The Lucky One hits UK cinemas May 2nd and our friend James Kleinmann got to chat with the star of the movie, Zac Efron while he was here in the London for the UK junket. During the interview, James asks Zac if this is his most challenging role or rewarding role to date, how the scenes in the movie are extremely difficult to watch on screen and what it was like to shoot a movie simulating a war-zone. We also find out if Zac would like to do a war movie rather than a romantic comedy with war elements.
We also find out how they simulated an Ied on set to create the effects of a road-side explosion. The interview is fabulous and gives us a real insight in to the movie-making process. Efron talks about meeting real-life marines and how he got into the character and what it was like to raid a house!

Today is the first of our interviews from the latest movie to be based on a Nicholas Sparks novel this time called The Lucky One. We have interviews coming up next week with Taylor Shilling and Zac Efron but first up we get to hear from the Captain of the ship, Director Scott Hicks.
Our friend James Kleinmann conducts the interview where he talks to Hicks about how he first got involved in the movie, how the reality of the characters were achieved (a lot of it came from YouTube), why Zac Efron was the best man for the job in the lead role as Logan and how Hicks was involved in the screen writing process since he’s been nominated previously for his work on 1997 movie Shine. The interview is nearly 10 minutes long and is a really fascinating piece which I know you’ll love so scroll down and click play.

Re-Kill Clip. Valeri Milev‘s Re-Kill (2011) 6-Minute movie clip stars Roger R. Cross and Layke Anderson. Re-Kill‘s plot synopsis: “It’s been 5 years since the outbreak that wiped out 85% of the world’s population, but the war between Re-Animates (Re-Ans) and Humans wages on. Most of the major cities are still uninhabitable. Within the few surviving cities, the Re-Ans have been segregated into “zones” and are policed by the R-Division of the Quasi S.W.A.T. Unit who hunt to re-kill the Re-Ans in the hope of quelling a second outbreak.”
I didn’t pay much attention to this horror movie until I saw this extended movie clip for the film. Not bad.
More on what’s seen in the movie clip:
“R-Division, Frontline” is America’s #1 TV show in this Post-Apocalyptic world. Weekly, the show follows different R-Division units on the battlefield as they work to keep America Safe and Re-An free.

Chris Haberman: You shot entirely in Louisiana - How did the shoot go?
Jason Connery: “It was great. It’s obviously slightly strange to shoot a film that’s [set] in the desert in a swamp, but a lot of the work was interior and we shot in a disused mattress factory, which actually had a huge warehouse. So we had an exterior in the back, which looked like a military air base.”
Ch: I spoke with [51 actress] Rachel Miner, who was impressed with how much you were able to do and so quickly.
Jc: “The thing is, the first film I shot, I had 12 days to shoot it.

SyFy and After Dark are making quite the team. They premiered Husk, which was met with great success. So I guess they figured they’d keep showing the After Dark flicks on their Saturday Night premieres. They are a great substitute for the SyFy pictures originals that deal with the combining of two animals into one. The latest one is 51, which is set to premiere on the network this Saturday, February 26th....
