*Ellen Page Talks X3:

“It’s just so huge,” she says. “It just blows my mind. I’m so used to doing tough, intense material in like 18 days or 24 days, for not much money. It’s truly the complete opposite of anything I’ve ever done.”

Onscreen, in often challenging roles in films like Marion Bridge and the upcoming Hard Candy, Page has the fierce gravity of a Holly Hunter or, closer to her own age bracket, a Jena Malone. In person, the diminutive teen—the five feet of her dressed in jeans, a maroon thrift store t-shirt, an army-green newsboy cap and weathered orange Converse—is laidback, polite and unassuming. She speaks confidently and evenly. The tensest moment comes when she protests a complimentary coffee.

In X-Men 3, Page plays Kitty Pryde, who popped up briefly in the respective forms of Sumela Kay and Katie Stuart in the first two films. “She can run through walls, and grab people and pull them through walls,” says Page, wrapping her hands around a mug of French roast. “Not very flashy—it’s kind of the humble defensive power.”

Her background knowledge of the X-Men story is limited, so she’s been reading up. She knows “people will just kill you if you don’t do it to justice.” But beyond the long, choppy, auburn extensions seamlessly woven into her short brown locks, there’s nothing left for Page to do until she lands on the west...[Continued]

 

Katie Stuart: Kitty Pryde (X2)

*Katie Stuart Article From the X2 Days:

A Vancouver native best known for her stint on the TV series "The Crow: Stairway to Heaven," Stuart still isn't sure how she snagged her current role, which was played in the first film by Sumela Kay. "I've never met the girl, but I feel bad about it," Stuart says. "I'm assuming that she looks older than Kitty Pryde should. I'm 18, but I still pull off 14 pretty well."

Except when she straightens her naturally wavy hair, as she did during preproduction. The unexpected side effect: She resembled co-star Anna Paquin. "I almost didn't get the part because they thought that I looked too much like her," says Stuart, who quickly reverted to her original coif.

You'd think she'd have more job security, having worked with Professor X himself, Patrick Stewart, in the 1997 flick "Masterminds." But Stuart's more interested in sharing the screen with another "X2" actor: Daniel Cudmore. In the comic, Colossus and Kitty were once romantically involved -- a fact that clearly intrigues the 5-foot-2 actress. "I don't think I'd have any problems doing that," she purrs, sounding more vixen than kitten. "I might need a footstool, but we could pull it off." [Source]
