AXP Interviews Juan Riedinger!

[BlackWatch]

From main AXP page:

With Alien vs. Predator 2 set for release some time late this fall or early winter there has been very little so far in the way of details surrounding the cast, characters or storyline, but recently I had the chance to chat with Juan Riedinger who plays the character of Scotty. We talk about acting, his career and, of course, the film. Here's a sample:

AXP: How familiar were you with the Alien and Predator franchises prior to this role?

JR: I’ve seen a couple of the Alien and Predator films. It’s funny, Rainbow (who played Earl) and I were watching the original Predator in his trailer while we were on set…partly to kill time, and partly to get in the right headspace right before shooting. As for AVP…unfortunately I never got a chance to see it! To be honest, I haven’t heard too many positive things about the first one. Don’t worry, from what I could gather, I think the sequel will redeem the series. I really don’t think the fans will be disappointed.

AXP: What was it like working with Greg and Colin Strause?

JR: They were great! Really cool, laid back, professional, and talented guys. Although this is their directorial debut (of a major production), I’m sure there’ll be more on the horizon…and their visual effects resume speaks for itself.

Unfortunately there were a lot of aspects of the film we couldn't touch on for various reasons, but you can get one actor's perspective. To read the whole Q and A visit our interviews section. Thanks again to Juan for this.

Discuss.

Well, that explains why they were shooting in a sporting-goods store.

[Corporal Hicks]

Some interesting tidbits in there. We now know more about the characters!  Nice work.

[Corporal Hicks]

I'm a big Atlantis fan. And I know R.S.F will be one of the acting highlights of the movie. 

[SiL]

Oh noes he's not done a lot of screen work he cant act!

...Sorry, had to

[Hunter]

Nice interview, Hicks! Short and sweet.

He’s a bit of a half-wit who works at a sporting-goods store with his buddy Earl (Rainbow Francks). The two are caught off guard by some commotion, and crazy things happen. I think that’s about all I can say.

Sporting goods V Alien and Predators.

Sporting goods V Alien and Predators.

Something tells me he'll do a 'Jerry Lambert' and get killed by a Predator, right after throwing a golfball/club.
Very interesting interview, Hicks. Good job!

[RaV]

Nice, Hicks. I woulda thought theyd do a bit more research into alien and predator movies, than just watching predator to 'kill some time' before shooting, though.

[Dutch]

He mentions at some point in the interview he cant mention who takes.

Does this mean were gonna get an out right victor this time??

[InspectorDC]

Nice, Hicks. I woulda thought theyd do a bit more research into alien and predator movies, than just watching predator to 'kill some time' before shooting, though.

It is just a job for them, knowing the older movies won't affect their roles much.

[Corporal Hicks]

It is just a job for them, knowing the older movies won't affect their roles much.

Especially since their characters haven't seen the movies either. If anything, it's the writer/crew/directors etc. who should have been doing the researching.

[Aliendrone]

I bet that disturbance outside is the aliens attacking.

[BlackWatch]

I bet that disturbance outside is the aliens attacking.

I think that's what he was getting at...

Some interesting tidbits in there. We know how more about the characters!  Dance Nice work.

Thanks!

Rainbow Sun Francks is in this? That is awesome news. I am really pulling for his career, loved him in SGA and I miss Ford!

[Corporal Hicks]

Hopefully he'll be coming back for Season 4! Super-Ford had some interesting stories in him.
