It's you.

We all do.

 

[tedw]

Yeah, there is supposed to be coverage of the "star-studded" premiere tonight. I know that at the least there will be a Fox video crew on the red carpet, so I'd expect footage to go up on thedangerroom.net.

 

[Retroman]

Cool, thanks

Just to let you guys know that we now have a blog up (http://thexverse-cannes.blogspot.com/), which will be updated throughout today, covering all that we are doing over here. Just for anyone who is interested in exactly what we are up to, kind of a less official/more candid look at what we have been doing. We also will be posting up more interview stuff on the site later today/tomorrow, there is the first part of our John Bruno interview up now (http://www.thexverse.com/news/0413.shtml).

We'll be at the premiere tonight covering the red carpet and will try to get some video footage etc from that for everyone to see!

 

[Ander]

Funny how Dania mentions having to do a lot of physical training for the part (kickboxing, etc.) because that's how we first learned that she was cast in this movie...an article on Vancouver Sun about a Dania Ramirez working out with a physical trainer in a Vancouver gym, who the writer of the article speculated was cast in an X-men movie.
