OUT OF THIS WORLD!
\nRace To Witch Mountain stars Alexander Ludwig and AnnaSophia Robb take us on an intergalactic voyage of discovery. Want the lowdown on UFOs, aliens and outer space? You got it!<\/p>\n
First things first\u2026 Have you guys ever seen a UFO?
\nAnnaSophia: I think it\u2019s really fun to believe in UFOs and aliens, but I haven\u2019t experienced anything like that. I\u2019m sure I know someone who thinks they\u2019ve seen a UFO, though!
\nAlexander: Hey, are you talking about me?<\/p>\n
Why? Have you seen a UFO, Alexander?
\nAlexander: Well, I was showing someone the Race To Witch Mountain trailer on the computer in my dad\u2019s office the other day. I looked out of the window and I\u2019m so sure I saw something! It was a clear sky, but this light started bouncing around the clouds.<\/p>\n
Really?
\nAlexander: I\u2019m not joking \u2013 and I\u2019m not crazy! I thought it could be a reflection on buildings, but it was moving weirdly. It was especially trippy because I\u2019d just seen the trailer to our alien movie. It was very strange.<\/p>\n
How interested are you in the universe and outer space?
\nAnnaSophia: I love it!
\nAlexander: I like to think about where the universe stops. It\u2019s so weird! How can the universe stop? Does it reach a brick wall or something? If that\u2019s the case, what\u2019s behind the brick wall? It\u2019s such an amazing concept.
\nAnnaSophia: The universe just keeps expanding \u2013 but that seems impossible. It\u2019s so weird, but wonderful.<\/p>\n
Why is the galaxy so interesting?
\nAlexander: Because nobody knows too much about it. When you\u2019re looking up at the stars, there are endless possibilities. There\u2019s so much that hasn\u2019t been explored. I always get a weird feeling in my stomach when I think about it.
\nAnnaSophia: Me too. I feel so small in comparison to the universe. There\u2019s such a fascination with it because there\u2019s so much we don\u2019t know about it. You can believe anything you want because nobody can really disprove it.<\/p>\n
Would you like to zoom off into outer space?
\nAlexander: It would be an amazing experience to take a flight into space.
\nAnnaSophia: That would be so cool! I\u2019m studying astronomy in Science at school right now \u2013 and I\u2019m loving it. Being an astronaut would be crazy. I\u2019d be terrified, but I would love the experience.<\/p>\n
What part of the galaxy would you most like to explore?
\nAlexander: When I\u2019m 80 or something, I really want to get in touch with NASA and say, \u2018Send me through a black hole!\u2019 I want to see what happens. I\u2019ve always been fascinated with black holes because nobody knows what they are. By the time I\u2019m 80, I\u2019ll be up for it. I don\u2019t know why nobody hasn\u2019t done it before.<\/p>\n
Maybe you can save up some money and build your own spaceship?
\nAlexander: Wow! Now, that\u2019s a good idea. Didn\u2019t a Russian guy pay $20million to go into space? I would love to do that.<\/p>\n
What supernatural powers would you most like to have?
\nAnnaSophia: I think my character\u2019s powers of telekinesis are pretty awesome in the movie. I can move objects with my mind, which would be a great skill to have. My character can read minds, which is also pretty handy.<\/p>\n
What about you, Alexander?
\nAlexander: I\u2019d love to fly. I\u2019m always flying in my dreams, so sign me up for super flying lessons any day!<\/p>\n
Did you have to research aliens and the universe for your roles in Race To Witch Mountain?
\nAnnaSophia: When we started work on the movie, the director showed us a lot of footage about aliens, UFOs and conspiracy theories. He showed us some really cool alien videos to get us pumped up about UFOs.
\nAlexander: His office looks like it belongs to a 12-year-old boy! There are posters, UFOs and loads of crazy stuff in there, so you\u2019re surrounded by the subject.<\/p>\n
That sounds like a lot of fun\u2026
\nAlexander: It was! We watched loads of documentaries on UFOs, which really make you believe. You really start questioning everything. One of the documentaries said that the universe is so big that it would be really egotistical to think we\u2019re the only living beings. I really think that\u2019s true.
\nAnnaSophia: There are also some amazing conspiracy theories out there. You know what? Our universe is so big that there has to be something else out there.<\/p>\n
Was it difficult to play aliens in the movie?
\nAnnaSophia: I talked to the director a lot about my character and her powers because no-one really knows what aliens look like or how these powers should be displayed. It was cool because we could just make it up.
\nAlexander: AnnaSophia\u2019s character has to talk to me through telekinesis, which was very fun to act out. We also had to work together to create our roles because they have to be similar. It was all pretty cool.<\/p>\n
Right\u2026 So if there are aliens out there in the universe, what do they look like?
\nAnnaSophia: I have absolutely no idea! My mind goes wild when I think about things like this. I would love to imagine them as changing colors and having mad tentacles. That would be so weird, but very cool \u2013 just like Flubber.
\nAlexander: I wouldn\u2019t want them to look like us because that would be such a letdown. Imagine meeting someone from Mars and they looked just like yourself. It would be disappointing. A Flubber alien is much more fun \u2013 and way cooler.<\/p>\n
