VIDEO: ‘The Call’ Stars on Abigail Breslin

In an exclusive behind-the-scenes clip, Halle Berry, Michael Eklund, and Michael Imperiou talk about working with Abigail Breslin on The Call. While Berry seems very impressed with her preparedness and professionalism, Eklund and Imperiou praise her ability to access and express her emotions. This bodes well for everyone’s favorite lake scene in Ender’s Game, which, as book readers will know, hinges on the emotional connection between Valentine and Ender.

The Call is out on DVD and Blu-ray today.

Ender’s Game Cast Watch #1

Since it’s been a pretty slow couple of days, I decided to stalk the Ender’s Game cast’s twitter and facebook accounts in the hopes of turning up some interesting tidbits. And guess what, the kids have been BUSY! Well, all except Asa Butterfield, who has apparently decided to spend the next week or so in front of his computer.

He did, however, hang out with Suraj Partha only a couple of days ago, when Suraj visited London on his trip to Europe. Hailee Steinfeld, on the other hand, stayed in the States to spend some days in Hollywood being honored by Max Mara. And Moises Arias just returned from a week of roughin’ it in Cabo San Lucas.

Jimmy Pinchak was in New Jersey yesterday visiting Jenkinson’s Boardwalk. Meanwhile, Aramis Knight has been busy planning to participate in the “One Child At A Time”-Celebrity Basketball match coming up on June 23.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, she will play a teenage girl whose family is quarantined during a viral epidemic that turns people into monsters.
