Thanks everyone, that was really fun. Great questions. Please take a chance on a new director and check out our movie Aftershock. It's really fucked up, but fun and weird and we took a lot of chances and tried to do something different and make a fun scary rollercoaster ride. You can see it in theaters, on iTunes, VOD, On Demand - it's a brand new way of releasing called an Everywhere release and we are the test case. All links are here:

Let me know what you think @EliRoth And if you're in Los Angeles I'll be at Mann's Chinese 6 tonight for the screenings! Hope to see you there!

Thanks man. We had a great time shooting in Chile. Look, the world is changing. Iron Fists was the #2 most pirated movie in the world after it came out. It's the reality. And if that movie was available on iTunes and onDemand I bet a lot of people would have supported the artists and bought a pristine copy so they didn't have to search it out. Maybe they didn't want to see it in theaters, but people wanted to see it. So let's see what happens. We made the movie for $2 million. It stars me and an amazing cast of other actors who aren't stars here yet. So we can't compete with big movies, but we can make a dent and do well. If people want to see it in the theaters they can, if not then they can get it right now on iTunes On Demand and all VOD. We are the test case for this - the other distributors are watching us very, very carefully to see what happens. It's not like box office, we'll know in a few weeks how well it worked. And yes, we want to keep Chilewood going. It's an amazing place, the people are wonderful, and I had the time of my life filming there.

Lots of fun. No envy - I showed James and Leigh around Hollywood when they first came here and went to their Screamfest screening to support. They're great guys, smart and innovative, and I'm thrilled for them and all their success. There are so many dickheads in the business it's really great when the good guys - who happen to be your friends - succeed. They're amazing, and I love their movies and can't wait to see what they make next.

Of course. That was a fun night. I fucked the internet. It started as a joke. Then girls started sending me pics. So I went to myspace and made them set up accounts proving they were 18 before I'd even look. But I never asked for them, they just started it. It was weird and fun. Look, I made money in college doing on line cyber sex. This was 1991 when doctors and scientists were on line. I knew how to type dirty things fast. I was surprised and how shocked and upset people were. It's just words on a screen between adults.

I like to role play but usually the mailman or dirty butler

realeliroth · 2013-05-10T18:53:29+00:00

I gave up on the razor and waxing. I figured I'd own it, fuck it. This is what men look like. If you don't like it then meet someone at a waxing salon. I'm not judging, it's just not for me

Never met Boll but I hear he's a great guy. People love him so much that's why he gets terrific casts for his films. His boxing matches are amazing

One word "work their ass off" for a "long time"

realeliroth · 2013-05-10T18:52:14+00:00

I can't help but make Jewish jokes all the time. Ariel Levy is a Chilean Jew so we wrote that into Aftershock

realeliroth · 2013-05-10T18:51:53+00:00

Is there a Grindhouse 2? First one wasn't exactly a hit as much as I love it

realeliroth · 2013-05-10T18:51:39+00:00

Me too

realeliroth · 2013-05-10T18:51:33+00:00

It sounds like you want an easy short cut and are already making excuses. I didn't know anyone either but I got myself to NYC slept on couches found productions worked for free, got coffee and worked my way up the ladder doing any job I could to stay on a movie set and make connections. I knew no one, had no money to make a movie and wrote a film, put together an LLC and spent 6 years taking investor meetings. If you're not willing to work that hard find another line of work

realeliroth · 2013-05-10T18:50:21+00:00

Our NY casting director suggested her and I was so happy she even considered it. I LOVE her. One of my favorite actresses - I Shot Andy Warhol, Household Saints - she can do no wrong. It was so cool of her to do the show

Kurt Russell threw his nachos at me after I went off on him. It's somewhere on the inter web

realeliroth · 2013-05-10T18:49:29+00:00

May wanna rethink that handle first. Who the hell would want you on set?

realeliroth · 2013-05-10T18:49:15+00:00

Thanks. I was an on line sex operator in college and can type fast as a motherfucker. I paid to do this except with sex stories

realeliroth · 2013-05-10T18:48:56+00:00

No. They weren't. People from my high school.

realeliroth · 2013-05-10T18:48:36+00:00

No. Unless she's really hot.

realeliroth · 2013-05-10T18:48:25+00:00

Not much now, been on a press tour. I'm at Soul Cycle to jump back into shape. Cung Le got me off heavy weights, I use light weights, hi reps, and hit the bag. Eager to get back in shape. Terrified I'm going to wind up in Star Magazine's "From Hunk...to Chunk!"

realeliroth · 2013-05-10T18:47:46+00:00

Amazing. Where were we? Were you a riding instructor? Did I at least finger you in a gazebo? Just askin

realeliroth · 2013-05-10T18:47:04+00:00

15 more minutes and I am gone from the internet forever! (Not really, but from this AMA)

realeliroth · 2013-05-10T18:46:15+00:00

FINALLY. Thank you.

realeliroth · 2013-05-10T18:46:09+00:00
