Way Down In Chinatown Exclusive Casting Announcement

Nancy Wolfe (Susan Atkins/Sexy Sadie from Helter Skelter) joins the cast of Way Down In Chinatown

The Way Down in Chinatown production team – being independent filmmaker Eric Michael Kochmer, Angel Corbin, Maria Olsen and Jonathan Haloossim - are thrilled to welcome Nancy Wolfe of Helter Skelter fame to the cast.  Wolfe has bagged the supporting role of Lindie in Way Down in Chinatown, the utterly creepy and surprisingly intense noir horror feature that will soon be unleashed on horror fans.

Wolfe caused major waves in horror / serial killer movie circles with her eerily terrifying portrayal of Susan Atkins “Sexy Sadie” in the 1976 made-for-television movie Helter Skelter, which tells the story of the gruesome Los Angeles murders masterminded by Charles Manson.  Neither the Tate/Labianca murders nor Manson himself is ever out of public consciousness for long, nor should Wolfe’s portrayal of Atkins, »

17 April 2012 12:47 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »

Universal Pictures have announced that Brian Koppelman and David Levien will pen a screenplay for a big-screen version of the NBC series The Rockford Files. The project will be produced, as well as star, by Vince Vaughn, who will take over the great James Garner in the role of Jim Rockford, the loveable, no-nonsense private eye with a chip on his shoulder. The original show ran from 1974 to 1980 (as well as a few TV movies during the 90s) and it still beloved by fans and repeated regularly.

Only yesterday we reported Koppelman and Levien’s script for illegal gambling thriller Runner Runner had confirmed Justin Timberlake and Ben Affleck it’s leads. Vaughn, meanwhile will next be seen in all-star sci-fi comedy, Neighborhood Watch.

The Rockford Files was the brainchild of the late television mastermind Stephen J. Cannell, the man responsible for hit series The A-team, 21 Jump Street, Baretta and Wiseguy. »

Busting

1 February 2012 10:41 AM, PST | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »

Back in the early days of cable, movies were rerun endlessly so if you liked one, you could burn their frames onto your retinas and it became a part of yourself. As a result, I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for 1974’s Busting. You sit there, scratching your head, and can’t recall the film and there’s no shame in that.

Written and directed by Peter Hyams (The Star Chamber, Outland), it is a buddy cop film before that became in vogue and is very much from the era. It has a nice grainy film stock, makes the cops and the thugs slovenly and a visual shambles. While most of Hyams’ peers set their gritty tales of big city corruption and the only honest cops’ efforts to bring down the kingpin of crime in New York City, Hyams set his in Los Angeles, although you’d be hard-pressed to tell. »

Top Los Angeles Cop Retires

11 January 2012 2:01 PM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »

The Los Angeles cop who escorted Lindsay Lohan into court multiple times last year and once took O.J. Simpson to hospital during his murder trial has retired.

Sheriff's sergeant Steve Wheatcroft has served on the force for 24 years and handed over his badge on Friday, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Sgt. Wheatcroft also led the jury to music producer Phil Spector's Alhambra mansion during his 2009 murder trial and to the car park of Studio City, California restaurant Vitello's, where actor Robert Blake's wife was killed in 2001. The Baretta star was later acquitted of the crime. »
