Jessica Alba plays a crazy pharmaceutical rep in "Little Fockers"

Jessica Alba - Machete Portrait Session in Venice 01-09-2010
"In addition to kicking butt in Robert Rodriguez's "Machete" Jessica Alba is also appearing among the star-studded cast of "Little Fockers," the third installment in the franchise that features Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro playing out their often awkward son-in-law vs. overprotective father-in-law relationship.
"I play a pharmaceutical sales rep who is very, um, outgoing and has no sense of personal space," Alba recently told MTV News.

She hinted that her character might inadvertently try to get a little too close to Stiller's lovable Gaylord Focker. "She says exactly what's on her mind and she has no filter at all," the actress explained. "She was really fun because I'm pretty much the opposite of that."

Alba admitted that keeping a straight face on set was a big challenge, since most of her scenes were with funnyman Ben Stiller. Still, she had a blast, she said, particularly with her character's freewheeling ways. "It was just fun and pretty liberating to play someone who was just so open and so free and totally crazy."
"Little Fockers" is set a few months after the events of the last installment, "Meet the Fockers" as Stiller and Teri Polo's parents-to-be busily prepare for baby. Producer Jay Roach told MTV News earlier this year that Stiller's attempt to remain calm is thwarted by a familiar face (and former nemesis).
"It's Owen Wilson coming back with a new passion for Ben's wife, Teri Polo", Roach said. "And of course it's hidden and it's all under the surface, but it causes a lot of new wrinkles in the relationship between all of them," the producer explained.
In addition to Alba and Wilson, "Fockers" will also feature Dustin Hoffman in the role of Stiller's father opposite Barbra Streisand, an addition to the cast that was only recently made due to the film reportedly coming in under budget". Source: www.mtv.com

"Stewart has racked up quite a collection of independent films, such as a scene stealing cameo in Sean Penn’s superb Into the Wild, as Meg Ryan’s feisty daughter In the Land of Women and as the troubled femme fatale in Greg Mottola’s Superbad follow up Adventureland.Stewart will play Dean Moriarty’s wife Mary Lou, described by Kerouac as a “beautiful little sharp chick,” in his transparently autobiographical account of spontaneous road trips that became the iconic testament to the Beat Generation.
Another in her indie line up sees Stewart star with James Gandolfini in Welcome to the Rileys. The film premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival and Stewart describes her character Mallory as, “an incredibly vivacious, seemingly really solid girl, but she was a 16-year-old runaway, stripper, prostitute who was absolutely so completely corroded and broken. She’s like a broken toy; it’s fun, but it doesn’t really work right". Source: www.alicetynan.com

Michael Cera plays geek Scott Pilgrim


"Garbage Truck" Performed by Sex Bob-Omb From Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) ABKCO Records "Michael Doherty: First of all, belated happy birthday, Anna. Having just reached 25, it must be very gratifying that you're still able to convincingly pull off teenage roles? Anna Kendrick arrives at the Blackberry Torch launch party on August 11, 2010 in Los Angeles Anna Kendrick: Thank you very much and yes, it is very gratifying! I actually got downgraded from 19 to 18 for this film, so I don't quite know what that says about me! I feel a little silly but as long as people can still buy me as a teenager, then I'm flattered. Michael Cera and Anna Kendrick outside the London Studios (August 18, 2010) In Scott Pilgrim . . . your character is modelled on the writer's own sister, Stacy, whom you met before shooting started. Was that a bit weird or a bit daunting?
No, it was really cool. I was a bit nervous about meeting her but she is so lovely. She basically told me that the relationship between Stacy and Scott in the books is the real relationship she has with her own brother. She gave me her Stacy badge to wear from when she worked in The Second Cup, the coffee shop in the movie, so that was cool"
With Edgar Wright - EW COMIC CON PORTRAITS
Edgar [Wright, director] is known for his many takes and you were also working on a movie with a heightened, comic-book sensibility Did that make Scott Pilgrim... a demanding movie to work on?
Well, for my first scene I had to turn my head, react, say my line and then wait for the crash zoom and I did that 20 times and it wasn't quite right.

I was getting embarrassed because there were so many takes, but Mary Elizabeth [Winstead], who plays Ramona, basically leaned in to me and said, 'don't worry, this is a rite of passage. You aren't a real Scott Pilgrim cast member unless you have done 20 takes of one scene!' So yes, it was really challenging, but very satisfying when you see it all come together". Source: www.rte.ie
