Race To Witch Mountain stars Alexander Ludwig and AnnaSophia Robb share their thoughts on directors, dreams and their daytrip to Disneyland with Dwayne Johnson!

Did you have fun working with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson on your new movie, Race To Witch Mountain?
AnnaSophia: Definitely! Dwayne is so cool.
Alexander: He is such a professional. He’s unbelievable! He’s such a good guy – and he’s always on time.
AnnaSophia: Dwayne is very supportive, but the thing I love about him the most is the way that he really respects everybody on the set. He’s a very giving guy.

Did you get starstruck when you met him for the first time?
Alexander: It was certainly a little nerve-wracking.
AnnaSophia: Especially because Dwayne is huge! The first time I met him was on the day I flew into LA to work on the movie. We did a tour of Disneyland and there were crowds of people coming up to him, but he was so respectful. He acknowledged everybody and he was really gracious.

Did you go on the Disneyland rides with Dwayne?
Alexander: This was the funny thing… Dwayne wouldn’t get on any of the rides! He can tackle a 7-foot guy jumping on him in a wrestling ring, but he won’t go on a ride for 6-year-olds. It was really funny!

Are you saying Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is a big wuss?
Alexander: He’s a huge wuss! Oh, wait a minute… No. He’s going to kill me for saying that. It was very funny, though. He didn’t want to go near the rides!

What was it like to act alongside him for the movie?
AnnaSophia: He gives back as an actor. If you want to try a scene a different way, he’ll try it with you and he’ll be there for you.
Alexander: We got on so well because he’s such a cool guy. He came from a pretty hard background, so I find him very inspiring. He’s great to work with.

Production Weekly is saying that Sanaa Hamri is attached to direct Charlie Craig & Lisa Barrett’s Anything But Ordinary. With youngsters Emma Roberts & AnnaSophia Robb in talks to star in it, it could be anything from a movie inspired by an Avril Lavigne song to a version of the the Valerie Hobbs novel. Or neither.
