Comic Con 2012: Interview with ParaNorman cast Anna Kendrick, Mintz-Plasse and Smit-McPhee

Last Updated on February 12, 2026

Walking into a Hard Rock Hotel room to speak with the cast of PARANORMAN ended up becoming the best interview that I had had all weekend this year at Comic Con. When I arrived, Anna Kendrick, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Kodi Smit-McPhee were all talking about FUNNY GAMES (the dark thriller by Michael Haneke). The three quickly welcomed me into the conversation. The rest of the interview was an absolute breeze. They couldn’t have been nicer as we discussed their roles in PARANORMAN – which opens on August 17th – and much more. What a terrific group of actors!
