Premiere: Disturbia

It was a Thursday
night in Downtown Los Angeles and 
it was my turn to be voyeur. With
the upcoming release of the DISTURBIA
on DVD (read our DVD review HERE),
and the opening day of the X Games, it seemed surprisingly fitting
to have a party to celebrate both. Even
though I’m not really sure the connection made but hey, it’s a
party, so who cares? So there
we were at The Standard Hotel waiting on the Red Carpet for the
celebrities to arrive. Although
Mr. Shia LaBeouf was absent from the event (off shooting INDIANA
JONES 4), there was still plenty of fun to be had.

Not surprisingly,
the first to arrive was the incredibly talented director, D.J.
Caruso, with his children along for the ride.
I really can’t say enough about how talented this dude is
and how nice it was to see him again.
He is just a decent human being and is absent any pretension
at all. He’s also an awesome
dad. It’s great to see
DISTURBIA become the success it did, he really deserves it.
Congrats as always buddy and good luck with the new films…
yep, he’s back with Shia and Steven Spielberg as producer with
EAGLE EYE. And of course, it
seems he will be directing Y: THE LAST MAN.
Check him out below and see him talk about his excitement
with the box office those first few weekends with DISTURBIA.

A couple of the
cast members of DISTURBIA who aren’t named Shia also showed up and
not surprisingly, they also seemed pretty damn stoked about the
success of the movie. Both Carrie
Anne-Moss and Sarah Roemer took the time to chat with
JoBlo.com
about working with D.J. and Shia, and the success that came with it.
Carrie was not surprised at all and this lovely woman should
know all about success. Her
work in THE MATRIX trilogy and MEMENTO have certainly made for a
pretty nifty career. And as
you can see below, both of the ladies were very lovely.

Also basking in the
glow of the party was the extremely beautiful Natassia Malthe
who can soon be seen in the new film from After Dark called SKINWALKERS.
You can also catch her in BLOODRAYNE 2 and the upcoming film
including SEX AND DEATH 101 alongside Winona Ryder.
She is really a stunning lady and it was a pleasure to chat
with her especially since she seems to be taking on a bunch of genre
pics. There is something
really cool about ladies who love horror. 
Here, she talks about working with Uwe Boll and the film that
may change the way people think about him, POSTAL, and of course the
projects mentioned above.

And finally,
speaking of horror… or possibly DUMPLINGS, as in THREE EXTREMES
style Dumplings, I got a chance to talk to the always enigmatic Bai
Ling. This has to be one
of the busiest actresses ever. You
will be able to see her in a few flicks coming to a theatre near
you, including THE GENE GENERATION, A BEAUTIFUL LIFE, 62 PICKUP and
RAZOR. She is working on so
many films across continents that I’m not sure how she finds time
to do anything else. Oh
yeah… she also wrote a book called “Nipples” that may reveal
all you ever wanted to know about her… well, you know.
So check her out below and maybe you can learn more about Bai
Ling’s nipples.

All in all, there
were some fun folks to talk to including some of the kick ass dudes
who risk life and limb in competition at the X Games. 
It was a pleasant night of chatting it up even if we didn’t
make it up to the roof where the actual party was going on.
So for those of you who haven’t, make sure you check out
DISTURBIA on DVD today and enjoy.
