Interview: Author Greg Pak
 |
Posted by MajorJJH | September 5th, 2008 at 3:10 pm |
When you get the chance to interview a comic book writer, you jump at the chance. But some chances are more special than others, and having the chance to speak to Greg Pak recently was a real treat. Fan favorite author of Marvel’s Planet Hulk, the feature film Robot Stories, and currently writing Skaar: Son of Hulk, Greg Pak is a man who really needs no further introduction. I got the chance to speak with the author recently about his past and what is coming up for him, so without further ado, let’s introduce Greg Pak!
Geeks of Doom: First of all, for those who don’t already know who you are… who are you?
GP: I’m a filmmaker and writer living in New York City who’s probably best known in the film world for Robot Stories and in the comic world for Planet Hulk and World War Hulk.
GoD: What did you want to be when you grew up?
GP: I actually was just going through some old papers and found an essay I wrote when I was ten or eleven about how I wanted to be a writer when I grew up…

Interview: Author James Barclay
 |
Posted by MajorJJH | August 9th, 2008 at 4:25 pm |
Into every generation a Slayer is born, as well as a top class author. For my father’s generation, that author was J.R.R. Tolkien; for my generation, that author is James Barclay. An author of consummate skill, I first read his books nearly two years ago now, and instantly fell in love (with the writing…). Soon after James and I started emailing each other, me professing my undying love for his writing, him gratefully accepting it saying that there was “nothing like buffing the ego up to a dazzling sparkle.”
James Barclay is one of three authors I consider 10 out of 10 (the other two being Terry Pratchett and Robin Hobb). His realistic storytelling - which, as we discuss, includes a distressing penchant for never letting a character live for too long - is what makes him brilliant.
So come and join me in my interview with James Barclay, and find out about the man behind the books!

SDCC 08: Conversations with GoD: ‘City of Ember’ Director Gil Kenan

Posted by Dave3 | August 1st, 2008 at 2:02 pm |
While at the San Diego Comic Con this past weekend, I had the chance to sit down one-on-one with Gil Kenan, the Israel-American director of the Academy Award-nominated motion-capture animated Monster House.
While relaxing casually on the back upper patio at the convention center, Kenan talked to me mainly about his latest project, City of Ember, the big-screen adaptation of the Jeanne Duprau children’s fantasy novel.
Kenan gave a few details on his big-screen adaptation for City of Ember, which will be released in theaters by Fox Walden on October 10, 2008, and a bit about how Tom Hanks became involved with the film as a producer.
