We’ve been sent an exclusive clip from the upcoming film Daydream Nation.  The story centers on a young woman (Kat Dennigns) who moves to a small town and strikes up a romance with both her teacher Barry (Josh Lucas) and her troubled classmate (Reece Thompson).  In the clip, Barry, frustrated with the papers his high-school students have turned in, asks them to write a three page essay on the historical or religious figure they most admire.  Because if there’s anyone teenagers admire, it’s historical and religious figures.

Hit the jump to check out the clip.  Daydream Nation opens in select theaters on May 6th.  If you’re not near one of those select theaters, you still won’t have to wait long to see it.  The movie hits DVD and Blu-ray on May 17th.

Kat Dennings Exclusive Interview – Talks DEFENDOR, THOR, Twitter, DAYDREAM NATION, More

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: March 1st, 2010 at 11:00 am

This may be one of the best interviews I’ve ever done.  Steve is the interviewing master and has done way more than me, but I’m really proud of this one because it eventually turned into a conversation.  It helps that Kat Dennings is a ridiculously cool chick.  I spoke to her because she co-stars in the new movie Defender, which hit theaters in limited release a few days ago.

Usually, the interview is the standard Q&A and later I judge how badly I did (my apologies to Diablo Cody/Ellen Page and to Edgar Wright/Simon Pegg/Nick Frost).  But Dennings has certified geek credentials and while I had to bring up Thor because she’s in it, she knew her comics and grew up with them.  It’s clear that it’s not just being in a big blockbuster movie, but being in the Marvel Universe.  All she could tell me was that her character is not from the comics and they haven’t shot her scenes yet.

We also talked about comics in general, her upcoming movie Daydream Nation with Josh Lucas, her involvement in social media and how she’s switched from keeping a blog (that she started back in 2002) to Twitter (I recommended that she follow Roger Ebert), among other topics.  Hit the jump to read our conversation and hopefully you’ll enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed having it.
