As I wrote when I posted the movie clips from âTranssiberian,â the film was another in the long list of movies that I wanted to see at this yearâs Sundance film festival. Not only is it the new movie from Brad Anderson (who made âThe Machinistâ), but itâs about a long train journeyâ¦something that Iâm fascinated by. Also, besides having an interesting story and setting, itâs got a great cast with Woody Harrelson, Emily Mortimer, Kate Mara, Eduardo Noriega and Ben Kingsley playing the main characters.
But even though I didnât get the opportunity to watch the film, it didnât stop me from interviewing both Brad Anderson (the director) and one of the stars, Eduardo Noriega.
While Iâd prepped for my interview with Eduardo, I literally had no warning that Iâd also be able to interview Brad. So when you watch it, just know it fell into my lap seconds before the camera started. And while Iâm not the tallest guy on the planet, when you see me next to Bradâ¦just know heâs almost 8 feet tall. Yeah, thatâs a slight exaggerationâ¦but not by much.
And since I didn't see it, hereâs the synopsis from the Sundance Press guide before you watch the interview:
I still have at least 10 more video interviews to run, so look for them in the coming days. Again, my goal is to post one or two a day until I run out. Iâve also still got at least 10 new articles of movie clips. Iâm going to do the same thing, one or two a day till I run out. Iâd rather post them slow and steady so you can all keep up and enjoy them, not get flooded by them.
And if youâre curiousâ¦tomorrow will be my âIn Brugesâ interviews plus something else that I havenât decided on yet⦠Hereâs those interviews.
