AFI Festival ‘Haywire’ screening and star panel: videos, pics and reviews

The AFI fest’s secret screening took place yesterday and the film was none other than ‘Haywire’. It’s star, new action heroine Gina Carano, director Steven Soderbergh, noted actors Ewan McGregor and Michael Fassbender were the special guests on hand. “…A handsome, black-haired hardbody who wears an evening dress as easily as she does a hoodie, Carano exudes the sort of self-confidence and physical wherewithal that leaves no doubt she can prevail in any situation…In this, Haywire entirely and winningly succeeds…The script makes no attempt to assert its plausibility or realism; it is, instead, refreshingly frank about what it is, a simple, workable framework for the melees and mayhem…The fine use of locations, elegantly mobile shooting style and hair-trigger editing are all in line with what one expects from Soderbergh…The director shrewdly determined what she could and perhaps couldn’t do, and she delivered with a turn that makes other actresses who have attempted such roles, no matter how toned and buff they became, look like pretenders.” – Todd McCarthy (HollywoodReporter.com)                        (credit: JChap2, Lara, GGB, O_O, & swinjen) CLICK BELOW FOR:  VIDEO PART 2, MORE PICS & REVIEWS…

article: MMA Star Gina Carano on her First Acting Gig for Steven Soderbergh

 In the summer of 2009, after losing the first fight of her career, Gina Carano, a professional mixed martial artist, considered throwing in the towel. But at her agent’s insistence, the 29-year-old Texan agreed to meet with a director named Steven Soderbergh. “I had a black eye, and I didn’t want to see anyone,” she says. “Especially not a director who, I’m embarrassed to say, I hadn’t heard of before. He wanted to make a movie based on a female action person—‘star’ feels too weird to say—who would make these Hollywood stage fights look believable.”

another Co-star quote: Channing Tatum on Gina Carano

.  At first, Tatum didn’t like the idea  of being in a female (led) action movie. “I said (to my wife) find a girl who could whoop up on me…and they did. She’s great. For somebody that’s never acted before, she seemed like she had. She worked really hard. (click here for video interview including notes on Haywire) .

It’s like the real thing.”   source: News.Scotsman.com  (credit: Kej21) The venerable actor supports the Stand Up 2 Cancer organization as he is currently undergoing treatment for stage 4 throat cancer. We send our hope for all the ‘fighters’ of this disease.   Stand Up To Cancer is a new initiative created to accelerate groundbreaking cancer research that will get new therapies to patients quickly and save lives.

‘Haywire’ co-Star quotes: Michael Douglas, Channing Tatum, and Michael Fassbender on Gina Carano

“..Steven (Soderbergh) has discovered this Gina Carano who’s an ultimate fighter. She’s one of these ultimate fighters. She’s quite attractive and I think in the spirit of a super-action-Bruce Lee-as-a-leading-lady in a good story that he’s built around, but with action scenes that you don’t cutaway from. She gives as good as it takes. It’s a little disturbing to see a lady get hit in the mouth right on camera and then come back. It was pretty good… ( ManhattanMovieMag.com – 05/22)   “I did a Steven Soderbergh movie with mixed martial artist Gina Carano – she’s amazing.” (belfasttelegraph.co.uk – 03/31)       “She’s a cagefighter. She’s this Muay Thai expert amazing fighter, and very very pretty too. I checked her out on YouTube, and it’s like, holy sh*t.“ source: Cinemablend.com credit: Amber Rae
