Nicholas Hoult talks ‘Warm Bodies,’ not having lines and eating brains VIDEO CLIPS

Nicholas Hoult was Beast in 2011’s “X-Men: First Class” and now has a list of films (“Jack the Giant Slayer”) beginning with the romantic zombie film “Warm Bodies,” co-starring with Teresa Palmer, who plays Julia.

“The most compelling thing about R is his need to connect. He wants to connect with the other zombies in the airport, even though they’ve got nothing to really say to him and can’t even say their names. He wants to connect with Julie and to feel alive. That’s one of the most human instincts ever – to want to feel a part of something and to connect with another human.”

The film is full of narration representing “R” thoughts, but the characters mutters few words.

“A lot of the time I had to communicate just through movement, my eyes, the things I do, or the records R plays for Julie,” explains Hoult. “The idea of not being able to say what you’re thinking was something that was exciting for me. It makes you think in a slightly different way than you normally would.”

Fans of the gross zombie films will not be totally disappointed, there are a few disgusting moments warns the star of “Giant Slayer.”

“That’s a slightly violent moment in the film, where R is cracking Perry’s head open, but it’s shot very beautifully. The way Javier Aguirresarobe framed and lit everything, it just looks fantastic – even the more gruesome aspects, there’s still something very cinematic about them.”

Not exactly the traditional romance or horror film. Hoult continues with his humorous rant on brains.

“Eating brains is fun! They made the brains out of kind of a cold, wet sponge. The idea Jonathan came up with is that because these brains are memories it’s like being alive again, it’s kind of like a drug to the zombies.”

The film stars Hoult, Palmer, Rob Cordry, Dave Franco and Analeigh Tipton.

“Warm Bodies” arrives in theaters on February 1, 2013.
