After working with her on THIRTEEN and THE LORDS OF DOGTOWN, it’s no surprise that director CATHERINE HARDWICKE was able to find actress NIKKI REED a role in the much anticipated big screen adaptation of the best-selling TWILIGHT (also starring KRISTEN STEWART and ROBERT PATTINSON).

So much internet buzz and speculation regarding the upcoming Fox series, DOLLHOUSE, created by JOSS WHEADON (BUFFY, THE VAMPIRE SLAYER) reminds us that we spoke with him at an informal session of last summers TCA. When asked what prompted him to create another series dealing with the ‘unknown’, he used his answer to introduce his star, ELIZA DUSHKU:
”She will be coming out in a minute. I think some people know that it actually literally came from Eliza. I was sitting, talking to her about her opportunities, and her range, and all of the things she can be, and the ways in which she could get constricted, and the ways in which she could be free, and literally the show came from that. So…wearing a brand new outfit, ladies and gentlemen may I present, my actual physical muse, Eliza Dushku.”
Now, we’re told there have been a lot of changes since the original script but here’s what the original promo looked like (maybe it’ll stay like this)
On this day in 1968, the abysmall cult movie HEAD was realeased to mostly no acclaim at all.
Starring THE MONKEES, this was alast ditch attempt for the TV popsters to gain some credibility after the demise of their television series. Strangely enough, the passage of time (and the involvment of screenwriter JACK NICHOLSON) has made HEAD a cult fave and people now talk about it fondly.
