Get ready to see Naya Rivera like you've never seen her before!

The gorgeous Glee star is taking her first step into the big screen spotlight with her debut film, At the Devil' Door—and ETonline has your exclusive behind-the-scenes sneak peek!

Step aside Santana Lopez, Rivera has found a new dynamic character to play. "I came from a television background primarily and I've played Santana for like four years now, and so creatively I was really hungry to do something else and do something different," the 27-year-old starlet spilled in our first look video above.

So what was it about her new character, Vera, that drew Rivera to the role? "Well I've never done a movie before and this script came along and I read it and I felt like the character was strong," the actress, who recently tied the knot in a surprise ceremony, explained.

"Vera really appealed to me because she is so different from Santana, and from the way the two of them look—that was the biggest change," she dished. "Santana is always very prissy and well put together and Vera is artistic and not really into hair and make-up and I thought that would be interesting for people to see me in a different light. She's very vulnerable, which I liked because I don’t get to play a lot of that on Glee."
