Ellen Page Talks The East, X-Men: Days of Future Past, and More

Opening this weekend, in limited release, is director/co-writer Zal Batmanglij?s (Sound of My Voice) eco-terrorist thriller The East.? Brit Marling co-wrote the script with Batmanglij and stars as an undercover operative for an elite private intelligence firm who infiltrates a domestic terrorist organization in order to protect her corporate clientele.? Once she starts living as part of the anarchist collective, though, she finds that her loyalties aren?t as solid as she believed them to be and becomes conflicted when she starts falling for the charismatic leader (Alexander Skarsgard).? The impressive ensemble cast also includes Ellen Page, Patricia Clarkson, and Julia Ormond, and you can click here to watch the trailer and here is Matt?s review.

Last week I landed an extended video interview with Ellen Page.? She talked about ?wanting to work with Marling and Batmanglij, the parallels of the film to real world issues, whether or not the script changed during production, the process of shooting the film in only four weeks, premiering at Sundance, and much more.? In addition, Page talked about the popularity of Inception and if she?s still asked about it, does she censor herself on Twitter, X-Men: Days of Future Past and having Bryan Singer tweet out a picture of her on set, upcoming projects like Freeheld and the video game Beyond: Two Souls, doing a voice on Family Guy, and more.? Hit the jump to watch.
