Eugene Novikov at Cinematical.com has the first review of “The Way Back” from Telluride. It sounds as if just when I thought that “Triage” was a painful film to watch, “The Way Back” may be even more painful. The review begins with this: Peter Weir’s The Way Back enters the canon of survival films as [...]

With the addition of Kevin Spacey to the cast of “Horrible Bosses”, the film is really shaping up. According to IMDb, it is scheduled to begin filming July 6, 2010 in Los Angeles. That might be true, but if it is, then it means that Colin will have a very hectic summer since “Fright Night” is scheduled to begin shooting in Albuquerque, New Mexico on July 26th! “Horrible Bosses” has a tentative US release date of July 29, 2011 and “Fright Night” is tentatively scheduled to be in theaters October 11, 2011.
“Horrible Bosses”, directed by Seth Gordon, centers on three best friends who, frustrated by their jobs, come to the conclusion the only solution is to kill one another’s bosses.
The Playlist is reporting that “Triage” will be going straight to DVD. I guess this is good news for those of us who live in areas that never would have gotten it in theaters.

The Playlist has gleaned some new info concerning “Fright Night” from a Variety article on women in Hollywood. “Fright Night’s” writer, Marti Noxon, was interviewed for the article and gave us the following:
He’s (Colin’s character, Jerry Dandridge) a much more ‘Jaws’-like vampire in the Amblin tradition,” Noxon told Variety. The remake will also reportedly be set in Las Vegas with production set to begin as soon as later this summer. Still no word, however, on whether rumors of the film going meta, with the protagonist reaching out to an actor from the original film for help with his vampire problems, are true.
The New York Daily News has an interesting and lengthy article on Colin’s post rehab life and career.. and the events that led up to his transformation.
“It was a long time coming,” he said of his rough period, “but I had my arse handed to me on a plate.” Then, instead of disappearing into the wasteland of forgotten actors, he used offbeat projects to ease back into the spotlight.
I’ve edited this post to switch out the videos.. Thanks to Annusia for sharing this full version of Colin’s appearance on The Ellen Show.. with no ads. Enjoy!
