Everyone is eagerly anticipating the trailer for Ridley Scott's "Alien: Genesis" which of course stars Michael Reese Meyers and the word is the trailer will debut at Apple.com Thursday. As a part of the promotion for the film, the cast was interviewed for the upcoming January 2012 issue of Empire magazine and here are some excerpts from Michael's part:ON WHAT MADE HIM WANT TO JOIN ALIEN: GENESIS CAST: "It's Ridley Scott. It's Sci-Fi. Horror. Space. Anya Camilla Bella. Charlize Theron. Bradley Cooper. Idrs Elba. 3D. What else needs to be said? The story is great. The twists are great. It's dark. Smart. Scary. It will definitely have people talking. I can't wait for everyone to see it."
ON THE NEXT BOND FILM: "The script is really great. It's almost done. Takes Bond back to the 60's. Style wise. They are looking at a real prestigious director. This next one will really delve into Bond's psychological state now that he has had his heart broken. This is the turning point. When you watch the Bourne films or even some of the Bond films, they show you how lonely secret agents are. They have no family. No friends. Their whole life revolves around getting a mission, getting whatever money, weapons, and other equipment they need, going to some strange city in some foreign country, sitting in a hotel, living off takeout and Vodka and fucking some random hooker, waiting until they get the call to go kill who they need to kill. In Quantum (of Solace) we saw Bond as a young guy who never had parents who was still eager for love and family and now he is starting to see that maybe that is not meant for him. He starts to shut down emotionally. He starts to become a guy who only sees women as good for one thing. In this next one, he meets a woman who truly wants to love him. The Bond in Quantum would have left it all for her. This new Bond has trust issues and doesn't want to let her in. He is conflicted. It's a great place, emotionally, to take Bond, that I don't think we've seen before."
ON HIS DATING LIFE: "I'm like of two minds about it right now. On the one hand I feel like after everything I've been through I have seen and done it all so what's the point. Since Mel I been numb, no one has really excited me, truly excited me. Other than Kathleen Roberts. She was special. But Mel was like this amazing puzzle or rubix cube that I wanted to solve. I think alot of people who fall for a bad boy or bad girl, this is apart of the appeal. But the thing is, only one person in this world has the key. Only one person is meant to solve them. And sometimes, sadly, as much as you want it to be, that person might not be you. And you gotta accept that. I feel like a zombie sleep walking through life, waiting for someone to wake me up and shake me out of my funk. (Someone who) really challenges me, excites me, impresses me. Sometimes women in your life can spoil you and you get stuck wanting someone to match up to them. But another part of me just wants the comfort of having a girlfriend, a wife. Having that special someone to talk to everyday at the end of the day. A true partner that you can rely on. The search can get exhausting. I get really envious of the dynamic I see a husband and wife have. How they make decisions together and the teamwork vibe they have. You truly aren't complete until you find your soulmate. That's how I feel. I was joking with a friend the other day, how I might do The Bachelor, haha. Try something different. We'll see."
ON WHAT MADE HIM STORM OFF THE DEVIL'S DOUBLE SET: "Oliver Stone and I have clashed alot while making this film. He is a hard person to work for. He demands alot but he can also be very indecisive and I prefer a director who sticks to one thing that he wants instead of changing his mind all the time. I play two characters which is hard enough and I respect Stone's body of work and knowledge of film and I hope we can pull it together. That day he was just pissing me off and I threw a temper tantrum and walked off. Almost quit the film. We had to stop shooting for a week so I could cool off. I was ready to knock him out."
