Can you believe it’s been two years since Pearl Jam Twenty debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival? You can check out some goodies over on the PJ20 page, but I thought we would share this “Inside Pearl Jam Twenty” Interview with Cameron from Pearl Jam Radio on Sirius. This is the full length 1 hour and 12 minute interview. Enjoy!

Now that most of you have seen Pearl Jam Twenty, I thought it was a good time to share the Toronto International Film Festival press conference with you. This footage is courtesy of Now magazine. My videos didn’t turn out nearly this good. I’ve also transcribed the press conference, if you’d like to read it, you can here.

One day . . . you'll be cool

Time Flies! This week marks the 11th birthday of Almost Famous. The movie debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 8, 2000, and began it’s North American release on the 13th.

Cameron writes about the film coming together and casting Patrick Fugit in this Rolling Stone cover story. This is also great time to dig into the Production Notes, check out a breakdown of the entire song list in order or view the collection of posters from around the world.

Share your thoughts. Can you believe its been eleven years?! Favorite scene? Which version of the film do you prefer?

Pearl Jam Twenty: World Premiere Recap

Comments Off

That’s right. Pearl Jam Twenty had its world premiere yesterday at 2pm (EST) at the beautiful Princess of Wales Theatre in Toronto as part of the  36th annual Toronto International Film Festival. In addition to the 1,500 fans, Cameron, Jeff Ament, Matt Cameron, Boom Gaspar, Stone Gossard, Mike McCready, Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell were in attendance.

The energy and the crowd were tremendous. PJ fans such as Jennifer and Tanya (pictured above) waited in line for 8 hours to get a front row seat. There were bursts of applause throughout and certainly some tears as well. The venue was an absolutely gorgeous place to host the event and the recently installed sound system was stunning. Here’s a few pictures that I took as Cameron and the band arrived.

 

Over the next few weeks, I will be posting video footage from the press conference with the band and Cameron that was held after the screening. Since the press conference deals with some spoilers from the film, I’d like to wait until many of you have seen the film.

Pearl Jam Twenty – World Premiere at TIFF + Trailer!

Comments Off

That’s right. Pearl Jam Twenty will have its world premiere at the 36th annual Toronto International Film Festival. TIFF lists the final running time at 120 minutes, but that’s not confirmed as of yet. Also, in addition to the previously announced Neil Young and Chris Cornell interviews, it seems that Kurt Cobain interview footage will also be present the film. It sounds like a great time to be in Toronto as Pearl Jam will be playing back to back concerts at the Air Canada Centre on September 11th and 12th.

Would you like to see the trailer too? Here you go. The trailer, screening info and much more can be found at PJ20.com
