Not only was Jessica Biel a troublesome teenager, but she also happens to love working with weapons.
The Planet 51 actress recently signed up to appear in forthcoming movie remake The A-Team and is enjoying getting to grips with the action scenes.
“It’s going really, really well. I’m getting to work a lot with weapons again, which I haven’t done in a long time. We’ve got a really interesting tone going on. I was a little concerned at first about whether we were going to be really cheesy or super dark but I think we’ve found a lot of humor, at the same time that it’s quite emotional with some dramatic moments.”
The actress also admitted she found working on The Texas Chain-saw Massacre “intense” and admits is caused her to “freak-out.”
“The Texas Chain-saw Massacre was one of the hardest experiences for me, creatively and emotionally. It was intense because I was at this high level of freak out for about a month. It was just so not of this world.”

Robert Downey Jr. Wants Violence

Robert Downey Jr. says he has a good day when he gets to beat people up.
The actor urged writers and the stunt department of Iron Man 2 to give his character more action scenes because they are his favorite to film.
“The action’s certainly got bigger because I went to do Sherlock Holmes, which was a real adventure. So coming back into this I really challenged our stunt team to get our hands dirty a little more because I was still kind of into that… I love it so much. There is no better day that I can have than one where I beat people up or get thrown around. I just love it. It’s supposed to be safe, but it’s a little more than acting so it’s really fun.”

Will They Be Fantastic a Second Time Around?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: 20th Century Fox, Action, Adaptation, Sequels, Casting, Rumors, Upcoming Releases
This year’s summer blockbusters promise more thrills, more action, more big-budget comic book screen adaptations. Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is one of the most anticipated of these, scheduled for release June 15, 2007. The full ensemble will return to reprise their roles, even villainous Dr. Doom (who will have spent the past two years presumed dead). This sequel will introduce fans to Doug Jones as the Silver Surfer/Norrin Radd, who will (according to movie gossip) interrupt the wedding of Reed Richards and Sue Storm. Execs says Galactus will not appear in the movie, despite rumor to the contrary, but the character will at least be mentioned in the film. The big-budget, high-action film will give fans more of the comic book story line they love, with all the visual eye candy they’ve come to crave from 20th Century Fox.
