Ethan probably called me and said, "We have a script and we're sending it. Tell us what you think." As simple as that. I do remember my impressions reading it, that it was funny and unpredictable. I couldn't tell where it was going.
It always amazes me how excited people get about social networking sites, and then at some point just decide that they are totally lame. Like do you kids remember Friendster? Back in 2002 I was all OVER that shit. Then Myspace came along and had more hot young girls. And at some point, people just all abandoned that ship and headed to facebook.
Crank 2: High Voltage is one of those ratshit insane movies that makes me proud to be alive. "High voltage is an understatement," he said about the movie. "They locked themselves in a room for three days with five bottles of tequila and wrote the most offensive, outrageous script I've ever read."

Sure, Guillermo del Toro might want a lot of the original “Lord of the Rings” cast back for “The Hobbit” — but it doesn’t mean he’ll get them all. At least one Steward of Gondor says he hasn’t been asked.
The Tintin tag-teaming has begun. Steven Spielberg is still slated to direct the first of three planned films about the mystery-solving Belgian reporter and his trusty fox terrier Snowy, despite recent word from the Brussels studio that owns the rights to the characters that Peter Jackson would be doing the honors for Tintin's first outing.
Nearly 6 months after his death, Ledger's performance as the Joker helped power "The Dark Knight" to a best-ever $18.5 million opening-night take. It was the first in a cavalcade of domestic BO records shattered by a film that has survived a host of challenges to become the highest-grossing Warners release of all time ($489.4 million and counting)
Starting bid $5,000
Volkswagen has been a strong supporter of independent film through their sponsorship of film festivals and indie cinemas. The car company has produced a series of fun “See Film Differently” videos which feature film fanatics sharing their vastly different interpretations of classic movies.
There's a whole subset of underappreciated sci-fi gems that have gone sadly unheralded without any geeky conventions to call their own. As a public service to the new generation of sci-fi geeks who've only grown up with Star Wars prequels and Scott Bakula as their Starfleet captain, here are ten sci-fi movies that don't get the credit they deserve.
I have heard from multiple sources that Uwe Boll’s latest film Postal isn’t worth the time it takes to break through the Fort Knox DVD packaging that it comes in. See for yourself in the first 11 minutes of this soon to be classic film.
