Intensity By Dean Koontz

Rising star Anton Yelchin has Hollywood buzzing

At 22, actor Anton Yelchin is to have a decisive year in Hollywood and he knows it. But it does not seem bothered by the prospect of spoiling what could be an opportunity of a lifetime to crack the A-list.

"It's a gift to have the luxury of choosing (my roles). Many people do not have that luxury, saying, "What shall I do? I just need to work. "I'm not in that position," he said while making a series of interviews in Toronto for his latest film "like crazy. "

"I do not feel any pressure. The only pressure I feel is to be faithful to what I find interesting about the characters."

Better known as Chekov in the 2009 "Star Trek" reboot, Yelchin has become an actor to read for administrators looking for intelligence and intensity in a young face. Recently featured in the well received "Fright Night" reboot, it also appeared in the latest "Terminator" film and had the title role in 2007 of "Charlie Bartlett."

But it is his performance in his latest film has some thoughts, it could be Hollywood's Next Big Thing - the young actor who can turn the blockbuster action film, but also make the short film that brings honor and rewards .

"Like Crazy", a low-budget drama that took the Sundance Film Festival by storm earlier this year, winning the Grand Jury Prize, played at the Toronto International Film Festival before its release later this year.

"Like Crazy" is about a young couple, an American, a Briton, who are desperately in love, but in circumstances that are literal and metaphorical distance between them.

Yelchin, with the co-lead Felicity Jones, are fascinating to look at their relationship falls apart subtly over the years.This is all the more remarkable as the film was improvised, as writer-director Drake Doremus have shot in 30 minutes, taking with her only brings an overview of where the scene should go.

Dressed in a black suit, white shirt with open collar tie loosened lazy, Yelchin looks his age as he sits down with journalists at a hotel in Toronto. His facial hair is that of a 22-year-old uneven and thin, like the beard of a young player of the playoffs in the NHL.

But he takes his job seriously, so you would he would say it is a "trade" or an art. ""

"It's a surreal, magical thing where you forget that you literally have a life outside (the film)," says Yelchin shooting "like crazy."

"You have become that person. And this film has become very personal. You always have to know your character better than you know.
