Added new interview from Movieweb in headline “AnnaSophia Robb & Alexander Ludwig Talk Race to Witch Mountain”
Walt Disney Studios relived their 1975 classic Escape to Witch Mountain with a new modern-day spin in the popular remake Race to Witch Mountain, which hits the shelves on DVD and a Blu-ray/DVD combo set on August 4.
This new remake got a revamped cast with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Carla Gugino and even the grown-up child stars of the original film, Kim Richards and Ike Eisenmann. Of course, the new film also needed new child stars which they got in the wonderful combination of AnnaSophia Robb and Alexander Ludwig, who portray the alien siblings Sara and Seth.
I had the chance to speak with Robb and Ludwig over the phone recently about their new film on DVD and BD, and here’s what they had to say.
- So, first of all, I was kind of curious about how you first heard about this role and if you were both familiar with the original two films at all?
AnnaSophia Robb : I first heard about the film when I had a meeting with Andy Fickman, our fabulous director, and he pitched me the project and I read it and loved it. I’d love to work with Andy and Dwayne (”The Rock” Johnson) and then it just kind of snowballed from there. They actually sent me the original films and it was just exciting because they’re such classic films and it was nice to think that we were going to make the next chapter in the Witch Mountain series.
