noreply@blogger.com (Iris) — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 16:00:00 +0000

Brandon recently spoke with Press-Telegram, a Long Beach publication, about his role in the independent drama Lie to Me which premieres at the Newport Beach Film Festival on Saturday and the status of the "Superman Returns" sequel.

On "Lie to Me":

"It's an interesting date movie, maybe even an interesting first date. It puts it all out on the table and raises a lot of interesting subjects for people - things that are really important and what people my age are going through. Mainly, am I ready to commit to one person?"

On the SR sequel:

"Bryan was very open to communicating about the character and was very collaborative with me. We talked endlessly about the character and what he's going through. On set, we were on the same playing field. He's a genius and it's exciting to see him work. I think (`Superman Returns') is a beautiful film. I'm really, really proud of it and very excited to continue."

LTM director John Stewart Muller has provided br.c a PDF file from "944 Magazine" in which Brandon discusses LTM. View it in the gallery.
