    Ender’s Game Cast Watch #9 – Teen Choice Awards

    Hey peeps,

    it’s been a while since I did a regular Cast Watch. So let’s cover some ground!

    1. TEEN CHOICE AWARDS

    Last Sunday (August 11, 2013) the annual Teen Choice Awards were held at Universal Studios LA. Abigail Breslin and Hailee Steinfeld presented an award together, and they looked stunning.

    If you really dig Hailee’s outfit and are interested in her nail art, here is a pretty little article about it.
    During the presentation, the girls seem to have given it their all.

    I had thought that this pose was exclusive to German pseudo-folk singers whose dirndl dresses are made by their mothers, but apparently not. Afterwards, Hailee went to thank her outfitters for her awesome look, while Abigail seemed preoccupied with shoe woes. I commiserate.

    Aramis Knight and Khylin Rhambo attended some of the pre- and after-parties of the event. On Thursday, August 8, both went to the Style Lounge/Gifting Suite event held by Red Carpet Events LA in honor of the Teen Choice Awards. Here, Aramis talked to Red Carpet Report about Ender’s Game. We posted his interview earlier HERE.

    On Friday, August 9, KIIS-FM held a Teen Choice Awards gifting suite and pre-party in West LA. Aramis met up with his friend Dylan Sprayberry there. Look at the coolness!

    On Sunday, August 11, Aramis and Dylan went to the Teen Choice Awards after-party. Nice print!

    2. ASA BUTTERFIELD X PLUS Y

    While the LA kids were partying, Asa Butterfield was busy shooting a movie. And with busy I mean BUSY! Pick up at 6, working from 7 to 7 – it’s a hard life.

    And not only that, the work seems to go on after hours, as some instagram images from during and after filming contest to. For instance, this one’s titled 10:26.

    Since the young star is very busy, he doesn’t have much time to tweet. Some of the kids on the film, however, seem to be willing to share the occasional behind-the-scenes/late night rehearsal pic. Tumblr users lovezucks and elinabfb have been tracking down some of those pics to share with the general, Asa Butterfield-obsessed public.

    3. MISCELLANEOUS

    In other news, Aramis Knight hung out with fellow child actors Danika Yarosh, Mason Cook, and Jadin Gould at Olivia Holt’s Sweet Sixteen, as wells as with his buddy Khylin Rhambo for some knar skateboarding session prior to the Teen Choice Awards.

    Khylin Rhambo, after some contemplation (check his Twitter), has apparently decided to go back to a regular high school instead of continuing home schooling. Good Luck!

    And finally: Listen Up, New Yorkers! Abigail Breslin is to perform at The Bitter End on Monday, August 13, from 7 pm!

  • Ender’s Game Cast Watch #7 – Power of Youth

    Ender’s Game Cast Watch #7 – Power of Youth

     

    This week’s cast watch mostly revolves around yesterday’s Variety Power of Youth event. Abigail Breslin was honored as one of five young performers for her involvement in Project Sunshine, a charity for children with disabilities, HIV and other special needs. Here is Abigail with her co-honorees Jake Austin, Quvenzhane Wallis, Nina Dobrev and Tyler Posey.

    At the event, Abigail met up with her August: Osage County costar Dermot Mulroney …

    … and probably with some of her Ender’s Game buddies, because it seems that Aramis Knight and Khylin Rhambo were also in attendance. Khylin tweeted this “epic” picture of himself with Percy Jackson‘s Brandon T. Jackson and The Maze Runner‘s Dexter Darden.

    Aramis met up with some friends and then posed with Tyler Posey (pun intended), tweeting: “Everyone thinks I look like this guy.” I wonder why everyone thinks that … oh wait, BECAUSE YOU DO!

    Apparently, Abigail Breslin played matchmaker for Aramis Knight at some point around the time of the event. Hmm, very cryptic.

    Moises also spoke to Papermag about The Kings of  Summer. He briefly mentions Ender’s Game, saying:

    It was honestly one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had. It was inspiring to see the professionalism. The cinematography! The special effects look amazing. I’m excited. I’ve gotten to work with the most amazing actors and the most amazing child actors right now.

    Hailee Steinfeld has been spending her time filming the Civil War drama The Keeping Room (with Sam Worthington) and photographing cows in Romania.

    Hailee Steinfeld was at an event with her brother Griffin tonight helping to support Our Military Kids and Ender’s Game fan Hannah asked her cousin Sarah to head there to meet her in the hopes of getting an autographed book and photo.

    As you can see below, Hailee signed it with the name Petra under her own. No doubt one of many to come!

    Here’s a bit from Sarah on getting to meet Hailee:

    It was so great getting to meet Hailee! She was super awesome and incredibly nice! She took the time to talk with my daughter and sign everything I brought. Such a great experience!

    Sounds like it was fun! Here’s a photo of Hannah’s signed book, with the phrase “Shoot straight”.
