 Fan Turned Filmmaker, Paul Davis Interview by Scott Essman
Englishman Paul Davis was more than a fan of the classic 1981 Universal film, AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON; he was also an aspiring filmmaker. Yet with no credits to his name, undertaking a documentary about this property was a longshot in the minds of many, including Davis.
However, after nearly three years of work, the film has found a home, in, of all places, Universal’s “Full Moon Edition” 2-Disc DVD and Blu-ray HD release of the film, out September 15, 2009. In this interview, he tells the entire story of creating the film, from conception through its now remarkably unlikely release. (more…)

Interview By Scott Essman
Since he burst on the scene with the wildly imaginative 1993 stop-motion animated feature The Nightmare Before Christmas, California Institute of the Arts graduate Henry Selick has been one of Hollywood’s most innovative filmmakers. After his stop-motion followup to Nightmare, the well-received 1996 film James and the Giant Peach, Selick directed the partially live-action film Monkeybone in 2001. Now, the long-in-the works Coraline, a surreal mixture of animation and fantasy, arrives on DVD on July 21, 2009 after a successful theatrical run that included both traditional and dynamic 3D screenings. In this exclusive interview from his new Portland, Oregon studio base, Laika, Selick reflects on his lauded career and shares special insights into the creation of Coraline, his most ambitious project to date.

 Interview by Scott Essman
Former wunderkind producer and executive Rob Cohen burst onto the directing scene with his biopic “Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story” in 1993. Since that time, he has become one of the renowned action directors in Hollywood with films including “Dragonheart,” “The Fast and the Furious,” and “XxX.” Last year, he undertook his biggest project to date, “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor,” the second sequel in Stephen Sommers’ mega-hit from 1999, “The Mummy,” an update of the 1932 Universal classic about the O’Connell family tracking a series of resurrected warriors in the mid-20th century. New to the franchise is Jet Li, who stars as Emperor Han alongside regular Brendan Fraser as Rick O’Connell and his wife Eve, this time played by Maria Bello, and Michelle Yeoh as a fellow adventurer. In this exclusive interview, conducted just days before the film’s original August 2008 release date, Cohen waxes on all things Mummy and the machinations of his skyrocketing directing career.
