OlderCate Blanchett: Brad Pitt is Tireless
Oscar-winning actress Cate Blanchett was just interviewed by Reuters about her role as Brad Pitt’s soulmate in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, out in theaters now. Here are the highlights:
This is your second film with Brad Pitt after co-starring with him in Babel” Is there anything noteworthy about working with him that the moviegoer might be interested in knowing/ He is unbelievably committed to what he does. … In both films, there’s been a sense that he’s asked really difficult questions of the film before he’s committed, and he sort of tends to be, I suppose from the outside, a little bit reticent to jump in. But that’s only because he wants to know if he’s going to commit 100 percent, he wants to know that the film’s going to be as committed as he is. And so I really admire him for that. He’s really tireless.
You’re not a dancer by trade, but is it true that you had some childhood dance instruction? Yeah, I studied ballet, but also in drama school the most powerful training for me was the movement training. And look, if I had my way over again, I’d be a Butoh dancer (contemporary dance form originating in Japan), or I’d desperately try and finagle my way into working with (modern dance choreographer) ‘Pina’ Bausch. So, (in Benjamin Button) I worked with Michelle Johnston, who was the choreographer.
BTW, if you haven’t seen Button yet. Run to your local movie theater and see it!!! It’s fantastic.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, to all my fellow Jolie-Pitt fans out there.
#35, don’t try to tell Jared how to run his blog. Get you own damn blog.
This is a thread about Cate Blanchett, so what’s with all the “Jolie-Pitt” pod-people?
Anyway, Cate is a wonderful actress and I love her in everything she’s in. Very classy.
an oldie….PUL-LEEEZ believe me…. I AM NOT WHO YOU THINK I AM…and I am certainly not an apologist for ‘Tiny Tom’ as you call him (LOL!)…
Please stop questioning my loyalty! Dont you see me whiping the floor with old CANE!…leave me to it, will ya?
..and BDJ….I am DEFINITELY NOT THAT WORM ‘INFAMOUS!…I’ve appeared periodically on a thread to kick his Bu TT as well!…only when I’m in the mood, and when a poster especially gets on my nerves with their subtle zingers at the Jolie-Pitts!…LOVE THEM!!!
…hmmmm, I guess I ran little CANE back to his DOG-HOUSE!! hehe!

Fug face infamous is at it again. Smearing the fans and the Jolie-Pitts. Just Jared needs to get some controls in place in 2009 to prevent all the name changing, using fans names to smear and post malicious links. Just a suggestion for 2009.
================
Totally agree. I just wrote Jared a note. Hope he listens.
I have to say I saw this movie this past Sunday and I LOVED it! When I saw it was 3 hours long, I was a little leary….that’s a long movie to sit through! But while I was watching it, I never once thought about the time, and when it was over…I found myself thinking how fast it went by. The casting was brilliant, and each actor brought such depth to their character. Best film I have seen in a LONG time. Brad Pitt was awesome in it.
That said, JENS BARREN WOMB…you give the Jolie-Pitt fans a bad name. I happen to like Brad and Angelina, and think they are a great couple….but you need to ease up a little bit. Unless you know Brad and Angelina personally, I think you are getting a too worked up over a simple comment about some actor. Just my opinion…..
…I guess my work here is done….
J-P’S 4 LIFE!!!!!!!!!
…up up and away!!!……(I fly off into the sunset….awaiting my next battle with fans of the pasty faced NAKED big-nosed wannabee TV hack bitter ex)…
Peace.

If you find them boring, why are you here?
I love Cate.. She is a wonderful actress and she and Brad work well together. I don’t listen a great deal to Tab mag. the majority of stuff written in them are lies. But because most people in our country can not think for themselves, they tend to believe anything and everything printed or blogged. It would be great if we used our common sense and realized that the purpose of the magazines are to sell. Whether it be lie or not. In regards to what Cate said about Brad… I chose to believe her. She actually knows the man. SHE has met him.. So I find her words and opinions more credible then those of a magazine or of people who spend their time trashing individuals they do not know, just for the sake of trashing them. I saw TCCoBB twice.. and could see it again. A wonderful movie. Brad was great and so was Cate. Although I have to admit that Tilda and Taraji were my favs (next to Brad).
We are now in the year 2009. It is beyond sad that some people on this thread have decided to continue the childish behavior that has been going on for 5 years now. That is as long as the war in Iraq. Brad Pitt is an adult who gets to decide on his life.. just as we all do. It would be great to see this stupid stuff end once and for all. If you don’t like him fine, your right…. You should then stop commenting on his life… Yes HIS LIFE… and at the the end of the day… Is it any of our business anyway.. And regardless of what he does or does not do… How will it affect our lives? Let’s move on for goodness sake.
Bdj, they work in tandem. Cook and Fagmous. One plays Cane, the other Barren Womb, and there you have the whole show.
I am sure that Just Jared is open to suggestions on making his blog better. It is the fans and people who visit that make the blog a success. It is only a suggestion. There is nothing wrong with having a registration system or forum. I have been visiting since 2005 and since this thread falls under Brad Pitt’s name, who I am a fan of as well as Cate, I offer a comment. Peace to all.
Office fan….
I respect your comments, but you dont understand how vicious the comments against Angie and Brad get in here…
…and I am just an answer to the Maniston fans who say racist things about Brads adoptive children, Belittle Brads intelligence and paternity to the kids, and call Angelina a homewrecker…
…Whether you realize it or not, there are fringes on every group, …I am answering the fringe ppl who choose to call Zaharra a ‘monkey’, and say that Shiloh is ‘autistic’, and who wish harm on the Jolie-Pitts in general…
As fans, we all have our way of dealing with trolls….anyone who attacks Brad/Angie/kids will get the same ignorance they are dishing out! I tolerate it when I go to other sites, but this is OUR site.
If you disagree with it…fair enough, but dont think that everyone responds to ignorance like you do. Brad and Angie are doing great things in the world, and they deserve to be defended….the way X is made out to be a saint is sickening…..and I am the counter punch to that.
nuff said.
This isn’t a BP thread,why post under it, Brody jenner was filed under BP and no one posted under it,and jared is not going to have a registration system, he wants the hits and the back and forth with the trolls bascially gave him just jared jr, and he will continue this until the JP fans STOP this stupid 4yr battle with the trolls who bait you all the time,and please save the pleas to jared he’s laughing to the bank.
The troll working for Scientology Tom has tried 2 tactics (that I know of) on JJ since this morning. The first one on the Brad thread, smearing Brad, and now on this thread to rile up the JA’s fans. Each time I called him out and he had the same kind of retreat. Nice try, but I have said it before, and I’ll say it again, I will never contribute my hard earned money to the CULT of Scientology. I am not a fan of JA, but I’ll go see her movie before I see one starring a Scientologist.
Queen Bee — fancy yourself much. What a twit you are trying to convince us that you are intelligent. You would have been wiser to just print the review rather than attempt to wow us with your 6th grade writing.
i think jan. 1 2004 was the first day of shooting Mr. and Mrs.
Smith HAPPY ANNIVERSITY
Hapi New Year bdj just continue what you’re doin bringing good news about Joliepitts.
This web site would be dead with out the back and forth bickering. It is a known fact that if there are no posters who disagree with the sucking up to Brad and Angie then the so called fans go after each other. They thrive on trying to one up each other. It must give them a sence of self worth to see if they can be the foulest, meanest and nastiest poster. Doesn’t matter to them if they are trashing one of their own as long as they can sit back and keep rereading their own post to see how clever they think they are and furiously scanning the thread hoping and praying that someone has commented - either to pat them on the back or take them to task. If they can’t get their fix here they go off to FF or some of the other sites where they can join Cliniqua and Guli in their mental illness.

#44, because it’s a CATE BLANCHETT thread, you loon. Surprise, surprise, not everybody drools over the Pitt. Now go change your panties, you numbskull.
Cate is in TCCBB, and so any news pertained to that fact is going to possibliy include mentions of BP just like her interview did, and since that is the case I WILL now bring up that this morning on one of the network shows, a majore critic was asked which movie out of all did he recommend to see and Oscar pick, and he picked BB as the one to see, and see prefar on the bigscreen, and he pick Brad and Cate for best actor and actress. He also said Brad is this generations Paul Newman. He suggest that like Newman, it took a while for people to see past the face to the actor.
@55, agreed, the fact that their fans are such twits turns me off to them. I can’t see them being proud of having such a pathetic fan base.
Cate is a real and down to earth person in the same vein as AJ. She does not like HW either and keeps her distance ergo keeping her objectivity and integrity.
I’m sure when Brad worked with Cate in Babel he admired her substance and talent and intelligence. Then he went home to HW fluff and vanity with little talent or intelligence. So when he met AJ and found in her many of the same qualities as Cate, I think he came to realize there were ‘real women’ out there that could match his depth of character and need for more meaning in life other than the HW lifestyle that leads to nowhere …except maybe Cabo.
Cate and AJ became the new benchmark for women in his eyes I personally believe.
wow….. crazy people with hangovers!
