The Toughest Scene I Wrote: The Martian“I was so excited, and I called [the book’s author] Andy Weir and said, ‘I think I’ve cracked it.’ He very dryly said, ‘Eh, that doesn’t work.’”
J.J. Abrams Has an Awesome New Monster Movie, and You Can’t Know Its TitleFilmjunk reports on that crazy unnamed J.J. Abrams–produced trailer that preceded showings of Transformers this week. The very cool, Blair Witch–style teaser, which shows “cameraphone footage” of a New York party being interrupted by a huge Midtown explosion and some kind of expanding monster-like attack, ends with a brief flicker of the unnamed movie’s credits, revealing little other than that Abrams, brainiac behind Lost, is the producer, and that Drew Goddard, a Lost (and, formerly, Angel) writer is responsible for the screenplay. Oh, and that it comes out on January 18, 2008.
