I know we have the long awaited on set interviews posted elsewhere on the forum, that presumably Sony have finally allowed to be unleashed on the lucky public, but this is an interesting discussion, taking place in Romania during GR2 shooting, including Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub from Collider who also follow on twitter, and who has a very cool job I must say. Feels a little like we're crashing their party, but they have put it out there for people to see, so no harm in sharing it here!

10 hours on the set..and meeting with all the stars and crew..seeing the actual sets which sound awesome..how cool! including that 22 minute interview with Nic, getting to hear how excited he was and how much he enjoys his work! ..wish we got to hear what was said "off the record" and is "classified"!!
My instinct was that at first, but with my rational head on, I decided that I don't want to know anything that is too spoilerish about the film!
I never cease to be amazed and in admiration of how Nic manages to give such wonderous interviews, mid filming...to interrupt that tight focus he must have. A consummate pro. And, really generous of him too, appreeciated by us fans!!!
Am also left wondering though.... how we, as the biggest Nicolas Cage fan forum on the net, can get our shot at an interview..as well as the generic filmic peeps?
I think we can get our shot!!! Well, I suppose it would have to be done via other entertainment outlets but, you've got me to thinking... What if Cagealot contacted Nic's team for a quick interview during the press junkets of Ghost Rider... I can't imagine they'd say NO, seeing as though we are the largest Nic Cage fan site on the net!!! Something to think about Ms. Lula!
It has been on our minds for a while Gina and Lady A, there is another convo going on elsewhere about it! Lol, you would think it would be that simple, but in reality there is alot more to it, those generic filmic peeps have editors who have connections with publicists..and it is kind of late in the day for GR2... but if anyone has any ideas please jump in the conversation in the private chambers!
In the meantime..Empire are doing a live webchat with Nic, which is a wonderful opportunity for fans! check it out here!
