Icons Exclusive Interview: Director Darren Lynn Bousman
11 May 2012 9:46 PM, PDT | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »
*Editor’s note: This interview originally appeared on Icons Of Fright’s sister site Massive Hysteria back in September of 2010. With this week’s DVD/Blu-Ray releases of both Mother’S Day and 11-11-11, we thought we’d present it again to the Icons audience completely unedited and uncut. Check it!
Considering director Darren Lynn Bousman’s impressive body of work, which spans over 3 Saw sequels, the crazy rock musical Repo! The Genetic Opera, an episode of NBC’s short lived Fear Itself TV series and the upcoming remake of Mother’S Day, it’s a surprise that we never got him in the hot seat for an extensive Icons Of Fright interview. So, with the launch of Massive Hysteria, we decided that he would make for the ideal interviewee to kick things off in style!
Bousman invited Mh over to his place for our career spanning lengthy chat, »

Title: The Iron Lady Directed by: Phyllida Lloyd Stars: Meryl Streep, Jim Broadbent, Richard E. Grant and Anthony Head Running time: 105/minutes, PG-13, Available on DVD Elderly Margaret Thatcher, suffering the effects of dementia, speaks with her dead husband Denis and reminisces about her girlhood to her reign as the first female Prime Minister. Meryl Streep won an Oscar for her role in this film, and by now, the Academy should just set one aside for her yearly, so someone else can at least get a chance to hold that statue. She was fantastic as always, and really nailed down that voice and the make-up effects were excellent. I tend [ Read More ] »

The Iron Lady Blu-Ray Review
27 April 2012 12:56 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Director: Phyllida Lloyd
Starring: Meryl Streep, Jim Broadbent, Anthony Head, Richard. E Grant
Running Time: 100 minutes approx
Certificate: 12A
Extras: Trailers, Numerous Set Featurettes, Colours, Costume and Characters, From Script To Screen
If winter is awards season spring is most definitely the time awards-fodder is released on your favourite home entertainment format; kicking off a couple of months of Oscar-winning releases is The Iron Lady (2011).
Telling the story of an extraordinarily polarising figure, the first, and only, female British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, the film won Oscars for Best Make-Up and Best Actress In A Leading Role for Meryl Streep. Given the level of love and hate that spread, almost equally, across the country for Thatcher the film was always going to have difficulty in pleasing everyone, but how did director Phyllida Lloyd (Mamma Mia – 2008) and Writer Abi Morgan (Shame – 2011) do?
Well, The Iron Lady has one massive problem, which is also its greatest success, »

Joss Whedon Says There's Still Hope For Buffy Spin-Off Ripper
19 April 2012 5:19 AM, PDT | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »
I'm sure most Buffy fans will remember back when there was talk of Rupert Giles - Buffy's mentor/father figure played brilliantly by Anthony Head - getting his own solo series. Apparently it was something that very nearly happened, and would have been set in Giles' native UK, back when he had earned the nic-name "Ripper". It was assumed that since so much time had passed that Whedon must have given up on the idea, but not so. In an in-depth interview with The Av Club, the director still sounds enthusiastic about making the show - at least in some form!.. “The thing about Ripper – the essence of it – is that the BBC came to me at one point like, ‘It doesn’t have to be Ripper. It can just be [Anthony Stewart Head], and there’s magic, and he’s Tony, cuz he’s awesome.’ And that’s the thing: For some reason, »
Joss Whedon's Buffy Spin-Off Ripper Still a Possibility
18 April 2012 1:30 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Joss Whedon is one hell of a busy guy, and after The Avengers is released in theaters chances are he's going to get even busier. Among working on an adaptation of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, a supernatural Romance film called In Your Eyes, the Buffy and Angel comics, Dr. Horrible 2, and a possible Avengers sequel, the filmmaker/writer has recently revealed that he also hasn't given up on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer spin-off series Ripper.
For those of you not familiar with this Ripper project, it follows the adventures of Buffy's mentor and teacher Rupert Giles played by Anthony Stewart Head. Ripper is a nickname taken from Giles' early days as an occultist, and the story would "focus on Giles alone in England, struggling with loneliness and getting into ghostly adventures." The series idea has been in existence since 2001 and has been discussed as being a possible miniseries, »

'Buffy' spinoff 'Ripper' could still happen, says Joss Whedon
18 April 2012 11:19 AM, PDT | digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »
Joss Whedon has revealed that he is still interested in a new Buffy spinoff. Proposed series Ripper - first mooted as early as 2001 - would follow Giles (Anthony Head) as he battles the paranormal in England. "You could make that now, or you could make it ten years from now," Whedon told The A.V. Club. "I've tortured Tony more than any other living human with [promises of] 'We're definitely gonna do this!', because I thought we were." Whedon added that 58-year-old Head is "still right" for the show and "could still bring it". "That's the (more) »

Joss Whedon's Buffy spin-off Ripper could still happen, under a different name
18 April 2012 8:46 AM, PDT | Shadowlocked | See recent Shadowlocked news »
In an excellent interview with The Av Club, covering topics as diverse as The Cabin in the Woods, The Avengers, spoilers, horror movies, ironic detachment, and fan expectations, Joss Whedon teased the possibility of the long-rumoured Ripper spin-off, featuring Anthony Stewart Head’s Giles character from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, finally happening. Except it seems it wouldn’t be an official spin-off (probably due to rights issues), but rather (presumably) a very similar project to what was originally intended.
“No, the thing about Ripper—the essence of it—is that the BBC came to me at one point like, “It doesn’t have to be Ripper. It can just be [Anthony Stewart Head], and there’s magic, and he’s Tony, cuz he’s awesome.””
This tells us two awesome things: 1) The BBC talks like Joss Whedon, and 2) there might still be hope for the project to actually happen at some point.

Blu-ray Review: ‘The Iron Lady’ Wastes Meryl Streep’s Brilliant Portrayal
17 April 2012 6:34 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – The best scene in Phyllida Lloyd’s biopic, “The Iron Lady,” takes place in a doctor’s office as former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher insists that she’s doing perfectly well, thank you very much. The bullheaded determination that fueled her spectacular success and garnered a fiery backlash has now manifested itself in her elderly years as a warm but firm stubbornness.
As Thatcher, Meryl Streep performs Olympian miracles with the dialogue, allowing her wistful passion to shine through her fatigued frustration. The ever-immersive actress vanishes behind the makeup of her longtime collaborator, J. Roy Helland, and the remarkable prosthetics of Mark Coulier (all three earned well-deserved Oscars for their efforts). When the doctor asks how she’s feeling, Thatcher delivers a disgruntled monologue about how modern society cares more about feelings than thoughts and ideas. A sudden interruption to their conversation provides an out for Thatcher, and Streep »

Dollhouse's Enver Gjokaj “unable to confirm or deny” being in The Avengers
16 April 2012 11:12 PM, PDT | Shadowlocked | See recent Shadowlocked news »
As we reported earlier, the fan favourite Dollhouse actor Enver Gjokaj has just joined Twitter, and he’s already interacting with fans and providing interesting answers to their questions. And when asked about his possible involvement in The Avengers, given that there’s someone who looks like him in the trailer, he only replied “unable to confirm or deny. Dying to see it.”
While his eagerness to see the movie is no doubt shared by millions of fans around the world who are waiting for the release date, exacerbated by the infuriatingly positive reports coming from preview screenings (Why does time move so slowly?), it’s the first half of the tweet that’s most intriguing.
Well, there is someone who looks a lot like him in the trailer, but then again he does have a twin brother, Demir Gjokaj…
And his Dollhouse co-star Felicia Day has teased secret cameos in The Avengers. »
Dollhouse's Enver Gjokaj joins Twitter, calls Gene Hackman best actor ever
16 April 2012 5:22 PM, PDT | Shadowlocked | See recent Shadowlocked news »
Just minutes ago, Dollhouse's Enver Gjokaj joined Twitter (@EnverGjokaj), amassing several hundred followers so far. The versatile and talented actor quickly gained a devoted fan following for his performance(s) on the show, and thus it's unsurprising that Twitter has greeted him with enthusiasm.
One fan expressed the sentiment, not uncommon among Dollhouse fans, that Enver Gjokaj is the "best actor ever", to which Enver replied "that would be Gene Hackman Imo".
Gene Hackman is a great actor, but can he play the nerdy, excitable Topher Brink as brilliantly as Enver Gjokaj did? And that wasn't even Enver's (main) character in Dollhouse...
But Enver needn't give up the possibility of surpassing his favourite actor Gene Hackman just yet. After all, “every day is a chance to be better…”
They used to say that you couldn’t turn on the TV without a Gene Hackman movie being on one of the channels. »

Joss Whedon on 'Buffy' remake: "If they do it I hope they do it well"
12 April 2012 1:43 AM, PDT | digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »
Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon has admitted that he "grumbles" about the thought of a film reboot going ahead without his involvement. Warner Bros announced in 2010 that it was planning to revive Buffy Summers on the big screen with Whit Anderson penning the script. The project has since stalled, with TV series cast members Nicholas Brendon and Anthony Head speaking out against the idea.

The Ghost Rider is back. Nicolas Cage (The Sorcerer’s Apprentice) donned his blazing skull (okay, not really, that’s visual effects) for Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance.
In the 2011 fantasy movie, Cage’s Johnny Blaze is hiding out in a remote part of Eastern Europe, until a secret sect of a church recruits him to save a young boy from the devil. At first reluctant to use the power of the Ghost Rider again, Johnny finally agrees in the hopes of also ridding himself of the curse.

You can't keep a good Tribute down for long.
Leven Rambin will trade the luxuries of District 1 for the hallowed halls of Mount Olympus as she joins the cast of "Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters," according to Variety.
Rambin, who can currently be seen in theaters as Glimmer in "The Hunger Games," will play the role of Clarisse, the daughter of Ares, the God of War. Besides being something of a perfectionist, Clarisse has also picked up a skill or two from dear old dad when it comes to fighting.
The "Hunger Games" loser (well, her and 21 others, to be fair) joins an ensemble that includes returning cast members Logan Lerman, Alexandra Daddario, Jake Abel and Booker T. Washington, as well as new cast members Nathan Fillion (Hermes) and Anthony Head (Chiron). The sequel deals with Percy's quest to brave the Sea of Monsters in search of the mythical Golden Fleece. »
