Exclusive: Beau Bridges (Dreamin’ Wild), Jessica Parker Kennedy (The Flash), Bruce Davison (1923) and Miguel Gabriel (Puss in Boots: The Last Wish) will topline Camera, an indie drama from award-winning filmmaker Jay Silverman (Saving Paradise), which has wrapped production.
Pic tells the story of Oscar (Gabriel), a nine-year-old boy who is unable to speak, watching as he struggles to adapt to the small fishing town where he has just moved with his widowed, hard-working mother Evelyn (Kennedy). Brought together by a broken film format camera, an unlikely friendship is formed between Oscar and a kind repair shop owner, Eric (Bridges).
With the local fishing industry in decline, the townspeople where Oscar and Evelyn now live become fiercely divided as to whether or not to stake their futures on building a luxury hotel – which will surely bring in new jobs — or fight to keep things the way they have been there for generations.

Play Dead is a horror movire directed by Patrick Lussier starring Bailee Madison and Jerry O’Connell.
The morgue is a very appetizing place in which to film a horror movie, this is very obvious. Besides, these locations are cheap, it is not necessary to reconstruct a ship nor pay millions to the actors. Several things are needed: actors that know how to act and do their best to stand out, a decent screenplay, committed production and, above all, a director that knows what he is doing.
Mr. Patrick Lussier, director of this film knows what he is doing.
Storyline
Chloe, a criminology student, fakes her own death to sneak into the morgue and obtain some incriminating proof against her brother, but soon she discovers that the morgue is not the “party” she was expecting.

The Secret Life of the American Teenager may have been a resouding success for ABC Family, but it also helped Shailene Woodley land some big roles in the aftermath.
The actress has looked back on her time on the series, and has admitted that she felt "stuck" as a cast member.
Created by 7th Heaven's Brenda Hamilton, the series centered on Woodley's Amy Juergens, a teenager who had to come to terms with an unexpected pregnancy.
The series delved deep into how the pregnancy changed not only Amy's life, but the lives of those around her.
In an interview with Bustle, Woodley has opened up about her time on the series, noting that she did not agree with the messages of the show.
“There were a lot of things that were written into the scripts that not just me, but a lot of the cast, disagreed with,” the Big Little Lies actress said.

There’s not a lot of information out there on this one so excuse me for the brevity, it almost got passed us to begin with (as this is a few days old), but I know how everyone wants to know all things Samcro. With that in mind, Tara Summers has landed a role in Sons of Anarchy season 5, and according to Deadline, a recurring one. Not a lot of details beyond that the english actress will portray Karen Dunhill, who we will see working with Maggie Siff’s Tara.
If Summers looks familiar you probably caught her on Boston Legal as Katie Loyd or (as pictured above) with my girl Buffy on Ringer. She will has also be in the new David E. Kelley pilot, the TNT medical drama Monday Mornings. She’s just the latest in a mob of new characters we know are coming to Charming, following the already announced Ashley Tisdale,...

Sons of Anarchy season 5 is rolling our way and just around the corner, so it’s time for introductions to some of the new cast of characters headed to Charming and the Samcro mix. You probably already know about Ashley Tisdale (who has been featured in several images so far), Jimmy Smits, and Damon Pope (Lost’s Harold Perrineau coming into town like a boss), but you might not know some featured in this video sent to us by FX, the latest of their “Before the Anarchy” featurettes.
Gogo (Chris Browning), Frankie Diamonds (Chuck Zito), and Greg the Peg, Fiasco (Rey Gallegos) and Lupe (Jorge Pallo) – yes, that’s Lupe Fiasco to you if you see the two running up on you – introduce themselves in what looks to be a video presented by another new member of the Samcro crew, Kurt Yaeger – aka Greg the Peg.
