We arrived at the doors of Le Virtu on one of the coldest nights of the year.
Channing Tatum is trying his hand at the period–piece in his new film, The Eagle. Street spoke with Tatum about the unique challenges of playing a legendary warrior, hide–and–seek and filming in the cold.
Street: What did you do to get ready for the movie?
Channing Tatum: I was obviously going to have to ride horses and fight with swords and stuff, but I had at least a little experience in both of those areas.
Appearing to be a “space in transition,” Frances Trombly’s exhibit, “Everything and Nothing,” currently on show at The Galleries at Moore, could easily be dismissed as an unfinished installation.
Gossip Girl Leighton Meester is branching out this year with high–profile roles in Country Strong and The Roommate. Meester took time out of her busy schedule to chat with Street on the latter film, discussing mental illness, roommates and your favorite guilty pleasure TV show.
Street: What was it like trying to play the villain in your first thriller?
Leighton Meester: It’s funny — I saw the movie with a couple of my friends, and they were asking me, “how did you like it?”, and I was saying “it’s scary.” I was genuinely scared at points, but it is sort of funny that I’m what’s scary in the movie.
