Janis
The Hero
Rolling
Stone interviewed Penelope
Spheeris, who is directing the upcoming Janis
Joplin biography film "The
Gospel According to Janis" and she said about Pink's
screen test for the role, "To see this girl
bring Janis to life was profound" It will
be Pink's acting debut, but Spheeris is confident. Producer Peter
Newman is quoted as saying, "She
can sing Janis with her heart and soul without it being pure mimicry. It's
something very raw and immediate". Spheeris
adds that Pink "knows Janis' music to the
degree that she hits every single note." Whne
confronted about the tendancy in this sort of film to deconstruct mythic
figures, Spheeris rebutted, "I'm making
a movie about a hero. She was a woman breaking the rules when women didn't.
She lived her life on a tight rope, but she was anything but a train-wreck".
Living
It Up Is Dead
King
World has canceled the syndicated talkfest Living
It Up! With Ali And Jack. The production will air through May 27, with
new episodes airing up to September 10. It was, for those who have watched
an episode, a merciful death.
Day
Of The Dead Has A Sequel!
The last
film in George Romero's
Trilogy of the Dead, doesn't seem to be the end of things. Fangoria
reports that a sequel to the 1985 film (The weakest of the three) titled
Day Of The Dead: Contagium, has wrapped shooting in Los Angeles. Directed
by Jim Dudelson, president of Taurus
Entertainment (the company that produced). Where this puts the remake
of Day of the Dead, no one is commenting.
Writer
Looks Forward To Kidstuff
Gregory
Smith of "Everwood"
has signed on with Director Josh
Stolberg for the independent film "Kids in America." Stolberg whose
script for "The Passion of the Ark" recently sold to Warner Brothers for
a princely sum, will make his directing bow with "Kids." Included in the
cast are Rosanna Arquette,
Samantha Mathis, Elizabeth
Perkins, Adam Arkin,
Nicole Richie and George
Wendt. The film is about a motley group of kids who band together to
oppose the corrupt school administration. Shooting starts on May 19 in
Los Angeles.
Jeffrey
Combs Goes Mad, Again, In Hammerhead
Re-Animator
star Jeffrey Combs, who
is so much more than this kind of role, will be looking crazy again,
this time for the latest Nu
Image feature for the Sci Fi Channel.
The story is that Combs` character disallowed from using human cells for
his stem-cell experiments, begins to use other species. The science is
way off the chart already, right? Then he injects samples from a shark
into a human. Does he get a man who swims well, doesn't need to sleep and
takes care of his mother? Nein! He gets a monstrosity that is half-human/half-shark
and (you're not going to believe this part!) goes on a rampage! ``Jeff has
been great, a real pro,'' Sci Fi Channel`s Ray Canella told Fangoria. ``Everyone
loves him, and we`re thrilled that he`s playing this part.'' The movie is
currently lensing in Bulgaria.

Felissa
Rose And The Gay Old Dead
"Sleepaway
Camp" star Felissa Rose
has decided to star in "Dead
Serious" and it will be shooting in New York City in May. Joe
Sullivan will direct. The story goes something like this:
A religious
zealot who leads a cult, and they take over a gay bar. They plan is to
erase the scourge of homosexuality from the Earth. They don't realize
that the "Natural Order" they plan to reclaim, is just what is being destroyed
by their actions. Then the undead seek vengence against them, and the most
unlikely band of heroes must band together and fight to survive the night
and save the city. Now if the dead will only move against some zealots
out here in the midwest.
But
Then, He's In Rehab
Nicholas
Brendon, who played Xander on TV's Buffy
the Vampire Slayer, told conventioneers in Cleveland that a Buffy movie
is still a possibility, according to a report on the Ain't
It Cool News Web site. (Of course the same site is reporting that Fox
is working on a "Catcher
In The Rye" film, and no one else will confirm it. Hope you're right
on both cases AICN!)

the
most culturally, historically or aesthetically significant
films
of our time"

physical
abnormality does Jason Alexander
