Cinema Society, ‘Details’, & DKNY Men Host New York Premiere of ‘Brothers’

SVA Theater & Abe & Arthur’s. November 22, 2009. By Bennett Marcus

Have you ever been involved in a love triangle, like in the movie? “No. That would be fun.” —Natalie Portman

Jessica Lange

Did this role change your views on the war? “I don’t think it changed my view on the war at all. I spent a lot of time with people in the armed forces, so it definitely humanized my viewpoint on it.” —Tobey Maguire

Sam Shepard

Amanda Peet

Did Natalie Portman try to convert you into a vegan? “Yeah, and I did it for the time I was with her. I pretended I was a vegan, but I was eating burgers at night. I was eating sushi. I was eating anything I could get.” —Jim Sheridan, Director

Stephen Dorff

Have you ever been mixed up in a crazy love triangle? “I think everyone is probably mixed in the middle of a love triangle with me, myself, and I right now.” —Terrence Howard

Sebastian Stan

Emma Roberts

You play one of the Afghani fighters who capture Tobey Maguire. Did he climb up walls or anything Spidey-ish? “No, no. In this one I was the Spider-Man who is falling down the wall.” —Navid Negahban

Cheyenne Jackson

Ang Lee

Did you get excited that the same guy who played Spider-Man was playing your dad? “My dad told me that! I’m like, oh, Spider-Man, cool! We have the ‘Spider-Man 1’ and ‘2’ movies. I’m not allowed to see the ‘3’ yet.” —Taylor Geare

Katharine McPhee

Kevin Connolly

Is the success of Paranormal Activity, a homemade movie, good for the movie industry? “I think it’s great. Any time that you have an anomaly like that, it breathes new life into the business. It was totally unexpected, and when something can do business of that size, I think it gives inspiration to people to go outside of the box.” —Ryan Kavanaugh, Producer

Harvey Weinstein & Georgina Chapman

Bill Pullman

Now that you played Tobey Maguire’s daughter, did you hit him up for a role in ‘Spider-Man 4’ or ‘5’? “I don’t think I asked him. Let’s just hope I stay in his memory. He’s awesome.” —Bailee Madison

Agyness Deyn

Tucker Tooley

How do you get inspired to write a song about a guy who gets captured in Afghanistan and everyone thinks he’s dead, but he’s not? “Well, you know, really it’s simple, it’s a love story set against a struggle, which is a theme we’ve touched on many times before. A lot of our songs sort of have that duality, so it wasn’t such a leap for us.” —The Edge, U2

Geoffrey Fletcher

Justin Guarini

Do you have any sibling rivalry in your life? “Oh, yeah. I have two older sisters, I’m the baby, so I got beat up a lot. I remember going to see ET with my sister, and at the end I was crying, of course. And she thought it was stupid. So that was a cold, rude awakening.” —David Benioff, Screenwriter

Kelly Rutherford

Christian Siriano

Do you miss any of the perks that you used to have at Condé Nast? “Um, I’ll show you my car key. I drove myself here tonight from Westchester and parked on the street. I miss the car service. I was lucky enough to get a spot.” —Dan Peres, Editor-in-Chief, ‘Details’
