Anna Kendrick Is Approaching A-List Status
The movie industry is abuzz with praise for Anna Kendrick. She co-stars with George Clooney in the highly anticipated film, Up In The Airand just nabbed best-supporting actress from the National Board Of Review. MTV.com's Hollywood Crush states that if you nab an NBRaward, your odds of winning an Oscar are pretty good. Case-In-Point: NBR's best picture winner has also gone on to score an Oscar the past two years.
But why did Air director Jason Reitman cast Kendrick? Certainly not because of her role in Twilight. The vampire flick wasn't exactly a hotbed for talent, according to Reitman. He referred to the movie as a "Graveyard of acting." I'm just going to step to the side and make way for the faux-fanged teenagers with torches. Shoot, some of them are foaming at the mouth!
Reitman knew Kendrick was perfect for the role when he saw her in 2007's Rocket Science. Kendra was witty, sharp and reminded him of a 1940s actress. He knew then that she could go toe-to-toe withGeorge Clooney.
"This was Anna's role," he explained. "I wrote this for Anna. As soon as I saw Rocket Science and I recognized her voice, I started writing for her."
