I attended the screening for this on Tuesday but I can’t tell you what I thought until nearer the release date, Momentum/Paramount will send their Ninja Monkey’s to take me out if I do. (Believe me, they have Ninja Monkey’s that can fly and run up walls). Check out the trailer in the mean time!
Fall in love with Channing Tatum (Step-Up, GI Joe) in this year’s most romantic tear jerker Dear John. It’s love at first sight for John (Tatum) and college student Savannah (Mamma Mia’s Amanda Seyfried) when they meet by chance on the beach during a summer holiday. But their romance is threatened as the holiday ends, Savannah has to go back to college and John must return to life in the army and all that his duty entails. Brought together by love, will fate tear them apart?
Below is my interview with Amanda Seyfried for the film ‘Chloe’ which is Directed by Atom Egoyan (great name) and also stars Liam Neeson (all around legend) and Julianne Moore (red head legend). Amanda plays the titular character an irresistible and alluring young woman who Julianne Moore’s character Catherine hires to see if her suspicions of her husbands (Liam Neeson) infidelity is in fact reality. Chloe’s seductive behaviour begins to obsess Catherine and events take an unpredictable turn with potentially fatal consequences for her family. Amongst a great cast Amanda’s performance was definitely the highlight of the film for me. Check out my interview with Julianne Moore here
What got you interested in the film?
Amanda Seyfried: Well I’m gonna say the challenge because I’m pretty young in my career and I haven’t had many opportunity’s to spread my wings, this is a pretty extraordinary role that I couldn’t resist. I couldn’t resist the challenge. Also working with Atom (director) was another selling point.
Did you find it difficult to relate to someone quite different to yourself?
Amanda Seyfried:Yeah, its funny because at first it was very hard to relate to her until I started taking in and absorbing what Atom was describing to me, we spoke at great lengths about Chloe and how she was dealing with different moments in film, it was so extensive. I felt overwhelmed at times with all the information, but I was able to absorb it all to a point I could really connect to her and fall in love with her, I really did like her. It was challenging, this character is so inconsistent throughout the movie it’s almost like I’m playing so many different characters in one, it was great playing that.
What was it like working with Julianne?
Amanda Seyfried: Working with Julianne was amazing, I’ve had the fortune to work with a few ridiculously talented actresses who’s work I have seen and obviously it doesn’t feel real sometimes. I learnt a lot though, she was great. It was the first time I’ve worked on a film working with someone like Julianne and I was really respected, I was treated like a pear, it was the first time, it was the best feeling in the world to feel like a equal.
How did you find doing the more intimate scenes?
Amanda Seyfried: It’s very technical when you have to do something physically intimate, so that’s what it was, Atom showed us exactly what he had in mind to make it as easy as possible and we just laughed, there were a lot of jokes (laughs).
