"We're the Lowest-Grossing Trilogy of All Time" and More of the Best Quotes From the Before Midnight Stars

Ethan Hawke, Julie Delpy, and director Richard Linklater took to Reddit this week to answer questions from fans and Redditors about their film Before Midnight.

Ethan Hawke, Julie Delpy, and director Richard Linklater took to Reddit this week to answer questions from fans and Redditors about their film Before Midnight. The trio didn't stop there; they also shed some light on the past and (possible!) future installments in the series. Did Jesse (Hawke) ever pay the bartender for his bottle of wine in Before Sunrise? Is there a manlier name than Ethan Hawke? What inspired Before Midnight's ending? Find these answers (and more) below.

Reddit AMAs (Ask Me Anything) can be revealing, but often they're hard to sift through, so we did the sifting for you! Here are the most insightful and hilarious tidbits from the whole interview.

  1. On whether Jesse ever repaid the bar owner in Vienna for the bottle of wine:

    Ethan Hawke: Here's the vote: Julie says no. Rick says he would like to think so — he thought about it, he wanted to. And I have the actual answer, which is (believe it or not), when he showed up six months later, while he was waiting for Celine, in hopes of good karma, he went over to that place and tried to pay the guy back but the guy didn't work there anymore, so he just left someone else a tip.

  2. On what type of movies they hope to be doing five years from now:

    Richard Linklater: Well, Ethan hopes to be doing The Purge 7 so he can crank one out every six months.

Getaway Trailer: Ethan Hawke and Selena Gomez Must Drive

Here's that Speed/Drive/Excess Baggage mashup you've been waiting for!

Here's that Speed/Drive/Excess Baggage mashup you've been waiting for! Ethan Hawke stars as Brent, a man whose wife has been kidnapped in the trailer for Getaway. Ordered to simply "drive" by her captors, his mission is foiled when a kid (Selena Gomez) attempts to carjack him in a parking garage, and he's forced to take her with him. Luckily for him, the creepy voice on the other end of the line tells him to keep her, that Brent will need her to save his wife. What does that mean?

Gomez and Hawke are such an odd couple, but that's what makes this trailer interesting to me. Sure, the plot is generic, but these roles are each something we haven't seen from the actors, or at least in the past few years, in Hawke's case. I'm looking forward to seeing how their chemistry fares on screen. The movie opens Aug. 30, and you can watch the trailer after the jump.

Go Inside the Star-Studded CFDA Awards!

Stars celebrated the world of fashion in NYC last night at the 2013 CFDA Awards in Lincoln Center.

Stars celebrated the world of fashion in NYC last night at the 2013 CFDA Awards in Lincoln Center. The event honors top fashion designers, and stylish stars like Kerry Washington and Jessica Chastain joined the party on the arms of celebrated designers. Being that this was a style event, there were plenty of supermodels at the bash, including Victoria's Secret stars Adriana Lima, Candice Swanepoel, and Karlie Kloss. Hillary Clinton also joined the bash to present the Founders Award to Oscar de la Renta, the man behind many of the former secretary of state's famous pantsuits. She joked about her sense of style during her speech, saying, "Now that I have some more time on my hands I am going to be pitching Andy Cohen and others a new show for Bravo. . . . We can call it Project Pantsuit." She also noted that she was embarrassed when she first met Oscar and he told her that she was wearing one of his designs.

Of course, there were a few stars in attendance who had a closer connection to the CFDA Awards other than just being fans of fashion. Tobey Maguire turned out to support his wife, jewelry designer Jennifer Meyer, who was nominated for the Swarovski Award for emerging talent for accessory design. Mary-Kate Olsen also attended the event after scooping up the highly coveted womenswear award with her sister Ashley back in 2012.

Before Midnight Trailer: Celine and Jesse Forever

For fans of Richard Linklater's two romantic dramas Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, the opening moments of the Before Midnight trailer are so exciting: Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Celine (Julie Delpy) are together!

For fans of Richard Linklater's two romantic dramas Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, the opening moments of the Before Midnight trailer are so exciting: Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Celine (Julie Delpy) are together! And they have two adorable daughters! However, the happy ending we always wanted for them looks to be more rooted in reality and more attune to the fact that relationships still take work once two people who belong together find each other. They argue, insult each other a little, but also appear to still really love each other.

Nine years after the last installment, I'm still getting goose bumps watching these two characters interact — there's love there, for sure, but also so much witty dialogue and emotional intelligence between them. The trailer hits a lighter tone than I'd expect for the third film in this series, and I'm betting some of the sillier moments are more dramatic in context. After its Sundance Film Festival debut earlier this year, Before Midnight comes out in limited release May 24, and you can watch the trailer now after the jump.

David Beckham Faces Off Against His Old Team Before a Star-Studded Crowd

David Beckham joined the MLS All-Stars last night to take on his old team, Manchester United, at New Jersey's Red Bull Arena just outside NYC.

David Beckham joined the MLS All-Stars last night to take on his old team, Manchester United, at New Jersey's Red Bull Arena just outside NYC. There were plenty of stars in attendance to watch as David's squad faced off against the visiting Brits, including Ethan Hawke, Jessica Szohr, and Gerard Butler. Despite the support for the MLS players, Manchester beat the All-Stars with a final score of 4-0. David, nonetheless, gave the match his all, trying to get no less than three goals in but having each effort blocked. He was the only player allowed to decide how much time he'd spend on the field, even wearing the captain's armband for the game! David said of playing against Manchester, "The problem is with me, it doesn’t matter how old I am, once I am on the field, I don’t want to come off, and I’ll always be like that."
