- Okay, NOW we know what Kevin is doing on Comedy Central on the 7th! They’re showing Dogma, and Kevin will be hosting the broadcast to talk about that film, as well as, of course, Jersey Girl. Don’t miss it. Our families and friends still crack up and call us every time they flip around the dial and catch us walking through that airport scene.
- Just when it seems like he might be out of ’em, Antony Teofilo surprises us with another of those fantastic interviews, perhaps the biggest yet, with film star Liv Tyler! Here’s a bit of it, but we of course recommend you check out the whole thing over at the ‘Shoot, the link follows this clip:
LT: I’m very excited, and was very flattered that Kevin wanted me to be a part of it. I’ve been enjoying working with Kevin, particularly because he’s such a great writer. You keep discovering things, and it continues to be fresh and interesting as you perform. He’s very natural, and he writes things in a way people actually speak, so it’s great to be able to speak those words.
AT: Can you tell me a little bit about the rehearsal process? I’ve heard Kevin’s a stickler when it comes to rehearsal…
LT: [Smiles] I had to skip out of the rehearsal process. I was in London doing post-production work on LOTR. I just had to come and work right away on my first day.
AT: You’re crossing from THE LORD OF THE RINGS, which has a huge fan base that borders sometimes on near-religious fanaticism…
LT: Not unlike Kevin’s world…[Laughs]
AT: That’s sort of what I was getting at. What’s it like to be at the center of that kind of a loyal, or some would say rabid, community of fans? Is it intimidating? Do you ever regret being part of something that’s such a juggernaut, like LOTR?
LT: There was lots of weird stuff on the internet before the movie came out. I went and looked at one of the websites, and I was so bummed out because they were saying things that were really mean about me.
AT: Like what?
LT: Well, they weren’t anything to do with the movie, they were like personal attacks, like I was the spoiled daughter of a rock star, that I was too Hollywood to play Arwen. Anyone who knows me well can tell you that I’m far from a spoiled daughter of a rock star…I didn’t actually know who my dad was until I was an older kid. I didn’t have a very easy upbringing…but then when the movie came out the criticism sort of died down. Then I realized that the fans are quite picky about everything…there wasn’t really a time where they picked on me any more than anyone else.
Run, don’t walk…To the full interview at Movie Poop Shoot!
- And finally today, adding to the fray, US Magazine gives us their take (and some photos) of that now famous deleted wedding sequence from Jersey Girl. Click the scan above for a closer look. We’ll see ya back here real soon!
