Interviews: Tim talks with Zack Snyder, ‘Rebel Moon’ cast for Looper

On assignment for Looper.com, Tim talked with “Rebel Moon” writer-director Zack Snyder and the film’s cast about their new gritty sci-fi epic.

Reflecting on how the film’s story began as a pitch for the “Star Wars” universe, Snyder reflected on what remains in “Rebel Moon: Part One – A Child of Fire” from his original vision: “Mostly what it allowed is that any of the “Star Wars” iconology that you might see in the movie now that’s left over is there by design. In the end, I can’t help myself 100% from being a slight deconstructivist and taking a subversive look at the overall science fiction landscape or the sort of pantheon of mythology that we accept as our cinematic touchstones.

Interview: Tim talks with ‘Thanksgiving’ writer-director Eli Roth for Looper

On assignment for Looper.com, Tim talked with “Thanksgiving” writer-director Eli Roth about the faux “Grindhouse” trailer-turned movie.

Recalling how the film version was set in motion, Roth said, “Over the years, the fans kept nagging me, but we had no story. Once we saw the Black Friday trampling videos that were going viral, [we thought about it]. Every year, there were videos of these superstores and their midnight Black Friday sales of people who, a few hours earlier, were so thankful but now wanted to crush each other to death for a waffle iron. That was when we said, ‘There’s something really here. This is fertile ground.’ It gave the movie a theme and a reason to exist, and that’s when it started in earnest.”
