Via @Shadowed_Gates Transcript:

Josh mentions how he's Jesse is currently filming American Ultra and re-teaming with Kristen. He ask Jesse to give K his regards, shes awesome.

"She's great. She's great. She's a really great actress. Yeah, shes just wonderful. She is a good example of somebody who really immerses themselves. When we were doing Adventureland, she was 17 years old and she would literally stop takes in the middle of a take if she felt like she wasn't being honest. She would say "cut,cut,cut, I'm lying".

Josh "Oh totally, she has no BS filter"

Jesse "Exactly, how'd you know that?"

Josh "Well, Ive just talked to her a ton of times over the years, thanks to twilight"

Jesse "you can tell"

Josh "Yeah, shes very real"

Jesse "Yeah, its really wonderful, it may look sometimes as though like, she is, because shes been in those movies, for example, which i don't know, and this movie which is kind of bigger than adventureland. Its an interesting acting style for these kinds of movies because, these kinds of movies occasionally require- its not something I can do well, but it occasionally requires being big, so to speak, and she does that I guess, but shes so realistic. [SPOILERISH ALERT]So like in this movie we're doing now, every scene is kind of very dramatic because she plays my girlfriend and we both realize that my life was a lie and shes been harboring this secret life from me and all these scenes are kind of histrionic and you cant really half do it, and I imagine in these types of movies, like big action movies, like actors who always do these movies, maybe they can half do it at some point and it looks real but if you're only in these kind of things occasionally, you end up doing the same acting you do in an independent movie but because they're these big histrionic scenes, you end up fully immersing yourself in these moments and it can kind of make you a little nutty. But shes really great to work with because she does that too."

Lionsgate Pays $7 Million for Distribution Rights for 'American Ultra' (Filming starts April 14)

source Lionsgate has paid $7 million for the U.S. distribution rights to “American Ultra,” a comedy starring Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart that will enter production in April, according to two individuals with knowledge of the deal. Lionsgate bought the rights on the strength of the script, written by Max Landis, and CAA’s overall package, which includes the two stars, “Project X” director Nima Nourizadeh and a handful of producers.

Eisenberg will play an unwitting stoner who becomes the subject of a government operation while Stewart will play his girlfriend. Stewart has been very busy in the independent space since she concluded the “Twilight” saga, starring in Guantanamo Bay drama “Camp X-Ray,” which premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival. Eisenberg, whose voice will be heard in the upcoming “Rio 2,” recently agreed to play Lex Luthor in Warner Bros.’ upcoming Batman/Superman movie.

The two last acted alongside one another in Greg Mottola’s “Adventureland,” a dramedy that earned stellar reviews. That film was not a huge commercial success, but “Project X,” Nourizadeh’s debut feature, was. It grossed just shy of $100 million worldwide at the box office two years ago.

Dealmaking for Nourizadeh’s follow-up began at the European Film Market in Berlin, and sales agents have been saying all year that a lot of the biggest film deals are now happening between festivals and markets rather than on the ground.

The $7 million deal marks another huge score for producer Anthony Bregman, whose film “Can a Song Save Your Life?” scored the biggest deal at the Toronto Film Festival last September. Bregman produced “American Ultra” with David Alpert and Britton Rizzio of Circle of Confusion. Plamstar Media Capital’s Kevin Scott Frakes and Merced Media Partner’s Raj Brinder Singh are executive producers. The film begins production in a few weeks in New Orleans.
