In a hilarious new video produced by Oscar.com, Mike Myers portrays one of his outlandish characters as only he can. Myers is Sir Cecil Worthington, an Oscar expert, who is sitting down with Oscar winner Kevin Kline to give him a few lessons in the art of keeping his Oscar in tip top shape. Kline says in the video about winning an Oscar, “There are just certain weird things that come along with it.” Myers then schools the actor and the result is priceless.

Jennifer Aniston has a history with her Wanderlust co-star Paul Rudd that began with The Object of My Affection and continued with the actor’s role on that little show of Aniston’s called Friends. It is also a reunion for Rudd and director David Wain. The actor has appeared in every single one of the director’s movies including Role Models, Wet Hot American Summer and The Ten.

In Wanderlust, Aniston and Rudd decide to shake things up. The pair play a couple who feel that life has run its course into the predictable. They head out on the road in search of adventure and find themselves at a commune called Elysium. Things truly get weird, but in the most hilarious of ways.

Rudd and Aniston sat down to talk about the art of comedy, the magic of their new film and their director Wain, as well as what it was like for the duo to reunite once again.

Movie Fanatic: How did it feel for you two to get back together on screen?

Jennifer Aniston: It felt like no time had passed. We were so happy. It was heaven! We’ve also seen each other, throughout the years, so it was just that excitement of, “Oh, this is going to be so fun and comfortable,” especially playing a married couple and having that ease and familiarity. It was just fun.

Paul Rudd: We knew that there were certain things that we wouldn’t have to try to create, just because we have the benefit of knowing each other for as long as we have. There was also something really cool about really feeling the time. The first movie that we ever really worked together on was The Object of My Affection, and Alan Alda was in that as well. Now, the three of us are hanging out, years later, and playing very different parts. Being able to be nostalgic was really cool.

Movie Fanatic: Paul, do you feel there’s a certain amount of pressure for you to always be funny on screen?
 
Paul Rudd: There’s pressure, every single time, of not sucking. Now that you’ve pointed it out, I’m screwed [laughs]. 

Movie Fanatic: Your director is notorious for letting the camera roll if the comedy improv is cruising. Were there any scenes in particular you were shocked he kept the camera rolling?

Paul Rudd: Just about every single one in the movie, I’d say. I’m not a fan of just doing the scene, cutting, setting up again, and doing the scene again. It’s nice when you can keep going and find a rhythm and groove. Something can happen, particularly if you’re improvising. So, it’s great when you have a director that wants to work like that. For me, I like it.

Jennifer Aniston: David would do it, just for his own laugh. You’d hear him laughing. We would just be going on and on and on, and then finally he’d yell, “Cut!,” while he was laughing, and we knew we were just giving David a kick. That’s where you find the magic. The fun stuff comes when someone is not so strict on sticking to the script. You’re allowed the spontaneity, and great moments can happen.

Movie Fanatic: Jennifer, this is your first time working with David. How did you find the experience?

Jennifer Aniston: I was welcomed in with open arms, and I had just the time of my life.

Movie Fanatic: Paul, what keeps you coming back to working with David?

Paul Rudd: I’m a huge David Wain fan. He’s one of my best friends now, but he just makes me laugh continually, much to the annoyance of his wife. She’s like, “Don’t encourage him,” when we have dinner, and stuff. I just think he’s got a very specific sensibility that is unlike anybody I’ve ever met. I happen to think that he’s a really talented filmmaker.

Movie Fanatic: We’ve featured you singing Two Princes by the Spin Doctors in a clip that has our readers laughing out loud. Were there any other songs discussed for that scene?

Paul Rudd: It was just so fun to sit around and think about what the song could be. I put more time into that than anything else. I do think it reveals a lot about the character, but it’s just super-fun when you go, “Oh, yeah, that would be a good one. It’s really funny to play.” The one that we almost did, and David and I spent hours laughing about, was the song Tough Enough, by the Fabulous Thunderbirds. But, who would learn that song on an acoustic guitar, and then try to play that? It was almost that, but I didn’t know how to beat the Spin Doctors.

Movie Fanatic: Your characters are a couple and are eager to break away from their perceived to be mundane lives. Have you ever shared that feeling?

Jennifer Aniston: Every day, yes. For me, going to Clarksville and shooting this movie was a version of that because there were no paparazzi and there were no secret, tricky little cell-phone pictures being taken. It was just this great community and these amazing people. I really realized how much I had walled myself in, not consciously so, but just with this protective armor that I have. It’s not for my friends or people in my family, but just being outside in the world, I’m always on guard. So, there was just this sigh of relief, after week one, that was like riding on a horse, out of the bubble. It was really special to get back in touch with that part of myself and that anonymity. I really made a conscious effort to remind myself, “Don’t wall up like that.” I think that you miss out on a lot of stuff when you’re so protected and isolated.

Movie Fanatic: In Wanderlust, you guys land in a commune called Elysium. How long do you think you would last in a place like that?

Paul Rudd: It depends on what version it is. There’s something great about the idea of working the land and living communally. That’s healthy. That’s good. But, the version in the movie would get old pretty fast.

Jennifer Aniston: I honestly don’t think I would [laughs]. Not one second.

The home video front finds quite the varied batch of films this week as we welcome J. Edgar, Tower Heist and Martha Marcy May Marlene home on DVD and Blu-Ray. From the Oscar-considered (but then ignored) J. Edgar that featured an astounding Leonardo DiCaprio to the comeback of Eddie Murphy in Tower Heist… all tastes are well represented.

J. Edgar: DiCaprio rivets as the man who ruled over the FBI longer than anyone in U.S. history. The legend of J. Edgar Hoover is filled with mystery and innuendo, yet the Clint Eastwood-directed film never really answers too many of history’s questions. But, the film is powerful and for the performance alone of its leads, DiCaprio and Armie Hammer, the film is a must-see.

J. Edgar Trailer

Tower Heist: Murphy makes a solid comeback (again) opposite Ben Stiller in the comedy-heist film that is perfect for our times. First off, we want Stiller and Murphy to make more movies together. Their first is a triumph of action, comedy and thrills. Alan Alda stars as a Bernie Madoff-type financier who swindles millions from his investors, including the workers of the elite Manhattan condo where he resides. Stiller is the building’s manager who is determining to make things right by stealing the money back with ex-con Murphy’s help.

New Tower Heist Trailer

Martha Marcy May Marlene: This is the film that put Elizabeth Olsen on the map. The actress made the announcement to the world at Sundance 2011 and her powerful performance is still resonating for this writer. Olsen plays a woman who escapes a cult to the refuge of her sister’s lakeside home, only to be haunted by her time in the cult until the film’s final haunting moments.

Like Christopher Plummer with his nomination for Beginners, The Help star Octavia Spencer is considered a lock to win the Best Supporting Actress category at this year’s Academy Awards. With our daily look at Hollywood’s biggest night, Oscar Watch today takes a peek at the Best Supporting Actress category and assesses whether we can truly expect Spencer to stand on the Kodak Theatre's stage February 26 making an acceptance speech.

When looking at this category, we have to begin and end with The Help star. Spencer won the BAFTA, the Golden Globe and is therefore one tough cookie to beat. But, if there’s an upset in the making, it comes from our collective desire to laugh.

Melissa McCarthy received great cheers from audiences and her peers for her nomination for Bridesmaids. In a cast full of female comedy heavyweights, she stole every scene she inhabited. There is a huge amount of goodwill towards the Mike and Molly star that may just carry her to victory. Can you imagine that film without her? Hardly.

Jessica Chastain earned her nod for The Help, but in some ways her nomination was for a stellar year where she announced her presence to the world. She starred in The Debt, Texas Killing Fields, The Tree of Life, Coriolanus and Take Shelter. Yes, that is quite an impressive year and she should be simply proud of the nomination for The Help. Look for her to nab this trophy in the near future.

Janet McTeer earned her nomination for going toe-to-toe with Best Actress nominee Glenn Close in Albert Nobbs. Although she turned in a stellar performance, unfortunately in this year, with these women in this category, she doesn’t stand a chance of winning.

Berenice Bejo rocked our world in The Artist. The film has 10 nominations and is our favorite to win Best Picture. Could she be swept up in the Oscar love for her movie to victory? Perhaps, but I would bet on McCarthy before Bejo to achieve the upset. Bejo is an utter delight and Movie Fanatic could not be more thrilled for the actress who visited with us for an exclusive video interview (below).

The Artist: Jean Dujardin and Berenice Bejo Exclusive Interview

As we said, this category begins and ends with Spencer. It is hers to lose, and honestly, we see no way that will happen.

A new TV spot for The Hunger Games has arrived and it gives us a few glimpses into new territory. There are a few scenes with Wes Bentley’s Seneca Crane that are sure to tease the legions of fans of Suzanne Collins’ bestselling book series. Also, this spot features a bit more of an emotional punch than past ones, including the recent The Hunger Games Super Bowl trailer. Stay with Movie Fanatic as tomorrow we roll out a slew of new character photos of the entire cast! And don't miss your chance to win tickets to the film's Los Angeles premiere.

The Hunger Games TV Spot

Tyler Perry is one of, if not the, most successful filmmakers working in Hollywood today. Actually to clarify, the man works out of his Atlanta home base… but what cannot be argued is the box office clout this megastar wields. He is back on screen with the touching Good Deeds and visiting with Movie Fanatic for an exclusive video interview to talk about writing, directing, producing and starring in the story of a man who has it all, but seeks much more. In our interview, Perry discusses what inspired him to write this film and what personally inspires him.

Tyler Perry Exclusive Interview

In the movie, Wesley Deeds (Perry) has always done what is expected of him, and to great success. When he meets Thandie Newton’s Lindsey Wakefield, a cleaning woman, everything changes. The film also stars Gabrielle Union, Phylicia Rashad, Eddie Cibrian and Rebecca Romijn.

Following in the footsteps of Peter Jackson and his video blogs from The Hobbit, Skyfall director Sam Mendes has filed his first on set video report. The Oscar winning director is busy at work directing Daniel Craig as James Bond in the film that hits screens November 9. The report gives us plenty of behind-the-scenes looks of the 23rd Bond movie and its steady roll towards completion.

Sam Mendes Skyfall Video Blog

Skyfall stars Craig, Judi Dench, Javier Bardem as the bad guy, Naomie Harris, Ralph Fiennes, Albert Finney and Ola Rapace.

The stars of Men in Black 3 are front and center in the new poster from the upcoming film. Sony Pictures released the new one sheet on its Twitter feed and it features Will Smith sporting those famous shades, with Tommy Lee Jones and Josh Brolin on either side of him.

Men in Black 3 premieres May 25 on 3D, IMAX 3D and 2D and the poster’s tagline tells us much about the story: Back in Time.

It seems that Smith’s Agent J has to go back to the 1960s to get to the bottom of a mystery that surrounds Jones’ Agent K. There he meets a younger Agent K, played by Brolin. Whether it is the new poster, the recently released stills or the film’s trailer, this movie has us just a little excited.

Paramount has released a new TV spot for its 3D release of Titanic and it hits all the right notes, literally. Celine Dion’s Oscar winning song My Heart Will Go On is featured throughout as those indelible images from the film give us the chills as they remind us what a sweeping romantic epic James Cameron crafted.

Titanic 3D TV Spot

Cameron and Paramount are releasing Titanic 3D on April 4, six days prior to the 100th anniversary of the tragic ship’s sailing from the U.K. As we have seen in the new TV spot, the Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Rose (Kate Winslet) love story has not lost an ounce of fervor since the film’s 1997 release.

Jennifer Aniston skewered her good girl image in Horrible Bosses and now she’s back on screen in Wanderlust. In the comedy, co-starring Paul Rudd, she further alters her image by letting her hair down as part of a couple who find themselves in a commune where anything goes. In honor of her return to the screen, Movie Fanatic wanted to inquire our esteemed readership as to what their favorite Jennifer Aniston movie has been. The actress has had a hit and miss record on the big screen since leaving Friends, but there are some films on her resume that people truly adore.

What is your favorite Jennifer Aniston film?

The cast from American Pie is getting back together for their tenth high school reunion. Of course everyone has changed, well, maybe not everyone. Judging by the film’s new trailer, Seann William Scott’s Stiffler still has got his head stuck on one thing: Sex. Jason Biggs and Alyson Hannigan’s characters are happily married with children. As we see in the latest trailer, when a girl that Biggs used to babysit invites him to her 18th birthday party, Biggs says to Stiffler, “I’m not going to cheat on my wife. I’m a daddy.” To which Stiffler eloquently says, “Be her daddy.”

American Reunion Trailer 3

American Reunion arrives April 6 and also brings back Mena Suvari, Eugene Levy, Tara Reid, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Shannon Elizabeth, Chris Klein, Thomas Ian Nichols and Jennifer Coolidge.

They say that imitation is the utmost form of flattery, so it is hardly a surprise that Hollywood’s love affair with The Artist continues with the new trailer for Ice Age: Continental Drift. The teaser even features some of the same music from the Oscar-nominated film and is affectionately called “The Scratist.”

Ice Age Continental Drift The Artist Trailer

The next Ice Age film hits theaters July 13 and stars Ray Romano, Queen Latifah, Denis Leary and John Leguizamo returning to their roles as well as Jeremy Renner, Jennifer Lopez, Nick Frost, Joy Behar and Parks and Recreation star Aziz Ansari joining the franchise.

Act of Valor filmmakers Mike "Mouse" McCoy and Scott Waugh were offered an interesting option for their latest film. The Department of Defense presented the idea of the duo using real Navy SEALs to play the ones depicted in their new thriller. Needless to say they jumped at the opportunity and the result is some of the most incredible action sequences we’ve ever seen on film. It’s hard to get the intricacies of a firefight wrong when your actors have actually been in quite a few.

McCoy and Waugh recently sat down with Movie Fanatic at the Beverly Hilton Hotel (sadly one floor below where Whitney Houston had died the day prior) to chat about their new film, giving us insight into any national security concerns that they had to be conscious of, as well as the process of taking non-actors and putting them to work on a movie set.

“We formed the story around two big set pieces. There were the five acts of valor that they told us about,” Waugh said of their real SEALs stars’ experiences in the field.

“There were multiple acts of valor, but we found five of them that Mouse and I really liked because they were very powerful stories that we wanted to weave a fictitious storyline through. That’s when we brought in Kurt Johnstad (screenwriter) to help us write an enemy threat line through these five acts of valor. But, the thing that was really interesting was that, once the eight guys we approached said no, and then finally said yes, Kurt wrote the screenplay around them. They were themselves. They were never playing characters. He got to meet all the guys and understand them.”

McCoy reported that once the screenplay was in hand, the SEALs' participation in crafting the film never ended. “On a day-to-day basis, scene by scene, they would really rewrite the dialogue, as it would be in that moment. So, it became very comfortable for them. It became a natural thing,” McCoy said. “They were saying what they would say, in their own voice. They weren’t playing characters, they were just being themselves.”

Something happened once principal photography finished on Act of Valor that caused an unexpected boost in interest in the elite fighting force: The capture and killing of Osama bin Laden. “I think it probably raised the awareness of the SEALs with the American public. But for us, as filmmakers, it wasn’t really about, ‘Yeah, you took down the bad guy.’ It was more about, ‘Wow, you guys did that for each other on the battlefield. You laid it down,’” McCoy said.
 
“I think the year is very representative of the feature. Within this last year, the teams have had incredible victories,” Waugh added. “For the four years that Mouse and I were making the film, we’d always said, ‘We don’t have stars for our movie, we have heroes.’ We’ve been saying that very loud, but they didn’t hear us before.”

The filmmaking duo were inspired day in and day out by the “heroes” that were their “stars.” Their valor appears to be something that McCoy and Waugh will always take with them, long after the attention on Act of Valor fades.

“They were some of the most humble men we’ve ever met,” McCoy said. “They’ve been extremely misrepresented in popular culture, especially in film. The guys aren’t some crazy Rambo/Terminator dudes. They’re actually really genuine, down-to-earth, good guys who are fantastic family men and fathers. The devotion to their family and their kids, and their ability to go do their jobs but still be great dads, is what stood out for us.”

Act of Valor Clip: Meet the Silent Warriors

Waugh reported that one thing that surprised him was the tightness of the soldier brotherhood. It was imperative that they capture that in their film. “All I knew was Charlie Sheen in that Navy SEALs movie, and I was pretty sure that probably wasn’t accurate. So then, when we got to meet the guys, they were the antithesis of everything they’ve been portrayed as,” he said. “It’s almost like they’re trying to be the perfect man because they’re constantly educating themselves. We stop educating ourselves. They just keep pushing themselves to become better people.”

“They’re definitely some of the most intelligent and intellectual men you’ve ever met. They’re maybe even smarter than they are tough, if that’s possible,” McCoy added. 

Lastly, we wondered whether it would be difficult for McCoy and Waugh to return to making action movies, using actors and stuntmen, where once stood real-life Navy SEALs.

“We respect actors. They’re great. But, these guys were the opposite of that prima-donna character,” McCoy said.

“We were shooting the scenes in the swamp and the assistant director said, ‘Okay, get make-up in here to spray them down with water to make them look like they’re getting out of the swamp.’ There were alligators and snakes and every bad thing in that swamp! The guys just jumped back in the swamp and said, ‘Okay, we’re ready to go. We’re good.’”

Disney’s Pixar has released the latest poster for its upcoming animated film Brave. The film is the first in Pixar’s rich history to feature a female lead and her presence is what the latest one-sheet is all about.

Kelly Macdonald (Boardwalk Empire) voices Merida, a Scottish Highland princess who is in the process of being set up in an arranged marriage. Merida wants nothing to do with marriage and instead wants to go out on adventures like the ones her father, King Fergus (Billy Connolly), has talked about her entire life.

The film’s latest trailer will debut tomorrow and we will bring it to you as soon as it’s live. Brave also stars Emma Thompson, Julie Walters, Kevin McKidd, Craig Ferguson and Robbie Coltrane.

The history of the Academy Awards is littered with upsets that with the perspective of history can only make the victory for the underdog movie seem all that more improbable. The 2012 Oscars will be handed out February 26 with The Artist a strong favorite. There could be an upset on that evening, but it is unlikely. Then again, we’re sure that is what the Best Picture losers felt when yielding the victory to the following Top 10 Best Picture Oscar Upsets of All Time.

10. The English Patient over Fargo and Jerry Maguire
The Coen brothers and Cameron Crowe, filmmakers of Fargo and Jerry Maguire respectively, had to feel pretty good heading into their Oscar night. The English Patient was their competition, yes, but critics and movie fans each had pointed out much of the film’s faults. You can imagine their surprise when the phrase was uttered: The Oscar goes to... The English Patient. Time hasn’t exactly been the kindest to that winning film either as both Jerry Maguire and Fargo are held in higher esteem.

9. An American in Paris over A Streetcar Named Desire
Heading into the 1951 Academy Awards, there were few who thought that the powerful A Streetcar Named Desire would not walk away with the Best Picture trophy. How wrong they were as the Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron-starring musical took the top prize that night. Marlon Brando gave what is largely considered the performance of his career, but it wasn’t enough to convince voters that he was in the best film of that year.

8. The Hurt Locker over Avatar
Although Avatar earned more nominations than any other film for the 2009 Oscars, it walked away without the Best Picture trophy that went to James Cameron’s ex-wife and her war drama The Hurt Locker. Kathryn Bigelow also made history that night by being the first female to score a Best Director Academy Award.

7. Rocky over All the President's Men, Network and Taxi Driver
What a defining year for film it was in 1976. Network spoke to our ever-expanding media. All the President's Men chronicled the Watergate scandal and starred two of the biggest actors in Hollywood with Dustin Hoffman and Robert Redford. Then, there was Martin Scorsese’s classic Taxi Driver that gave the world Robert De Niro. Yet, when all was said and done at the 1977 Oscars, it was Sylvester Stallone’s boxing heart-warmer Rocky that won Best Picture. Go figure.

6. Crash over Brokeback Mountain
Brokeback Mountain was not only the sentimental favorite to win Best Picture, Vegas oddsmakers had it running away with the prize. It is rare that an Academy Awards audience so vocally gasps as they did when it was announced that Crash had won Best Picture. Some have said that it was because of the gay love story at the heart of Brokeback Mountain. Movie Fanatic thinks it has more to do with the race relations story at the heart of Crash.

5. How Green Was My Valley over Citizen Kane
The American Film Institute, many years ago, named Citizen Kane the best movie in history. Did it win Best Picture? No! It was defeated on that night in the 1930s by a family film called How Green Was My Valley. Now, that is shocking!

4. Chariots of Fire over Raiders of the Lost Ark., Reds and On Golden Pond
Like 1976, 1981 was a stellar year for filmmakers making astounding films. Steven Spielberg had hit his stride with Raiders of the Lost Ark, Warren Beatty brought the Russian Revolution to light in Reds and Henry Fonda starred with his daughter Jane in the touching On Golden Pond. So, how did a little British film about real life Olympians manage to snag the trophy? Experts are still trying to figure this one out.

3. Shakespeare in Love over Saving Private Ryan
The Shakespeare in Love victory over Saving Private Ryan has been largely explained by the emergence of the Oscar campaign, as championed by then chairman of Miramax, Harvey Weinstein. He waged an all-out war on Spielberg’s war epic and the result was not only a Best Picture win over the favorite Saving Private Ryan, but a Best Actress Oscar for the film’s lead, Gwyneth Paltrow.

2. Ordinary People over Raging Bull
Once again, Scorsese gets the shaft at the Oscars. The Robert Redford-directed Ordinary People hit home for sure with American audiences dealing with a rash of teenage suicides. The film portrayed an average American family and how they dealt with the attempted suicide of their son. But, we’re talking about Raging Bull here! De Niro in one of his finest roles, in one of Scorsese’s great moments… but no Oscar for you Martin (again).

1. Dances with Wolves over Goodfellas
Yes, once again the Academy failed to award a Scorsese picture that deserved Best Picture. For this writer, Goodfellas is not only Scorsese’s best, but my favorite film of all time. Dances with Wolves is a great film, don’t get me wrong. But, is it better than Goodfellas? You have to be kidding. This is one where history has not been kind to the Best Picture winner as pundits across the board have admitted that this was one Oscar win that was an epic fail.

This much we already knew about A Good Day to Die Hard: It is an incredible title and for the fifth time, it features Bruce Willis back as John McClane, who is off to Russia on some sort of mission tied to a few old school Soviet crime relics. Now, we have a little more information as Spartacus star Jai Courtney has been cast to play Willis’ onscreen son.

The two did a screen test together (photo above) and producers adored how the two clicked on screen. It seems that Courtney will play McClane's estranged son, who somehow hooks up with his old pop and helps him through the Russian mess we all know Willis’ character will get involved in.

The Best Director category at this year’s Academy Awards is an interesting group to try to discern who will win. Given Oscar’s history of giving the award to the director whose film eventually wins Best Picture, you’d be safe to predict Michel Hazanavicius for The Artist. But, you cannot count out two legends in Woody Allen and Martin Scorsese, and a third -- Alexander Payne -- who did an incredible job bringing out George Clooney’s career-best performance in The Descendants.

Today Oscar Watch begins with looking at Hazanavicius, who did win the top Director’s Guild honor, the Golden Globes trophy for Best Director, Musical or Comedy and is widely seen as the front-runner. In our opinion, his biggest competition comes from Scorsese. The Hugo director won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director, Drama and after years of shunning the helmer, with his award for The Departed, the Academy has learned to love Martin. What makes this so hard to call is you could say, “Give it to Scorsese; he made a love letter movie about the movies.” Well, so did Hazanavicius! Let’s rule out the others first.

Allen arguably achieved the greatest hit of his career with Midnight in Paris. It could easily be his Best Director award to lose in any other year. Unfortunately, we do not believe that it will be Allen grasping the trophy on February 26 as the case for Hazanavicius and Scorsese is too strong.

Payne is enjoying his second nomination after his first for Sideways. The Descendants director achieved greatness with his film, but given the fact this brilliant helmer is just getting going, Oscar may believe that his award is to come in the future.

Then there’s Terrence Malick. His The Tree of Life split audiences and, one could assume, also the Academy. His nomination is certainly more seen as a salute to his pushing the cinematic envelope rather than one that is expected to result in a Best Director Oscar.

So, that leaves us with Scorsese vs. Hazanavicius. At this point, it is too close to call. But, we are going to go with our old standby. The Artist will win Best Picture and, therefore, Hazanavicius will win Best Director.

Who do you think will win Best Director?

Amanda Seyfried has crafted herself a solid career since grabbing our attention in 2004’s Mean Girls. She has since gone on to steal scenes from Meryl Streep in Mamma Mia, Liam Neeson in Chloe, Vanessa Redgrave in Letters to Juliet, Gary Oldman in Red Riding Hood and riveted us in In Time. Now Seyfried is set to sizzle in the thriller Gone as a woman who escaped a serial killer, only to find that her sister has been targeted by the psychopath. Seyfried sits down with Movie Fanatic for an exclusive video interview and lets us know her career highs (hint: it’s coming with Les Miserables) and her own favorite psychological thrillers.
