Love Ranch: Interview With Oscar-Winner Helen Mirren

Helen Mirren stars in "Love Ranch," directed by her husband-director Taylor Hackford (Ray). The film is released by E1 Entertainment on June 30.

“It was a rather beautifully written character which was why I wanted to play her,” recalls Helen Mirren, who won the 2006 Best Actress Oscar for "The Queen," about her reaction to the role of Grace on first reading. “She’s very tough at the beginning, very harsh and cynical,” she continues, “and in the process of the film she kind of reawakens. She re-finds her humanity in a way.”

Twilight Saga: Eclipse–Interview with Director David Slade

David Slade is the director of "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse," starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner. The film will be released June 30 by Summit Entertainment.

“What attracted me to this project was that it is a great story and a tremendous challenge for me as a filmmaker. I don’t like doing the same thing over and over again, because I learn from being challenged. On one level this was the biggest challenge out there – to make a film of this scope, in this amount of time, and to go into a different genre essentially. Yes, I've done a vampire film, but Eclipse is a very different kind of thing. This is a romantic story, which swings from a darker more abject feeling to very pure romantic scenes. To do very emotional scenes was a huge challenge and fun and a way to grow.

How did you come across this particular assignment – what brought you there? 

 

Sebastian: We were on assignment for Vanity Fair and ABC News. After an embed with Battle Company in 2005, I’d had the idea of following one platoon for an entire deployment and both writing a book and making a documentary about their experience.
