- Ticketmaster.ca is listing that the pre-sale for Kevin’s Calary appearance will start on Tuesday. Keep in mind, however, that Kevin has said this is one of the appearances that may not pan out. No word yet confirming that date or any other elements of the Canadian tour. Once we know, you’ll know. Count on it.
- Kevin gets mentioned in an article in the May 30th issue of Sports Illustrated (Jason Giambi on the cover). The article will probably be pretty widely read and discussed, as its focus is on the online poker boom – specifically its widespread popularity on college campuses. The article is titled “Online and Obsessed” and Kevin’s name is mentioned, along with another director we all dig, on page 73, lower left-hand side.
- Looks like there’s a big fan in Maine, by the name of Brad Sullivan. Here’s his license plate…
- Two bites today on Joey Adams’ directorial debut, “Come Early Morning” today. First, from the IMDB:
|
Actress Ashley Judd narrowly avoided death after her luxury bus was destroyed by a fire, while she was shooting a movie scene on Monday. The Hollywood beauty spent hours in the vehicle resting, eating and rehearsing lines for independent movie Come Early Morning. But fortunately, she had left the bus to film a scene when it burst into flames, after a crew member left an unattended candle in the vehicle. Nobody was hurt, but damage to the bus – which was parked outside Los Angeles’ Hollywood Country Club – came to a staggering $500,000.
Yikes! On a better note, from the wire:
Adams has finished filming her directorial debut, “Come Early Morning” starring Ashley Judd, and began selling pieces of the movie’s set on Saturday in a North Little Rock hotel parking lot.
Film producers say the sale will let locals own a piece of movie history.
Mitchell Patterson, who was in charge of purchasing items for the set, said most came from second-hand stores and flea markets and a few were bought at Target.
Most of the items ? couches, coffee tables and cooking utensils ? are priced at 10 percent of the original cost for quick sale.
“We’d have to store it,” Patterson said. “So we’re selling it for real cheap.”
Shooting began in April on the independent release film by Adams, an Arkansas native who has appeared in films including “Chasing Amy” and “Big Daddy.”
“Come Early Morning” is about a small town woman who has never committed to a serious relationship. It is set to debut in January at the Sundance Film Festival.
No release date has been set for the film, but we’ll keep an eye for ya.
- Some more high praise for Lee’s sitcom from Kristen at E! Online. This program’s getting some of the best ink we’ve seen of ANY new program at all coming in the Fall:
- However, in other Askewer TV news, seems Shannen Doherty’s hope to head her own sitcom has been dashed:
Actress Shannen Doherty’s plans to return to TV in the upcoming sitcom Love, Inc have been dashed, after bosses dropped her as the star. The former Charmed star had signed up to play a dating consultant who was unlucky in love in the show, which is set to debut on TV network UPN in the autumn. UPN spokesman Paul Hewitt says, “Shannen is a terrific actress, but we’re going in a different creative direction with the show.”- And finally today, have we discovered hidden meaning in Kevin’s current film project? Joking, of course! Enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend, US’ers, or otherwise…Get to work! See ya next time.
