Jaime King Talks HART OF DIXIE and Her Directing Debut LATCH KEY

by Christina Radish    Posted: September 22nd, 2011 at 2:45 pm

From executive producer Josh Schwartz (Gossip Girl, Chuck, The O.C.), the new CW drama series Hart of Dixie, premiering on September 26^th, follows New York City doctor Zoe Hart (Rachel Bilson) as she inherits a small local medical practice in Bluebell, Alabama and must learn to adjust to life in a small Southern town. But, Southern hospitality isn’t always so hospitable, as evidenced by the reaction of Brick Breeland (guest star Tim Matheson), the other doctor in town, and his normally sweet southern belle daughter Lemon (Jaime King), whose disposition turns sour upon meeting Zoe.

During an interview about her role on the new show, actress Jaime King talked about what made her decide to try television, how she enjoys the complexity of her character, and how she feels the big city and small town aspects of this show will help it appeal to everyone. She also talked about how she recently directed her first feature, Latch Key (which she also wrote), in her hometown of Omaha Nebraska. Check out what she had to say after the jump:

Lucasfilm Launches STAR WARS “Use the Force For Good” Cancer Benefit Video Featuring Emma Stone, Bill Hader, Seth Rogen, Zach Galifianakis and More

Star Wars: The Complete Saga hits Blu-ray tomorrow, which means the Lucasfilm marketing machine is in full swing. While many may be deriding the changes that The Almighty Tinkerer has made this time around, not everything Lucasfilm does is nerd-angering. The studio has launched an initiative to benefit the charity Stand Up to Cancer, and they’ve recruited some big names to help out. The Use the Force For Good intiative has kicked off with a video tribute featuring a number of celebrities reenacting scenes from the series. The clip is actually pretty funny, and includes Aziz Ansari, Zach Galifianakis, Bill Hader, Ed Helms, Ken Jeong, Jaime King, Seth Rogen, Andy Samberg, Emma Stone, and of course Samuel L. Jackson.

Hit the jump to watch the video. Unsurprisingly, Hader is the highlight, as his penchant for impressions leads to some fantastically goofy reenactments.

Something Like a Trailer for MOTHER’S DAY

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: January 17th, 2011 at 9:14 pm

Darren Lynn Bousman, best known as the director of Saw II, Saw III, and (you guessed it) Saw IV, is the man behind the remake of the 1980 horror film Mother’s Day.  Rebecca De Mornay stars as the mother who helps her three fugitive sons take care of a few unwanted houseguests.  Bill caught Mother’s Day at Fantastic Fest and thought the result was “a surprisingly fun mixed bag.”

Jaime King, Deborah Ann Woll, Briana Evigan, Alexa Vega, Shawn Ashmore, and  Matt O’Leary star alongside De Mornay in the April 1 release.  Bloody Disgusting found what they refer to as a “German sales promo,” but I wouldn’t judge if you’d like to call it a trailer.  We’ll post the official trailer if/when becomes available, but until then, this sales trailer provides plenty of insight into the look and plot of the film.  Watch it after the break.

MY GENERATION Series Premiere Review

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: September 22nd, 2010 at 10:40 pm

Following the rousing success of Modern Family’s debut last season, ABC originally slotted two new mockumentaries for this fall: Detroit 1-8-7 and My Generation.  Over the summer, 1-8-7 dropped the structure, which is not the one I would’ve picked if polled.

But for better or worse, the format is more integral to Generation, which catches up with a group of 28-year-olds ten years after they graduated from an Austin, Texas high school together in the year 2000.  An interesting premise, to be sure, and one I was looking forward to.  My review after the jump.

Jamie King to Star in Rom-Com JOURNIES About Journalists in the Online World

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: February 11th, 2010 at 12:25 pm

Death Ray Films is developing a romantic comedy that takes place in the world of online film journalists.  Called Journies, it’s being put together as a starring vehicle for Jamie King (Sin City) and it’s being written and directed by Grant Boucher.  Here’s the synopsis:

Journies is a romantic comedy about an aspiring online journalist who gets the scoop of a lifetime when a one-on-one interview turns into an unexpected date with Hollywood’s hottest young ingénue.

Producer Robert Sanchez says, “It’s Notting Hill with a touch of Entourage for the younger, hipper, Comic-Con crowd. Grant’s writing is amazing and his take on our story nailed it.”

Robert Sanchez, Kyle Newman (Fanboys) and Jaime King are producing.  Congrats to IESB’s Robert Sanchez for finally getting his movie about the world of online film journalists off the ground.  I expect he’s going to fill this thing up with plenty of cameos.  Needless to say, he’s going to get a lot of free coverage.

Updates on Frank Miller’s SIN CITY 2 and HARD BOILED

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: October 29th, 2009 at 1:56 pm

No matter how much excitement you may have for “Sin City 2″, I can’t imagined it was somewhat diminished by “The Spirit”, a film that had such potential had it only stuck to being bat-shit insane.  However, interest in a sequel to “Sin City” remains high and now the film may finally, after long last, go into production.  For news on that film plus Miller’s planned adaptation of his own comic, “Hard Boiled”, hit the jump.

Behind the Scenes Video from Director Darren Lynn Bousman’s MOTHER’S DAY

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: October 8th, 2009 at 6:35 pm

I’ve got to give credit to whoever cut this behind the scenes video from director Darren Lynn Bousman’s “Mother’s Day”, as they’ve done an awesome job. Usually production blogs are boring and safe. Not this one. As you’ll see, this one has swearing, talk of serious violence, and some great editing. Whoever cut this must have drank a lot of red bull as it’s one minute of awesome. Take a look. You’ll agree with me.
