Moviefone swept up using the budding star to discover much more about 'The Thing' and what it really was like dealing with Hedlund in 'On the street.A What sparked your curiosity about 'The Thing' initially? I figured it would be a brilliant idea to prequel John Carpenter's film. 'The Thing' provided an excellent chance to determine what went down in the Norwegian base since it is shrouded in mystery. We do not know precisely what happened there. And That I loved the truth that there have been two women in that one. How made it happen modify the dynamic while filming, getting another lady around the team? We'd a lot of fun. Mary Elizabeth [Winstead, of 'Scott Pilgrim versus The World'] is amazing. She's so professional and gifted. We'd such a lot of fun being an ensemble cast too. Everyone got along. It felt nearly the same as camp. So how exactly does this compare and lead into John Carpenter's version? Well, there is lots of care taken with this particular film because Carpenter's version is really a cult classic and that we desired to respect that. The effects were done manually and there is lots of puppetry in Carpenter's version, which element is within this film, that is great. Our film and the are certainly in the same world. Although it has got the same kind of feel, it's also a movie that may really stand by itself. Therefore it may attract a crowd beyond original fans of 'The Thing'? Oh, absolutely! One thing that's interesting would be the aspects of paranoia, isolation, being unsure of who to trust -- that whole mental element is actually intriguing, notable and compelling to look at. That which was it like shooting? I heard you had quite a elaborate occur Toronto... Yeah, it had been amazing. It had been so impressive to determine all the work the effects team did. We did some use eco-friendly screens, but many of the puppets and also the stuff was on set, therefore it really was awesome to have interaction by using it and find out all of the artistry behind it. Without giving an excessive amount of away, are you able to describe the puppetry a little many the kinds of effects don't be surprised to determine? The creature needs to seem sensible for films, so you will notice some commonalities between certain animals. How have you try 'On the Road'? That seems like a awesome project. Yes! It is a really awesome project, and it is an overall total departure from 'The Factor.' It's according to Jack Kerouac's famous book, and shot in seven locations around the world. For the reason that film I play Sal Paradise's -- performed by Mike Riley -- real, true woman. In the finish of his adventures he decides to alter his existence and settle lower with Laura, who's my character. Great cast. The director is Walter Salles, who directed 'The Motorcycle Journals.' I believe it will likely be a very exciting project being released the coming year. You will find lots of large names within the movie, like Billy Burke and Garrett Hedlund. That which was the dynamic like on set? The majority of my moments were with Garrett Hedlund and Mike Riley, who're fantastic. They are amazing. This can be a film that actually together with around, similar to the book. The funny part is the fact that shooting 'The Factor,' i was putting on snowpants in May, June, and that we were boiling. Then shooting 'On the Road' it had been December and that i is at a bustier ball gown. It had been quite funny. Follow Moviefone on Twitter Like Moviefone on Facebook RELATED
