Clip from "Rust"!

Hello everyone! We finally have some news regarding the short film "Rust", in which Raffey plays a young girl named Georgie. The director of the film has recently uploaded his work reel to Vimeo, which includes a short scene from the film! I have already added screencaptures to the gallery and you are more than welcome to view the clip. Unfortunately I cannot embed the clip on our website, but you can click here to watch it on Vimeo. Raffey's scene begins at around 1:40 minutes. It is very unlikely that the entire film will be shared online, so I hope that you still enjoy watching this short sequence!

Blogger Press Junket!
Last week, Raffey and her co-star Thomas Robinson were invited to an exclusive blogger press junket to promote the DVD and Blu-Ray release of "Tomorrowland"! The event took place at Disneyland in California, meaning they got to spend a few fun hours together at the park after they finished the interview! Thanks to many of the awesome bloggers who attended the event, I have added 18 photos to the sites gallery. Be sure to also read the interview below! The DVD and Blu-Ray release of the movie is set for October 13th, 2015.

[..] Raffey already has an impressive and rapidly growing list of movies under her belt. She was the youngest ever actor to feature in Screen International's Stars of Tomorrow, which has also included actors Robert Pattinson, Andrew Garfield and Gemma Arteton. Her movie credits include Universal Pictures "Snow White and the Huntsman" opposite Charlize Theron, Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth, as well as Tim Burton's "Dark Shadows" with Johnny Depp.

Q: Besides acting, what are some things that you aspire to do as you get older?
Raffey: Um, well, I’d like to kind of do, um, special effects makeup and stuff like that. Uh, I really like that kind of stuff. [...]
Q: What advice do you have for other kids that wanna act just like you?
Raffey: Along the way you'll fail, that sort of stuff, but that makes it all the better when your dream comes true. And just never give up. Keep trying until you get, your dream, and you'll have fun when you do. [...]
Q: Was it your dream to be an actress?
Raffey: They [her family] wanted me to do different things but, it was never said to me that I thought, oh, I want to be an actress. But then one day my brother he went to an audition, and they said, oh, would you like to come in? We need a little girl. So I thought, well, why not, and I'll have a go. And then I went in, and I got the part, and then on I was like, great, I wanted to carry on. But, like, my parents never said, you know, it's something that, that all of us do. Still it was my choice. [...]
Q: What was it like when you guys saw the movie for the first time finished?
Raffey: It was cool. It was weird that something that we've been doing for one and a half years has suddenly just come together. It was just so cool. [...]

Molly Moon - Clips!
Now that "Molly Moon and the Incredible Book of Hypnotism" is finally out in theaters, exclusive clips from the film have been posted online! The first one was published on hulu.com and features Molly as she hypnotises a lady who works at the orphanage! Take a look:

In the second clip we get to see that Molly's attempt at hypnotising the lady has actually worked! However, we also get to see how awful Molly and the other orphans are treated at the orphanage. It was posted by Indiewire.com.

The last clip was released by Movieweb.com. This one is probably my favorite clip from the film so far, as it is the scene where Molly discovers the book of hypnotism at the library!

Which of these three clips is your favorite? Let us know in the tagboard on the left!
