22 May 2012 10:53 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
With HBO putting Luck out of its misery earlier this year, that leaves one of the series' stars to travel to another cable network for a high profile role. Showtime has announced that Jason Gedrick, who can also be seen in films like Iron Eagle, Promised Land and Backdraft, has landed a multi-episode arc in the forthcoming seventh season of Dexter. Though we don't know the specifics of the story this season, Gedrick will play the manager of a Miami-area gentlemen's club that becomes linked to a high-profile murder case. This comes after Ray Stevenson has been cast in a role that will likely turn out to be some sort of adversary for Michael C. Hall as everyone's favorite serial killer. Hopefully this summer we'll find out more about what Dexter will be encountering this season after the conclusion of the sixth season really shook things up between Dexter and his sister Deb, »

Sweet Brown’s Apartment Fire Story Just Won Local News
10 April 2012 1:06 PM, PDT | BestWeekEver | See recent BestWeekEver news »
Here’s a news station from Oklahoma City interviewing Sweet Brown, a local resident who escaped an apartment fire, about her “horrifying” experience when she realized her home was on fire. It’s only thirty seconds long, but it is the most exhilarating 30 second account of anything I have ever heard. And that includes the time Abe Lincoln Micro-Machinesed his way through the Gettysburg Address. Can we spin this video into a Backdraft remake? And the movie is just William Baldwin doing a “Masterpiece Classic” intro then this clip repeats in real-time for 90 minutes? Take it away, Local News Winner Sweet Brown: Her autobiography, “Ain’t Got Time For Bronchitis” will be on the shelves next Tuesday (no relation to I Ain’t Got Time To Bleed) (via Dlisted) »

'Laverne & Shirley's' Cindy Williams: Ron Howard, Penny Marshall were destined to direct
28 March 2012 3:10 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
Cindy Williams didn't doubt two of her best-known co-stars would become well-known filmmakers.
The actress played Ron Howard's girlfriend in the 1973 movie classic "American Graffiti," then worked with him again on the ABC sitcom "Happy Days" ... which yielded the hugely successful spinoff "Laverne & Shirley," teaming Williams with Penny Marshall. Still good friends, the women will reunite when their enduringly popular show gets the Fan Favorite honor at the TV Land Awards, to be televised by the nostalgia-driven network Sunday, April 29.
"Ron kept jumping out of the car during 'American Graffiti' and talking to Haskell Wexler, the cinematographer," Williams recalls to Zap2it about making the George Lucas-directed ode to teen life circa 1962. "He'd get back in the car -- we had no dressing rooms, so we'd sit in the car between takes -- and I'd ask him, 'What are you doing?' And he'd say, 'I'm »

The top 25 cult film actors
26 January 2012 5:04 AM, PST | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
They may not be household names like their A-list colleagues, but the actors on this list have appeared in some of our all-time favourite geek movies...
Some actors dabble in sci-fi; others dip their toe into fantasy; some may even make an appearance in the odd horror film - all before returning to the safety of the genres in which they feel more comfortable - perhaps a nice, award-chasing period drama, or a well-paid romantic comedy.
A-listers may see the geeky films that we on this site enjoy and celebrate as fun little side-projects, but there are actors out there who commit full-time to these types of movies. It is high time, therefore, that we credited these individuals with the recognition they deserve.
Besides the stipulation that, in order to be included, an actor had to still be alive and working today, there were no strict criteria that had to »

Read on for word on the production as well as to see a new batch of production stills.
“I'm still here to do a press conference with the Danish media,” stated Butler from Copenhagen. She appears in the role of ‘Sarah’ opposite co-stars Estella Warren (2001’s Planet of the Apes) and William Baldwin (Backdraft). “Billy and Estella, along with Scandinavian actor Kim Bodnia, had some more scenes that they shot here, too, which were set in New York.
