Thanks awesome man. Just awesome! What did he say about the film? He said the film was cool yet weird for him. He stated that having a $50 million budget freaked him out while the movie people kept telling him that was a "small" film budget. He stated they shared a soundstage with the Star Wars films and that Star Wars filming was behind a massive giant metal door, and at the end of shooting they wold dump our a ton of set decorations used that day and the Anhihilation crew would steal the refuse and use it in the anhihilation movie. hahahahah.

Based on everything I've heard about the cast (Natalie Portman as Biologist; Jennifer Jason Leigh as Psychologist), the director (dude who did Ex-Machina) -- not to mention the fucking MUSIC by Geoff Barrow of Portishead!! -- it's going to be fucking incredible. - He said that he was shocked to see that the all-female cast is tiny people. He said that he was on set when the ladies first wore all their costuming and they walked towards him from about 20 feet away but they did not get any bigger, since they are all TINY, and it warped his visual spatial sense for a minute. He said that several of the actors read all three books before filming which was awesome for him as he expected none of them to read anything other than the script.

Are they going to do all three, or just ANNIHILATION? All Three, if the first one is good.

Did you tell him you got into his books through this awesome SY and Kanye fan names Severian who also does journalism-y stuff and should maybe work in publishing? Yes I did. First thing I said to him, besides hello, was that you introduced me to his work and that I read all three area x novels becuse of it. I handed him my card and asked him if he could to go read my reviews of his books, and let me know what his thoughts were. I did n't mention Kanye because I did not want Jeff Vandermeer to get the wrong impression of you. hahahahahhahah!

Seriously.
Answer my question.
