I know I haven’t posted in ages but honestly there isn’t really anything to post. Alexa has been staying out of the spotlight. News just surfaced this week while filming the new Wrath of the Titans which is the sequel to Clash of the Titans in which Alexa played Andromeda. Alexa was asked to reprise her role but unfortunately she stated she was “Unavailable” to work on the movie. I wonder what has her so busy. I hope it’s an amazing project. Hope to see her in the big screen soon, she’s such a talented actress!
Perhaps I shall make a new layout here so it doesn’t look so dead until our girl gets out there and does more stuff!
Today is Alexa’s birthday and she is now 26 years old! She is definitely still a young buck. In honor of her birthday we will have a bunch of new goodies this week. Check back!
Article from LA Times:
Alexa Davalos hails from sturdy thespian stock. Her grandfather, Richard Davalos, played James Dean’s brother in 1955′s “East of Eden.” And mother Elyssa Davalos is a veteran of TV, theater and films.
Davalos says she couldn’t resist joining the family profession, even though that may not have been her family’s desire. “I kept it very quiet until it was actually happening,” says the 25-year-old actress, who stars as the free-spirited Chloe in Robert Benton’s romantic drama.
The role is her highest profile yet and also marks her first nude scene. “There is a stigma about it and fears — am I going to be protected?”
She and Benton talked about it during the audition process “and just speaking with him put my mind at ease, enough to say, ‘If I am going to do this, he is the right person.’ “
Since completing “Feast of Love,” Davalos has made “The Mist,” a Stephen King chiller directed by Frank Darabont (“The Green Mile”), due out this year. And she’s now in Lithuania filming the World War II drama “Defiance,” starring Daniel Craig and directed by Edward Zwick. S.K.
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – Liev Schreiber and Jamie Bell are joining Daniel Craig in the World War Two resistance movie “Defiance.”
The fact-based film revolves around Jewish brothers (Craig, Schreiber and Bell) living in Nazi-occupied Poland who escape into the Belarussian forest where they join Russian resistance fighters. Throughout the war, they build a village inside the forest and save the lives of more than 1,200 Jews.
Additionally Alexa Davalos will play Lilka, a Polish refugee and the love interest of Craig’s character. Tomas Arana will play Ben Zion, a skilled leader in the resistance.
Ed Zwick (“Blood Diamond”) is directing the Paramount Vantage project from his adaptation of Nechama Tec’s book “Defiance: The Bielski Partisans.”
Schreiber, whose recent credits include “The Painted Veil,” returned to theaters last Friday with the indie satire “The Ten.” Bell, best known for his starring role in “Billy Elliot,” just wrapped production on sci-fi movie “Jumper.”
Davalos next appears in Robert Benton’s “Feast of Love,” opposite Morgan Freeman and Greg Kinnear, which opens on September 28. Arana (“Gladiator”) recently wrapped an Italian remake of Alfred Hitchcock’s “Rebecca.”
