If you ask any interviewer, they’ll tell you the same thing: some people are easy to interview, and some are John Cusack. While I love Cusack’s work, I’ve interviewed him a few times and none of them are what I consider great interviews. I don’t know his deal, but every person I spoke to at the 2012 press junket had the same thing happen: we walked in ready to talk, and we walked out wondering if anything was usable. Thankfully, I got him to answer a few of my questions, but compared to some of the other interviews I did for this movie, this didn’t turn out as well as I hoped.
Saying that, if you’re a fan of John Cusack, I think it’s still worth watching. He talks about all the 2012 stuff and does he believe in any of it, making the movie, working in Vancouver, and a bit on Hot Tub Time Machine. Finally, a big thank you to our partners at Omelete for making this interview happen. Take a look after the jump:

That must have been somewhat frustrating, getting a few words as an answer is always annoying. He did look pretty exhausted though, press days are draining I’m sure. But he still could have put in a little more effort. Still think he is AWESOME though. Way to make the best out of this situation Steve!

Wow he looked THRASHED! Poor dude. He kind of sounded sick too. Looks like he had a huge hangover or didn’t sleep the night before.
It was a pretty good interview though in spite of it all. I was impressed by your positive energy Steve and how well prepared you were. Good job!

Maybe Cusack didn’t like the dude’s Mickey Mouse T- shirt. He was completely disinterested.
