Me and Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) during his press conference promoting ZOMBIE STRIPPERS.
So, I went to San Diego last week to cover Comic Con for a documentary on fandom I'm co-producing. With the help of co-sponsor Envy Magazine, we had all-access press passes and multiple interviews lined up. A few additional highlights:
I got to attend the press breakfast for MIRRORS, starring Keifer Sutherland and the very pretty Amy Smart (above). Good pic of her, insanely bad one of me. Yikes!
The amazing wonder duo of Josh Olsen (Writer, A History of Violence) and Dan Waters (Writer, Heathers, Batman Returns). These guys are a class act. They were at the Anchor Bay booth, and provided me with one of the funniest interviews I had all weekend. I am insanely jealous of Josh, by the way. He's worked with TWO of my idols already. First David Cronenberg, and now Harlan Ellison (on an episode of Masters of Sci Fi).
Josh came to dinner with myself and the Anchor Bay sales folks. He's a very patient man. I tried very hard (unsuccessfully) to not nerd out in front of him. I ran my mouth like no tomorrow, but he was gracious about it.
Other amazing interviews include:
Kim Deitch (A very kind and gracious man. One of my very favorites. See earlier post about him).
Jeffrey Brown
James Kochalka
Bernie Wrightson
The Cast of Pineapple Express
Ted Raimi
Ken Foree
Steve Coogan
and others...
I know I haven't actually posted any interviews as such yet. Too much to sift through. It's coming, though. Honest.
I have so much more stuff. I just wanted to get something up right away.
More to come.
