Film Fest Blog: Monday, Sept. 11, 2006

Posted by Adam Gonshor on September 11th, 2006

It’s Monday, and for the most part, the parties are over and the film watching begins today. Let’s rewind and take a look back at the weekend.

Saturday, started the day with a 10 a.m. interview with Michael Mabbott, director of “Citizen Duane” … that’s the interview I woke up for on Friday, only to find out I was a day early.

Citizen Duane is a Canadian film about a high school student eager to take down his small town’s most famous family. He can’t overpower the family’s bully son, so he runs for mayor against the mother. As I described it to Mabbott, it’s nothing like Napoleon Dynamite, but it’s in the same genre.

After that at the same hotel was an interview with the star of Entourage, Adrian Grenier, in town to promote his documentary “Shot in the Dark,” a film in which he tries to track down his father. He admitted that he was hesitant to release a film made over half a decade ago that shows him in a vulnerable state, yet ultimately decided that he wanted his story to be told. As for Entourage, he says the next few episodes are not to be missed. Big changes in store.

After that, made it to the 4 Seasons for “The Guardian” junket with a few minutes to spare. Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher spoke with me and about 10 other journalists about the film. I asked Kutcher if he ever considered Punk’ing his wife, Demi Moore. No. He hasn’t.

3 p.m. interviewed Paulo Costanzo, followed by Steph Song, stars of “Everything’s Gone Green.” Right after that, spoke with Doug Smith and Jane McGregor of “Citizen Duane.”

At 6:30, Premiere Magazine hosted a party at its Premiere Lounge for “Rescue Dawn,” the Werner Herzog film starring Christian Bale of “Batman Begins.” He stopped on the red carpet to talk to me about his producer, basketball star Elton Brand.

After that, headed over to a party thrown by Entertainment Tonight to honour Paul Haggis, the man behind the Oscar-winning “Crash.” Big names were supposed to show up, but when I left, only Grenier had walked the carpet.

Then it was back to the Premiere Lounge for the “Ghosts of Cite Soleil” after-party, with a concert by my favourite artist, Wyclef Jean. Best concert ever. More on that later; it deserves its own entry.

Sunday, off to the Carlu for the One x One red carpet. Matt Damon stopped to answer a few questions, as did John Legend. The surprise guest, Brad Pitt, at least stopped for enough time to take a few photos, though when I asked him a question, while his handlers quickly rushed him in, he grazed my hand and said “sorry.” Does that mean I met Brad Pitt? I think the rule is two words equals a meeting. One word means squat.

Then it was another return to Premiere Magazine’s Premiere Lounge for their Edit Party. Saw Mena Suvara and Penelope Cruz milling about. Stuck around as that party turned into one for “The Last Kiss,” starring Zach Braff, and then left for the Entertainment Weekly party at Flow in Yorkville. Celebs included Kevin Costner, Giovanni Ribisi and Lyriq Bent of Saw 3, who seems to be enjoying the Film Fest as he stops by every party imaginable. Also enjoying every party was Lance Bass, who showed up as I left.

And now, Monday can begin.
