Theatre Bulletins 8/29/06
My bulletins are so helpful and cool that I just have to make sure they get read. JK. In case you missed them, though, here they are in a little blog.
| Subject | Name a Horror Movie - no, really (not a survey or forward) |
This is kind of cool...one of my MySpace friends, Eric, is getting his horror movie distributed and needs help choosing a new title.
Contact him at http://www.myspace.com/eric_the_writer
Here's his bulletin:
___________________________________________________
I would like your opinion on what I should name my new Ghoul/Hospital/Mad Scientist/Infection film. It was originally called "Leben Tod", then sent to the festivals as "Night of the Leben Tod". But now, on the eve of getting the thing distributed the powers that be want it changed, and likely for good reason.
Some of the following names have been given to me by possible distribution agents
"Night of the Living Dead: Leben Tod" (this one is a front runner's favorite, and my least favorite)
"Hospital Massacre: Night of the Leben Tod" (this came from another company that knows their stuff)
"Dawn of the Living Dead: Hospital Massacre" (this is my idea of a compromise)
"Death Walkers: Night of the Leben Tod"
"The Dead that Live: der Leben Tod"
"Life Death"
"The Living Dead: der Leben Tod"
any opinions would be welcome. it is a good film and I want it to stand on it's own but I admit that my original title of Leben Tod (both German words, "Leben" meaning life and "Tod" meaning death) is a little too off beat. but I am sickened by the thought of naming it the same as George Romero's classic pic.
Any suggestions?
thanx

| Subject | Casting Notice - Los Angeles |
Reposted from a bulletin from http://www.myspace.com/socalfilmgroup
We're looking for the lead in an on-going series titled, "BlondeStar". We hope to cast a classic ditzy blonde with a squeaky-cute voice in her early to mid-twenties. Think Marilyn Monroe, Joan Blondell, Jean Harlow, Judy Holliday.... um, somebody from today? How about Jessica Simpson or Paris Hilton?
We're going to do a series of BlondeStar comedy shorts that will be broadcast over the Internet, so this will be a recurring role.

| Subject | Make Your Reservations Now for "Picnic" at BCT |
Bakersfield Community Theatre Kicks off its 80th
Season with "Picnic" by William Inge - a Pulitzer
Prize winning play with an incredible heart.
Opening night for "Picnic" is also the Kick-off
Event for BCT's 80th Season - what this means is if you
want to come on opening night, you need to
make reservations by Monday, September 4
because there will also be a catered dinner to
celebrate the season. Tickets for the event
are $20 (Dinner and Show) or the dinner
is free for season ticket holders.
Synopsis:
What starts as neighborhood picnic to celebrate
the end of another run-of-the-mill Summer turns
into a life-changing twenty-four hours for a group
of women in a small, mid-western town.
Madge Owens (Kelci Lowry),the town beauty queen,
catches the attention of drifter Hal Carter (Sam Hall),
who comes into town to meet up with his friend from
college Alan (Travis Glenn) who is coincidentally
also Madge's boyfriend. Madge's mother,
Flo (Jill Kelbert) has one main concern - to
see that Madge finds happiness with Alan
and not relive her mistakes while younger
daughter Millie, (Jodi Lowry) finds solace in books,
art, poetry and her beloved neighbor, Mrs.
Potts (Morning Miller) even when accosted by
neighborhood delivery boy, Bomber (Hector Rubio.)
Spinster school teacher, Rosemary sydney (Julie
Jordan Scott) is admired by her teacher peers,
Irma Kronkite (Meg Swift) and Christine Shoenwalder,
(Fred Barnett) but continues to focus on what
she is missing in her relationship with local
small businessman, Howard Bevans, (Mark Tarango).
"Picnic" was the Winner of the 1953 Pulitzer Prize
for Drama, the Outer Circle Award, the New York
Drama Critics Award, and a Donaldson Award.
The story takes place in 1950s small-town Kansas,
but this is not a simple celebration of heartland values.
From Bookraqs.com: "While embraced by mass
audiences for its superficial charms, critics
lauded Inge's play for its much darker themes.
Picnic has come to be regarded as a pioneering
drama for its frank depiction of sexuality
and its subliminally cynical take on the
love conquers all hypothesis."
This play is a must see for Mothers-Daughters-Sisters-
Single Women- and all those who love them.
Don't miss it - make your reservations now.
