"Emilie de Ravin took the stage at today's TCAs in Pasadena where she answered questions with all her Lost castmates before their last season starts Feb. 2. After the panels, we snuck in one question about, who else, Robert Pattinson, who she worked with on the upcoming Remember Me. It's one of the movie's we're most looking forward to this year, especially after the latest hot poster and here's what she had to say. On working with Rob on Remember Me vs. her Lost leading men: Robert Pattinson plays Tyler in "Remember me".
Every experience with whoever you work with is always different. I had a great time working with him. We really made a point of working on our characters and their relationships and such. He's a really easy going and nice guy to work with, which is always refreshing.Love hearing her gush a little bit about Rob, who has been quite successfully laying low since his and Kristen's New Year's fan encounter".

"Twilight's Ashley Greene is stunning in her sexy Sports Illustrated photo shoot for SoBe, but we know that her fans want to know about Alice Cullen and what's next for the vampire beauty and if we might see her in a love scene anytime soon. "There's a bit of one," Ashley began when asked about a love scene for her character, but she quickly stopped giving any more details, not even which movie the love scene may be in. "There's a bit of one," Ashley began when asked about a love scene for her character, but she quickly stopped giving any more details, not even which movie the love scene may be in."Oh gross!" Ashley joked when asked if she and the oh-so-handsome Rob Pattinson would ever have a love scene together. "I think out of anyone the connection that Alice and Edward have because of their extra abilities that would be weird." Source: www.radaronline.com

Oscar-winner Ben Kingsley is believed to be in the cast, although the producers would not confirm it.The Ottawa train station will figure prominently in the movie and was largely chosen because the architecture of the building has a "modern, futuristic" look to it. A production crew totalling more than 150 people may come to the city for at least four days of shooting in late March.It's believed this is the first time a movie of this scale has been filmed at the Tremblay Road station.The film will be shot mostly in Montreal, starting in early March. It is among a number of outside productions expected to revitalize the struggling film industry in Montreal. As well, it may help revive production in Ottawa, which also suffered in 2009".

Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart in "Adventureland" (2009).
"In 2009, writer and director Greg Mottola’s (“Superbad”, “Arrested Development” and “Undeclared”) film “Adventureland” was released in theaters and for the most part, received positive reviews from the film critics. Now the film receives its High Definition treatment via Blu-ray (which includes a digital copy) and also a DVD release.The film takes place in the 80’s and revolves around James Brennan (Jesse Eisenberg, “The Village” and “Solitary Man”), a Comparative Literature major who graduated from Oberlin College and plans to pursue his undergraduate degree at Columbia University but first, celebrate his graduation by taking advantage of his family’s gift to send him to Europe over the summer.VIDEO & AUDIO: “Adventureland” is presented in 1080p High Definition (1:85:1) and cinematographer Terry Stacey (“Sex and the City”, “P.S. I Love You” and “Wanderlust” does a good job in bringing the look of the 1980’s to film. One thing that people will notice is the amount of grain on the film. For those who love the film look, the film definitely retains its grain and shows no sign of DNR (Digital Noise Reduction).SPECIAL FEATURES: Deleted Scenes – (2:27) Deleted scenes featuring: Drunk Mom , Angry Grandfather, James Keeps Quiet. With optional audio commentary by writer and director Greg MottolaAudio Commentary – Writer/director Greg Mottola and actor Jesse Eisenberg talk about film. Mottola sets up the scene but for the most part the commentary often features the two joking around while doing commentary. Interesting comments on the number of songs licensed for the film and the challenges Mottola faced when their budget was low but need a song for the ending credits.Just My Life: The Making Of Adventureland – (16:31) Director and writer Greg Mottola sits down to reveal how his real life experiences helped inspire his unique comic vision for Daytrippers, Superbad, Arrested Development and now Adventureland. Cast members Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart, Ryan Reynolds, Bill Hader, and Martin Starr also talk candidly about what shaped them into who they are today, including the worst job they ever had.Lisa P’s Guide To Style – (2:08) Ms. “Rides, Rides, Rides” herself, Lisa P (Margarita Levieva), shares her totally hip, totally ‘80s fashion advice from spiral locks to neon pink nail polish.Welcome to Adventureland – Fans can learn all there is to know about the Adventureland theme park with a pair commercials promoting Fun-tastic Time at Adventure Land (:33 ) and another for fireworks at Adventureland (:42), the employee orientation kit (3:34) hosted by Joel and a peek at the official drug policy (:44).EASTER EGG: I also found an Easter Egg for the Blu-ray version. Move left on your remote while “Bonus Features” is highlighted and you will see panda bear. Click on the panda bear to access a Kristen Stewart trying to get into the Razzmatazz dance club. (1:24) For those who are interested in “Adventureland”, one may think that Director Mottola is back with another “SuperBad” style of movie but I just want to emphasize that although “Adventureland” does have many humorous elements and the fact that there is a lot of scenes with the characters smoking weed, “Adventureland” is very much a love story. Call it a genuine romantic comedy.As for the main talent, Jesse Eisenberg was just perfect as James Brennan. Eisenberg does a great job portraying the awkward Brennan and how he grows as a person throughout the summer. Kristen Stewart also is a natural in playing the role of Em and bringing that sense that she’s a troubled teen and showing us that she has more to offer outside of her popular role in “Twilight” (note: Stewart filmed “Adventureland” before filming “Twilight” but the latter came out in theaters first).As for Ryan Reynolds, his character as Mike Connell is a bit hard to read at first but you eventually see his true colors as the film progresses. I sort of look at him as a man stuck within his former self of what he could have been but now thrives on being popular to those at the theme park and those people making him out better than he truly is.As for the music, “Adventureland” is a film that showcases popular 80’s music such as Falco’s “Amadeus”, David Bowie’s “Modern Love”, The Cure’s “Just Like Heaven”, The Outfield’s “Your Love”, INXS’s “Don’t Change”, Expose’s “Point of No Return”, and many more. So, it was great to see how music was utilized in the film, especially Falco’s “Amadeus” (since most of us who grew up at that time know how this song was overplayed).As for the Blu-ray release, as mentioned, the Blu-ray comes with a digital copy of the film and the special features (which are unrated) are quite entertaining. From “Frigo’s Taps” and learning about various ways on how to hit someone in the nads was definitely unexpected. Also, to see a featurette based on the character of Lisa P and showcasing her 80’s fashion style was quite interesting". Source: www.nt2009.com
