On April 9 2012, readers of /Film as well as FirstShowing.net were treated to a free, early screening of Drew Goddard‘s The Cabin in the Woods in San Diego, CA. The film, co-written by Joss Whedon, is about a group of friends who think they’re just going on a nice quiet wilderness vacation and find something much, much more. Star Kristen Connolly was on hand to answer questions, fans got free swag and all was right with the world.
After the screening fans were asked to line up and tell us what they thought of the film. Russ has already weighed in with his thoughts and, after the jump, see what your fellow readers thought . Read More »

Save for a few of the original directors, few people can give you a better snapshot of what’s going on at Pixar than Katherine Sarafian. The production coordinator turned director of marketing and now producer has been with the company since 1994 and their first film, Toy Story. For the past five plus years, she’s been working on Brave, Pixar’s upcoming feature about a wild Scottish princess whose fate is tied to the family kingdom. Sarafian has been with the production from its inception and has intimate knowledge on the controversial directional change, massive story rewrites, cast changes and more.
Recently, I was at Pixar to see the gorgeous first thirty minutes of the film (read about that here) and spoke to Sarafian not only about those things, but the surprising power of being a producer at Pixar, the marketing of the film (including when we might see a new trailer) as well as the company’s feeling facing their first critical disappointment: Cars 2. Check out the interview below. Read More »
Morgan Spurlock‘s latest film, Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan’s Hope, is in select theaters now as well as On Demand and iTunes. /Film recently sat down with the Oscar-nominated director to talk about the documentary, which was produced by Stan Lee, Joss Whedon, Harry Knowles and Thomas Tull, and in the first part of our interview we talked about the genesis of the project, media perception of the event, subjects who ended up on the cutting room floor, the crazy logistics of shooting at the convention and more. You can watch that here.
Now it’s time for parts two and three.
In part two, we delve deeper into the new film, discussing certain discoveries and challenges made during shooting, the fact this is the first movie he’s doesn’t appear in, why the title is so long, the traveling tour and what might end up on the Blu-ray, just to name a few things.
Then, in part three, we discuss Spurlock past and future including the disappointing box office of the fantastic Pom Wonderful Presents The Greatest Movie Ever Sold, his upcoming film Mansome, some TV projects and even his first narrative feature. Watch all of this after the jump. Read More »
For months now, both Peter and I have been raving about Morgan Spurlock‘s latest documentary Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan’s Hope. And for good reason. The director of Super Size Me teamed up with producers Joss Whedon, Stan Lee, Harry Knowles and Thomas Tull to create a film that does just about the perfect job of showing why fans like us enjoy going to San Diego Comic-Con every single year. The bulk of the story follows seven different people going to Comic-Con for their own, very different, reasons (cosplay, toys, comics, art, love, etc.) which is then intercut with interviews from other directors, actors, fans and geek-gods, together covering almost every single base of why the mecca of pop culture is such a magical place.
Obviously, with a film like this, there’s a lot to talk about and Spurlock obliged. He gave us a generous 30 minutes of his time to discuss the ins and outs of Comic-Con Episode IV A Fan’s Hope, which is in select theaters now and on VOD and iTunes everywhere, and much more.
After the jump, watch part one of the three part interview where we discuss the genesis of the project, media perception of Comic-Con, subjects who ended up on the cutting room floor, the crazy logistics of shooting at the convention and much more. Read More »
