JAMES SPADER will be in this movie…

http://www.examiner.com/x-5590-Actin...-acting-talent

The director of Spy Kids brings us Shorts - not so tall tales. (to be released in the summer - August 7th)

Shorts is set in the suburb of Black Falls where all the houses look the same, and everyone works for Black Box Unlimited Worldwide Industries Incorporated, where Mr. Black’s Black Box is the ultimate communication and do-it-all gadget that’s sweeping the nation.

The Rainbow Rock is better as it grants wishes to anyone who holds it. But before long, wishes-gone-wrong have left the neighborhood swarming with tiny spaceships, crocodile armies and just general mayhem around every corner.
But it’s when the grown-ups get their hands on the Rock that the trouble really begins. Now the town has to be saved from itself, discovering along the way that what you wish for is not always what you want.

Harelik, Culp, Germann, Brokaw, Garcés, Manke Among Artists in Pacific Playwrights Fest

By Kenneth Jones
16 Apr 2009

Tony Amendola, Steven Culp, Greg Germann, Mark Harelik, Matt Letscher and Matt McGrath are among performers participating in South Coast Repertory's 12th annual Pacific Playwrights Festival (PPF), a weekend of readings of new works, May 1-3.

The fest was created in 1998. This year's PPF will feature five staged readings and two fully-produced world premieres on South Coast Repertory's Segerstrom and Julianne Argryos Stages. The world premiere full productions — Richard Greenberg's Our Mother's Brief Affair and Lauren Gunderson's Emilie-La Marquise Du Châtelet Defends Her Life at the Petit Théâtre at Cirey Tonight — are longer-run shows that are part of the current SCR season and purposely coincide with the PPF weekend.

The 2009 PPF playwrights getting readings are Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, Bill Cain, Julia Cho, Howard Korder and David Wiener. The reading directors were also announced. They are Bart DeLorenzo, Art Manke, David Warren, Mark Brokaw, Michael John Garcés.

Tickets to PPF may be purchased online at www.scr.org, by phone at (714) 708-5555 or in person at the SCR box office. South Coast Repertory is located at 655 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa, CA.

Here's the 2009 Pacific Playwrights Festival reading series at a glance:


... Bart DeLorenzo will direct Doctor Cerberus by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (May 1 at 3:30 PM) featuring Steven Culp [SGA's Miller's Crossing], Nike Doukas and Matt McGrath. "In the suburbs of Washington, DC, in the mid-1980s, 13-year-old Franklin Robertson is trying to survive. His parents don't understand him. His older brother torments him non-stop. He'd rather write stories than go on dates. His great comfort comes from the horror movies he watches every Saturday night at midnight, on a black-and-white TV set in his basement, introduced by the enigmatic Dr. Cerberus. In fact, Franklin feels certain that Dr. Cerberus can save his misfit life — if only Franklin could get on his show. A coming-of-age comedy with a twist of terror…"

... # Mark Brokaw will direct The Language Archive by Julia Cho (May 3 at 10:30 AM) featuring Tony Amendola, Matt Letscher and Maria Thayer. "George is a linguist, determined to record endangered languages before they die out. Mary is his wife, burdened by a sadness she can't explain. When their marriage starts to unravel, they find that speaking a common tongue is far trickier than one might think. A quirky comedy about love and miscommunication."

Actor William Devane takes a quick look back

Thursday, April 16, 2009

By TIMOTHY GUY
Special to the Press-Enteprise

In his more than 50 years of acting, William Devane has been to many places and done many things. Today he finds himself being honored in Riverside.

At the seventh annual Riverside Film Festival, Devane will be presented with the festival's Lifetime Achievement Award.

"It's nice to be recognized, but I am still thinking of what to say," he said. "Something like this forces you to look back on your career. And I usually don't look at yesterday: I look at the horizon."

Devane also stars in the opening night film "The Least Among You" which tackles the issue of race in the '60s after the Watts riots. Devane plays a seminary president who tries to work with a black student who is serving probation at the seminary.

"The story and the setting appealed to me," he said. "His (the character) heart's in the right place, but his decisions send him in another direction."


... Politics on TV

Audiences might also recognize Devane from all of the political characters he has played like on the television shows "The West Wing," "24" and "Stargate SG-1." He also played John Kennedy in the film "The Missiles of October." But, just because he plays politicians on screen, don't expect him to run for office anytime soon.

"It's much better to play one, I don't have the makeup to be a politician," he said.

Devane remembered something an acting teacher once told him, "Acting is having the mind of an infant and the hide of a rhinoceros." Something that could describe politicians too, he said.

On "Stargate" he played the president of the United States and really enjoyed the opportunity.

"I took the role because I thought the script was funny and thought I could parody the JFK role," he said.

... Devane is working on a pilot in Vancouver called "The Dealership" and is getting ready to start work on another "Jesse Stone" movie, the seventh in the series.

"The best is yet to come," he said.
