Aliens in the Attic Interview

Aliens in the Attic is set to open in a month, and I think there'll be a slew of media and PR as we get closer to July 31. But here's an interview from the MTV Movie Awards with Rob and Carter Jenkins that should tide you over until then.

Here's the transcript in case you can't watch the video:

Transcript: Aliens in the Attic-Robert Hoffman, Carter Jenkins Interview
Rebecca Murray from About.com Hollywood Movies at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards.

Carter Jenkins and Robert Hoffman - Aliens in the Attic

So you're in a summer movie together?

Robert Hoffman: "That's right."

Tell me about it.

Robert Hoffman: "It's called Aliens in the Attic. It's a really fun like family adventure comedy about a bunch of little scary aliens trying to take over the world and we have to fight them off. Ashley Tisdale's in the film too."

Okay, scary little aliens - describe these guys for me.

Carter Jenkins: "They're green. They're CGI."

Robert Hoffman: "Armed."

Carter Jenkins: "Arms as in weapons or?"

Robert Hoffman: "Uh huh. Arms."

Carter Jenkins: "They also have - a couple of them have four arms, I think. I don't know. When we shot the movie, they were not there. They are computerized."

How tough is it to work opposite something that's not there?

Carter Jenkins: "It's interesting. You have to use your imagination. It feels a little funny sometimes because you're reacting to nothing. You feel a little silly sometimes, but when they put it in and you see it put together with aliens, then it looks great."

Did they have something there in place of the aliens?

Carter Jenkins: "Yeah, a lot of times they'd have a stick if it's like moving so we'd all have the same eye line, or a piece of tape. They did have the little model aliens that they lined up the shots with for the CGI shots, but we didn't get to really react to it. They're just dolls."

So the tone of it is family so we're not going to be freaked out by these aliens?

Robert Hoffman: "No, it's all fun. It's a little bit of scary, but that's not the gig. The gig is fun and funny."

Carter Jenkins: "Kids and families will enjoy it."

Robert Hoffman: "They end up controlling my mind and I turn into this crazy zombie thing. And then they get ahold of the controller and make me do all kinds of crazy moves and stuff like that."

Did I hear you're also doing something with MTV?

Robert Hoffman: "No. I mean it's something that's trying to happen. There's nothing to be said yet."

Rob Hoffman at the Playboy Mansion

Rob attended an event at the Playboy Mansion called the 2nd Annual Financially Hung Game Day on 2/1/2009. Financially Hung is a company that puts together events where regular people can pay a fee to party with celebrities and hang out at places like the Playboy Mansion, or get discovered, or just feel better about themselves by tweeting about their escapades. Judging from the photos, this event appeared to be just paparazzi bait. And Rob isn't one to turn down a party, is he?

Here's a photo of Rob from the event. [Again, love the hair off the forehead Rob!]

Random Rob Hoffman

I think this is the kind of stuff Rob wants to do for his MTV Pilot.





warning! foul language and partial nudity (just Rob) in this one!

Rob and his Good Buddy K-Fed

While Rob was in New Zealand filming Aliens in the Attic, he stopped by a radio station called The Edge to do an on-air interview. I don't know what he said, but apparently, he said some disparaging remarks about Kevin Federline because it appeared on a page on their website they like to call Scandal.

So, unfortunately, I can't seem to be able to click on the AUDIO button which will allow me to hear what he had to say, but here's the text that they tease you with:

Yesterday we had Robert Hoffman III in studio. He’s the star of Step Up 2: The Streets and the new movie being filmed in NZ that Ashley Tisdale is starring in. He’s a dancer and after the interview, I asked him if he had ever met Kevin Federline….

Robert and Kevin were both in "You Got Served" so I know they've met, but I can't tell you what he thinks of the guy.

Behind the Scenes with ACDC and Rob Hoffman

Behind the scenes footage of the ACDC (Adam/Chu Dance Crew: Adam Sevani and Jon Chu) who are currently battling it out on youtube with the M&M Dance Crew (Miley Cyrus and her friend Mandy). Look for Rob coming in through the door at 2:00 and he talks a bit with the cameraman and another dancer. Not sure, but I think this was behind the scenes during the web commercial for SU2 that Jon Chu shot with Madd Chadd.

Is he talking about this? Or is he referring to this? And quite possibly--but I doubt it--he could be talking about this. Who knows?

"Train your ass off." - Robert Hoffman

Here's an interview with Rob for performersecrets.com. I've said it before, and I'll say it again... He's very articulate and very well-spoken. I like that he's really pushing a good strong work ethic because I think a lot of young people are lacking that these days and they just expect to be handed all the swag they can carry because they feel like they're entitled to it or something. So, good message Rob. "Train your ass off." I like that.
