W. Earl Brown Interview BLOODWORTH

by Christina Radish    Posted: May 21st, 2011 at 10:00 am

In the independent drama Bloodworth, E.F. Bloodworth (Kris Kristofferson) returns home to Tennessee to find the wife he walked out on (Frances Conroy) withered and faded, and his three sons – Warren (Val Kilmer), Boyd (Dwight Yoakam) and Brady (W. Earl Brown) – grown and soured by years of anger. Only Fleming (Reece Thompson), the old man’s grandson, treats him with the respect his age commands, and sees past all the hatred to realize the way it can poison a man’s soul.

At the film’s press day, actor/screenwriter/producer W. Earl Brown talked about the roller coaster of getting financing for the film, having Kris Kristofferson sign on for the lead role, getting to meet one of his heroes and having it live up to the expectation, and how cathartic it can be to play a character that was so angry. He also talked about what he learned on his time from Deadwood, working with David Milch, the role he plays in the upcoming HBO series Luck, and his next writing project, a thriller called Reverse Course. Check out what he had to say after the jump:

DEADWOOD: THE COMPLETE SERIES Blu-Ray Review

by Andre Dellamorte    Posted: January 31st, 2011 at 11:42 am

There’s a bitter pill to swallow in owning the Deadwood complete series on Blu-ray. One of the best shows ever to be on television, Deadwood ends unceremoniously. There is no sense of closure, there is no sense of a finished narrative – creator David Milch gets a twenty minute segment on the set to talk about the end of the show and expresses nothing but frustration about the show’s demise. He tries to intellectualize it, but struggles to come to grips with the euthanasia HBO performed. Alas, with an existing set and the cast of characters Deadwood had it was not a cheap show, and where The Wire was able to struggle against low ratings Deadwood fell because it never exceeded its modest but committed fanbase. But Deadwood is one of the best shows ever put to television, and I come here not to mourn its end, but celebrate its greatness. My review of Deadwood: The Complete Series on Blu-ray follows after the jump.

John Hawkes Will Be One of the Last Regular-Season Actors to Get LOST

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: August 20th, 2009 at 12:36 am

Want to feel wistful and a little sad?  Remember that there’s only one season left of “Lost”.  That should do the trick.  But there’s no time for sadness when we’re busy compiling our final theories on the show’s conclusion while others wonder how disappointed they’ll be by the finale*.  But as we race to the show’s end, pieces are still falling into place.  The latest piece of the puzzle is a new regular character played by the talented Mr. John Hawkes.

Hit the jump to learn a little about his character (you really thought you’d get a full run-down on him?  Have you never read a news item about “Lost”?).
