A bit more 'Lost' news found

19 November 2008 8:53 AM, PST | From TheWatcher | See recent The Watcher news

I posted an item yesterday about Patrick Fischler's upcoming guest role in Season 5 of "Lost." Here's some excellent news -- he won't just be in one Season 5 episode of the ABC drama, as a recent IGN.com story about the show indicated. He'll be in at least two episodes and possibly more, according to a "Lost" source. Fischler's character is named Phil. Fischler, who had a memorable guest turn as comic Jimmy Barrett on "Mad Men," is one of TV's hardest working character actors; he's been on everything from "Burn Notice" to "The Middleman" this year, in addition to...

18 November 2008 8:11 AM, PST | From TheWatcher | See recent The Watcher news

Interview: Bruce Campbell on "My Name is Bruce"

4 November 2008 7:21 AM, PST | From ifc.com | See recent IFC news

By Aaron Hillis

In his half-century on this crazy orb, Bruce Campbell -- beloved deadpan star of the "Evil Dead" trilogy, "Bubba Ho-Tep" and USA Network's current hit series "Burn Notice" -- has also been a director and a two-time New York Times best-selling author, but that's not how he's typically described. "I get all kinds of weird titles," says the man himself. "Cult fave. Horror icon. Genre legend. I get them all."

For his second directorial feature, a horror-comedy and love letter to his fans called "My Name is Bruce," Campbell sends up his own persona as a vulgar, womanizing, alcoholic, washed-up dunderhead of an actor named Bruce Campbell, naturally. Confused for one of the two-fisted characters he plays, Bruce is kidnapped by a teenage fanboy in hopes that he'll rid a small town of a resurrected Chinese warlord, with inevitably ludicrous results and multiple Ted Raimi cameos.

Review: My Name Is Bruce

27 October 2008 10:01 AM, PDT | From Fangoria.com | See recent Fangoria news

A director/star vehicle in which the director/star plays himself might be viewed as a vanity project—but anyone who knows Bruce Campbell is unlikely to expect that from My Name Is Bruce. Aimed squarely at the loyal fan base that loves the knowingly vainglorious attitude Campbell brings to both his genre roles and his convention appearances, the movie is a slight but frequently amusing self-deconstruction that, with a 90-minute wink, presents the least flattering portrait of the actor possible.

The Bruce onscreen is an alcoholic has-been who lives in a trailer, insults his co-workers on cheesy sci-fi flicks (other than those females he considers attractive enough to mack on) and doesn’t treat his fans any better. Played by anyone but Campbell, he’d probably be insufferable.

Instead, the actor creates a very funny alter ego and, as My Name’s director (working from a script by Mark Verheiden), brings a light,

USA Dons a 'White Collar'

22 October 2008 12:30 AM, PDT | From buddytv.com | See recent BuddyTV news

The USA Network has sent a green light to yet another series, this time titled White Collar as it lifts cast contingency for the show.  The series, which stars Matthew Bomer of Chuck and Tru Calling and Tim DeKay of Tell Me You Love Me and Carnivale, will also feature director Bronwen Hughes of Burn Notice, Breaking Bad and Forces of Nature.  White Collar is created by Jeff Eastin, who also serves as executive producer for the upcoming Fox Television Studios endeavor.

"USA is ramping up its production slate by adding a third pilot to its roster with White Collar," Jackie de Crinis, USA's executive vice president, original programming said in an official statement.  "The unique dynamic of Matthew Bomer and Tim DeKay adds two memorable characters to the roster that defines the USA brand."

Texas-born Matthew Bomer, 31, began his career on television with soap operas All My Children and Guiding Light.

Cinematical Seven: The Best of Bruce Campbell

21 October 2008 8:02 PM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news

Okay. Deep breath. Today I am just going to go all-out fangirl, unabashedly, unashamedly. Next week you can ask me to discuss the Bechdel rule or the future of the term "mumblecore." But on Sunday, My Name is Bruce comes to Austin as part of a tour around the country, with its filmmaker-star Bruce Campbell in attendance, and my goofy inner fan is taking the upper hand over the professional film critic.

I realize that My Name is Bruce is unlikely to be one of the great films of the century, or even as fun as Army of Darkness. I'm fine with that. Look, I paid to see Man with the Screaming Brain in a theater (also with Campbell in attendance). I don't care. All of you who would go see anything touched by Joss Whedon, even if he remade an Oscar-Meyer Wiener commercial, can have your sweet revenge on me now.

'Stargate: Atlantis' Gets Boost: From Web Pirates

27 August 2008 2:42 AM, PDT | From syfyportal.com | See recent syfyportal news

In the week following the announcement that MGM and SciFi Channel were pulling the plug on "Stargate: Atlantis," those who choose to illegally download television programs thought it would give it a nod. TorrentFreak is reporting that "Atlantis" was the most pirated television show for the week of of Aug. 17-24, unseating the Olympics opening ceremony and "Weeds" as the most popular show downloaded by BitTorrent users. It previously filled the No. 6 position, which was taken over by USA Network's "Burn Notice" instead. The site didn't report the number of downloads, but said larger network shows like "Lost" and "Heroes" can get up to 10 million downloads in a single week when they are showing new episodes.

Campbell Talks Evil Dead 4

15 August 2008 2:20 AM, PDT | From MovieBlog.Ugo.com | See recent Ugo MovieBlog news

Director Sam Raimi shocked this year’s Comic-Con with news of a new Evil Dead film.  Not a remake.  A brand spankin’ new Evil Dead starring the Ash we love.  But when, we have all asked?  But when??!!  “When he’s ready, I’m ready,” star Bruce Campbell told MTV. According to the site, while nothing remains written or planned, Campbell and Raimi have actually discussed the long-anticipated movie at length, Campbell revealed to MTV, saying that they already have a basic idea of where to take Ash, the poor S-Mart clerk who’s already narrowly survived three adventures - the last of which, “Army of Darkness,” got released in 1992. “Sam gets to hide behind the camera. I can’t. But I think he’s planning on factoring that in,” Campbell revealed. “As like a major factor. It’d be a major liability, you know Ash runs out of breath

Campbell Talks Evil Dead 4!

15 August 2008 12:48 AM, PDT | From DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news

Oh, what the hell, we haven’t done an Evil Dead 4 story in a while, have we? Luckily The Chin got to jawing with MTV’s Movie Blog recently on that very subject, which gives us something to talk about.

First of all no, it’s not definite. Nothing is planned, written, or even schemed. But Raimi did say recently that he’d like to bring the franchise back to life again, so of course the rumor mill got spinning anew. For his part, Bruce Campbell is more than willing to get back into the ripped shirt and chainsaw hand, despite the fact the he’s not getting any younger.

"Sam gets to hide behind the camera. I can’t.” Campbell told the blog, ”But I think he’s planning on factoring that in as like a major factor. It’d be a major liability, you know Ash runs out

Michael Shanks Finds Life After 'Stargate Sg-1'

12 August 2008 11:39 PM, PDT | From syfyportal.com | See recent syfyportal news

Sometimes it's hard to shake a popular character and avoid the typecast label, and some actors who have portrayed iconic roles have gone to great lengths to do just that. Michael Shanks may be forever known as Daniel Jackson to "Stargate Sg-1" fans everywhere, but an actor has to eat and take on new challenges. Shanks, who did a three-part story in Fox's "24" last year, is now making a move over to "Burn Notice" on the USA network where he takes on a recurring role of a blacklisted spy named Victor. The episode, which airs Aug. 14 at 10 p.m., features Shanks as a reckless man who doesn't seem to care too much how many innocent people he victimizes. Shanks will have a chance to work with another popular science-fiction icon, Tricia Helfer of "Battlestar Galactica." who plays Carla, ...

'Two' For The Money

4 August 2008 11:32 PM, PDT | From NYPost.com | See recent New York Post news

Gone are those heady days of TV stars like Jerry Seinfeld, Tim Allen and NBC's "Friends" earning $1 million per episode.

But, let's face it - it's not exactly hard times out there in series-land, either.

Take "Two and a Half Men" star Charlie Sheen, who tops TV Guide's annual list of the tube's top-paid stars - and he's only raking in $825,000 per episode (or $18 million for a 22-episode season, including his ownership stake in the hit sitcom).

Sheen is followed on the list by soon-to-leave "CSI

Comic-Con ‘08: Stargate Continuum Panel

26 July 2008 4:16 PM, PDT | From ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news

This panel was a follow up to the premiere of Stargate Continuum the night before.

As the Stargate Sg-1 cast came in and were introduced, everyone applauded wildly - but by far the big fan favorite (judging by how deaf I went from the cheers) was Christopher Judge, hands down, for this Stargate Continuum forum.

Amanda Tapping talked briefly about her new web-to-tv show, Sanctuary, which has filmed eight of its scheduled thirteen episodes so far.

As for Ben Browder, he’s enjoying some quiet time between acting gigs and volunteering his time coaching pole vaulting at a local high school.

 

Christopher Judge is working on a project called Rage of Angels with Michael Shanks and a substantial announcement about the project is coming out in the next few weeks.  He also had been hired to play the bad guy in Fox’s 24, but things didn’t seem to work out in that regard.

The extras on USA Network's "Burn Notice" say they're getting sunburned in Miami, where the show, starring Jeffrey Donovan and Gabrielle Anwar as covert agents, is mostly filmed. During pool scenes shot at the Gansevoort on Collins Avenue the other day, extras were complaining "that the people in charge treat them like slaves," said our spy. "They roast in the sun all day and are given just 20-minute lunch breaks." A rep from Fox Television, which produces the show, said, "We go out of
