YOUNG ADULT reunites Jason Reitman, Academy Award® nominated director of JUNO, and Academy Award® winning screenwriter, Diablo Cody.
This weekend I will be attending press conferences for the films HUGO and YOUNG ADULT. To be honest, I am not a huge fan of press conferences. I much prefer 1:1 interviews since I like to have a conversation rather than just ask questions. Plus, I always get the feeling no one cares about the strange questions I come up with. That’s where you come in!
In the comments, post your questions for the cast & crew of either film. Press conferences can get pretty chaotic but I’ll try my best to get some of them answered. Check out the trailers below for some inspiration!

In the epic action-adventure SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN, Kristen Stewart (Twilight) plays the only person in the land fairer than the evil queen (Oscar® winner Charlize Theron) who is out to destroy her. But what the wicked ruler never imagined is that the young woman threatening her reign has been training in the art of war with a huntsman (Chris Hemsworth, Thor) who was dispatched to kill her. Sam Claflin (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides) joins the cast as the prince long enchanted by Snow White’s beauty and power.

“Visionary filmmaker Ridley Scott returns to the genre he helped define, creating an original science fiction epic set in the most dangerous corners of the universe. The film takes a team of scientists and explorers on a thrilling journey that will test their physical and mental limits and strand them on a distant world, where they will discover the answers to our most profound questions and to life’s ultimate mystery.”
