Anna Kendrick: The Midas Touch

The national has a feature on Anna Kendrick and her work in the Twilight Saga movies, Up In The Air, and her early Broadway career. When asked about the Twilight fans and their crazy reputation, Anna said:

“There are a lot more people around that don’t have anything to do with the film,” she says. “The Twilight fans that showed up – they might be very loud at premieres, but on set they are very respectful and the second cameras start rolling they are really quiet and co-operative. It’s interesting. You have to do that theatre thing where you forget that people are there. You don’t get that sense that they are there to be critical, they’re there to be supportive.”

Tyler Shields Video Features Anna Kendrick and Alex Meraz

Tyler Shields who shoots a lot of what could be called proactive art house videos and photos has a new video. This one has some old footage of Alex Meraz coupled in with some new footage of Anna Kendrick. There are also at least 30 vignettes by other rising Hollywood talent.

Tyler’s work is not everyone’s cup of tea. Please be warned that the video is not of a PG-13 nature. It’s sexually suggestive and has images of simulated violence that some may find disturbing.

Anna Kendrick: Travelling Tips and Favorite Locations

Anna Kendrick talks to USA today about her favorite spots on the globe which range from Nebraska to Scotland. She also talks about some of her travel tips, which we totally agree on the shower and bed points that she makes.  The hotel can have all sorts of ambiance, but if the water pressure sucks and the bed is lumpy, it’s all over!

Q: Did you learn anything about traveling while making Up in the Air?

A: I’m getting better about going through security. I’m trying to be better about wearing slip-on shoes and not forgetting to take my laptop out of my suitcase. Traveling makes me a little nervous, because the actual act of being in an airport means you’re completely at the mercy of other people.

Q: What’s the sexiest place you’ve ever visited?

A: I thought Omaha, Neb., was pretty sexy. I swear to God. Conor Oberst (of Mystic Valley Band fame) came out of there, and where we were staying was near all these record shops and used T-shirt shops. They all had this kind of rock ‘n’ roll vibe. It was like every person walking down the street was going to be the next big thing. I’ve got a real thing for kind of rebellious, music-looking guys.

Q: Where have you been recently, and what did you like about it?

A: I went to London to do some press. They don’t have a lot of foods that I’m used to having available at all times, but I did enjoy sticky toffee pudding, shepherd’s pie and black pudding for the first time. Even though (the British) don’t have a reputation for having the best food in the world, I definitely went on quite a binge.
