"There&amp;#039;s nothing more fun than a great high school movie, and Beware the Gonzo could definitely be your new favorite (you can see it On Demand starting August 25, and in limited theaters starting September 9)! You&amp;#039;ll cheer for Eddie &amp;quot;Gonzo&amp;quot; Gilman, played by newcomer Ezra Miller, when he starts an underground newspaper at his prep school and leads his group of outcasts in standing up to the popular crowd. Fair warning though, the popular kids might win you over too, if for no other reason than Jesse McCartney, who plays Gavin Reilly, a superstar athlete and editor of the school newspaper. The always stylish Zo\u00EB Kravitz plays Evie Wallace, a queen-bee-turned-outsider, who helps Gonzo start the underground publication. Zo\u00EB and Ezra sat down with Seventeen to talk about their new movie, what it was like going to school with a real Gavin Reilly, and their must-see high school flicks. Seventeen: How are you guys similar to your characters in Beware the Gonzo? Zo\u00EB Kravitz: The biggest thing with Evie is that at the beginning of the film, you think she&amp;#039;s one thing and you completely judge her and you find out that&amp;#039;s not the truth. That&amp;#039;s definitely something I&amp;#039;ve experienced my whole life, people thinking one thing and then discovering that I&amp;#039;m not, hopefully. So I relate to having to fight that and claim my own identity, when people are trying to throw different ones at me. Ezra Miller: Yeah, I definitely identify with the Gonzo thing in a big way. I just remember feeling this need to have certain ideas and viewpoints because everybody around you is holding those viewpoints. Really, you have to take a little more time to let your own ideas form truthfully so you can really hold them. 17: What kind of student were you in high school? ZK: I was pretty lucky, I went to a really great school. I went to a Steiner School, which is very small and nurturing and creative, so I felt like I was in an environment where I could mature. There was less of the clique-y stuff, which can really make high school a living hell for a lot of people, going on, so I was very similar then to who I am now. I&amp;#039;m still a dork.  17: Did you know anyone like Gavin Reilly when you were in high school? ZK: Well, from middle school to the first year of high school, I went to a school in Miami that seemed like a private country club. The whole cheerleader, football player, clique-y thing there was terrifying. Those people were so scary. They&amp;#039;re the scariest kinds of people because they are idolized by their peers. They have everything, they have money, and they&amp;#039;re just mean-spirited. It&amp;#039;s crazy. 17: What was it like filming the movie in an actual school? ZK: It was fun. It was just like being in school again. EM: The entire intention was to get a bunch of kids together in a school and just explode. Have a fun dance party. It was so beautiful to see everyone doing what every kid wants to do \u2014 just get together with all the other kids and take over. The making of this movie was pure fun and joy. 17: What are some of your favorite high school movies? EM: John Hughes&amp;#039; work. ZK: Exactly. I was going to say Ferris Bueller&amp;#039;s Day Off, The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, and Pretty in Pink. He just got it. But also, Clueless is a great high school movie. EM: Oh, and Dazed and Confused is a great example of an awesome teen movie with no flaws whatsoever. ZK: Because Matthew McConaughey&amp;#039;s in it!
