Comic Con 2011: ARCHER Interviews with H. Jon Benjamin, Amber Nash, Aisha Tyler and Chris Parnell

Posted: July 30th, 2011 at 6:49 pm

I know I’m not the only Collider writer to feel that if you’re missing out on FX’s Archer, you’re missing one of the most consistently funny shows on Television.  If biting satire, political commentary, and cartoon nudity are things you enjoy, chances are high you already do enjoy FX’s brilliant Archer.   The cast hit Comic-Con to promote the upcoming third season, and I got to sit down with stars H. Jon Benjamin (Voice of Sterling Archer), Amber Nash (Voice of HR Director Pam Poovey), Aisha Tyler (Voice of Agent Lana Kane), and Chris Parnell (Voice of Cyril Figgis).  If the cast is to be believed, Season 3 will feature:

• “Operational fieldwork”
• “Midgets”
• “Terrible things”

Comic Con: Kevin Conroy Interview ARKHAM CITY

If you are a fan of Batman, in any medium, chances are extremely high that you recognize the name Kevin Conroy.  That’s because he’s voiced Batman / Bruce Wayne in no less than six animated series, seven animated films, and five video games.  As DC and Rocksteady Games presented the newest game to feature Conroy’s inimitable voice: Arkham City, I got the chance to sit down with Conroy for a candid interview at Comic-Con in which he discussed the differences between video games and animation, his respect for the fans, and how everyone knows the voice of Batman–even the homeless.  Check out the full video after the jump.

While DC may not always knock the ball out of the park with their feature film offerings, it’s fairly safe to say that their Animated Television projects have been almost universally hailed as excellent.  With the Green Lantern Corps getting the spotlight this summer in a feature film, video game, and direct to home entertainment animated film, DC looks to once again storm TV screens with a new 3D CGI series Green Lantern: The Animated Series destined for Cartoon Network.  Comic Con alumnus and DC Animated architect Bruce Timm was joined by series producers Jim Krieg and Giancarlo Volpe in the press room and we were able to talk to all of them.  Watch our video interviews after the jump.

Posted: September 16th, 2010 at 10:43 am

If you DON’T like Emma Stone, I think there must be something wrong with you.  Stone has lit up the screen in several supporting roles from The House Bunny to Zombieland.  Finally carrying the tag of lead actor in Screen Gems’ Easy A, Stone plays Olive Penderghast who finds herself through — some fault of her own — at the swirling center of a rumor mill that leads to her being ostracized much like literary character Hester Pryn (from the book she’s studying in English Class).  At the Easy A press junket, Stone had plenty to say about adolescence, the challenges of carrying a film, and how she feels about the Zombieland sequel.  Watch the full interview after the jump.

Director Will Gluck Video Interview EASY A

Posted: September 15th, 2010 at 3:42 pm

It takes a fairly competent director to corral a cast including multiple Oscar nominees AND teen magazine cover kids.  With Screen Gems’ Easy A, director Will Gluck takes such a challenge and produces a hilarious film that manages to not hit you over the head with it’s positive message about being yourself.  In Easy A, unassuming Olive (Emma Stone) learns that sometimes anonymity isn’t so bad.  At the press junket, Gluck talked adolescence, how he assembled his cast through blackmail, and the upcoming Friends With Benefits starring Justin Timberlake.  Watch the interview after the jump.

Based on the glut of zombie properties hitting bookstores, TV, and in movie theaters, it would appear America still loves zombies.  With Screen Gems’ Resident Evil: Afterlife, we can finally see flesh eaters in 3D!  (I, for one, am actually excited about this.)   In RE: Afterlife, Milla Jovovich once again returns as Alice, but this time she faces new zombies and challenges as she takes on the evil Umbrella Corporation, and seeks out the last survivors of the human race.  At the recent press junket for Resident Evil: Afterlife, Jovovich discussed the comfort and challenges of returning the franchise a fourth time as well as the upcoming Three Musketeers movie that she says is “not your parent’s” version.  Check out the full interview after the jump.
