As a horror nut I first discovered Peter Jackson when Dead Alive was released on VHS tape back in the early 90s. After viewing that first film I knew Jackson was destined to become one of the great filmmakers. I immediately saw his other works such as the Oscar nominated Heavenly Creatures and Meet the Feebles. When his first Hollywood film, The Frighteners, was going...

And Peter is a really nice guy - I wrote to him just after the first LOTR, just telling him how I'd been following his career since 'Bad Taste' (the funniest sci-fi horror of all time bar-none), and he wrote back to me, making direct references to things I had said in my letter. Sent me a signed picture too, which was nice of him. Peter Jackson is so much better than Spielberg could ever dream of.

I think what would have been interesting if Jackson had taken another route for the King Kong Movie and had Kong take a a big shit while hanging out at the empire state... so I could have called that fiilm a big peice of crap!!!
Jack Black is about ready to pop as a major movie star. He of course has his previous hit School of Rock but the release of Peter Jacksons reinterpretation of King Kong should send Black into the stratosphere. Black has nearly as much screen time as Academy Award nominee Naomi Watts.

Jack rocks. I can't wait to see The Pick of Destiny, I know Liam Lynch helped write it. Those two together are gonna make me cough blood they're so funny.
Adam Goldberg usually plays slightly neurotic, manic Jewey characters. So it was interesting to find out that in person hes very neurotic, slightly manic and not as Jewey as I thought.
Goldberg first found fame in the films Dazed and Confused and Higher Learning. In the past few years hes moved into more leading roles with the cult classic The Hebrew Hammer and the TV...

I tried to make a hebrew hammer "City of Heroes" character...it was taken, unfortunately...I guess that's alright. Hopefully it's being used by someone a little more appropriate than my WASP ass.
I like his segment in "Waking Life"

Pelle: The same, but weve got a little bit less treble. Its all about frequencies. It works the right frequencies and makes us sound the way we want to sound.

Someone had left a copy of it at the community centre where I work and nver came back for it, so I picked it up, intrigued by the title. It was amazing, and I was wondering if she'd have another one out there somewhere. After reading it I lent the book to a passing acquaintance, so book karma continues!

AlexRobinson doesnt just write and draw comic books. He creates massive tomes filled with wonderful characters. His first book was a trade paperback collecting all his issues of Box Office Poison. BOP was a semi-autobiographical tale of young people trying to find their place in the world whether it was through their relationships or cartooning.

As a young boy growing up in New Zealand Andrew Adamson read all six books in C.S. Lewis Chronicles of Narnia and said to himself I will make a movie of this someday. Unlike the millions of children who thought that, Adamson has made that dream real. After co-directing both Shrek films to monstrous success Adamson parlayed that into directing the huge budgeted The Chronicles...

It'll be interesting to see how they avoid the racist shit in "A Horse and His Boy"
I've been wondering that, too. I love the series, but I was shocked at how racist that book is.
Stephen Gaghan won an Oscar for his screenplay for Traffic. After crafting the screenplay for that dense multiple storyline filled story implicating everyone even the US government in the worlds hard drug trade Gaghan decided to do the same for Big Oil with Syriana.

I'm a huge fan of Gaghan and hope he's recovered by now from this movie; it was legendarily tortuous for (and because of) him and what he says here only hints at what I've heard through the grapevine - much of which is probably exaggerated, apocryphal, or untrue, of course, but it can't all be wrong).
Thanks for this interview, folks.

Syriana , The CLI ( Committee to Liberate Iran), the nameless (almost faceless) Pakistani immigrant who is the real hero of the film and who does not even get mention in the actors' cast of many web-sites discussing the film, could not have been more relevant as a testimony to our times...
Gaghan has created an epic .. and the complete message and the the full potential of Syriana is just about to be realized...

Rob Marshall could have done any movie with any big movie star after directing the blockbuster Academy Award winning movie musical Chicago. Instead he went the other direction and directed the adaptation of the best selling novel Memoirs of a Geisha which was in limbo after Steven Spielberg decided to pass on directing.

One of may favorite books. Looking forward to this.
yushi:
There was a good write up in yesterdays Guardian newspaper about Geisha's in regards to this film and to them (real Geisha's) at least the film and the book it's based on are a load of bollocks. Check out the feature - clicky here
It was good thing I never watched a lot of Buffy the Vampire Slayer otherwise I might have been nervous talking to someone as hot as Amber Benson. It was great getting to talk to Benson because most young actresses that would be perfect SG interviewees dont want to talk to SuicideGirls on account of the women in the nude *cough* Pauley Perrette *cough*. But...
