Chloe Bridges – Dana is Switzerland!

Chloe Bridges stars as Dana in the upcoming Camp Rock 2 The Final Jam — which premieres on Disney Channel in just nine days.

The 18-year-old pianist/actress caught up with TV Guide to chat about her character, the friendships she’s made and the movie. Check it:

On Dana: “The cool thing about Dana is she is just real and raw and honest and uninhibited — she is definitely an empowered female. She doesn’t really interact with any of the other girls in the movie. They would refer to Dana as Switzerland — she doesn’t get involved in the Camp Rock/Camp Star battle thing.”

On not realizing how big Camp Rock really was: “I actually didn’t quite know what I was getting myself into. I had no idea what a phenomenon Camp Rock had become and it blew me away how supportive and passionate the fans are. They would wait outside where we were shooting just to see us drive into work and that blew my mind. I’ve never worked on a movie that has so much hype around it.”

On pushing Nick Jonas into a lake: “He [took it] because he’s Nick and he’s the man and takes everything well, but I would’ve been mad.”

ARE YOU HYPED for Camp Rock 2?

ARE YOU EXCITED for the third flick in the fantasy series?

Jessica Alba is in negotiations to star in Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World, a reboot of the popular series, according to THR.

The film will revolve around a retired spy (Jessica) who is the mother of a baby and two preteen stepchildren. The spy is reactivated and her stepchildren will serve as the new “spy kids.”

It is expected that the film’s original stars Alexa Vega, Daryl Sabara, and Antonio Banderas will return in supporting roles. The film is set to start shooting next month and be directed by Robert Rodriguez, who Jessica worked with in the upcoming flick Machete.

Justin Bieber is going to have a movie made about his life.

Justin is so famous, everyone wants to know just how this 16-year-old star rose to fame. The movie about his life is being directed by John Chu. Here is what the director has to say about the flick:

“[It's] a movie for his fans, a movie for people who don’t know him, and we’re gonna tell the underdog story of where he came from. Because it’s a really fascinating story and it has a lot to do with our sort of digital lifestyle now… we’re gonna make a really fun movie.”

He also added:

“There’s not going to be acted-out scenes and I can’t talk about the rest. It’s not your typical concert film and it’s not going to be a biopic … but it is about his life,” Chu said. “I think it’s more of a documentary. We’re going to figure it out as we go.”

Sounds interesting. As of now we do not have the opening dates for the movie. But we will keep you posted.
