Matt Stover & Adrienne Wilkinson Interviews Posted By Mike on January 25, 2009
EUC has scored a couple of, fittingly enough, EU centered interviews...
First off, click here for an interview with the voice of Maris Brood in The Force Unleashed, Adrienne Wilkinson. Excerpt below:
EUC: "That sounds great! We will look at your career with much interest. Well, let?s start it off with the basic: how did you get the job of Maris Brood?"
AW: "It started as a regular audition. The only major difference was that unlike most voice over jobs, they wanted to meet me in person. I later found out that was due to the fact that they were looking for actors who could not only bring the right voice and delivery to the characters, but they had prototypes (concept art) of the characters that they were looking to find actors to match. At the audition they explained that they needed actors to create the entire performance not just the voice.
So even the audition was filmed to see not only if I looked like Maris, but if the performance was all they were looking for, and fulfilled all the potential they saw in Maris. I believe I auditioned on one of the first days of Maris auditions. And while I wasn?t confirmed until a few months later ? I was told by casting that they knew when I left, that I was the one?and stopped looking once they had met me. I immediately loved the character, so it was great to hear that they saw the match right away."
Next up, EUC chats with reknown Star Wars author Matthew Stover in an interview that does promise SPOILERS for Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor. Click here at your own risk! Spoiler free excerpt below:
EUC: "How was Mindor ?born??'
MWS: "By emergency C-section. It was so late that Shelly Shapiro sent a squad of stormtroopers to cut the story out of my skull.
The genesis of the idea came from Mike Kogge, a good friend and former Lucasite; one day I was complaining to him about not having a concept for this big blockbuster hardcover I was supposed to be writing, and he mentioned that he?s always been interested in Luke?s decision to give up being a soldier so that he could become a full-tie Jedi. Looking into this transition brought me to The Essential Chronology?s reference to an otherwise unknown warlord called Shadowspawn, and the bloody Battle of Mindor . . ."
