The journalists are waiting for director JJ Abrams, recorders ready.

I was recently in Los Angeles on a press event organised by Paramount who had invited directors, script writers and other people who had worked with creating the movies Star Trek, Transformers 2 and G.I Joe. The reason was the upcoming DVD release of the films. The journalists came from a big variety of media – anything from bigger magazines in Australia to small nerd sites only read by Star Trek hardcore fans.

This was my first press event like this and I realised quickly how busy the movie creators are. The Star Trek director JJ Abrams gave individual interviews and it was a very strict 5 minutes per journalist. When the clock started ticking I understood how how little time that is and that not really any issues of real interest can be covered.

But for a movie lover like myself it was really interesting to talk to the creators instead of as most of the times hear the view of the actors. It gave me a much better pi.jpgcture on how movies our made, what enormous job is put behind it and how long time it takes.

Unfortunately my interviews will only be featured in Swedish.
