There was an early screening ofBarbarianat San Diego Comic-Con and the crowd wasveryvocal, to say the least!

That right there is only scratching the surface of where writer-directorZach Creggertakes things in this film.

In fact, we havent even touched onJustin Longs involvement.

Justin Long Talks Barbarian

A must-ask question during our chat?

Heres what he said:

The first thing is just how naturally its written.

Is that the way people talk?

It had all of that.

I didnt want to play him that way.

And like you said, is there something redeeming about why hes such a [bad guy]?

So all of those things were there in spades and I just loved this story.

Truthfully, I would have wanted to do any part in the movie.

Again, theres a lot going on inBarbarian.

Youll see when the movie hits theaters in September.

Sure enough, Long did have one, but it wasnt specific to his character.

We went out for drinks.

I wanted to know why exactly he called it Barbarian.

Looking for more from Long onBarbarian?
