November 10, 2010 by

Denzel Washington stars in "Unstoppable," about a runaway train carrying a cargo of toxic chemicals. The film, directed by Tony Scott and also starring Chris Pine, is being released by Twentieth Century Fox on November 12.

I must be insane,” Washington laughs, trying to explain why on earth he agreed to run across the top of a moving train for one of the film’s many action set pieces.  “The train is going down the track at 50 miles an hour, I’m running across the top, a helicopter is hovering ten feet above me, I’m hanging off the side; it’s crazy!  I was very happy when my stuntman left town because I knew Tony wouldn’t be asking me to do his job anymore,” he jokes.

Unstoppable: Interview with actor Chris Pine

November 10, 2010 by

Chris Pine stars in "Unstoppable," about a runaway train carrying a cargo of toxic chemicals. The film, directed by Tony Scott and also starring Denzel Washington, is being released by Twentieth Century Fox on November 12.

“When you read a script, you forget that you actually have to do what’s written on the page,” says Pine.  “Whether that means that every scene you’re in takes place in the cab of a train, or whether your character jumps from the back of a truck driving 50 miles an hour onto a train that’s going even faster.”

Black Swan: Interview with star Natalie Portman

November 4, 2010 by

Natalie Portman stars in "Black Swan," directed by Darren Aronofsky.  The film is being released by Fox Searchlight December 3.

 

I loved the authenticity of all these very real dance world details in the screenplay, and I especially loved how Nina’s story parallels ‘Swan Lake.’  I saw her as someone really trying to break free of a spell – trying to break free of everyone else defining who she is and trying to see through all of it who she really is as a person and an artist–Natalie Portman
