John Carter cast & crew interviews

On Saturday morning, I was invited to go to the Corinthia Hotel to take part in round table interviews with the cast and crew of the forthcoming John Carter. My previous experience of round table interviews suggested I’d probably get around twenty minutes at best with a couple of actors or crew members, but to my surprise, the assembled journos and myself were put into small groups and got a good twenty-five minutes or so each with Lynn Collins, Taylor Kitsch, Andrew Stanton, Willem Dafoe and the film’s producers, Lindsey Collins and Jim Morris.

That gave me more material than I could ever hope to transcribe in a weekend, so with that in mind, I’ve produced them as podcasts that you can listen to at your leisure, on your way to work, on the beach or even on the loo. Technology, eh? It’s brilliant. Not to pick favourites or anything, but meeting Dafoe was certainly a personal highlight and Stanton is very forthcoming too. Please enjoy.

Oh and just to add a little personal context to my day. As I was exiting the tube at Westminster I ran into none other than our wonderful and respected leaders, David ‘Cammo’ Cameron and Boris ‘Bojo’ Johnson. How about that, eh? Also, when leaving the hotel I inadvertently ducked into a lift with Taylor Kitsch and his assistants, whereupon their conversation promptly stopped short. I felt a bit awkward. Kitsch was really nice though and my mumbled, ‘good luck with the film’ seemed to be received well.
