3 June 2013 9:32 AM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
Roger Bart has secured a four-episode arc as Matt LeBlanc’s agent on the upcoming season of Showtime’s “Episodes.”
Halfhour comedy centers on a fictional version of Matt LeBlanc and the Hollywood TV biz, as a Brit show is brought to America and casts LeBlanc in order to make the show friendlier to U.S. auds. Paybler ordered a nine-episode third season of the comedy last fall.
Bart has recently appeared on USA’s “Political Animals” and ABC’s “Revenge.” He is repped by Jonathan Howard at Innovative Artists and Michael Baum at Impression Entertainment.
Showtime has also found its leading man for drama pilot “The Affair,” tapping Dominic West to topline the project.
West, who starred in HBO’s “The Wire,” will play Noah, a husband and father of four whose life is turned upside down when he meets a woman he believes to be his soul mate. »

Inside Mann: William Goldenberg talks about The Insider
29 May 2013 6:24 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Trevor Hogg chats with William Goldenberg about the movie which resulted in him and Michael Mann receiving their first Oscar nominations...
“The process was similar because it is the same director but I remember reading the script that he and Eric Roth [Forrest Gump] wrote, and thought at that moment of my career that it was the best script I had ever read,” recalls William Goldenberg who earned the respect of Michael Mann for his film editing work on Heat (1995) that he was hired again for The Insider (1999). “When they got Al Pacino [Serpico] and Russell Crowe [Man of Steel], I thought even before the movie started that there was a chance that it would be phenomenal.” Crowe was particularly impressive in the movie chronicling the CBS 60 Minutes scandal which resulted in a news item being pulled off the air due to corporate intervention. “If he did 15 takes they were all great. It was which great one to use and why? »

Film Review: ‘A Green Story’
23 May 2013 5:44 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
“Inspired by true events,” earnest but clunky inspirational drama “A Green Story” chronicles the struggles of a Greek emigre who rises from poverty to become the leading inventor of eco-friendly household cleaning solvents. It’s about as exciting as that sounds, despite reasonably slick presentation by writer-director-producer Nika Agiashivili. Some familiar names in supporting roles will help boost visibility, but prospects for the pic (which opens theatrically in New York and Los Angeles this Friday) are modest at best in any format.
Played in maturity by Ed O’Ross, Van Vlahakis is a gloomy self-made man who’s owner and CEO of “Earth-Friendly Products,” an innovator in the field of “green” detergents. Flashbacks reveal his angst
as stemming from the childhood loss of a father to Nazi occupiers; a rough initial landing in the U.S., including time in a homeless shelter (with George Finn as the young adult Van »

CBS Films has released the first trailer for director Jon Turtletaub’s (National Treasure) upcoming comedy Last Vegas. The film stars Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, and Kevin Kline as four old friends who decide to throw a Las Vegas bachelor party for the only one of them who has remained single (Douglas). This teaser trailer sells the film hard as “The Hangover with old guys,” but despite the forced premise, Last Vegas actually looks like it could be kind of fun. All four of the lead actors are Academy Award winners, and it’s interesting to see someone like Freeman just completely let loose and go full-on comedy. Hit the jump to watch the trailer. The film also stars Mary Steenburgen, Jerry Ferrara, Romany Malco, and Roger Bart. Last Vegas opens on November 1st. Via Yahoo! Movies. Here’s the official synopsis for Last Vegas: Billy »

'Revenge' Season 2 finale: Someone is going to die -- who could it be?
12 April 2013 6:58 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Before "Revenge" Season 2 finishes its finale this May, one central member of the show's cast will die. The exact identity of the victim is not known, but it will be someone important. Could it be Daniel? Aiden? Emily herself?
We will have to wait until the two-hour finale airs on Sunday, May 12, but we can guess about the dead person's identity in the meantime.
There are only a few clues to go on. TVLine quotes "Revenge creator Mike Kelley as saying the death (which is not a fake-out this time) will be "one of our core cast members." The identity of the victim will be known by the end of the finale -- so we don't have to wait until the next season like we did with Victoria last year.
Finally, there is one more hint: "It'll be a surprise who it is," Kelley said. "It's certainly a surprise to Emily. »

Indie Spotlight
3 March 2013 9:02 AM, PST | DailyDead | See recent DailyDead news »
We return with the latest edition of the Indie Spotlight, highlighting recent independent horror news sent our way. Today’s feature includes release details for A Resurrection, the first teaser trailer for Ten, a review of Smiley, and much more:
First Teaser Trailer for Ten: “Ten is a collectivist, post-exploitation psychological thriller devised as a possible explanation for the events of the 1972 Spektor Island Massacre. On a cold December afternoon, ten women arrive at a mansion on Spektor Island, famed for years of reported hauntings and strange activities. Will they live through the night?
The all-female cast film is a response to exploitation, slasher, and thriller films, with particular focus on the kind of storytelling prominent in b-movies and genre films from the 1950s to the 1980s. It explores the meaning and fluidity of identity and takes a number of surprising turns, paying homage to filmmakers and producers such as Alfred Hitchcock, »

Exclusive: Shane Dawson Talks Smiley

Shawn Dawnson Talks Smiley, available this week on DVD
Evil wears a smile in director Michael J. Gallagher's Smiley, which arrives on DVD this week. After learning of an urban legend in which a demented serial killer named Smiley can be summoned through the Internet, mentally fragile Ashley must decide whether she is losing her mind or becoming Smiley's next victim.
We recently caught up with one of the stars of the film, Shane Dawson, who has amassed a huge fanbase online for his hilarious Youtube videos. Smiley serves as the actor's first feature role, and a dramatic departure from the comedy skits he's known for. Soon to be a major force in entertainment and a household name before the end of the decade (you may not know him yet, but your kids sure do), we sat down with Shane to find out more about the movie, and his involvement in it. »

Exclusive Interview: Writer/Director Michael Gallagher Talks Smiley, Sequel Plans and More
13 February 2013 1:05 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
This week Michael Gallagher's indie urban legend slasher Smiley arrives on DVD via Arc Entertainment. Gallagher's film explores the dangers of Internet chatting through a serial killer that can be summoned if given the proper command ("I did it for the lulz").
Smiley is a bit of Candyman meets Bloody Mary meets Hackers (minus Matthew Lillard's sweet braids of course); and Dread Central recently hopped on the phone with Gallagher to talk about what inspired the story, his experiences working with both his younger stars as well as the more seasoned actors including Roger Bart, Keith David and Liza Weil, and whether or not Smiley will strike fear into computers once again in a sequel.
Dread Central: It's funny to me just how much technology has changed society in the last ten years; it's even something you can see when watching movies. Was that something that resonated with »

FEARnet Movie Review: 'Smiley'
12 February 2013 1:00 PM, PST | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
After a number of years spent sifting through independently-produced horror movies of every size, shape, quality, and nationality, one starts to notice the little intangibles. Things like intent, effort, and passion -- and, on the other hand, stuff like laziness, cynicism, and outright plagiarism. One of the recent "discoveries" on my horror rounds was an American indie called Smiley that, oddly enough for such a tiny film, earned itself a small theatrical run a few months back, probably because the sales agent knew what s/he was doing. Michael J. Gallagher's monumentally uneventful slasher flick Smiley comfortably joins the ranks of films like Chain Letter, Blood Creek, and Creature: low-rent horror flicks that play theaters only so the DVD sales sheets can legally say "fresh off a successful theatrical run!"
Because not even the creators of Smiley could believe that a movie this woeful could pack any appreciable number »

Entertainment One has announced the DVD release of Freaky Deaky on February 26. This adaptation of the Elmore Leonard novel will be priced at $19.98 Srp. Take a look at the cover art and special features below.
Chris Mankowski (Billy Burke) used to be on the Detroit Police bomb squad, but it's not until he's transferred to sex crimes that he gets a real taste of juggling dynamite. After falling for the lovely Greta Wyatt (Sabina Gadecki), he gets suspended for investigating the rich, powerful and drunk Woody Ricks (Crispin Glover). Taking matters into his own hands, Mankowski quickly realizes it won't be easy to get justice for Greta. From former Black Panther Donnell Lewis (Michael Jai White) to sexy ex-fugitive Robin Abbott (Breanne Racano) and her erstwhile bombing partner Skip Gibbs (Christian Slater), everyone wants something from Ricks. With all these unscrupulous deviants in the mix, one thing's for certain... it's gonna get freaky! »
