Friday,
September 7: America's Most Wanted
Our friend
Pauley
Perrette (who appears in our next film Satan
Hates You) is featured on the season premiere of "America's
Most Wanted" tomorrow night, Saturday, Sept. 8th, 9pm
on FOX. No, she's not a perp. She's working to do some good.
Have a look at Pauley's own words below:
"So,
it's time...
This Saturday, Sept. 8th, 9pm on FOX is the show following me
and AMW all around in an attempt to help solve the two horrible
murders of Raven
Jeffries in Detroit and Shannon
Paulk in Pratville, Alabama.
It
started when I put up reward money in these two cases, and has
ended up being a life changing venture.
They
have made this quest the season premiere for the 21st season
of Americas Most Wanted. It chronicles my trip with AMW from
Hollywood, to Detroit to Alabama and back, meeting with the
detectives in the cases, the families of the little girls and
going to the actual points of abduction and where their bodies
were found.
It
was an intense journey, heartbreaking, but very necessary in
the attempt to gather more information in these crimes and try
and give these families some peace.
I
can not thank everyone enough for their support in this matter.
Thank you for your prayers and getting the word out.
You
can read more about the cases at:
www.amw.com
Thank
you, thank you, thank you!
Pauley Perrette"
So check
out the show tomorrow night if you get a chance.
Me, I'm
still trying to get on "Cops".
Friday,
August 17: I CAN SEE YOU
GRAHAM REZNICK'S
I CAN
SEE YOU TEASER TRAILER ONLINE.
Glass
Eye Pix Produces the Most Unusual ScareFlick yet.
"Most mysterious" are the words that Fangoria's Don
Kaye used to describe Producer Larry Fessenden latest entry
in Glass Eye Pix's ScareFlix
series, I CAN SEE YOU, the feature film debut of writer/director
Graham Reznick.
Co-produced by ScareFlix veteran Peter Phok, the film stars
real-life members of Waverly Films, a production company specializing
in commercials and music video work. These three men, Ben Dickinson,
Duncan Skiles and Chris Ford, play characters working in that
same field as they partake in a company retreat for brainstorming
session for a new ad campaign for a popular household cleaning
product called ClarActix.
Things soon get confusing, disturbing, and down-right deadly
for the trio as they head into the deep woods and encounter
the free-spirited temptress Summer Day, portrayed by Heather
Robb (TRIGGER MAN, I SELL THE DEAD), who is destined to drive
them apart. Also lurking in the woods is the specter of long-lost
ClarActix pitchman Mickey Hauser, played by Producer Fessenden
whose directorial effort THE
LAST WINTER hits theaters this September.
"1960's psychedelia by way of David Lynch with dashes of
Philip K. Dick and Cronenberg" is how Fessenden describes
the strange new world that Reznick has created, "but there's
so much more going on as well. Graham is a true artist. Completely
uncompromising"
Reznick is probably best known for his sound design on previous
ScareFlix including THE ROOST, AUTOMATONS and TRIGGER MAN. He
now brings audiences his bizarre and haunting sensibility to
chill the eye as well as the ear with the psychedelic nightmare
called I CAN SEE YOU. Post-production on the film will be completed
by the fall.
A sneak peak into the dark and mysterious world of I CAN SEE
YOU is available via a new teaser trailer at icanseeyoumovie.com.

Thursday,
August 2: Back from Comic-Com
The Automatons
(2006) Comic-Con
screening went well considering that it was happening at the
same time as Marvel's
big blockbuster movie presentation as well as the Ray
Bradbury & Ray
Harryhausen event.
Some highlights
of the Con: Our friend Max
Brooks' on-stage interview with George
Romero. After the show, Max was swarmed Beatlemania-style
by adoring fans clutching copies of "The
Zombie Survival Guide" and "World
War Z". Somewhere in the chaos, Max introduced us to
super-writer J.
Michael Straczynski, who is penning the script for the World
War Z (2008) motion picture. Best of all, Max and William
Christensen from Avatar
Press (he's single!) went out of their way to make sure
that I got to meet George Romero. What a treat!
Also got
to hang out with Reggie
Bannister and his lovely wife Gigi.
Spent a little time with a bunch of other great folks including
MonsterPants
alums Rich
Kapenas, Kathryn
DiLego, Michael
Bosman, DW
Ferranti and his brother Mark.
It was nice
to see people I hadn't seen in a while or met in person, but
overall I was over-booked, the Con was ridiculously over-crowded
and we never really got a decent meal the entire time we were
there. Still, the trip was most definitely a success, people
seemed to really like our film and the Automatons trading cards
were a big hit.
Lisa and
I are still recovering..

"Best Shoestring Sci-Fi of 2006"
-- Jason Silverman, WIRED
"Automatons is what happens when Eraserhead and Tetsuo
the Iron Man bong themselves into oblivion and collaborate on
a minimalist avant-garde sci-fi cheapie shot in a toolshed...
Robot radness achieved! Budgets are for bitches. "
-- Nathan Lee, VILLAGE VOICE
"...the movie’s loving attention to light and
shade transcends its hermetic setting and meager budget. At
times the buzzing static and fizzy backlighting recall the glistening
surrealism of the filmmaker Guy Maddin... enormously endearing"
-- Jeannette Catsoulis, NEW YORK TIMES
"It's not a film of compromise but of sheer determination,
refusing to be defined by its budget and liberated by a decision
to overcome its bank account with sheer imagination."
-- S. James Snyder, NEW YORK SUN
"AUTOMATONS is a smart, thought-provoking tale equipped
with the moody ambiance and intellectual integrity of a classic
episode of THE OUTER LIMITS. That's high praise indeed."
-- Steven Puchalski, SHOCK CINEMA
"Ed Wood, the notorious director of Plan 9 From Outer
Space and Glen or Glenda, has risen from the dead and returned
to filmmaking as James Felix McKenney... And I mean that as
a compliment."
-- V.A. Musetto, NEW YORK POST
