Welcome to Fangirl Freakout, your source for TV and film star interviews. Get the inside scoop directly from your favorite actors and filmmakers.
Think of some of your favorite movies. Now, look up those titles on IMDB. Actor-writer-director-producer Rob Reiner probably had something to do with them. Movies like The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, Misery, This Is Spinal Tap, The American President, Stand By Me, etc. all came from his brilliant mind. Never slowing down, Mr.… Continue reading Interview: Rob Reiner for And So It Goes
Boyhood, written and directed by Richard Linklater (Dazed and Confused and the Before series), is not only the best film so far this year (with an unheard of 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes), it is also one of the most ambitious projects in Hollywood history. After all, the film follows the life of a boy,… Continue reading Interview: Richard Linklater for BOYHOOD
It is only July and 2014 is already a fantastic year for movies. Mike Cahill's (Another Earth) sci-fi thriller, I Origins, is another film to add to my "best of the year" list. I Origins is my favorite kind of movie, original, thrilling, beautifully shot, and mind-blowing. The film follows Dr. Ian Gray (Michael Pitt),… Continue reading Interview: Mike Cahill & Michael Pitt For “I Origins”!
Based on the box-office and critical success of the first How To Train Your Dragon, it's easy to see why the studio green-lit a sequel! Thankfully, How To Train Your Dragon 2 takes after its predecessor and along with being a great, entertaining story, also shows off extraordinary animation and 3D technology. Usually I hate… Continue reading Interview: Djimon Hounsou For “How To Train Your Dragon 2”
Obvious Child is my favorite movie so far this year. That's right, I said it. With a script as mature, intelligent and funny as its lead actress, Jenny Slate, how could it not be? Obvious Child is a remarkably frank, well-written, and well-acted romantic comedy that shows there are many different types of Hollywood "happy… Continue reading Interview: Jenny Slate & Gillian Robespierre for “Obvious Child”
I don't say this lightly, but Gareth Edwards is easily the best up-and-coming director working today. After directing the widely-acclaimed monster movie, Monsters (2010), on a shoe-string budget of under a reported $100,000, it’s no wonder Hollywood trusted him with revamping the beloved monster franchise, Godzilla. Even though he only has one previous feature film… Continue reading Interview: Gareth Edwards for Godzilla
I had the pleasure of interviewing writer/producer Andy Paterson and Patti Lomax, in support of their film, The Railway Man. This great film tells the true story of a man's lifelong struggle with revenge, forgiveness, and remembrance in a time of war. Honestly, the story is so epic and heart-wrenching, it's hard to believe it… Continue reading Interview: Patti Lomax and Andy Paterson for The Railway Man
SPOILERS BELOW SO READ AT YOUR OWN RISK! Marvel has done it again. Captain America: The Winter Soldier is one of their best movies to date, not only being accepted by diehard comic fans, but critics too! As I'm writing this, it stands at 90% on the Tomatometer! Not only is this film a superhero,… Continue reading Interview: Joe and Anthony Russo (The Russo Brothers) for Captain America: The Winter Soldier
vFrom The Sweetest Thing to Arrested Development, let's be real...even Teen Wolf Too, I have been a longtime fan of his work and thankfully I was able to control my fangirl nerves; the fact that he was super nice and put everyone at ease immediately was a help too. I was really excited to get… Continue reading Interview: Jason Bateman for Bad Words
The second my roundtable interview began with actress/producer Roma Downey (Touched By An Angel) and her husband, producer Mark Burnett (Survivor), something was different. Maybe it was the sudden fire alarm in the hotel, which caused us to go across the street and conduct the interview over bagels, or maybe it was the couple's strong… Continue reading Interview: Mark Burnett & Roma Downey For “Son of God”
