Cast- und Detailinfos zu Sarahs neuem Film "Southland Tales":

Richard Kelly’s SOUTHLAND TALES gets a piece of the Rock and Prudential isn’t involved at all... I think!

Hey folks, Harry here... when’s the last time you saw a studio press release that stated that The Rock, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Seann William Scott were making a film with a strange hybrid of Andy Warhol and Phillip K. Dick’s sensibilities? This project is easily unlike anything you’ve ever seen. This script just never takes any of the expected turns - and from the 3 announced actors through all the others you’ll hear about - they are all radically playing way against their established personalities and types. It is a shake the pillars of heaven cool.

JOHNSON HEADS TO “TALES”

UNIVERSAL PICTURES INTERNATIONAL HOLDS MOST FOREIGN RIGHTS; CHERRY ROAD FILMS AND DARKO ENTERTAINMENT TO PRODUCE

Los Angeles, CA (April 20, 2005) - Cherry Road Films and Darko Entertainment announced today that Dwayne Johnson (aka The Rock) will star opposite Seann William Scott (American Pie, The Dukes of Hazzard) and Sarah Michelle Gellar (The Grudge) in the science-fiction thriller Southland Tales for writer-director Richard Kelly (Donnie Darko). Sean McKittrick will produce under the Darko Entertainment banner he co-founded with Kelly. Cherry Road principals Bo Hyde and Kendall Morgan will produce. Executive producers are Matthew Rhodes and Judd Payne of Persistent Entertainment, Bill Johnson and Jim Seibel of Inferno Distribution, and Oliver Hengst of Academy Film Gmbh.

Principal photography is slated to begin on August 1 in Los Angeles. Cherry Road Films had officially greenlit the picture with co-financing from Universal Pictures International, Inferno Distribution and Wild Bunch, with Universal distributing in most foreign territories through the UIP banner, and Wild Bunch distributing in France, Benelux, Spain and Switzerland . Richard Klubeck of UTA is representing on the domestic front.

Southland Tales is an ensemble piece set in the futuristic landscape of Los Angeles on July 4, 2008, as it stands on the brink of social, economic and environmental disaster. Johnson will star as Boxer Santaros, an action star stricken with amnesia whose life intertwines with Krysta Now (Gellar), an adult film star developing her own reality television project, and David Clark (Scott), a Hermosa Beach police officer who holds the key to a vast conspiracy.

“Dwayne, Seann and Sarah each have an adventurous spirit and I am honored that they have put their faith in me,” said Kelly. “ The film is going to be a strange hybrid of the sensibilities of Andy Warhol and Philip K. Dick. ”

Also joining the project are most of the key crew from Donnie Darko , including director of photography Steven Poster ASC , production designer Alexander Hammond, costume designer April Ferry and editor Sam Bauer. Critically acclaimed artist and producer Moby will compose the music for the film.

In addition to the feature film, an expanded version of Southland Tales will be presented as a nine-part interactive experience with the prequel saga to be published as six separate 100 page graphic novels, each written by Kelly. The graphic novels will be released over a six month period early next year leading up to the film’s release with the feature film comprised of the story’s final three chapters. In addition, the film’s official website will be one of the largest and most elaborate ever designed for a feature film. “The graphic novels will work in tandem with the website, creating a more epic multimedia experience for those interested in taking the plunge," added Kelly.

UTA helped package the project. Glenn Feig of Reder & Feig is production counsel.

Richard Kelly is repped by CAA, The Firm and David Weber of Sloan, Offer, Weber and Dern, LLP.

Cherry Road and Persistent are repped by Linda Lichter at Lichter, Grossman, Nichols & Adler.

Inferno Distribution is repped by Phil Rosen of Rosen & Anderson. For additional information, please visit the film’s official website, SouthLandTales.Com

James im Interview: Metro.co.uk


Alyson hat keinen Kuchen mehr im Ofen:

NO 'PIE' IN THE OVEN: Alyson Hannigan, who tied the knot with Jason Biggs in the third "American Pie" movie, "American Wedding," puts the kibosh on the idea of an "American Baby." Three films were enough, and she's happy to "close the book on that chapter," she says.

Alyson admits she was astonished to hear "there's some sort of 'American Pie 4' going straight to video that has nobody in it. Crew members that I've worked with have come up to me and said, 'Yeah, I worked on it.' Isn't that weird? But I'm interested to see it ... I'll rent it."

Actually, what's being termed a direct-to-DVD "spin-off" of the "American Pie" movies, the upcoming "Band Camp," does have Eugene Levy and Jennifer Coolidge reprising their parental roles, along with Chris Owen as "The Sherminator."

Meanwhile, Hannigan will be back next season in her recurring role as Trina Echolls on "Veronica Mars," and she's eagerly awaiting the fate of "How I Met Your Mother," the pilot she recently shot for CBS. "It stars Neil Patrick Harris, Josh Radnor and Jason Segel from 'Freaks and Geeks,' " she says. "It's all set in flashback with a narrator talking to his teenage children about how he met their mother. It's funny, but it also has such a huge heart to it."

In einem Interview wurde Rob Thomas gefragt ob er denn noch einen weiteren Buffystar in seine Serie "Veronica Mars" bringen wolle. Seine Antwort sah folgend aus:

iF MAGAZINE: Ever thought of bringing more BUFFY people into the show?

THOMAS: My wife to be is friends with Charisma Carpenter who is a huge fan of the show, so I’m waiting for the right moment to throw Charisma into it as well. Between Charisma and Alyson, that’s the extent of my BUFFY plans.

Ain't It Cool News hat seine Meinung zu "Unholy", dem neuen Film mit Nick Brendon, zum besten gegeben:

Adrienne Barbeau retakes the scream queen crown with UNHOLY! Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with an early look at a horror flick starring the stunning Adrienne Barbeau and that Xander guy from Buffy called UNHOLY. Sheldrake did a nice interview with the filmmakers a couple months ago and these guys seem to be very passionate about their work... and according to this review that passion may have paid off in a worthly genre picture. I know I'm excited to see it... I like the idea of it being based on a real government document... Kinda gives it that NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET basis in reality (As you should know, Wes Craven read a newspaper story about a kid -in Asia, I think- who was terrified of going to sleep, convinced he would die... No one believed him, of course... the kid finally gives in to sleep and dies in his sleep. Creepy, eh?)

Anyway, here is the review for UNHOLY! Enjoy!

Hey guys,

I thought it would be fitting to send this review in to go a long with your quarter of a screen Buffy "Xander Harris" figurine add on your sidebar.(And also your previous article following the filmmakers on this film). I'm friends(with benefits, of course) with the BLEEP on the horror/thriller UNHOLY starring Adrienne Barbeau and Nicholas Brendon, and he/she invited me to a screening at the editor's screening room today in NYC.

I never thought Adrienne Barbeau was the sex symbol everyone made her out to be, nor that Buffy actors were God's gift to the acting world, but I tagged along for the screening due to all the guerilla marketing campaign that Unholy has on the net.

I'm glad I tagged a long. Small Spoilers ahead.

The film starts off with a bang (literally) in an opening sequence comprised of Barbeau attempting to convince her daughter not to blow her brains out. It was an opening sequence like I've never seen before . Very original, different, and tense. From there on, I knew this wasn't going to be your ordinary scary flick.

The film then turns into an unraveling mystery/thriller. Why did Barbeau's daughter kill herself? What did she mean by her last words, "Beware of the Experiment" ? Barbeau and her son in the movie, Nick Brendon, go on a twisted to journey to answer these questions.

This is one of those films that has a twist every two minutes, with one HUGE(Sixth Sense Big, but nothing like it) twist at the end.

None of the SFX were finished, so I cant' tell how good they'll be. But there are a few major gore shots(though this is not a gore movie). *Spoiler* One scene is all shot through a hole blow through an old womans stomach by a shotgun. And there are an ARRAY of suicides in this film. I think the kill count is around ten. *End Spoiler*

Each shot was as pretty as it was creepy. Something you don't often see in horror films.

I have to say, I was going in expecting this would be a B Horror Film, but I was shocked that this movie was the original, smart, and innovative. With this movie being based on an actual military document, I will go out on the limb and say these guys have the next Blair Witch on their hands. The amount of buzz and press this film has on the net for not yet going to distributors is unnerving. I still think the film needs a tad of work( some of the cuts were a bit jarring/confusing and one expositional scene describing the three elements of the "unholy trinity" went on for a bit too long), but in the end, this film will be a success.

You can call me Pretty Creepy.

It's taken us a long time, but without further ado....the top 5!


#5 - Hero
[episode 1.9]

Even though the character of Doyle lasted 9 episodes, he certainly made an impact. He gave his visions to Cordelia -- the visions that would play a pivotal role in many, many episodes throughout the show's run. This episode was about going all-out, doing whatever it takes for the mission. The question Joss and others may have in their head is -- if we wouldn't have killed off Doyle, would Glenn Quinn still be alive today? Well, that's not fair to them. They made an entire series from the character's death, and they should be proud in the fact that it was a brilliant idea, and that Glenn had problems when it was happening. We miss Glenn and we miss Doyle, and that's why Hero is #5.


#4 - Not Fade Away
[episode 5.22]

This is the highest a finale has ever been on a list of mine. "Not Fade Away" is brilliant in every way. It sticks by the credo of the show -- "Going out fighting". Doyle did it, Cordelia did it, Fred did it, and now Angel and the rest of the gang did it in this episode. Buffy's finale left something to be desired, this episode did not. It was the perfect way to end the series, regardless of what one or two people say because they want the mega-happy-unrealistic version. Like I said in my first line, I have ZERO finales of all other shows in my top 5's. This then must be ranked the best finale of all-time.


#3 - Lineage
[episode 5.7]

This episode can be argued by some as being a little weaker than I have it, because of the ninja robots. Sure, it sounds funny, but the idea of the "two Wesleys" is really why this is as high as it is. Wesley had become the most interesting character on the show, and this is the milestone of it. We see him as the clutzy head boy with his "father", and then as he shoots his "father" for threatening Fred, we see what he had become. The character had made it full circle.


#2 - Fredless
[episode 3.5]

I love the concept of family. In "Fredless", we get the concept two-fold. Fred's blood family, and then Fred's new family. Her parents are so awesome. They remind me a lot of my own. The way the two families merge to destroy the spider-looking demons in this episode is where it truly got me. Some may argue that this episode is too high up on the list, that it should be in the 20's or so, but I say that's crap. If you went away without a smile on your face from this one, then I wish you could have a day with your folks where you don't fight. One where you relax and understand each other. Maybe then you'll get why this is so far up the ladder for me.

And finally we reach the end.....


#1 - A Hole In The World
[episode 5.15]

When I started the list, I knew exactly which episode would be #1. There was no doubt. The sadness, the grief, the pain, the anger, the happiness, the brilliance of this episode can not be denied. We go from Fred and Wes being happy and in love, to the moment of sheer terror as Fred gets the disease that will soon rush through her at a rapid speed and eventually kill her. The moments in bed, as we see Wesley taking care of his greatest love, as he watches her die and the demon takes over. We see Angel and Spike do everything they can to save her, only to understand that if they try to, they'll be killing untold millions. We see Gunn struggle with his grief as he finds out that he allowed this to happen. We see the gang 'man-up' to help Fred -- "Not this girl, not this time", only to find out it's an unsolvable problem. It is perhaps, the best episode Joss Whedon has ever written, and quite possibly the best episode of the two shows combined. There is not one weak moment on camera, there is not one weak moment on the script. It is absolutely crushing to view, but all the while brilliant. That's why "A Hole in the World" is #1.

And now....the top 10. This was EXTREMELY hard.



#10 - Innocence
[episode 2.14]

This is primarily this high because of the impact it had on the future of the series. There's a lot of loss. Angel loses his soul, and Buffy, in turn, loses Angel. Oh yeah, and her virginity. You also have to give it to David Boreanaz, because Angelus is so sly and so not over-the-top. He isn't an arch-villain type, he's evil in a slick way. It's brilliantly played, which is something that can't be said about him that often. Plus...hey....rocket launcher.


#9 - Chosen
[episode 7.22]

The series finale had some holes, I'll grant you. But at the same time it was the SERIES FINALE. We received a hella cool fight scene. We also got some great moments between the scoobies. The two scenes that bring this episode into the top ten are the most obvious ones. The original scoobies in a circle together harkening (harkening, what the hell?) back to the very first episode. And the second one is Buffy's smile in the very last scene. We had been waiting for her to feel happy finally, and we got that in the last frame.


#8 - Becoming (1&2)
[episode 2.22]

The finale of season 2 was the first time that the show felt cinematic in quality. It felt like it could actually be a movie. Drusilla has killed Kendra and taken Giles. Now it's up to Willow to get Angel's soul back. Meanwhile, Spike has joined forces with Buffy to stop Angel and Dru from ending the world. It's so fantastically crafted. The ending leaves a bit of a question mark over your head, which is what it was intended to do, so I guess that worked. Of course, Buffy wearing overalls shows grief and despair....if you didn't get that already from her running away.


#7 - Hush
[episode 4.10]

For over 30 minutes in a 44 minute episode there was no dialogue. In the year 2000 on TV, who can say that could be pulled off? We have crap reality TV shows and crap sitcoms, and people talking over each other on 24-hour cable news shows.....and in the midst of all this bullshit came HUSH. A breathtaking (pun intended) score, some creepy bad guys, and acting that should've been recognized and brandished with awards.


#6 - Dopplegangland
[episode 3.16]

Why is this so high? Because it's the funniest episode ever. It's over-the-top without being TOO over-the-top. After a spell goes wrong, the Willow for the alternate dimension - who happens to be a vampire - appears in Sunnydale. The gang, after seeing this vampire Willow, thinks it's the real Willow....in other words, they think she's dead. The scene in the library when Willow walks in - fluffy pink shirt and all - is the reason this is so high. "Say, you all didn't happen to do a bunch of drugs, did ya?" - to Angel's reaction when he runs in....it's all hilarious. Plus...that Vampire Willow is kinda gay. What's up with that?


#5 - Conversations with Dead People
[episode 7.7]

I love how this is constructed. The time is shown on the tv screen, with the date. The music that plays in the background. Buffy's "Here we go." There are certain scenes that are wasted, particularly between Willow and Cassie (which should've been Tara, but as we all know, they couldn't get Amber). But that still doesn't mean the rest wasn't brilliant...because it was. Michelle T really shows her chops finally, and the stuff with Jonathan and Andrew is great. We get a lot of info about the season, but at the same time it's muffled. I still think Webs could've been the next Dr. Phil, but that damned slayer pretty much ruined that.


#4 - The Gift
[episode 5.22]

The best season finale of Buffy. Mainly in part because Joss wasn't sure if the show was coming back. So he tossed out the whole bag in this one. The first scene was the mission statement -- the blonde girl kills evil things instead of the evil things killing her. The funny part is, she died at the end. Oh well....talk about irony. It's a very dramatic end, and we wouldn't want it any other way.


#3 - The Body
[episode 5.16]

Joss was really starting to feel it as a director by the time "The Body" came around. This is the episode where Joyce dies, but it's not really ABOUT Joyce, it's about death in general and those first few days after the death occurs. What do you do? How do you react? Do you even react? It's so realistic, and so ON POINT that it's scary. Everyone handles it differently. Willow cries and changes shirts, Xander gets mad and punches a wall, Tara holds it together because she's been here before, Dawn wants to know if she's really dead and won't believe it until she sees the body....and Buffy is just cold and paralyzed. It's so sad that it's beautiful.


#2 - Once More, With Feeling
[episode 6.7]

It's a musical....on TELEVISION? NO WAY! Who would have the balls to do that? Well...I guess we get the answer here. There is absolutely NOT one scene that is weak in OMWF. The music is spectacular. The way that every song fits the story should be applauded. Joss could've just left the story out and done some off-topic schtick, but he didn't. Here he pieces every storyline together to fit the music, and not only that, but for the first time in the show's history, they air it in widescreen. It's crafted to perfection. How did he think this up? Bunnies. It must be bunnies. Or maybe midgets.


#1 - Restless
[episode 4.22]

Why is Restless #1? Because it's the only episode to put together our main characters past, present and futures all in 44 minutes. Willow was a nerd, she's become a powerful wiccan, and she will get more confidence as the years go on. Xander has been weak, and he's stuck, but sooner or later he'll move out of the basement and become his own man. Giles was the watcher, he's trapped with no job and nothing to do, but he'll be the great watcher again. Buffy is the slayer, but what is a slayer? Is it a killer? She's also a protector, and soon she'll have much more to protect. All of our characters' lives will change, and in this episode it is brilliantly put together. The cinematography is so alive and vibrant that it, as Becoming before it and OMWF after it, could be a movie. You have to love the scenes. Willow in the play, Xander and Snyder doing "Apocalypse Now". Buffy and the first Slayer in the desert. Giles taking Buffy to the fair. Xander, Buffy, Spike and Giles outside at the park. And don't forget the cheese man. Who could? I loved, loved, loved everything about Restless. That's why it's #1.

Welcher Star des Whedonverse hat es geschafft in der nächsten TV-Season auf dem Bildschirm erscheinen zu dürfen? Die Antwort gibt es im Laufe dieser Woche im Thread "Die Pilots '05 mit alten Bekannten aus dem Whedonverse".

[Kasi]

Im Zuge der Cliffhangerzeit im US-TV hat der Boston Herald die Top 10 der besten Cliffhanger zusammengestellt. Buffys freiwilliger Tod kam dabei auf Platz 8. Hier die Übersicht:

It's no dream: `Who Shot J.R.?' is top cliffhanger

It's TV cliffhanger time again: Will George kill off Rex and run away with Bree on ``Desperate Housewives''? Will the ``Lost'' castaways pull a ``Castaway'' andescape their island prison on a raft? Will Quentin Tarantino deliver an F-bomb-free finale on CSI''?

In honor of the time-honored tradition of keeping viewers on the edge of their seats until the fall season, Inside TV comes out with its list of the Top 10 TV cliffhangers of all time.

And not surprising, checking in at No. 1 is ``Dallas'' for ``Who Shot J.R.?''

The 1981 episode had millions wondering if long-suffering wife Sue Ellen Ewing (Linda Gray) finally pulled the trigger on her cheating hubby, played by Larry Hagman. It topped ``Friends,'' ``Alias,'' and ``The Sopranos'' as the top cliffhanger of all time.

Here's the Top 10:

9. "STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION'' - "Abducted by Borgs'' (1990): Capt. Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) was abducted by the Borg and brainwashed, forcing Commander Will Riker (Jonathan Frakes) to attempt a daring rescue.

8. "BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER'' - "Buffy's Big Sacrifice'' (2001): Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) sacrificed her life to save her sister Dawn and the rest of the world.

7. "SOUTH PARK" - "Who's Cartman's Dad?'' (1999): The paternity of the meanest, fattest kid on TV had fans guessing.

6. "THE PRACTICE'' - "Who Stabbed Lindsay?'' (1999): Lindsay (Kelli Williams) was stabbed by an unknown assailant wearing a nun's habit.

5. "24'' - "The Flesh-Eating Disease'' (2003): President Palmer (Dennis Haysbert) collapsed after shaking hands with a crowd of supporters including an assassin, who had transferred a poisonous flesh-eating disease to his hand.

4. "THE SOPRANOS'' - "Tony Moves Out'' (2002): Carmela (Edie Falco) was happy Tony (James Gandolfini) bought a beach house until his Russian lover called to taunt her about their affair.
