Kat Dennings Interview

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

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.
