The first image from Rabbit Hole has been posted on the New York Times site, with an article about the film including quotes from Aaron - Nicole Kidman Brings Star Power Behind the Scenes.

"“This is a passion project for Nicole,” Aaron Eckhart, who plays her husband, said after shooting a scene at Papazzio restaurant in Bayside. “The reason why I’m in the movie is Nicole. If she wants to work with somebody, then that’s what happens.”

august 25, 2009 - battle: los angeles news - posted by jamie

Louisiana's I-49 will be closed for a month starting from next week because of Battle: Los Angeles - Movie to close part of I-14 for a month

Entertainment Weekly did a feature on Love Happens including excerpts from Aaron about working with Jennifer - Movie Preview - Love Happens.

Aaron Eckhart, who plays a widower-turned-Tony Robbins-style self-improvement expert, knows a thing or two about the genre. ''In this day and age, every actor has been down that self-help aisle once or twice,'' says Eckhart. ''And thankfully so!'' Reeling from the death of his wife, his character struggles in private to cope with his loss while traveling the circuit of grief seminars, peddling his best-selling platitudes of emotional recovery. On a stop in Seattle, he bumps into Jennifer Aniston's single thirtysomething florist. And apparently a long weekend with her can heal him better than any hardcover words of wisdom.

Aniston took a hefty pay cut to star in the $ 18 million production. Eckhart had never met the tabloid fixture before, and was prepared to find her beautiful and charming. ''What did surprise me was how balanced she was,'' he says. ''I don't know why that surprised me — I guess just because the girl has been through so much.''
