Fan Expo: 4 Interviews In 8 Minutes

Ryan and Dave spent part of the day Saturday hanging in the Media Room area, and managed to have some brief chats with Wes Craven, Kate Mulgrew, Buzz Aldrin and Henry Winkler, in no particular order. Buzz describing getting the shot of the earth rise is a particular highlight, in the science fact department. NOTE:  The end credit in this video is wrong.  It’s Ryan on the mic, and Dave (mostly) shooting.  He vanished before the Kate Mulgrew interview, so Kate’s assistant Holly deserves a thumbs up for taking over…

Currently in the hopper are sit downs with Kevin Eastman, writer John Meadows, Major League Gaming co-founder and chairman Mike Sepso not to mention extended interviews with…

Fan Expo: Tobe Hooper Interview

Dave sits down with legendary director Tobe Hooper, who clears up his inspiration for Texas Chainsaw Massacre (hint: it’s NOT Ed Gein). “It occured to me if I start one up, you know that the people would part like the waters… that’s the true story.” Put that line in context, and you’ll get the point. Beyond that, he also discusses his influences, why torture porn has seen such a rise in popularity, and has a tip for budding film makers.

Alex sat down with Brian Bolland, legendary comic artist behind Batman: The Killing Joke, Judge Dredd and Animal Man.

Fan Expo: Kevin Eastman to bring us another Heavy Metal movie in 2010

Kevin Eastman, co-creator of the iconic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and current owner and editor of Heavy Metal Magazine, is planning on bringing another Heavy Metal Movie to the big screen. The story was broken by Variety Magazine on March 13 2008, but Eastman was kind enough to give us a few more details on the production, including some director talk. The new film will include a series of vignettes, each of which will be done by a different director. Until now, only Eastman, David Fincher, and Blur Studios’ Tim…

Fan Expo: Eddie Olmos & Aaron Douglas talk about the next Battlestar feature film

Almost live from Fan Expo, Admiral Adama himself is talking about directing the next feature-length Battlestar Galactica film. Olmos describes the project as a “Major motion picture”, although that appears to be a slip of the tongue, as Aaron Douglas later confirmed with rgbFilter’s Alex that the project is in fact a 2-hour television event that will air on the Sci-Fi channel.

Fan Expo Day 1: Through a Convention Centre, darkly

August 22, 2008 – 11:48 PM: Day 1 of Fan Expo is over, and what a day it was. It all started out with what was easily the finest example of poor planning and organization as we, along with several other members of the press, sat in a little room on hard plastic chairs for 5 straight hours on the promise that our press badges were going to be delivered to us “any minute now”. It absolutely has to be said that, considering its size and importance in the Convention…

Fan Expo: Indie Comic publisher “Fantasy Prone” wants to take you to a whole new world…with dinosaurs

In “United Free Worlds”, mankind discovers a new planet in our solar system and decides to colonize it. This is, apparently, a mistake. The book was written by Blake Leibel (Director & Writer, Spaceballs:  The Animated Series) and drawn by Jason Raines (Director, Spaceballs: TAS). Fantasy Prone president Lawrence Longo and staff writer Jeff Wood were kind enough to take a couple of minutes to discuss the book with us.  Check the video out here. (It’s labeled “rgb Fan Expo B”.) rgbFilter will be giving away prize packs including UFW…
