Wired.com interviewed some really amazing people in 2010. We talked to director Tim Burton about Alice in Wonderland. We spoke to *127 Hours* director Danny Boyle about working with James Franco (and a rock). And we got into sci-fi with *Splice* director Vincenzo Natali and *Tron: Legacy* cast and crew members. Zombies were bloody big this year, too: We interviewed Robert Kirkman about The Walking Dead and talked with "Godfather of the Dead" George A. Romero, who practically created the genre. We also caught up with original badass Danny Trejo and maverick helmer Robert Rodriguez when they showed up at Comic-Con International to talk their Mex-ploitation film, Machete.
