EXCLUSIVE SIT-DOWN INTERVIEW WITH THE DIRECTOR OF THE BACK-UP PLAN, ALAN POUL.

ALAN POUL INTERVIEW – MARCH 30, 2010 IN BEVERLY HILLS.

Alan Poul, executive producer of TV hits such asSwingtown, Six Feet Under, personal favorite My So-Called Life, and director of The Back-up Planwelcomes me into his suite at the Four Seasons. “I’m the easy one!” he assures me.

Welcome to my very first press junket!

I’m not at all expecting an actual one-on-one, but there’s no one else in the room but us. I’m both on edge and completely at ease.

On beat, we both gush about the star of, The Back-up Plan. “She’s beautiful isn’t she? She’s beyond gorgeous. I don’t think she’s ever looked better in a movie,” he says. SHE is Jennifer Lopez, and I could not take my eyes off of her throughout the film. Okay, I’m lying. I took my eyes off of Lopez just long enough to take in Alex O’Loughlin’s unpretentious smile and sparkling blue eyes. I would, of course, go into more detail regarding his physical attributes, but I’m a happily married woman and all I can do is nod my head in agreement as Poul takes the words right out of my mouth. “He’s hot! You mean when he takes his shirt off?” he exclaims. You’ll know what I mean when you see the film!
