Fans lined the street with signs for Alex O’Loughlin, who as you remember starred as Mick St. John in the short-lived television series MOONLIGHT. And when he arrived the fans chanted Alex over and over again. Going to the fans he signed autographs and took pictures.

Seen on the “white” carpet were the stars of the movie” Kate Beckinsale, Gabriel Macht, Tom Skerritt, Alex O’Loughlin, Graphic Novel creators Greg Rucka (Greg is also executive producer) and Steve Lieber, writers Jon and Erich Hoeber and Chad and Carey W.

Can you describe your characters? Who is Robert and who is Russell?


ALEX O'LOUGHLIN Russell is an Australian pilot who's based in the same base we meet all the characters, where they all live. He does fly-outs. He moves gears, scientific equipment, people, food and supplies. They have a string of pilots working down there. They sort of run their own schedule. As long as they get the work done, it doesn't really matter. He's an Aussie lad, he's a bit of a womanizer, he's got all these sort of fronts, that’s his way of portraying himself that is, that keeps everyone at arm's length, because essentially he has, like all the characters in the show, another agenda. He has an MO. In this very close-knit community, he does his best to keep everybody as far away from his business as he can.

Perché proprio questo film per il suo ritorno al cinema dopo la maternità?
«[...] perché[...] racconta una storia molto interessante, molto vera, molto attuale. [...] Forse perché ora sono madre anche io, forse perché sono arrivata a 40 anni e mi posso identificare con una coetanea che desidera avere figli, ho detto subito di sì».
Come è Zoe, il personaggio che interpreta?
«Una donna sicura di sé, indipendente, realizzata professionalmente[...]. Arrivata a un certo punto, si rende conto di non
aver trovato l'uomo che fa per lei, e decide di farsi lo stesso una famiglia».

Le assomiglia?
«Non direi. [...] Zoe sta bene anche da sola, e in questo non siamo affatto uguali. [...] Per altre cose, invece, siamo decisamente simili. Come me, Zoe è una donna che ama molto e molto si dà [...] Che sogna la carriera, l'indipendenza, il successo, e li persegue con determinazione».

And then I did a movie that I’m still working on right now that’s not wrapped yet, called “The Back-Up Plan”, and it’s a romantic comedy with Jennifer Lopez and Eric Christian Olsen — who’s also in “Fired Up” with me — and a guy named Alex O’Loughlin, who vampire fans would know him from “Moonlight”. It was kind of a short-lived show on CBS, but really good. I play the nemesis to J.Lo… that was interesting, the first day I met her I had to call her like fat… ’cause I play this really sweet hippie girl who used to date Alex O’Loughlin and now he’s seeing Jennifer Lopez’s character. I’m really sweet in front of him, but when I’m not in front of him, I’m evil. It’s a girl thing. But it was like, “Hi, Miss Lopez, superstar… I just call you fat”. But I get to have a lot of scenes with her, but it was really, really cool.

Just got this info straight from CBS Films. Alex plays Stan.

“The Back-up Plan” is a comedy that explores courtship, love, marriage and family “in reverse.”

After years of dating, Zoe (Jennifer Lopez) has decided waiting for the right one is taking too long. Determined to become a mother, she commits to a plan, makes an appointment and decides to go it alone. On the day of her artificial insemination, Zoe meets Stan – a man with real possibilities.

Trying to nurture a budding relationship and hide the early signs of pregnancy becomes a comedy of errors for Zoe and creates confusing signals for Stan. When Zoe nervously reveals the reason for her unpredictable behavior, Stan commits fully and says he’s in.

Queste informazioni vengono direttamente dalla CBS Films. Alex interpeterà Stan.

"The Buck-Up Plane" è una commedia che esplora il corteggiamento, l'amore, il matrimonio e la famiglia "al contrario".

Dopo anni di appuntamenti, Zoe (Jennifer Lopez) ha deciso che l'attesa per l'uomo ideale è stata troppo lunga. Determinata a diventare madre, oeganizza un piano, prende un appuntamento e decide di andare da sola. Il giorno della sua fecondazione artificiale, Zoe incontra Stan - un uomo con le giuste caratteristiche.

Cercando di coltivare un rapporto in erba e nascondere i primi segni di gravidanza diventa una commedia degli errori per Zoe e crea segnali confusi per Stan. Quando Zoe nervosamente rivela il motivo del suo comportamento imprevedibile, Stan s'impegna pienamente e dice di essere con lei.
