Jason Sudeikis on Team Bella

June 3, 2011

E! asked Jason Sudeikis how much Twilight prep work he did for the MTV Movie Awards. Jason revealed that he is on Team Bella and more.

So how many Twilight jokes have you prepared?
We’re whittling it down from about 4,000.

Did you have to study up on things like Harry Potter and Twilight for the show?
I knew a little bit more about Harry Potter, having read some of the books and seen a couple of the movies. As for Twilight, having a lot of younger cousins, I’m quite familiar with it, and because Taylor Lautner hosted SNL…But as for the minutia of it, I had to dig in a little deeper.

So you read the books?
No, I didn’t go that far. I figured it would help me to host the MTV Movie Awards by not reading anything. It’s all about watching and listening with no reading whatsoever.

Chaske Spencer Talks to Ology About Kristen Stewart, The Fitness Campaign and More

June 3, 2011

Ology talked to Chaske Spencer about the new campaign he joined sponsored by The White House and Michelle Obama called “Let’s Move! in Indian Country”, his charity work, the end of Twilight, Kristen Stewart and the media and more.

“You’ve stuck up for Kristen Stewart in interviews before. Why do you think the media is so hard on her?

I don’t know why. People need to back off her. She’s really a nice girl. I just don’t think she’s into the whole game. I kind of feel that way too in the sense that, “Why do I have to keep selling myself to the media to watch a movie? Why can’t you just look at the work?” I think she does that and she’s a really nice person. If you sit down and have coffee with her or chill out with her one-on-one or in a group, she’s really a cool person. I tip my hat to her for not catering to the media. Because in the end, we’re just actors. We like to work. We like to be other people. That’s what we do. We’re not celebrities. That’s the thing. I don’t think she wants to be a celebrity. She’s not a reality show star. She’s just a person who wants to work as an actress. People need to back off from her.

Right.

That’s how today’s culture [is]. We’re surrounded by people who just want to know who you’re dating and your personal life, and it’s different nowadays then it was back maybe 15 years ago, almost 20 years ago. You were able to have a private life, do your work and people [could] judge you on that. I remember I didn’t know sh*t about Sean Penn. I just knew he was a great actor. You didn’t know about his personal life too much. Same thing with Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer. But nowadays, it’s like you have to sell a part of your soul to launch a movie. I don’t like that part. I’m really trying hard not to do it. But somedays, you just have to play the game and that just sucks.”

Collider Talks “Beautiful Boy” with Michael Sheen

June 2, 2011

Collider has a quite in depth interview with Michael Sheen about his upcoming film “Beautiful Boy.”  The story revolves around the tragedy of a family losing their son and how it changes them  Sheen speaks very candidly about the the process he went through in tapping into those difficult emotions.

Sheen said, “If you draw on your own experiences, certainly when it comes to being a parent, and you have to imagine your child dying, the danger is that you’ll get to the end of the day and go, “It’s not working for me anymore. I’m thinking about the death of my own child, and that’s not really doing it because I’ve gotten too used to thinking about it.” There’s a cost to that, as a person, to have to imagine the death of your own child. That’s not an area you really want to go into. And yet, at the same time, you’ve got to deal with it because otherwise it’s just acting and then it’s meaningless.”

He also speaks very briefly about his approach to Aro in Breaking Dawn part 1 and 2.

Said Sheen,”Well, what I love about that character is that I think he’s totally insane. Immortality – living forever – has driven him completely insane, or certainly into an area of sanity that is not really accessible to most people, and yet, part of his insanity is that he thinks that he’s a sentimental, little old lady. He thinks he’s this cuddly grandmother, somehow.”

Countdown to the Breaking Dawn Teaser & We Want Your Reactions

June 1, 2011

This Sunday’s MTV Movie Awards will be the first time for any of us to see the Breaking Dawn:Part 1 teaser. A teaser is essentially a trailer, just a short version. Going back in time the biggest wow factor for a Twilight Saga teaser had to be at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards where the New Moon teaser debuted. Seeing Taylor Lautner explode into wolf form in the last seconds was epic when it comes to that “wow factor” you want in a teaser.

So what do you think the Breaking Dawn:part 1 teaser should have to give it that “wow factor”? Are we talking wedding, honeymoon, baby bump? What do you think should be in your ultimate montage?

Also, we want your reactions! Set up a flip camera, web cam, whatever and record your Breaking Dawn:part 1 trailer reactions. Then upload it to a service like YouTube and send us the link at [email protected]. We’ll run the best ones after the trailer airs.
