INTERVIEWS: Whedon, Roth, Bruckheimer, Kim, Spielberg

Some particularly interesting interviews have popped up online over the past few days, which I figured I'd share in case you haven't seen them.

First up, DarkWorlds News has an exclusive three-part interview with Joss Whedon. Part One is about Serenity (which apparently has locked picture). "You have to knock people for a loop every now and then to remind them that this is real and that the stakes are high, and that nothing is sacred and nobody is safe. If you believe those things then at the end of the movie, it’s exciting. If you don’t, then it’s just a bunch of noise." (Part Two is about Buffy and Angel, and Part Three will be published tomorrow - probably about Astonishing X-Men.)

Meanwhile, Patrick Goldstein at the Los Angeles Times profiles Revolution Studios chief Joe Roth today, and goes behind-the-scenes of his forthcoming Freedomland, starring Samuel L. Jackson and Julianne Moore. (Roth, speaking about his previous Christmas With the Kranks, reveals "I realized that I'd made a dismissable piece of lowbrow commercial entertainment that my friends didn't need to watch.") Also, yesterday's L.A. Times had a profile of uber-producer Jerry Bruckheimer, who will oversee an unprecedented 10 primetime TV series next season.

Finally, The Washington Post has a really nice interview with Daniel Dae Kim, who plays Jin Kwon on Lost (which airs its first season finale tonight and is pretty much tied with 24 as my favorite series this season). And Wired has an in-depth feature on Steven Spielberg and the making of War of the Worlds, which opens June 29. "I've never prepped a movie this quickly, and I've never gone so fast in post."

P.S.: While you're at DarkWorlds, check out their freaky online store full of H.R. Giger goodies and the signed limited edition Wayne Barlowe Hellboy print.
