More Tribeca Pics
Anna was a busy girl yesterday. Her and Andrew were on the CW Morning News in New York, then later Anna was on FUSE’s The Sauce and then they attended the Chanel dinner and the after party for Gardener of Eden.
The Sauce interview can be found here, thanks to RetroSkank.Com for posting the video since I was unable to record it because I had work.
I will be adding more images to those events later today, so keep an eye out for that. I also added a scan of Anna’s page in the current issue of Jane.
The premiere of Blue State at Tribeca is tonight, which I am very excited for even though I live on the wrong coast.

ComingSoon.Net Interview
Every once in a while, a movie comes along where the chemistry between the lead actor and actress is so strong that it’s hard to believe that they’re not a couple in real life. That’s certainly the case with Marshall Lewy’s Blue State, premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival. In the romantic political comedy, Breckin Meyer plays John Logue, a left-wing political blogger and John Kerry supporter, who leaves the country in protest of the Bush reelection, while Anna (X-Men) Paquin plays his beautiful and boisterous travel partner who has her own reasons for going to Canada.
Blue State is very much in line with other movies that have played at past Tribeca Film Festivals, including political films like The F Word and the Al Franken doc God Said, as well as road movies like Transamerica and last year’s Snow Cake.
One quickly realizes why it’s rarely a good idea to do a phone interview with two people at once, as Breckin and Anna spent a bit of time catching up before ComingSoon.net jumped in with a few questions about the movie they made together. (And if it feels like there’s any sort of sexual tension in this interview, than it certainly wasn’t coming from us!)
ComingSoon.net: Anna, you’re a producer on this movie, so did you know Marshall beforehand or how did this script come your way?
Anna Paquin: Yeah, I did. Marshall and my brother went to college together, so they’ve been buddies for a really long time. I knew him through my brother, and the script came about, and we all decided we wanted to do it, and so we did. (giggles)

Page Six Blurb
AT age 11 Anna Paquin won Best Sup porting Actress in Jane Campion’s “The Piano” with Holly Hunter and Harvey Keitel. She says: “That was 1993. I’ve grown up a lot since, but it’s always what everyone asks about. I’m now close to Holly Hunter’s age. I could play my own character’s mother. It felt weird when I saw it recently on DVD.”
Today, along with her financier brother, she’s a first-time producer and debuting Friday at the Tribeca Film Festival. “Blue State” is a political romantic comedy about a Dem who follows his promise to live abroad if Dubya gets re-elected. Anna, who plays the girlfriend, says: “A writer friend from college took the idea to my brother, and that’s how it began. It’s a small independent film, and I can’t even say what it cost. I was nervous about producing, but I have a high threshold of fear and figured, ‘Well, this either works or doesn’t.’ But I’d rather be scared than not to have tried.”
About whether her face is recognizable to fans today, it’s, “I don’t want people looking and then having to give them my résumé. So I walk really fast. I blend into a crowd.”

The Reeler has a nice interview up with Anna about Blue State and there’s even a small mention of Margaret in there. Here’s a snippet of it:
STV: Were the film’s politics — to whatever degree they’re emphasized — part of the story’s appeal to you?
AP: You’d have to have been living under a rock to not have some interest in politics since the 2000 election. It wasn’t like we were trying to make a movie that was deeply political or had any strong message of that variety, but do I think there’s a lot of humor to be found in both sides of that debate? Absolutely. That was part of its appeal.
