- Oscar-nominated writer/director Joss Whedon came to Film Society of Lincoln Center to discuss his career and his bold and imaginative adaptation of Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing."
The film opens June 7 at Film Society: filmlinc.com/mu...
01:12 Whedon's love for Shakespeare and why he moved on to Much Ado from The Avengers
05:40 How Whedon's career started in television, writing Buffy, and doctoring scripts
08:40 On not always being pleased by the end result/final product of films he wrote screenplays for, and how that drove his desire to direct his own scripts
10:13 Did you actually want to bring back Buffy or was this just the right directing opportunity?
11:40 Serenity leads Whedon into directing movies again; his disappointment from Firefly being cancelled ("I cannot sleep; I cannot live until we find another venue for this") and whether Firefly will come back again a la Veronica Mars
16:30 Whedon expresses interest in making a ballet, a musical, writing a book, etc.
17:30 What attracts you to directing films (that you haven't actually written)?
20:46 Why the adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing is contemporary in setting but not language.
23:30 On being approached for video game adaptation
26:00 "Is there a Marvel character you wish you could do?"
28:00 What draws Whedon to tragic romance?
30:00 On shooting Much Ado - working with cameras, getting shots, his love for the location
33:18 On character interactions and never being able to have as much interaction as you want, but that's the nature of the medium.
A half-hour Q and A and only one question was about directing, have you noticed?
This just proves my theory that scriptwriting is the more important of filmmaking professions.
(Sorry, I recently attended one class of film studies and I'm still bitter - the academia completely ignores scriptwriters and overglorifies directors!)
Anyway, great interview. The sound was all over the place, though.
Tell Joss Whedon at I need the new Spider-Man in the Avengers Age Of Ultron
Quite good but the sound needs work: crowd is deafening
Thanks for sharing!! great interview
Kyungshikah, you would have to talk to Sony about that, not Joss.
This guy doesn't seem to like straight ways. To lull with voice and intrude from behind seems to be his tactics.
I'm guessing Joss's popularity and fandom has reached the point where anything he says is pure comedy and deserves an laugh-out-loud response to those giddy and hysterical fans of his.
Liking it even before I'm watching it.
yay!
words of a genius
Well nowadays an evening with Joss Whedon sounds horrible.
Joss Whedon really is the most overrated filmmaker/television producer/writer alive.
You are.
More like underrated, I agree Avengers is one of those that gets blown out of proportion, but his other work, come on Buffy The Vampire Slayer is a Television masterpiece, with phenomenal writers including Joss.
IfTheApocalypseComes BeepMe Buffy is not a television masterpiece. If you think it is, you need to watch more television.
Hey what's bad about Buffy?
IfTheApocalypseComes BeepMe Nothing is outwardly bad, necessarily, but it never went out of its way to be great, either. It's a pretty cut and dry series thematically. The acting and writing are both passable.
