While we eagerly await for some kind soul to upload videos from the AFI roundtable from last Friday, the most interested in the topics discussed, more than the cuteness displayed, will certainly dig this article.
I cut out some quotes from miss Wood to make your reading easier. You're welcome :P
And check the video after the cut too!
- Wood revealed that, like most fellow fourteen year olds, she was a fan of Clueless and while she was filming Thirteen, Jeremy Sisto (who had played Elton in Clueless) drove her home and all she could think was how cool it was to have Elton driving her home, just like he did with Cher (Alicia Silverstone) in the film (but without Sisto abandoning her in the Valley at the end of their ride).
- (With Wood whole-heartedly agreeing) Yelchin had a very specific view of Hollywood thanks to a trip to a “restaurant/arcade/sex shop” with his uncle near the Knickerbocker hotel when he was five and witnessed a group of punk kids walk up to someone’s table and take a bite out of their cupcake.
- Wood confirmed that with Woody Allen, it is all about the casting and was terrified her first day of shootingWhatever Works because Allen was known for firing actors on the first day if it did not feel like it was working. (Luckily for Wood, Allen stood by his casting choice)
- Wood agreed that to be an actor, you have to be fearless otherwise you will regret a performance where you held something back. All four admitted that although it can be intimidating to work with well-known names, it is really a moment to shine and work with high caliber artists and the key is to remember that and take in that moment.
- With award season starting to gear up again, the panel was asked how taxing it is to go through the awards circuit (as Hammer did last year with the success of The Social Network). Wood said if you care about what you created and worked so hard on (yes – there was a brief pause as Wood cracked herself up over inadvertently saying “hard on”), you will want to spend time talking about it.
- Wood spoke briefly about the differences between television and movies (having acted in HBO’sTrue Blood and Mildred Pierce), noting that television shoots much quicker than a movie, but that accelerated pace helps to keep the energy high.
- Wood and Dunst agreed that any time you are immersed in a scene and you experience a true moment with another actor, those are the moments that drive them to chase down that experience again and again.
