InfoThe Filming for the Production of Tuck Everlasting
Ben Kingsley: "I'm happy to do that if I'm going to love the company of my fellow actors as I did recently in Baltimore. I didn't play a huge part in Tuck Everlasting. I played the devil. And he's a very, very strong recurring theme in the film and I had the most wonderful time playing him." |

StoryTuck Everlasting is the story of 10 year old Winnie Foster (Alexis Bledel), who is playing in her yard during the hot summer of 1880. She is hopelessly bored and tired of being "caged in". She wants to be free, like the toad she watches hopping lazily across the dirt road outside her fence. "It'd be better if I could be like you, out in the open and making up my own mind!" Winnie believes that leaving her home will give her the chance to do something important. "I'll never be able to do anything important if I stay in here like this. I expect I'd better run away" Early the next morning she does just that. Despite her fear of being alone, Winnie escapes into the woods behind her house. To her surprise she meets a young man, Jessie Tuck (Jonathan Jackson), sitting under a tree drinking from a tiny spring. Jessie does not let her drink from the spring. Winnie protests because the spring is on land belonging to her family. So the Tuck family kidnaps her to their far away cottage. She is told that the Tucks will live forever because they drank from the tiny spring 87 years before. For the Tucks, immortality is a curse and they wish they had never come across the spring. Winnie learns that they will not let her go until she promises not to tell anyone about the spring. |

Alexis
Bledel made her way into the entertainment business as an actress in the
Texan theatre scene before becoming a model in her teen years. Modeling
proved promising for Alexis who found herself modeling at fashion shows in New
York, Tokyo, Milan and Los Angeles while still in high school. Upon graduation,
she enrolled in film studies at NYU only to move to Hollywood a year later.
There she quickly won the role of Rory Gilmore in The WB's Gilmore
Girls.
