Celebrities of reason


The trailer looks pretty damn promising and the guest list is kinda awesome.

Which one of the celebrities in the movie do you look forward to see/hear the most?

My pick: Cormack McCarthy & James Randi. True legends!

Of course I'm interested in hearing Randi as he was the guy I watched work (debunking James Hydrick's claims for having telekinetic abilities on national TV when I was about 9 or 10, I'd had an interest in magic and UFOs but had never heard of Randi at the time) who introduced me to skepticism and critical thinking, but I didn't know Cormac McCarthy had anything to say on the topic of this film (though I've read a few of his novels) so I'll be looking forward to his appearance too.

The trailer does look promising.

Woody Allen is who I'm looking forward to the most; other than his films, you almost never hear from him anymore, let alone get interviews with him. So yeah, that should be pretty cool.

But really, I'm just looking forward to everyone and everything. This is going to be great!

I have to say I'm really curious about the appearance of Cameron Diaz just because I would never have thought that she even cared about a topic like this. I never really had much interest in that woman but now she suddenly got interesting ;)
Besides that I am of course excited to see all the usual suspects like Harris, Gervais, Randi or Tim Minchin since I've been following their work for years now.

You might enjoy seeing Cameron Diaz on this episode of the Graham Norton show--she was so thrilled to be sitting next to David Attenborough. This is what made me realize she was such an enthusiast for science.

@ grumpy_otter: Thanks for the link. Very cool clip!

All of them. I am really looking forward to watching and listening to Sam Harris. I think he argues very relaxed, convincing and with very good examples. Besides those qualities, I think he is very charismatic. I saw parts of a debate he had against William Lane Graig. Harris looks real cool.

I really wonder what Colbert's going to say. It's always dumbfounded me how such a sharp, intelligent man could be an avowed catholic.
