Gutentag!

Posted on: April 14th, 2010 by wmapother 2 Comments

Word has reached me from across the great sea that on April 22, ‘The Burrowers‘ will be released on DVD in Germany, Switzerland and Austria.

In case you’re reading this in Germany, please drop everything immediately.  Put your life on hold and go demand to your local video store that they offer multiple copies of ‘The Burrowers.’  They won’t know of what to which you refer, of course, so repeat yourself, calmly, and for “Burrowers” just substitute “Das Böse unter der Erde.”

They’ll nod and agree and make the order into the computer, and then you can go enjoy a streudel and beer together.

Horror-westerns.  Bringing the world together.

The Vamping Vamp

Posted on: March 24th, 2010 by wmapother 2 Comments

Even a bloodsucker needs a little love.  Here’s a pic from the ep I shot last week of the web series “I heart vampires.”  My right fang is just half-visible behind the mirror.  The make-up artist slathered the fang glue, then asked me to hold it in place for about five minutes (While I slurringly asked her about eight times if she was sure it would come off.  It did, thank god.)
It’s called “Nick: Into the Darkness,” ep 4, and I’ve been told it should be up in the couple weeks.

Me as Me

Humans of the world, doubt the future of web TV no longer:  I just shot my first ep of a web series.  It’s called I <3 Vampires (‘I heart vampires, for those of you over the age of 12), and its home page is here.

My character, with the most exceptional name of William,  is the leader of a vampire clan and has been around on the earth a heckuva lot longer than I have.  His primary purpose:  Get the newly vamped Nick to act as a spokeperson for the woefully misunderstood and poorly-p.r.’d vampire contingent.

The ep should be posted in the next couple weeks, and hopefully I’ll have stills from the shoot, white make-up and all.

AOL TV

A new video interview with me about Lost and All Things Ethan has been posted on AOL TV here.  I was grilled by the very funny Maggie Furlong, a Lost fanatic if I’ve ever seen one.  Which I have.  Believe me.  Not, of course, that there’s anything wrong with that.

Sometimes, no news is just, well, no news

In response to literally thousands, perhaps millions, of letters and emails that have nearly shut down southern California servers and post offices, I’m here to save the day with updates on a couple projects.

A Warrior’s Heart‘ when last I checked was nearing the final stages of post-production.  How and when you’ll be able to see it is still uncertain.  It may receive theatrical distribution, or it may go right to video/cable.  As soon as I hear something, I’ll send word immediately.

Another Earth‘ is definitely still in post-production.  (These things take time, people!)  It will almost surely first go to film festivals, in order to attain the momentum necessary to fill theatres both near you and across the globe, thereby vaunting it into a box office bonanza far, far beyond anything that weakling ‘Avatar’ ever dreamed of.  Or something like that.
