And now we are fully in the thick of the period of Josh Hartnett's career in which no one has heard of or seen any of the movies.
But on paper, this one seems important! It co-stars Rosario Dawson, Carla Gugino, Danny Devito, and Zachary Quinto. It's the first movie ever made exclusively for online distribution (it premiered on YouTube in 2011). But it's also a very slight little movie that isn't particularly interesting. But it does contain a scene at a nudist ping pong club.
We still have fun talking about it, though, and what makes this episode special is that we have a special guest. Not a regular "in the studio" guest, but a pre-recorded audio guest. Friend of the podcast Justin Quizon (Benview on Spielberg, Nothing New) happened to work as the key production assistant on this movie, was on set for the entire production, and MET JOSH HARTNETT. We sent over some questions, and Justin was kind enough to record answers to them, telling us all about what it was like working on this movie. It's the first time we've hear from someone with first-hand Josh experience, and we learn some important stuff.
