Exclusive Interview: Jared Leto, Thirty Seconds to Mars [Aug. 24th 2010][Tell Ab�b] When Hulu spoke to Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman Jared Leto about the band's latest video last week, he was calling from the beach in Tel Aviv, where he and the rest of his band were set to play another show on their world tour. By now, 30STM has played in more than 100 cities across the globe, hitting Europe, Sydney, Singapore and Japan in just the past few weeks. (It's been so many, Leto's lost count himself.) A "Brief Interview" with Julianne Nicholson [Aug. 24th 2010] When The Office star John Krasinski set out to make a film adaptation of David Foster Wallace's Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, he needed a way to connect the separate stories of the sometimes heinous characters that make up Wallace's book. The actor-turned-director's solution? A female grad student who interviews each of the men as part of a thesis project. While Krasinski used his personal network to track down the actors who portray the emotionally detached subjects of "Sara Quinn's" study, he had one actress in mind for the role of the grad student as he penned his script: Julianne Nicholson, who was starring as Det. Megan Wheeler on Law & Order: Criminal Intent at the time. Last week, Hulu spoke to Nicholson to get her take on working with Krasinski. — Rebecca Harper (), Editor Filmmaker Interview: Garry Beitel [Aug. 20th 2010][OUTREMONT, QC] The 'Socalled' Movie is a multi-faceted portrait of a similarly multi-faceted performer, Josh Dolgin AKA "Socalled," a gay, Jewish, Montreal-based hip-hop klezmer artist. Presented in 18 separate segments, the documentary offers an entertaining and illuminating look into Socalled's creativity, influences, and background.

[Editor's Note: Our partner, SnagFilms, is the parent company of indieWIRE.] Exclusive Interview: Chad Vader's Matt Sloan and Aaron Yonda [Aug. 10th 2010] One of the best parts of the San Diego Comic-Con is the opportunity to meet the creators of various comic books, films and shows that we enjoy year-round. We often take for granted the huge efforts required to create and produce content, and seeing these authors talk about their creative process is a treat. It's especially great when you meet folks whose shows you follow regularly. So you can see how excited I was when I found the chance to meet Matt Sloan and Aaron Yonda, creators of the hit web series Chad Vader, Day Shift Manager, which I follow closely. As they live and work in Wisconsin, it was a great chance for them to sit down with me for a brief interview, even with the loud din of the convention's crowd. — Jason Nellis, Content Partner Manager Filmmaker Interview: Erik Gandini, 'Videocracy' [Aug. 6th 2010] SnagFilms' 2nd annual SummerFest, a free online festival showcasing exclusive, limited-duration runs of popular new documentaries, continues with Erik Gandini's "Videocracy Interview: Harry Shum, Jr., Dishes on 'The LXD and a 'Glee' Love Triangle [Aug. 3rd 2010] Sue Sylvester may have called him "The Other Asian" last season on "Glee," but we're predicting that Harry Shum, Jr., who plays Mike Chang on the Fox series, will become a household name this year. After all, "Glee" isn't Shum's only project these days. He's reprising his role as Cable in the dance movie "Step Up 3D" (in theaters August 6), and stars in and choreographs "The LXD," a new dance series for the web directed by Jon Chu. This week, Shum's first appearance in "The LXD" hits Hulu, so we asked the actor/dancer/choreographer to tell us more about the series, let us know what's it's like going up on stage with Beyonce, and share a few teasers about the next season of "Glee." Two words: Britney episode. Find out what he's talking about below. — Rebecca Harper ( Filmmaker Interview: Jaak Kilmi [Jul. 30th 2010][Estonia] SnagFilms' 2nd annual SummerFest, a free online festival showcasing exclusive, limited-duration runs of popular new documentaries, continues with "Disco and Atomic War," the third film in the series, premiering this Friday, July 30th. Comic Con 2010 Recap [Jul. 30th 2010] For Comic-Con this year, we sent two members of our content team, Mark Forbes and Jason Nellis, to report from the field. Imagine packing enough people to fit three football stadiums into a single convention center. Toss in a ton of media, professionals and on-lookers, and you may have a sense of what it's like to visit San Diego's Gaslamp District during Comic-Con. Needless to say, it's an extravaganza of popular and niche media. Once, it was a relatively small gathering of hard-core comic book fans. Today, San Diego Comic-Con (or SDCC as it's known) has grown to include movies, video games, television and all the extremes of fandom. We were down in the trenches with the fans on the ground floor, exploring all of the convention center had to offer. — Mark Forbes and Jason Nellis, Content Partner Managers |
