“There are a lot of cool stunts in the movie and the stunt co-ordinators were so nice” he said “They said I was the only kid they’ve ever let do their own stunts. I get beat up by Chris Eccleston, who plays the Rider. He kicks me and I go like four feet up in the air. That was really fun.

They attached a string to my harness and went “three, two, one” and then yanked a rope as hard as they could, I just went ‘bam!’and shot up into the air. David Cunningham director loves to do all the stunts for real. So pretty much everything you see is real. He brought in 1,500 snakes from Czech Republic for a snake scene.”

“One of them would be that when I sleep in a huge bed, I sleep on the side. I don’t know if that’s weird, but I sleep on the side, I don’t sleep in the middle. I have no idea why.” he said

“Well, I don’t think that there was much in common between me and my character. I guess one thing, is that I am very protective of the people I love, and that’s one thing that he has. Also, I actually have super powers as well, so that’s how I relate to him, as well. I can fly. Yeah, I’m actually secretly a super hero at night.” Alexander Ludwig said

Headline : Contact with Race to Witch Mountain Aliens Alexander Ludwig and AnnaSophia Robb
By : Reg Seeton

The original Witch Mountain movies of the 1970s have become Disney classics that kids and parents have enjoyed for nearly four decades. Although it’s hard to believe the Witch Mountain movies are that old, both Escape to Witch Mountain and Return From Witch Mountain are timeless movies that everyone has a memory of when they were either kids or adults.

In 2008 Disney took a bold step in reimagining the original Escape from Witch Mountain into an alien adventure for a new generation to enjoy with Race to Witch Mountain, now out on Blu-ray and DVD as of August 4, starring Dwayne Johnson in the role of Jack Bruno, a Las Vegas cab driver who meets young up and comers Alexander Ludwig and AnnaSophia Robb who play on-the-run alien bother and sister, Seth and Sarah. In a race against time, Seth and Sarah hire Jack to be their wheels in an effort to retrieve a valuable, technologically advance gadget that can save the human race and their alien planet from decay.

Headline : Alexander Ludwig Interview – The Seeker
By : Kyle Braun @ UGO

Back in May of this year, UGO traveled to Romania to get the early goods on The Seeker: The Dark is Rising. Despite the crazy heat wave that was sweeping across Europe at the time, a cinematic concoction of Romanian crews and English workers pressed on to build the set of the film’s Great Hall, the location of the epic battle between the forces of good and evil. Standing at the front line was Canadian-born Alexander Ludwig, who plays Will Stanton, the one character that can save the world.

At 13, Ludwig was like a kid in a candy store amid the many larger than life set pieces. With his parents close at hand, Alexander walked around the set with a smile and confidence you don’t see every day. Having landed a lead role in The Seeker: The Dark is Rising, Ludwig is now poised to join the elite club of child actors as the film readies for its big screen release. While the workers hammered away on the sets, Alexander caught up to us for an interview about the The Seeker: The Dark is Rising and what it’s like to be a young actor in such a huge film.

Alexander Ludwig and Anna Sophia Robb star as Sara and Seth in “Race to Witch Mountain” I had the chance to preview the DVD, which is being released on August 4th, and enjoyed seeing the film again, as well as all the bonus features.

Did you have fun working with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson on your new movie, Race To Witch Mountain?
AnnaSophia: Definitely! Dwayne is so cool.
Alexander: He is such a professional. He’s unbelievable! He’s such a good guy – and he’s always on time.
AnnaSophia: Dwayne is very supportive, but the thing I love about him the most is the way that he really respects everybody on the set. He’s a very giving guy.

AnnaSophia Robb and Alexander Ludwig laugh with each other, recalling some of their favorite memories from Race To Witch Mountain as they take a walk around the Disney Studios earlier this year.

JustJaredJr.com caught up with AnnaSophia and Alexander to chat about the DVD release of their adventure movie. The two dished on sci-fi conventions, costar Dwayne Johnson and taking up kickboxing. Check it:

JJJ: What were your favorite scenes to film?

AnnaSophia Robb: One of my favorite scenes to shoot was probably when we filmed in the convention center. Most of the cast was there so we had a great time and there was all sorts of cool costumes and we all had a great time.

JJJ: Did you want to dress up in any of the cool costumes that you saw at the sci-fi convention?

AR: I did! I really wished they put us in some crazy get up. Alexander wanted to be a python.

Alexander Ludwig: My favorite scenes were the ones that AnnaSophia wasn’t in. (laughs)

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.
