After 10 years in prison, Driver (Dwayne Johnson) has a singular focus - to avenge the murder of his brother during the botched bank robbery that led to his imprisonment.  Now a free man with a deadly to-do list in hand, he’s finally on his mission…but with two men on his trail – a veteran cop (Billy Bob Thornton) just days from retirement, and a young egocentric hitman (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) with a flair for the art of killing and a newfound worthy opponent.  The hunter is also the hunted. It’s a do or die race to the list’s finish as the mystery surrounding his brother’s murder deepens, and new details emerge along the way hinting that Driver’s list may be incomplete.

Director Edgar Wright turned the zombie-genre on its head with the cult hit Shaun of the Dead and then the police buddy comedy in Hot Fuzz.  In his latest feature film, Edgar Wright tackles a comic book adaptation blending different genres in SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD starring Superbad's Michael Cera, Twilight's Anna Kendrick and Fantastic Four's Chris Evans. 

Meet charming and jobless Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera). A bass guitarist for garage band Sex Bob-omb, the 22-year-old has just met the girl of his dreams...literally. The only catch to winning Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead)? Her seven evil exes are coming to kill him.

Genre-smashing filmmaker Edgar Wright tells the amazing story of one romantic slacker’s quest to power up with love in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Scott Pilgrim has never had a problem getting a girlfriend. It’s getting rid of them that proves difficult. From the girl who kicked his heart’s ass—and now is back in town—to the teenage distraction he’s trying to shake when Ramona rollerblades into his world, love hasn’t been easy. He soon discovers, however, his new crush has the most unusual baggage of all: a nefarious league of exes controls her love life and will do whatever it takes to eliminate him as a suitor. As Scott gets closer to Ramona, he must face an increasingly vicious rogues’ gallery from her past—from infamous skateboarders to vegan rock stars and fearsome identical twins. And if he hopes to win his true love, he must vanquish them all before it really is game over.

Megan Fox and Josh Brollin Interview

JOSH: However Megan was perceived, I liked the idea of giving somebody - even though this is a kind of an absurd ridiculous escapist film - the opportunity like someone gave me in saying "hey we can go a little further with the acting here.  Even though we made it fun, Megan did a lot of different takes where she's crying, not crying. There some of a dialect there and bucolic dialect.  But when I read some of these articles that she had done and was kind of acerbic and rebellious she could be - I wanted to see how real that was.  
 
Nobody can handle that kind of fame that fast at 22 years old and I thought she was handling it really well. I just wanted to see she was the real deal.  I wanted to see if she could go head to head with John and hold her own.  There's definitely a truck driver mentality there. 

MEGAN: I think it's wonderful what they're saying it and I'm humbled by their comments.
People who are famous and make it to this level of fame for whatever reason whether it'd deserved or not - you have to be a strong person to survive it because it is very difficult to be under the microscope every moment of every day.  Everything that leaves your mouth becomes this sensationalized newstory no matter what your intentions were when you said it. It becomes overwhelming but am I that rebellious?  Of course I think there are many sides to me who I am in my personality. The only thing that is rebellious about me is that I don't really have any fears as far as this industry is concerned that maybe other people are afraid to do or say.  In my personal life, I am actually very responsible with my personal relationships and things like that. 

JOSH:  Rebellion could be holding on to your own integrity of not playing into the idea of this sensationalizing.  We all have our moments.  and that's your guy's job to take those moments and turgid - gaseous and make it big.  It's bigger than the person is.  And when you start believing your own press that's when it gets really sad. But that's part of the rebellion that I responded because she is still her.  She's still very grounded.

INTERVIEW: Robert Pattinson Not A Twilight Fan?

INTERVIEW: Kristen Stewart On Marriage & Her Vote For Best Kiss

The actor who got his first big break playing Cedric Diggory in another popular novel turned movie, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) mentioned at a recent press conference in Beverly Hills that he hadn't seen the first TWILIGHT movie aside from when he did the DVD commentary with Kristen Stewart and director Catherine Hardwicke.   "I just saw Twilight on t.v. for the first time a few days ago." according to the actor. 

Watch TWILIGHT: ECLIPSE trailer

Robert Pattinson isn't the only actor who prefers not to see themselves on the big screen. Johnny Depp has said many times that he doesn't watch any of his movies.  Robert threw out that tidbit about himself when answering a question about why ECLIPSE is the most accessible film so far.   Robert admitted that after watching the first movie in the TWILIGHT SAGA, he could see the movie wasn't for everyone.  "Now that I've seen it, you kinda do need to read the book to really get it."

The popularity of the TWILIGHT SAGA hasn't inspired Kristen Stewart's rumored boyfriend to delve into Edward Cullen and Bella's future in BREAKING DAWN, the last novel in Stephenie Meyer's TWILIGHT SAGA.  "I'm quite glad I haven't read it yet.  I just heard some brief rumors about what happens in the story but I don't really know what happens at all."

While some may find it surprising that Robert isn't curious about Edward and Bella's fate, the British actor might have his own strategy up his sleeve (method acting?).  After all, wouldn't we be questioning his sexuality if he did admit to being a fan of the books so popular with teen girls and their mothers?

Or perhaps the busy actor is too busy going from one production (Bel Ami) to another (Water for Elephants) to receive updates on the TWILIGHT SAGA movies that made him famous.  This may have contributed to being the last one to know about the Breaking Dawn novel being split into two films.  "I found out about Breaking Dawn being two films when the press release came out.  I haven't asked anyone about it yet."

Robert's leading lady Kristen Stewart, on the other hand, knew about the Breaking Dawn breakdown for quite some time.  "I had to hold on to this forever.  We all definitely knew it would be two movies forever now.  It was really hard not to say that it's been confirmed" said Stewart. 

Kristen's admission brings into question whether the on-screen duo are really dating off-screen if they weren't on the same page about Breaking Dawn but then again Robert might suffer from memory loss or selective hearing that plague many mortal men.  

While the dating rumors remain a mystery, one sure thing can be said of Robert Pattinson, fans will still pine away for Edward Cullen regardless if he's a fan of the TWILIGHT saga or not.  

TWILIGHT: ECLIPSE is in movie theaters June 30th.

Nicolas Cage Compares Jay Baruchel To Bogart and Nicholson

Last Updated: Tuesday, 12 November 2013 05:47

Actor Jay Baruchel is gaining new fans with his recent hits - How To Train Your Dragon and She's Out of My League including veteran actor Nicolas Cage. Nicolas Cage stars in THE SORCERER'S APPRENTICE as a sorcerer training his new apprentice played by Jay Baruchel but in real life, the young actor needed no coaching from the Oscar winner. 

MOVIE TRAILER: The Sorcerer's Apprentice

Jay Baruchel began his career with Judd Apatow's tv series Undeclared and in numerous television guest appearances on Numb3rs, Just Legal and The Rules of Attraction before he moved to the big screen in a small role for Clint Eastwood's Million Dollar Baby (2004).  It was his role in Judd Apatow's Knocked Up starring Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl that finally got the young actor attention.  2010 proved to be Jay's year as he transitioned into leading man status with three major Hollywood movies including the break out hit How To Train Your Dragon which he voiced the lead role of Hiccup.

Nicholas Cage, a fan of Jay's performance in How To Train Your Dragon, praised his young co-star's ability to improvise and "jazz style" acting during a recent press event in Beverly Hills. "He, in my opinion, subscribes to jazz style acting.  He's not afraid to go off the page, improvise and throw something at you.  I can riff with him and some accidents happen where you get to a more real truth."

Listen To Interview Above

Nicolas Cage also compared the 28 year-old Canadian actor's distinctive voice to Cage's acting heroes.  "I've always believed that the greatest actors are the ones with the voices that are imitable.  My heroes are like Bogart, Eastwood, Cagney, Edward G. Robinson, Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson.  Well Jay's got a voice. That's hard to have." 

The Leaving Las Vegas star knows a thing or two about "imitable" voices since Nicolas Cage's own unique voice made him a break out star in memorable roles in Valley Girl, Moonstruck, and Joel and Ethan Coen's Raising Arizona.

Jay Baruchel in turn was flattered by Cage's comments and in awe of working with one of his childhood idols.  

"When you work with somebody who's close to hero status for you... it'll either make you wilt in the presence of greatness and you lose it all or I better bring my A game." 

Jay not only played an apprentice to Nicolas' sorcerer character but he took on the role of student when the cameras weren't rolling. 

"I got to show up on set everyday and have conversations with this guy who I've watched since I was a little kid.   I didn't want to blow it.  It just made me want to work as hard as I possibly could to be as good as he is."

 Nicolas Cage further added that Jay Baruchel's talent will take him far.  "He's going to be around forever."  If Jay is taking cues from his co-star in terms of navigating through Hollywood, then Nicolas Cage's prediction may be right.

THE SORCERER'S APPRENTICE is in theaters July 14.
