Two Pces o’ News

Drew Peterson: Untouchable, on Lifetime this past Saturday, was the  most-watched cable movie for the past two years.  There were 5.8 million people who were kept off the street and prevented from thieving and pillaging.  Score one for Lifetime!

But some dare question the film’s accuracy.  We are shocked.  Shocked!

On a totally separate note:  Pandodaily, a site with all sorts of tech news, picked up Slated’s announcement at the launch party at Sundance.  (See my Slated FAQ on this site for more info about Slated).

‘Untouchable’ (shiver)

Posted on: January 17th, 2012 by wmapother No Comments

This Sat night at 8pm/7pm Central, Lifetime is airing Drew Peterson: Untouchable,
the movie about Drew Peterson, the Illinois police officer whose wives keep dying on him.  Just bad luck?  Hmmm..

Kaley Cuoco (Big Bang Theory) joins in the fun. Rob Lowe looks frighteningly accurate in the role.  I play Drew’s stepbrother, Glenn, not the most accomplished of accomplices..

Here are a couple fun pics from the wedding scene.  First pic:  Go ahead, have a look at it.  

It’s a pretty film set for a wedding, right?  Except notice the stones in the grass in the foreground?  Yeah, we shot the wedding scene in a cemetery.  Perfect for the story line.

 

 

 

Second pic:  This sort of odd arrangement — baby and flowers along with plastic covering, lying on the grass next to a trash can — is the norm for a film set.  The crew (the props dept., in this case) is too busy fighting the dwindling daylight and the addle-brained actors to worry about niceties like protecting the fake babies from trash can odors..
