Your source for everything on actress Lynn Collins. She is known for her role as Dawn Green in Season 1 of True Blood. She starred in other films such as X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) and Uncertainty (2009). She plays Dejah Thoris in her latest film, John Carter out in March 9 2012.
I have added first pics of Lynn at the premiere for John Carter. Hopefully, I will have even more pics up tomorrow. I have also added a press junket pic of Lynn with Young Hollywood earlier today.
Check out Lynn’s interview with Jake Hamilton about John Carter. It also contains interviews with Taylor Kitsch, Willem Dafoe and director, Andrew Stanton:
Listen to Lynn talking about Princess Dejah Thoris in John Carter:
Lynn Collins stars as Princess Dejah Thoris in John Carter, an epic adventure based on the Edgar Rice Burroughs story A Princess of Mars. This year is the 100th anniversary of the John Carter character, who’s played in the film by Taylor Kitsch.
Collins, whose previous films include X-Men Origins: Wolverine (which also starred Kitsch) and The Merchant of Venice, talked about the challenges of creating her character amidst an epic production.
“There’s always that feeling of how can I make this as big as possible for the people who are going to see it,” said Collins. “And I would lift it up to the universe, to God, the higher self, whatever you want to call it, and I would say, ‘let me channel this archetypal force’ and then I’d do a take. And then I just kept doing that because honestly I didn’t know how to do this. This was so big. So I just kept letting the universe do it.”
Collins explains why Dejah Thoris is more than just a pretty face
Disney’s big-screen version of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ John Carter, directed by Andrew (Finding Nemo) Stanton, won’t be out for three more weeks, but ComingSoon.net is in Carefree, Arizona attending the junket this week. Speaking with producer Jim Morris, we learned that Stanton and his co-writer Michael Chabon have already been talking and doing some planning and writing for a sequel, which would tentatively be called John Carter: The Gods of Mars, based on Burroughs’ second novel.
Mind you, this sequel has not been greenlit by Walt Disney Pictures, and chances are that we won’t be hearing anything about whether or not a sequel is a go until well after it opens and Disney sees if it plays as well as everyone hopes both domestically and internationally.
We’re currently under an embargo preventing us from sharing our thoughts but trust us when we say that after you see the movie, you’ll more than likely want to see a sequel.
We’ll be interviewing Stanton later today and we’ll try to get in a couple of questions about the potential for a second movie, and look for lots more interviews in the coming weeks.
