Interviews: Elijah Wood, Michael Fassbender, War Horse cast...

Elijah Wood spoke to Collider about his return to New Zealand for his small role in The Hobbit: "It was a gift to go back and return. I was in Hobbiton again, for the first time in 11 years. I turned 19 in Hobbiton. I’m 30 now. That put a lot of things into perspective. It was beautiful. It was just beautiful to go back."

Michael Fassbender talked to IFC about playing Magneto in X-Men: First Class and a possible sequel: "Hopefully we’ll get to do another one; that’s what we want to carry that vein through for sure. Personally, I do and I know James feels the same."

Video interview with the cast of War Horse:

Len Wiseman updated ComingSoon.net on Total Recall: "I'm very close to handing over my cut. It's going really well. The combination of mystery and emotion and action, it's coming together. Colin [Farrell] is a large part of that and I'm really happy with him."

Taylor Kitsch talked to Total Film about upcoming sci-fi epic John Carter: “It’s the most physical role I’ve ever done. It’s beyond gruelling for me. I’m basically in every scene. You can see the action on it. The main thing I’ve learned is energy conservation.”
