'Ashton Kutcher is the King of Commitment,' and 8 Other Revelations From The Double Star Topher Grace

In the upcoming political thriller The Double, Topher Grace and Richard Gere star as an unlikely duo of intelligence agents paired to solve the mystery of a senator’s murder. The twisty plot leads them through a trail involving a psychopathic Soviet assassin (Stephen Moyer), Shakespearean code names and one double (get it) identity that culminates with a surprising ending in screenwriter Michael Brandt’s (3:10 to Yuma, Wanted) directorial debut. To promote the film — due in theaters this Friday — Topher Grace met with a handful of journalists in Beverly Hills yesterday to discuss, among other things, Richard Gere’s incredible calmness, the state of his relationship with the ’70s Show cast and to make one unfortunately ironic statement about his friend and former co-star Ashton Kutcher. Revelations ahead! 1. Babies hate Topher Grace. [While discussing some of the things he learned while preparing for this role.] “And then there was holding a baby — [that] was the scariest of all the things. I don’t think I mastered that. Odette was so good with the kid and then she’d pass it to me and it would just start crying. I never held a baby before. […] It’s twins so that you can swap them out but both babies hated me.” 2. Richard Gere prays for fallen insects. “He’s really zen, man. The rumors are true. We were at this dinner and it was me, Odette and him in this scene where we’re having dinner. There are bugs all over the place and I’m [smacks imaginary bugs all over his body] and I look over [at Richard] and am like, ‘Oh, sorry.’ He’s friends with the Dalai Lama and stuff. He says, ‘Don’t worry, I’m saying a prayer for each [mosquito you kill].’” 3. Speaking of Richard Gere, the actor is also cool with you sucking blood from his face. “Then, during the scene, and this was incredible and shows what a great guy he is — it bleeds into his roles how unflappable he is. This mosquito landed and was pumping blood out of his cheek. […] It had been awhile and this mosquito is getting fat with blood. And he finally said, ‘There’s a mosquito on my cheek, huh?’ And he lifted it [mimes gently lifting a mosquito off his cheek and tossing it into the air] and said, ‘Enjoy the snack.’ It’s crazy. I was blown away by that kind of stillness.” 4. Topher Grace finds adultery-related greeting card gags funny — but also in bad taste. “I have this family portrait that’s in the film [of him, Odette and their movie children] that I put in my office at home. I told Odette that I was going to send it out as our Christmas card. [Laughs] She just got married by the way so that would have been in really bad taste.” 5. Yes, the ’70s Show alum has slept in a bunk bed in the past year. [Responding to a question about The Wedding, which he filmed with Diane Keaton, Robert De Niro and Katherine Heigl last summer:] “It was shot in my hometown. That was just a coincidence but my folks still live there and I slept in my bunk bed from when I was twelve.” 6. He calls Katherine Heigl ‘Katie.’ [Describing The Wedding, due in theaters next year] “Diane [Keaton] and Robert De Niro are my and Katie Heigl’s folks. Susan Sarandon and Robin Williams are kind of the stepparents.” 7. Topher has a gift for making incredibly ironic statements about Ashton Kutcher, given the media storm surrounding his supposed affair. [When asked if he was surprised that his ’70s Show castmates have gone on to enjoy such successful careers] “It strikes me that I’ve had work after the show. That is amazing. But I knew their talent — better than a lot of people who were just watching the show because I was with them every day. I’m not surprised at all. Ashton is the king of commitment. If you give him something, he will commit to it. I saw him be given some ridiculous things and he commits to it so much it becomes real and really good.” 8. The ’70s Show cast still hangs out. “[Mila] just went to Laura Prepon’s sitcom taping. She was also doing a Chelsea Handler show and I went with Wilmer [Valderrama], who’s also doing a show on NBC. Then we went next door and visited Ashton. We were all standing there like, ‘Whoa.’ We’re all those cliches. We’re really close and we all love each other. “ 9. Topher Grace is not motivated by motivational speakers. [While discussing his preparation for the role of a motivational speaker in the upcoming Giant Mechanical Man] “It was depressing. It motivated me to make fun of them. I can’t wait to do press for that because I feel like I have so much to say about that. What makes one human being stand up and tell other human beings how to be living their life?” Follow Julie Miller on Twitter. Follow Movieline on Twitter.

For Your Consideration: The Evolving Role of Screeners in the Awards Race (Analysis)

An abbreviated version of this article first appeared in the Oct. 28 issue of The Hollywood Reporter. For filmmakers, whose primary goal is usually to make art, the ideal way for a movie to be seen is on the big screen. But for awards strategists, whose primary job is to deliver nominations and wins from the Academy, critics, guilds, other awards-dispensing organizations, any way of reaching voters -- some of whom live far from the advance screening hubs of Los Angeles and NY and/or are too busy or frail to get to many screenings -- will do. A bit of history Studios have been offering voters an alternative method of seeing their films -- namely, "screeners" -- since the late 1980s, when strategic awards "campaigns" first became commonplace. These copies of their films -- which were first mailed to voters on VHS, and then DVD, and now sometimes even Blu-Ray -- can cost studios hundreds of thousands of dollars to produce and distribute -- sometimes even millions, depending on how many voting bodies they wish to send them to. (There are roughly 6,500 members of the Academy and 98,000 members of the Screen Actors Guild, to cite but two of them.) But to those who see great prestige and profit in the reflection of awards statuettes -- especially the most coveted of all, the Oscar -- it is regarded as money well spent. PHOTOS: Backstage at the 83rd Academy Awards Indeed, screeners have helped to level the playing field, in the sense that voters no longer have any excuse for why they can't see -- and therefore "consider" -- a film for awards. Weather, work, and whatever else might once have precluded them from making a screening are now non-issues, since they can now pop a film into an entertainment console anywhere and anytime that's convenient for them. And while some voters still see and vote for only the most hyped films each year -- or, worse yet, don't see them and/or invite relatives or assistants to fill out their ballots -- most take advantage of the convenience and wind up seeing and rewarding a lot of little movies that they otherwise might not have. Many industry analysts believe that acting Oscars would never have been awarded to Roberto Benigni for Life Is Beautiful (1998), Hilary Swank for Boys Don't Cry (1999), Marcia Gay Harden for Pollock (2000) or Halle Berry for Monster's Ball (2001) had voters not seen them on screeners. Moreover, they argue, the shocking best picture win of Crash over Brokeback Mountain (both 2005) is probably directly attributable to the fact that Lionsgate took the then-unprecedented, "really, really expensive" step -- later copied by Little Miss Sunshine (2006) and Black Swan (2010) en route to best picture nods of their own -- of sending a screener to every single member of SAG, leading to a best ensemble win there and a surge of familiarity and popularity among actors (who represent the largest branch of the Academy) right before Oscar voting closed. ANALYSIS: What the New Oscar Campaign Rules Mean for Awards Season In more recent years, however, two conflicting pressures have arisen: there is more competition than ever before to get films seen by voters, but there is also more concern than ever before about protecting those films from being leaked before their commercial releases to the general public. In the age of the Internet, film "piracy" -- as in, the illegal replication and distribution of films -- has become a major problem, and one that can cost a studio massive amounts of money at the box-office. Since the sources of at least a few such leaks have been identified as awards voters who either deliberately or carelessly allowed their screeners to get into the wrong hands, studios have been forced to seek alternative and safer ways of getting their films into the right hands. That -- as well as a desire on the part of the Academy to embrace modern technology and promote green-awareness -- led to an announcement last month that has literally changed the rules of the game.

Report: Dvr viewing enhancing b'casters

Fox's "Fringe" has proven a good deal of traction in Dvr houses. Dvr viewing can be a boon for the broadcast systems. That's one of the conclusions in the report launched Wednesday by influential Wall Street analyst Michael Nathanson of Nomura Opportunities.Inside an analysis of Dvr viewing within the last four years, Nathanson learned that the split of viewing between broadcast and cable nets is nearly 50-50 among Dvr clients, compared to some 75%-25% split meant for cablers for live viewing. The Tv biz's alternation in 2008 from live program ratings to so-referred to as C3 ratings -- ratings for ads on live broadcasts additionally done within 72 hrs of Dvr playback -- since the currency to advertise deals has furthermore been an optimistic factor for tv producers, Nathanson argues. Audiences frequently stick with the ads running in broadcast network programming a lot more than most cablers."The modification to C3 measurement, along with the ongoing rollout of DVRs, will boost the relative positioning in the broadcast systems -- as well as the conglomerates that own them -- and certain cable systems that have built appointment viewing," he written. It's also delivering a lifeline for shows like Fox's "Fringe" that deliver modest amounts live but they're popular in Dvr houses.The lift provided through the extra 72 hrs of playback inside the C3 measure has substantially slowed down lower the rate of decline in grownups 18-49 rating for your Large Four. As well as the section of Dvr viewing inside the total 18-49 ratings grows inside a fast clip, as Dvr transmission develops. According to Nielsen, 42% of U.S. TV houses have DVRs, up from 38% last season.Inside the 2008-09 season, grownups 18-49 C3 ratings for your Large Four were up 3% over live ratings inside the same measure last season, the C3 amounts were up 9.7%.Remarkably, Nathan's research also ensures that less Dvr clients are choosing the device's commercial-missing feature -- a technology that was once seen because the dying-knell of advertising supported TV. According to Nathanson, 58.8% of programs seen via Dvr playback involved commercial missing inside the 2007-8 season by last season, that number had dropped to 50.7% Contact Cynthia Littleton at cynthia.littleton@variety.com
