Check out this recent interview with Alice about The Raven which opens in theatres tomorrow:

Alice Eve knew she would have to face fears to star in the action thriller “The Raven.”

To play the love interest for Edgar Allan Poe (John Cusack), Eve had to face a dark dread. Her character, who becomes a pawn in a game of detective skills between the writer and a madman using Poe’s work to inspire murders, gets buried alive.

For a majority of the movie, Eve’s character is confined to a space so small there’s barely room to move her arms. Although a majority of the scenes were shot with the right side of the buried box open, there were several scenes where she was trapped under the earth.

“I had claustrophobia before I did the scene,” Eve says. “But, I do believe in facing your fears and taking that on. I think once you face them, they become less because you managed to go through the experience and controlled it. I really enjoyed having that experience because now I’m less claustrophobic.”

She talks calmly about the experience now, but the first time she was shut in the box left her in tears. When the lid shut, Eve panicked and took a large breath, which removed a lot of air from the confined space. But she returned to the box and, with more controlled breathing, was able to make it through all of the scenes.

She’s faced fears before. Eve has always loved entertaining, but the idea of taking on acting as a career filled her with fear. She faced the anxiety by blending small acting jobs with her university studies. By the time she graduated, Eve had built up a resume that gave her the confidence to pursue acting as a full-time career.

“The Raven” is the latest work that’s turning Eve into an actress for the ages.

She caught our attention in 2010 in the modern romance “She’s Out of My League.” Eve goes back to 1849 for “The Raven,” while upcoming roles include a flashback to the ’60s in “Men in Black III” and a trip to the future in the next “Star Trek” movie.

All of the work means bouncing between comedies and dramas.

Maybe it’s just memories of being buried alive, but Eve says: “It’s a much more pleasurable life to make a romantic comedy. Playing a romantic figure in a romantic story makes for a generally happy time. You come away with little damage.

“Playing this kind of stuff definitely scars you.”

She can live with the scars because working on “The Raven” left her a little stronger.

Check out this recent interview with Alice’s Star Trek 2 co star, Chris Pine where he gives an update about Star Trek 2 and mentions that Alice has been reading Fifty Shades Of Grey:

Chris Pine is fully aware of the growing phenomenon surrounding the steamy novel “Fifty Shades of Grey,” and if the call came for the big screen star to play the title character, he just might say yes.

“I do know about ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ because Alice Eve, who’s in our film, [the ‘Star Trek’ sequel], has been reading it like crazy, so yeah, I’ve heard about it,” he told Access Hollywood at CinemaCon 2012 in Las Vegas on Monday.

When asked if he’d play the novel’s Christian Grey, the square-jawed hunk didn’t say no.

“It’d be a hell of a choice for me, I think,” he smiled. “It sounds like an interesting film.”

Chris is currently reprising his role as James T. Kirk in the J.J. Abrams helmed “Star Trek” sequel, and he said the film is going to impress.

“Of course I’m gonna tell you I think it’s gonna be better,” he laughed. “You pick up the characters from where they left off, and the development of the characters — I think — is just as exciting as the first one.

“And it’s relentless,” he added. “I think that’s the best adjective I can use.”

Chris said the team is actually close to wrapping up the second installment in the sci-fi reboot.

“We’re almost done,” he told Access. “It’s wrapping up very soon. It’s just as action-packed as the first one.”

Beyond talk of “Star Trek” and “The Twilight Saga”-inspired book, Chris was busy at CinemaCon promoting his upcoming movie, “Rise of the Guardians,” an animated feature, where he plays Jack Frost alongside a celebrated cast.

“It’s a great project,” he said. “I’m really happy to be a part of it… Alec Baldwin plays a crazy Russian Santa; Hugh Jackman is kind of the Australian acerbic bunny… It’s a good story about childhood and it’s a good story about belief and imagination … and what it means to believe.”

Alice talked about the Star Trek sequel at the special screening for The Raven with E Online:

Zachary Quinto and Zoe Saldana aren’t the only ones loving the long hours filming the highly-anticipated Star Trek sequel.

Franchise newbie Alice Eve is right there with them…

“They’re incredibly civilized, and I’m loving it so I’m so happy I couldn’t be tired!” Eve gushed to us at last night’s premiere of her new thriller The Raven in L.A.

While Eve remained tight-lipped on details (like everyone else!) she did say this. “It’s a real ensemble and it’s a real group effort. Everyone’s very welcoming and generous.”

Meanwhile, Eve, who you may remember from by her breasty role as Charlotte’s nanny in Sex and the City 2, told us about filming a very scary scene for The Raven in which she’s buried alive in a coffin.

“It was intense,” she said. “You lose the oxygen when you get in there. It’s pretty dirty. You just have to get a hippy vibe going and get comfortable with being dirty all day. The shower was definitely the best part of the day.”
