Ah, the Ziegfeld Theatre. The refined, legendary movie house in New York City has played host to hundreds of A-list affairs since its 1969 opening, premiering hundreds of critically-lauded, star-studded films. (Oh, hi Steven Spielberg, Julia Roberts, and Daniel Radcliffe!)

Last night was a different story. After spending months showing Tommy Wiseau’s cult film The Room at New York’s dingy Village East Cinema on the last Friday of every month, Saturation Films — the folks who stage the screenings — decided to class things up a bit by relocating this month’s midnight screening of “the Citizen Kane of bad movies” to the Ziegfeld.

Popdose Gets High on Wiseau

Posted by admin under Interviews

Tommy was kind enough to give me an hour of his time. With The Room’s massive cult following, he is on a whirlwind tour, appearing at screenings while working on his own upcoming projects. Check out this in-depth interview with Tommy to find out how his theater background affected him, what mistakes he thinks he made in The Room, what he is working on next, where he came up with the idea for The Room, the symbolism behind the spoons and football, and much more — including an improvised scene to prove he can add emotion to anything.

Seven years ago, independent filmmaker Tommy Wiseau released a low-budget relationship drama called “The Room.” Originally it played at only one theater in Los Angeles, but slowly the film garnered a huge cult audience. Wiseau has been screening the film around the country at ever-larger venues, and this month he will show it at the AFI Theater in Silver Spring.

If you have ever seen The Room, or perhaps witnessed the strangely reoccurring Los Angeles billboard or surfed the equally creepy website, you’ll understand why casting Tommy Wiseau in a horror parody is nothing short of brilliant. Under the creative direction of Studio 8’s Brock LaBorde (I’ve worked with the man -disclosure! disclosure!) Untitled Tommy Wiseau Studio 8 Horror Project will no doubt explore the limits of absurdity, nerd-dom, and the grotesque—I know this for a fact, because I saw a rough cut but I can’t talk about it yet. Well, I’ll say this: Tommy is in full-blown Wiseau mode.

Tommy Wiseau is not, technically, famous. He has never been on the cover of Us Weekly, nor has he been the subject of salacious rumors on E! — in short, he is the sort of person who can usually walk down the street without being stopped. Yet on a recent Friday night outside New York City’s Ziegfeld Theatre, Wiseau was greeted by a mob of fans. They chanted his name, crowded around him for pictures and roped him into a game of catch. After he entered the theater, the people he left behind spoke in awestruck tones. Said one: “This is the best night of my life.”

Of course Tommy should direct the next Twilight film. That’s a slam dunk.

“Okay, so I know what you’re thinking: “You’re just saying that because you think TWILIGHT sucks, and THE ROOM sucks too!” Au contraire. First of all, I think THE ROOM is AWESOME. Secondly, yes, I do think the first TWILIGHT movie kinda sucks, but I have a much more detailed case to make that Tommy is the man. To start with, he shares the same fashion sense as Jacob:”

The cult hit The Room is fast becoming the Rocky Horror of its generation. Originally released in 2003, the film quickly sank like a stone and seemed destined for obscurity…until it was discovered by a small but enthusiastic contingent of movie geeks and irony-loving hipsters. Since then, midnight screenings have been cropping up all over the country, attended by boisterous fans who dress up like the film’s characters and act out scenes at the front of the theatre. Tommy Wiseau—the movie’s writer, director, producer and star—has fully embraced the hype and even makes appearances at screenings to sign autographs and greet loyal “Roomies”, yet remains strangely tight-lipped about the film’s production, script, and actors. So imagine our delight when Juliette Danielle— The Room ’s leading lady—agreed to be interviewed for Praxis . Juliette is—of course—nothing like her Room character, the deliciously evil and duplicitous Lisa. She rescues feral cats, she likes karaoke, and she has a great sense of humor about The Room and its legions of devoted fans.

The Room in 3D!

Posted by admin under General, Latest News

Tommy Wiseau in 3D

Now when Johnny is torn apart, you can really feel it! Avatar, look out. Tommy tell Boston The Room could be in 3D!

“But a few days before his belated Bean Town touchdown, Wiseau exclusively told MyFoxBoston of his plans to bring “The Room” even closer yet to its devoted fan-base. “We are actually looking at (reformatting) the film in 3-D,” Wiseau told MyFoxBoston through his signature, all-but indecipherable accent from his L.A. home late one recent Friday night.”
