Small video update, may be a day late or so with my usual image update, but the Video Archive has been updated with a local TV Fox 5 interview called Rachel’s Reel from earlier this year ( Eagle Eye interview ) - Thanks to Orchid!:

4 new videos have been added to the Video Archive including the Surf’s Up Beach-Side Press Junket with the talented Jon Heder, Sports Heroes First Look at Surf’s Up, Disturbia L.A. Premiere on April 4, 2007, and the Transformers Tokyo Press Conference on May 30, 2007:

Thanks to Josh, who donated a very HQ video of Shia’s Transformers: The Game interview, we’ve now got 855 HQ screencaptures of both Shia in interview and caps of Sam Witwicky in game in the gallery:

Plus the interview video has been added to the Video Archive:

I’ve finally got SHICONIC, the Icon Archive up and running and I’ve added 16 new icons made by me:

And too many to count made by the uber talented Katie at Bustix-Icons, aren’t they gorgeous? Big thanks to her for letting us archive them!:

Pardon my absense from the site, I work as staff over at Intoxicated Twilight and right now with the film’s fast approach the Twilight Fever has me there every free moment, but I am trying to keep up on *real* news and make sure there are images, news or media posted every day. I’ve got some scans coming up that I haven’t had time to upload - please bare with me!

For now there are 233 HQ screencaps of Shia being interviewed called “A New Indy Adventure Begins” from 2007:

The video for this is already in the Video Archive but I’m thinking of making a better quality conversion. Watch for that soon!

ShowbizSpy’s let us in on Shia’s love of putting himself in real danger:

“I like feeling like there is danger. Like there is something to lose. It makes the whole movie for me. ”

“So, when you put your characters in a situation where you can literally see the indentation of knuckles in their face and the choking and you can see the veins start to pop up, those are the best moments in action films for me. When there is real danger.”

Not sure how old this is, but here’s a snippet from an interview with the gorgeous and talented Michelle Monaghan talking about Eagle Eye and working with Shia from Movies.ie - Thanks Jamie!:

Q:Had you ever met Shia before this film?

MM: I met him very briefly on a movie called CONSTANTINE but we only had one conversation. It is really exciting to see him again.

Q:How beneficial is to work with an actor that you really don’t know where you play people that really don’t know each other?

MM: It actually helps quite a bit. The great thing about Shia is that from the moment we first met, we both wanted this film to be great and so we came into this working really hard. We knew that we were prepared to go for it and try and do as many of the stunts ourselves that they would let us. We didn’t know a lot about each other but this movie went on for a really long time that as the film moves along as in real life, we got to know each other very well.

Q:What impressed you about your co-star Shia LaBeouf?

MM: Here is a guy who is 21 or 22 years old and he is amazing actor. I can’t imagine what he will be like 10 years. He is good even in his rehearsals. He is committed and dedicated and work is so important to him. He strives to make sure the director gets what he wants. He has this boyish quality, but he is growing into a very talented young man.

Kind of old, but I hadn’t posted more than one of the questions up until now ( the print archive is still in the works ), but here’s a little more of Shia fielding questions about Eagle Eye:

You worked alongside another Oscar winner in Eagle Eye - Billy Bob Thornton. He plays a very shrewd FBI agent. What’s he like?

He’s a wild card. I like to go off book a lot and DJ lets me. It’s our style. Billy fell right into that. He was really gung-ho about it and so fast and quick-witted, so it raises the level of whatever scene we’re doing. He’s one of the best actors on the planet. To go toe-to-toe with him and spitting out seven pages of dialogue is just a lot of fun.

So how did it play out when shooting the fight scenes?

It was very physical. If was a different type of physical for me. In Indiana Jones it was like a ’slip on a banana peel’ type of action. Transformers is like another world, sci-fi, CGI-heavy action, while Eagle Eye is a very candid, tangible, realistic, dirty type of action. The fight scenes in Eagle Eye were fights. You’re going to get hit. You have to accept it. There was no way to choreograph it like a ballet. You have to fight and it felt that way. We would try and get it in one shot, if we didn’t get it in one we’d try to get it in two, but if we didn’t get it in two we were there a long while and the day was a hard one. It sucked. (laughs).

How’s the Transformers sequel, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, going?

It’s big. It’s massive. It’s way bigger than the first one. Michael Bay is trying to re-define action. This is not a small movie. I love him, but he’s pushing the envelope. He wants it to be crazy. He wants the audience to say ‘You are kidding!’

Man, what can I say? Last week we blew up a bridge and we blew up a town. It’s outrageous. The day before I got here we had this shot where there were four helicopters in the sky blowing up a building as I was running through it. There was a camera on a Jeep and I’m running through these dunes and it’s following me. If I tripped and fell I’m crushed. So we’re pushing it as far as we can. It’s the toughest thing I’ve ever done physically.
