And Percy learns that he has a half-brother. Starring Logan Lerman, Alexandra Daddario, Brandon T. Jackson, Jake Abel and Leven Rambin. The Smurfs 2 – The blue men must once again work with their human friends (Neil Patrick Harris) when Smurfette is kidnapped by Gargamel. Meanwhile Smurfette, not realising the imminent danger she is facing, has a fun time with Gargamel's newest creation – creatures called the Naughties. Katy Perry, Brendon Gleeson, Christina Ricci, the late Jonathan Winters, George Lopez and Anton Yelchin make up some of the voice cast. Tales From The Dark 2 – Some of us are not even over Tales From The Dark 1, showing in cinemas last month, and the second part is already here. Since these films are based on Lilian Lee's stories, there are, presumably, plenty of tales to tell. Among the directors participating in this outing include Gordon Chan, Lawrence Lau and Teddy Robin. |
| Posted: The Conjuring's Vera Farmiga talks about scary movies. GROWING up with strict immigrant parents in New Jersey, Vera Farmiga was not allowed to watch scary movies. Thanks to her best friend Missy, however, Farmiga was introduced to the horror films of Freddy Krueger. Thirty years after feasting on A Nightmare On Elm Street and its sequels at Missy's house, the 39-year-old actress said she is ready to scare a new generation of overprotected children with the terrifying new film The Conjuring. Farmiga, who was nominated for an Oscar opposite George Clooney in Up In The Air and is one of the stars of Bates Motel, portrays real-life paranormal investigator Lorraine Warren in the new film. Warren, a clairvoyant, and her husband Ed Warren, a demonologist played by Patrick Wilson, investigated thousands of hauntings, including those that inspired the films The Amityville Horror and The Haunting In Connecticut. What or who was the key in making The Conjuring work? It was Lorraine. She is an influential and fascinating person. That was the draw for me. And, of course, Patrick Wilson playing Ed was the cincher. I just worked with his wife (Dagmara Dominczyk) on Higher Ground and I adored her. I know Ed Warren has passed away, but did you get to meet with Lorraine? I did. I had just read their book The Demonologist. It was unlike any book I've ever read. It's about mystical phenomena. It just scared the daylights out of me. It details all their cases. There are things that go down in this book that are absolutely unfathomable, so far-fetched and so diabolical. Then they have their museum of the occult that is located near their house. That museum, which contains objects from their most celebrated cases, plays a significant role in the movie. Did you take a tour of it? I opted not to see it. I decided that I was only playing Lorraine Warren. I didn't need to be around the psychic energy of these things. It would have done nothing for me. Just knowing about the terror and dread these objects instilled was enough for me. Patrick wasn't afraid; he even posed with the Annabelle doll. Was Lorraine okay with you not going through the museum? She doesn't go through there much since Ed's passing. They have a priest who lives on the property and continues to bless the items and pray over the household every night. That's pretty creepy. That's what I'm telling you. Her nephew will tell you that there is an active energy to those objects, even though the priest prays over them. How much did she share about the demons she's met? She doesn't like to dwell on the past, and she's never told anyone, including Ed, what she saw in the house that night. I assume she saw death in the face, whether it was hers or her children, nobody knows. You can only imagine what she saw. She doesn't go there. And I think she maintains power over it by not talking about it. I mostly just watched her gestures and how she spoke. I absorbed whatever I could. Is it scary on the set when you're making a scary movie? Only if your co-workers are scary. We are responsible for the energy we create. Some strange things happened on the set, but we have decided not to discuss it because it gives that mysticism negative energy. Are your children too young to see this movie? Oh, yeah (laughs). They're two and four. When will you let them see it? After they turn 40. – The Orange County Register/McClatchy-Tribune Information Services The Conjuring's Vera Farmiga on scary movies.The Conjuring opens in cinemas nationwide on Aug 1. |
