Abigail Breslin & Emma Stone: Sitges Sweethearts



Zombieland beauties Abigail Breslin and Emma Stone pull in costar Jesse Eisenberg for a picture at the photocall for their new movie at the 42nd Sitges Film Festival in Barcelona, Spain on Saturday afternoon (October 10).

The darling duo also attended the premiere for Zombieland later that night, looking great in coordinating black-and-white outfits.

Emma, 20, shared her fave parts of the film with Rotten Tomatoes and they’re not what you expect. She shared, “I got to shoot a lot of zombies but my favorite thing was to watch Abigail shooting them. She is way more bad-ass than any 12-year-old I’ve ever met. Needless to say, there were nights that it was incredibly scary and you’re being chased by 30 ravenous extras dressed as zombies.”

Choice of Abigail Breslin to Play Helen Keller Upsets Deaf and Blind Advocates
by Lindsay Robertson · October 30, 2009

On Wednesday, the producers of the Broadway revival of the play "The Miracle Worker," about the early life of blind and deaf hero Helen Keller, announced that they'd chosen the young actress who will play her on stage this winter: 13-year-old Oscar nominee Abigail Breslin. The decision has unleashed immediate complaints from groups representing blind and deaf actors who feel that an actress from their community should have been considered for the role.

Sharon Jensen, executive director of the Alliance for Inclusion in the Arts, told the New York Times "We do not think it's OK for reputable producers to cast this lead role without seriously considering an actress from our community." Jensen recognizes the difficulty Broadway plays are having attracting audiences right now, but says "I understand how difficult it is to capitalize a new production on Broadway, but that to me is not the issue. There are other, larger human and artistic issues at stake here."

For his part, the show's producer, David Richenthal, claims that the production was unable to find a blind or deaf child actor with the star power to bring in enough of an audience to justify the show's large budget, saying "It's simply naïve to think that in this day and age, you'll be able to sell tickets to a play revival solely on the potential of the production to be a great show or on the potential for an unknown actress to give a breakthrough performance," he said. "I would consider it financially irresponsible to approach a major revival without making a serious effort to get a star." The show will, however, be making an effort to find a blind or deaf actress to play Breslin's understudy -- but they won't make any promises.

The original Broadway production of "The Miracle Worker," which focuses on Helen Keller's relationship with Anne Sullivan, the teacher who taught her to communicate, debuted in 1959 with the actress Patty Duke as its star. Later, movie and TV versions of the play starred actresses Duke, Melissa Gilbert, and Mare Winningham in the role of Keller, none of whom were blind or deaf.

I can understand why they are upset. Abigail has the chops to pull it off, but they should have given it to someone from that community. But the producer makes a valid point about Abigail bringing in the star power. It's a tough call. She'll be great in it though, that I have no doubt about!

She is so cute! Hopefully she'll keep her head high above water and not fall to the way side like other child actors have done. But I don't see her doing that.

[Lennie1984]

I also dont see her doing that, she seems so real and mature
