Chapter1-Take1

Congrats! You've just reached one of my most widely visited posts. I get it, lots of us want to hear what actors think about acting straight from their own lips. I've got a hunch if you find this post from 2013 interesting, you'll also find this year's more current video noteworthy too so I'm including it below. Cheers!
Last Sunday I shared The Hollywood Reporter's Writers Roundtable, a lively discussion centered around the process and challenge of scripting stories for film, be it an original idea or adapting from another source. It was an interesting bunch of writers responsible for some of this years most talked about films including George Clooney and partner Grant Heslov (Monuments Men), Julie Delpey (Before Midnight), Nicole Holofcener (Enough Said), John Ridley (12 Years a Slave) and Danny Strong (Lee Daniel's The Butler).
This week I want to share THR's Actors panel. Watch as Stephen Galloway, THR's longtime moderator, facilit…

Sharp Objects starring Amy Adams: On location at the Crellin Estate

The Sharp Objects Home: Gothic and Gorgeous
Earlier this week, we looked at Barnesville, GA, which stands in for Wind Gap, Missouri in Sharp Objects, starring Amy Adams.

New poster and TV spot for The Woman in Black starring Daniel Radcliffe

This is the newest poster for The Woman in Black, the film based on the Susan Hill book. It's a big improvement over the last poster featuring the two creepy kids, right? And while I am not a huge Daniel Radcliffe fan (I'm not a hater, just don't care one way or the other) there are millions of people out there who are. Kind of foolish of the filmmakers NOT to promote Daniel's presence in the film! It comes out February 3. Maybe the strategy was to tease us with the scratched out eyes image plus the come on line "What did they see?" and bring it on home with the Fear Her Curse tagline?
Here's how Fandango describes the movie:
Arthur Kipps (Daniel Radcliffe), recently widowed and still grieving the loss of his wife, is sent to a remote village to put a deceased eccentric's affairs in order. But soon after his arrival, it becomes clear that the villagers are hiding a deadly secret. Kipps discovers that his late client's house is haunted by the spirit…
