Cloverfield star talks

Last Updated on July 27, 2021

So the much guarded film CLOVERFIELD is finally starting to unveil before our eyes. First it was the 5 minutes that popped up a couple days ago, and now star of the film, Michael Stahl-David talks extensively about the J.J. Abrams project.

MTV News scored an interview with the actor who was last seen on the failed Paul Haggis television series THE BLACK DONNELYS.

“[My character] is someone who’s not a big risk-taker or somebody who’s very spontaneous,” Stahl-David revealed. “And then there’s Hud, the man behind the camera [played by T.J. Miller], who’s loud and funny but not the most tactful guy, definitely — he really cares about his friends. Then there’s Lizzy Caplan [as Marlena], who randomly gets stuck with us — she’s not in our close circle of friends … she’s the outsider in our midst. Then there’s Jessica Lucas [as Lily], who is the caretaker of my brother Jason [Mike Vogel], who is wild and reckless. She’s the only reason he keeps his sh– together.

“Then there’s Beth [Odette Yustman], [and] I’ve always felt like there’s something there between us,” he explained. “We’ve been friends for a long time, but whenever I’m single, she’s been seeing somebody and vice versa. We’ve never really connected, until a few weeks before the tape begins to roll — but I’m leaving, so it was just going to end where it was.” “

That’s a little bit of information that Stahl-David spilled, and there is a lot more where that came from. If you go here you can check out the rest of the interview. CLOVERFIELD opens 1-18-08, everywhere.
