Rhys Meyers, Russell reunite for 'Rush'

NEW YORK, Nov. 23 (UPI) -- U.S. actress Keri Russell said she was happy to reunite with her "Mission: Impossible III" co-star Jonathan Rhys Meyers on the film "August Rush."

"It's funny because Jonathan and I did two movies back-to-back -- 'MI3' and 'August Rush' -- very different films," Russell told reporters in New York recently.

"One, we were rescuing each other with machine gun fire and, this one, we were meeting on rooftops, singing Van Morrison under the moonlight," she explained. "I called him after I saw ('August Rush') and said: 'You come off so well in this movie. You're so good!' So, I very much enjoyed my time with Jonathan. And it's funny knowing someone and then having to make out with them because we had known each other for a while and then it's kind of weird. We were like, 'Oh, this is the part where we have to kiss.'"
