Несколько интервью с Кевином - о его новых фильмах The Casserole Club и Bloody Indulgent, о новом альбоме Backstreet Boys.

ew.com + отрывок из фильма Casserole Club, который недавно вышел на DVD.

...
“I’m excited to get back in the studio with the guys,” he said. “What I would like to do is make this record really personal. Four of us are married now, three of us are fathers.” But that doesn’t mean they won’t play “I Want It That Way” in concert. “I get that our fans, they want to hear those songs from back in the day that take them back, like a timestamp. That’s powerful and I realize that and when we tour and we’ll do those songs. That’s what I want when I go to see Madonna or Prince or whatever.”

Just when you thought everyone had already gotten into the vampire craze, along comes a Backstreet Boys star to sink his teeth into the bloodsucking mania.

We're talking about Kevin Richardson, who's vamping it up in a new fang movie.
Read on for what the singer-turned-actor is telling us about Twilight, planning the Backstreet Boys' 20th anniversary tour and his advice for breakout boy bands One Direction and The Wanted...

First off, you're in a new movie The Casserole Club in which you and other castmembers have many naked sex scenes. Were those scenes awkward to film?
This is actually the first time I've done any onscreen loves scenes or anything like that. So yeah, it was awkward. But the people that I was acting opposite of were very professional and easygoing. We ended up laughing and having fun. It was interesting.

And in your next movie the Bloody Indulgent you play a vampire?
"I play a drug-addict vampire. He's got a lot of different things going on with him. A lot of different issues he's trying to work through [laughs].

So are you a fan of Twilight or True Blood?
I haven't seen any of the Twilight films. I do watch True Blood. I enjoy True Blood. Sometimes it's a little campy and out there but that's fun too sometimes. I've always loved vampire films.

Tell us about recording more music with your Backstreet Boys buddies?
We go into the studio next month in London. Start recording our next album together, all five of us. And next year in 2013 will be our 20th anniversary. April of 2013 will be 20 years. We're going to release the album and put together a tour, a world tour. I'm sure on that day we'll have some kind of a big bash as well.

After 20 years in a boy band, what advice do you have for breakout acts like One Direction and The Wanted?
Really enjoy the moment. And stay true to yourself. It's hard when things get so big and successful like that and the wheels are rolling. You've got all kinds of people pulling you in all different directions. Managers, agents, record labels. But stay true to yourself and savor every moment and have a blast.

Let's take a look at Kevin Richardson's Facebook page and see what the Backstreet Boy and native Kentuckian is up to.

At the top of the page is a photo about BSB's huge new honor: a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which the group learned last week it will receive in 2013, along with musicians such as Janis Joplin and Luther Vandross.

"I grew up in Kentucky seeing stars' ceremonies on TV, so it's surreal, it's a huge honor," Richardson says from his home in Los Angeles. "We're in good company there. Pretty much anybody in terms of great actors, great rock bands is there. Paul McCartney, right after he got his star, went into Capitol Records and did a live performance."

That will be part of a big year for the Backstreet Boys. Richardson has rejoined the group, which includes his cousin and fellow Kentuckian Brian Littrell, after splitting with them amicably in 2006 after the tour for the album Never Gone. This month, Richardson will meet the group, one of the best-selling music acts in history, in London to record an album, due out early next year.

But before that, we're going to see a very different side of Richardson. Another item we spy on his Facebook page is an E! Online story about his two new movies, one of which puts him in the oh-so-hip vampire genre.

On Tuesday, his drama The Casserole Club comes out on home video, telling the story of five couples in the 1960s who get together under the pretense of a casserole-cooking competition but end up swapping spouses and dealing with the aftermath.

"It starts out as fun and kind of campy, and then gets real serious real quick," Richardson says. "It's kind of like watching a car accident. You know you shouldn't watch, but you can't help yourself."

The movie has done well on the independent-film circuit and earned Richardson some good reviews. The Village Voice's Michael Musto writes that Richardson plays a jerk "who feels 'a man's job is to be horny' — and he's pretty convincing about it."

One of Richardson's co-stars is Jane Wiedlin, who enjoyed chart-topping success with The Go-Go's in the 1980s.

"We would have dinners as a cast every night," Richardson says. "We'd sit around and share stories and talk, and everybody was like, 'Oh, my gosh, the success of your groups together is pretty amazing.' She's a sweet, sweet, lovely human being."

Richardson, 40, realized years ago that being a chart-topping musician didn't make him a first-rate actor. A big part of the reason he left the Backstreet Boys in 2006 was to pursue acting classes and nurture the talent he had rediscovered during a 2003 run playing sleazebag lawyer Billy Flynn in the Broadway production of Chicago.

"I joined a studio group and went to class three days a week," Richardson says. "It felt good to be a student."

His next movie, Bloody Indulgent, is a darkly comic vampire musical in which Richardson plays a blood sucker with a substance-abuse problem.

"I've always loved vampire films," says Richardson, who remembers the mini-series Salem's Lot scaring him to death when he was growing up in Harrodsburg. "I had to sleep with one of my brothers every night for the next week, I was so scared."

On the lighter side of vampires, he recalls the 1979 George Hamilton comedy Love at First Bite that had him running around the house playing a vampire. Later in life, he became a fan of Anne Rice's vampire books and got an autographed copy of Interview With the Vampire from her.

The movie is in post-production, and Richardson says he expects it will hit the festival circuit late this year or early next year.

But music is making its way back into his life.

A few frames down his Facebook page, we see Richardson at the keyboard in Noise Block Studios in Muscle Shoals, Ala., where he recorded an album of songs that have influenced him over the years. Richardson says the project started when he was sitting in with a friend's band in California. He would suggest songs and then comment on what they meant to him during performances.

"Eventually, he said, 'You know, you have the makings for a show here,'" Richardson recalls.

The album will include songs he heard on the radio growing up in Central Kentucky like Hall and Oates' Sarah Smile and Ambrosia's You're the Only Woman.

More than a trip down memory lane, Richardson says, the experience showed him the roots of his own musicianship and helped refocus him.

"It changed my approach completely and helped me find who I am as an artist," he says.

After recording the album, which will be out later this year, Richardson wrote a handful of songs he says he'll take to London when he reunites with the Backstreet Boys to record.

"I really wasn't happy artistically," Richardson says, explaining why he left the chart-topping group. "I didn't feel like I got to express myself artistically like I should, like I wanted to."

Now, he says, he thinks he can balance his artistic ambitions between acting and his own music and work with the band.

"I had to go on my on journey because I feel like I might have lost a little bit of myself in all the success and all the madness," Richardson says. "I needed to step away and get some perspective."

Rejoining the group now "feels right," Richardson says. "I want to now, and it just feels right."

It also brings him back to the band in time to celebrate its 20th anniversary, as well as that star on the Walk of Fame.

Backstreet Boy Kevin Richardson Onboard For New Album
As BSB begins recording in London, Richardson tells MTV News, 'We want it to be authentic to us and who we are.'

It's been six years since Kevin Richardson recorded new music with his groupmates in the Backstreet Boys. He's hoping that when he hits the studio with his longtime musical comrades, it'll be like he was never gone.

"We all discussed, we want this to be a personal record," Richardson told MTV News. "We want it to be authentic to us and who we are and where we're at in our lives. ... We want to talk about the things that are relevant in our life, and we want to be authentic and make a great record that we're proud of, and that's kind of where we're starting."

It's an album that has been in the works for several months, since Richardson announced in April he would rejoin Backstreet Boys, after leaving in June 2006. So, what should fans expect from their first set of music as a five-piece since 2005's Never Gone?

"Before they did the European leg of the NKOTBSB tour, I flew over to London, and we met with a producer, Martin Terefe — he did Train's 'Hey, Soul Sister' and Jason Mraz's 'I'm Yours,' " Richardson explained. "So, we had kind of been looking around at producers, and we chatted with him over the phone. We flew to London and met with him and wrote for a day and talked about the direction that we wanted and kind of the ideas that were floating around.

"We brainstormed, and then woke up the next day and went into the studio and wrote a song in like an hour. It felt really good, and so we think it's the right fit. And hopefully, he's going to produce the entire record."

The album will celebrate a landmark anniversary for the fivesome, who will get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2013. "Our 20 year anniversary is coming up ... and it feels good, it feels right," Richardson said of the milestone, adding that the Walk of Fame recognition is "a great honor."

While he has not made music the past few years, Richardson has been hustling on his acting career. The fruits of that labor can be seen in two upcoming film releases: the 1960s relationship dramedy "The Casserole Club," and the vampire thriller "The Bloody Indulgent." Both projects let him explore his love for films.

"I grew up acting ... it's always been a passion of mine," Richardson said. "When I had the opportunity, I wanted to pursue film and television ... I didn't have a lot of experience acting in front of the camera — only in music videos. One of the reasons I left the group in '06 was so that I could focus on that."

Now, Richardson is finding time to focus on both. He will be with the guys for the next three weeks, banging out new music. On Monday (July 9), their first day of recording, the Backstreet Boys tweeted, "First day in London working on our next album has already been amazing. So much great new music out here. This is gonna be fun!"
