks for a favor and a number of additional factors that follow make her face up to all sorts of life choices and revelations.
