Area Soldier Killed In Fort Hood Rampage
Stroger Makes Hollywood Play
Put Down Your Nanowrimo And Leave The House
Sox Shuffle Continues
Here's your chance to be in the remake/reboot of A Nightmare on Elm Street. It stars Oscar-nominated actor Jackie Earle Haley as the supernatural slasher and a slew of attractive, no-name teenagers as the slashees. It's currently being shot around town at various high suburban high schools and in Gary, Indiana. Producers are looking for "REAL POLICE, REAL FIREFIGHTERS, REAL PARAMEDICS, REAL COFFEE SHOP BARISTAS, REAL BOOKSTORE CLERKS and REAL PRESS TYPES." (In other words, you phonies can all stay home.) The parts also include "males and females, all ethnicities, 18-years-of-age and up, to work in non-speaking roles as ONLOOKERS and SHOPPERS."
Interested, and available to work between June 22 and July 1? Email your stats, ethnicity and which of the above types you are, and include pics of yourself (attachments only, no links). A costume fitting will be required, though whether you'll be asked to sport prosthetic wounds and copious amounts of fake blood is anyone's guess.
Speaking of, the teenaged Guess Brothers of Muncie, who we told you about awhile back, have successfully met their fundraising goal of $500 and are all set to start shooting their horror movie next month. Congrats! We're looking forward to The Unhuman.

Am I the only one troubled at the thought of some random new guy trying to be Freddy Krueger? I just don't see it working.
I don't know...Jackie Earl Haley is pretty creepy. Did you see him in Little Children?
Not that I'm a big fan of the movies, but I think he'll be great in the role.
I can't say I've ever seen Jackie Earl Haley in anything, and to be honest I was never a big fan of the Nightmare movies either. It's just that Robert Englund inhabited that role to such an extent I can't even begin to imagine someone else in it. It just seems like an '80s B movie version of having someone besides Clark Gable play Rhett Butler. (Anyone remember Timothy Dalton's take? Didn't think so.)
Who knows? Maybe he'll pull it off.
When you get a chance, rent Little Children. That was one of those movies that turned out to be waaaaaaay better and more intense than I thought it was going to be.
i'm more troubled at the decision for another one of these, seriously? i guess Saw 12 will be coming to DVD soon anyway.
Random new guy... sort of like Robert England was when he first played Freddy Kruget. Seriously, with all of the make up and the cornball dialogue (Kruger after impaling someone: "Why don't you stick around?" Groan), I don't think it makes much of a diffence.
The difference is that back when Robert Englund was the random new guy, he wasn't taking over the role from the guy who created it. Now, you'll get no argument from me that this is somehow great--or even remotely good--cinema, though I do think it has its place. And it just doesn't seem right to me to try bringing someone else into the mix.
Moocher from "Breaking Away"!
Awesome!
One of my top ten favorite movies.
Ingrid...me too.
Breaking Away IS the "coming of age" movie of all "coming of age" movies.
as bad as Semi-Pro was, his role as the drugged-out hippie fan was very entertaining.
They filmed around my neighborhood. There was tons of security. Anyone else know of sightings? The film sets were around 114th street and green Bay, and 112th street and Burley avenue (Former LTV Steel Site)
My pics aren't great, because I couldn't use a flash and it was a very high ISO. If anyone knows of other sightings send me an email kgvs72@gmail.com
