HOLLYWOOD INSIDER: David Blue and Elyse Levesque Talk Up Stargate Universe!
Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to take part in a conference call Q&A session for Stargate Universe [Syfy, Friday, 9/8C]. The Q&A was supposed to be with David Blue and Brian J. Smith, but Smith was unable to make it, so the quick-thinking folks at Syfy rang up Elyse Levesque who jumped in […]
HOLLYWOOD INSIDER: Justin Schein the Director of the Festival Circuit hit, No Impact Man
Could you live a life that has absolutely no impact on the environment? I’m not talking about recycling the occasional plastic water bottle or rocking the Prius. No, I’m talking going all the way, only using your bicycle, walking up stairs at work, going without electricity, not using toilet paper or diapers, only eating vegetables […]
INTERVIEW: Crystal Chappell Talks Venice the Series
It was shortly after the cancellation of Guiding Light that actress Crystal Chappell decided it was time to creatively take matters into her own hands.

INTERVIEW: Guiding Light’s Jessica Leccia

Today kicks off the final week of Guiding Light. Not unlike many of you, my own family, crossing four generations, has watched GL longer than I have been alive. So as a final tribute I am linking to a couple of the interviews I was lucky enough to do this year from Guiding Light. Today […]
Studio Plant Scott Essman on the set of Monster Mutt
Our resident (or is it former now?) studio plant Scott Essman recently visited the set of the indie horror film Monster Mutt. This movie is notable because it’s being independently financed and will include make up and creature effects by Drac Studios – the folks who did the make up on Watchmen, The Curious Case […]
Breaking News: Warner Brothers Entertainment Inc. Creates DC Entertainment
Maybe it’s because DC Comics has shown sporadic, but not integrated success at developing its properties for film and television; maybe it’s because too many DC projects have been developed without benefit of a single universe, a la Marvel’s interlocked slate of upcoming films. Whatever the case, Warner Brothers Entertainment Inc. Barry Meyer, Chairman & […]
