“I have reached the top, I’m going down the other side, I’ve just realized my Sherpa guide is frozen to death and several of my toes are missing,” he added when asked about how work is progressing on the movie so far. “But we are on our way down.”
As for how he’s feeling, Whedon revealed that he’s not yet got to the point where his thoughts about the movie are invading his dreams, but they are keeping him up at night! “I don’t dream, I just think about coverage while sleeping, and then I wake up four hours later. It is an enormous task. It’s not daunting in the sense of any kind of responsibility except the responsibility I always have, which is ‘Will the audience respond to this? Have I given as much as I can? Have I made the actors do as much as they can? Have I made them comfortable? Does it all track as a movie?’ The complexity of this giant puzzle sort of wakes you up at 2 a.m. pretty much every night.”
“I’ve encouraged people to come to set because people assume they can’t. For my own self, I try to get my wife there,” he admitted.“She doesn’t really like being on set because it’s sort of dull, and occasionally I import a friend just to have that touchstone of someone who knows who I am. Everyone is wonderful, but they’re all new, and when you’re in the thick of it you need someone to go, ‘You’re not crazy.’ “
According to the city’s Cineworld Cinema, as well the official site for Dublin City’s annual Movie Fest, exclusive footage for several forthcoming blockbuster films, including The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises and The Amazing Spider-Man to name a few, is said to debut for their Irish attendees.
Running over a weekend at the giant Dublin Cineworld, the inaugural Movie Fest promises preview footage, behind the scenes clips and recorded greetings from actors and directors. The programme also includes exclusive trailers from upcoming blockbusters such as ‘Twilight: Breaking Dawn’, ‘Batman: The Dark Knight Rise’, ‘The Avengers’ and ‘The Amazing Spiderman’. Each day has a completely different line-up with at least two full film premieres.
“The footage, greetings and trailers will be completely different [from SDCC] on both days. The Amazing Spider-Man is being released by Sony Pictures, so that footage is on Sunday. The Avengers is being released by Disney/Marvel, the 3D trailer for that is on Saturday.”
At the moment, you may take this with a pinch of salt. However, with things kicking off tomorrow, we’ll know sooner than later. Anyhow, check out the full schedule here!
Watch an interview with Joss Whedon discussing The Avengers. He once again debunks Ant-Man rumours.
“You know, I’m really not allowed to say what happens in the movie, but I can say that it’s not true. Ant-Man is NOT in the movie.”
