And then of course my other friend Chris just started going on about how cool that is, and some girl asked if she could call him Anakin, and there was much awkwardness.

I feel for you.

Oh good, I'm relieved. I was feeling guilty too, but like you said it is a pretty big coincidence. I mean, there's nothing wrong with him wanting to help her out, but I think that if it was me I'd want to get the parts on my own.

But then again its not me, and if I was in that position I might not act like I think I would. You never know.

Exactly. I've also noticed though, that producers/directors/whoever it is like to put real life couples together on-screen. Maybe for more publicity? But then, maybe I'm totally reading it all wrong and it's not the producers at all, maybe it is one person asking for the other. Ok, that so did not help because I just went round in a circle.

Maybe they think that real life couples will have better chemistry? I had always thought that actors avoided working with their significant others because if you break up than there is always that movie around to remind you. But then again that was just something I heard one celebrity say, and I don't even remember who it was

. But I guess it's not true, because Keira Knightley and Rupert Friend work together all the time. It could go either way, like you said. We'll never know.

Whos Rupert Friend?

That must have been so awkward, I wouldnt wanna introduce myself if I were him!

I like Rachel too but this is a huge movie with a load of amazing actors and I feel like she doesnt fit in, lets hope Im proven wrong.

I know, it was ridiculous.

Meh, I'm kind of indifferent to her. I've only ever seen her in Jumper, and as I said before I didn't like her character so I don't trust myself to form an honest opinion just yet.

Keira's boyfriend. He was the British greedy bad guy in PotC 2 and 3, and he played in Pride and Prejudice (I want to say his character was Mr. Cullens).

Don't be embarassed, it's not your fault that you're just SO old.

back at you.
I am only 26

Quote:

On another note, and I really don't mean to be rude because she's a good actress, but do you guys think that Rachel keeps getting movie parts with Hayden because he's asking for her or something and the producers are trying to appease him?

Well who knows how she got the NY,ILY part.
And it's only been this movie after Jumper that they have done together.
If they do the next one and the next one then I'll be like yea, he's getting her parts.

Quote:

You know, I actually think that the first thing he ever said to me had to do with his movies. He hung out with my friend Ryuhei a lot, and when Ryuhei introduced us he was all "I hear you like Star Wars, I was Anakin in the Phantom Menace." It was crazy.

What Shevy said. "Duh, we know that."

Weird

I think I knew that.

You're probably right, it's may be too early to say this.

And yeah, the whole Jake thing was just a great pile of awkwardness. On the one hand I felt bad because people treated him differently, but on the other he brought it to everyone's attention

. Not too mention he was rude about it. I asked him about Ewan McGregor once (I'm a big fan) and from then on whenever I mentioned him and Jake was within earshot he would roll his eyes. Oh well.

Ugh. How annoying.

What did he say about Ewan? Good things I hope.

FreedomsBullets · 04-27-2008, 06:35 PM

Meh, not much. He said he was nice and then acted all put out about it.

That's...odd.

But anyway, does anyone actually know when NY,ILY comes out?

FreedomsBullets · 04-28-2008, 04:57 PM

It's supposed to come out this year, but I'm not sure about month or day.

**BehrItAll** · 04-28-2008, 06:45 PM

I hope this year.

I heard they are still looking for a distributer.

Shevy · 04-29-2008, 03:17 AM

They shouldn't have much trouble with that high-profile cast list.

FreedomsBullets · 04-29-2008, 06:37 PM

One wouldn't think, but I guess you never know.

**BehrItAll** · 04-29-2008, 08:25 PM

It has happened before.

But I have a good feeling about this one.

FreedomsBullets · 04-29-2008, 10:35 PM

Well it's kind of a sequel to Paris, je t'aime which was pretty popular.

That works in its favor.
