New movie “Eat Pray Love” debuts in US theaters Friday as among the most highly-anticipated films of the summer. It is based on best-selling memoir of Elizabeth Gilbert and her globe-trotting quest for self-discovery after divorce. While big-budget Hollywood movies often are dreamed up around a fantasy, the stars of “Eat Pray Love,” Julia Roberts and Javier Bardem, say their film is different because it is real. And, in some ways, it helped change their own lives. “We've all thought about leaving everything and taking a journey to someplace else,” says Bardem, who plays Felipe, Gilbert's love interest. “The movie speaks about people trying to face doubts, fears, insecurities and that speaks to everybody,” he said. – Reuters Roberts, who portrays Gilbert, told Reuters in a separate interview that she could relate to Gilbert's soul-searching. “I haven't done a main part in a movie in a long time and I wondered if that kind of work load would still be interesting to me, and I was very happy at the end of this that I felt incredibly fulfilled as a creative person,” she said.
