Nick Stahl gives it his all, but ‘Sleepwalking’ is a snooze |
|
The reviews for Sleepwalking has unfortunly been very bleak but all journalists seems to praise Nick! So both a good and a bad thing I suppose. Watch thet trailer here and if you have seen the movie - let us know what you thought!
Sleepwalking. Drama about an abandoned girl and her awkward uncle. With Charlize Theron, Nick Stahl. Director: Bill Maher (1:40). R: Language, sexuality, violence. At Sunshine Cinema, Lincoln Square 12 and Empire 25.
It’s no easy task staying awake through “Sleepwalking,” a downbeat debut from Bill Maher (no, not that one). Only a typically intense performance from co-star Nick Stahl offers the jolt needed to keep us alert.
Stahl isn’t the marquee name on this bill - Charlize Theron is. Theron, who also co-produced the movie, plays Joleen, a reckless single mother with a taste for tight pants, high heels and bad men. She and her preteen daughter, Tara (AnnaSophia Robb), spend a lot of time moving from one grimy apartment to another, depending on who Joleen is dating.

Nick Stahl now the ‘old’ guy |
Nick Stahl won’t be back for more Terminators, and at age 28 suspects he’s already yesterday’s model.
“I’m not a studio poster kid, you know. Studios want the popular actor of the moment. That’s all there is to it, regardless of what you’ve done in the past,” says the Texas-born Stahl, who starred in 2003’s Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines a decade after his breakthrough role in Mel Gibson’s Man Without A Face.
“Maybe in the long run the fact I’ve done it so long is good, but in the day to day, I’d say it’s a hindrance I’ve been around so long. I’m not the newest thing. I’m not the new guy on the block.”

Opposites attract: ‘Sleepwalking’ stars Charlize Theron and Nick Stahl |
It is hard to imagine how Charlize Theron and Nick Stahl could be more different.
The stars of “Sleepwalking,” who play siblings carrying the wounds of an abusive childhood, are seated only a few feet from each other on a dark gray couch in the presidential suite of the St. Regis Hotel. They are on a promotional tour to discuss what it was about the film that brought together two such opposites.
Theron, 32, is a statuesque former model and dancer from South Africa who earned an Academy Award in 2003 for the film “Monster.” For the promotional stop, Theron traveled 22 hours from South Africa, where she was shooting a commercial, to be here. She’s outgoing and charming.

Nick Stahl peels back dark layers in Sleepwalking |
Some of the most impressive actors have qualities seasoned over the years in quiet, low-profile movies, although that’s not always by choice. After Nick Stahl got raves for 2001’s Oscar-winning In the Bedroom, it seemed likely that the young actor would move up to big roles in A-list movies. That hasn’t really happened. Instead, he has continued to take larger parts in offbeat, little-seen movies, such as How to Rob a Bank and The Night of the White Pants.
The 28-year-old Texan, first noticed as the boy playing opposite Mel Gibson in The Man Without a Face, did get supporting work this decade in big-ticket items like Terminator 3, as Sarah Connor’s grown son, and Sin City, in which he was the biliously memorable Yellow Bastard.
More often, he has helped anchor grittier indie items like Sleepwalking, opening here on Friday (March 14), in which he plays a rural drifter forced to grow up when his ditzy sister dumps her precocious daughter on him and then takes off. The sibling is played by Charlize Theron, who also produced and helped assemble a cast that includes Dennis Hopper, Woody Harrelson, and AnnaSophia Robb as the daughter.

Review: The Road Well Traveled: William Maher’s “Sleepwalking” |
When a film opens with shots of a straight and anonymous American highway — that most overdetermined of American film locations — as “Sleepwalking” does, one must be braced for a story about emotional journeys. A ribbon of asphalt stretching to the horizon is immediate shorthand for personal growth along the road of life (for, to paraphrase Tom Cochrane, life is a highway); this is as true for Captain America and Billy as it is for Steve Martin and the late John Candy. Though “Sleepwalking” offers little variation on the modern automotive odyssey to maturity (as its protagonists carpool their way to catharsis and fulfillment, sensitive pop songs play in the background and the camera’s lens flares with orange sunsets), its earnestness and acting at least provide the momentum necessary to avoid stalling, whether or not the viewer is content to ride along.

Sleepwalking - interview |
|
New interesting and fun interview with Charlize Theron and Nick, enjoy!
Charlize Theron and Nick Stahl aren’t exactly under the radar, but the same can’t be said for “Sleepwalking,” their latest project.
For the actors, this is nothing new. Both have switched back and forth between high-profile films and smaller, independent features: Stahl is best known for his turn as John Connor in the third installment of the “Terminator” franchise, though he was acclaimed for his work in “Bully” and “In the Bedroom”; Theron won an Academy Award for her performance in “Monster,” but is probably more recognized for movies like “The Italian Job.”
When asked what it was about “Sleepwalking” that appealed to the actors, who play brother and sister James and Joleen in the film, Stahl deadpans, “The box office potential.”
Indeed, the movie is a hard sell. It deals with heavy themes-neglectful parents, cycles of abuse-and offers little in the way of typical Hollywood storytelling. The supporting cast, including veteran actors Dennis Hopper and Woody Harrelson, attract a certain audience, but lack the mainstream appeal of blockbuster stars.
“When I read (”Sleepwalking”), I thought it was just a really simple story, but it was character-driven,” Stahl says. “As actors, you look for movies like that.”

Nick Stahl Talks About ‘Sleepwalking’ |
|
Nick Stahl stars as a guy just struggling to make it to work each day and keep his head above water in Sleepwalking, directed by William Maher. Charlize Theron co-stars as his sister, Joleen, a single mother who does a lousy job of raising her only child, Tara (played by AnnaSophia Robb). When Joleen’s kicked out of the house she shares with her boyfriend, she drags Tara to her brother’s place and dumps her there.
Most actors claim characters with an edge, a troubled background, or serious demons to battle are the most interesting to play, and while Stahl’s character, James, is a real decent guy, he definitely had a traumatic family life that’s affected his ability to function as an adult. Stahl claims his character’s troubled home life was something he found intriguing.
