"Saw" Can't Cut It's Dead Zone Ties

Full Story


Artists Addiction Soundtracks/Song Stew Music formed in early 2004 . The principles have previously been involved with soundtracks for such projects as the WB hit series Charmed and USA's The Dead Zone. The label established a working relationship with Lion's Gate through the latter project and became enthralled with working on Saw after an initial preview screening. Platt concludes, 'We are excited about releasing Saw as our inaugural film soundtrack, as the movie and music are both very intense, disturbing and mind blowing.

Sarah Wynter Stars in Shooting Livien




Official Movie Site

Shooting Livien has a double Dead Zone link, both Sarah Wynter and Alley Sheedy appear in the new Indie Film.


Jason Behr (“The Grudge”), Dominic Monaghan (“Lost”), Joshua Leonard and Sarah Wynter star in writer/producer/director Rebecca Cook’s second feature film, “Shooting Livien.” While Cook’s directorial debut was the sweet romantic drama, “The Chester Story,” “Shooting Livien” is a much darker tale that follows a disillusioned New York musician (Behr) who’s balancing on the brink of success, and the brink of insanity.



And while the buzz surrounding “Shooting Livien” would make any up-and-coming filmmaker ecstatic, Cook would like to introduce the film to audiences via the film festival circuit first. Cook's hopeful Behr and Monaghan fans will get the opportunity to see "Shooting Livien" at select festivals in early 2005.

ABC's Desperation

Desperation, ABC's upcoming three-hour movie based on Stephen King's horror novel, began production in Bisbee, Ariz., on Halloween, according to The Hollywood Reporter. A Herculean effort by Desperation's executive producer Mark Sennet and director Mick Garris kept the $12 million film in the United States, with the help of Arizona Sen. John McCain and Gov. Janet Napolitano, as well as local businesses and Calif. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, the trade paper reported.

Cliff Robertson, Tom Skerritt, Annabeth Gish, Ron Perlman and Steven Weber lead the cast of Desperation, which chronicles the ordeals of a group of travelers thrown together in the nearly deserted spooky Nevada mining town of Desperation, complete with an enormous haunted mine pit and an abandoned movie theater, the trade paper reported.

Garris told the trade paper that the film will faithfully adapt the book. "I see it as a desert noir—or blanc, because it's bright and sun-drenched in the desert—as Norman Rockwell goes to hell," Garris said

Sarah Wynter In The News







HOLLYWOOD star Sarah Wynter is back to host next week's If awards a few months before her first Australian film, Three Dollars, opens.
"Someone said it's great I came home to support the Australian film industry. No I didn't, I did this for me," laughed the Australian-raised actor.

"I got very well paid and did a great movie, so it was a great opportunity for me.

"It wasn't some charity move on my part to come home; I don't know that anyone's so charitable they'd drop everything mid-career to do something that's not good for them."

Three Dollars, directed by The Bank's Robert Connolly and co-starring David Wenham and Frances O'Connor, is Wynter's local debut.


From News.com.au
smh.com.au

The If awards ceremony will take place at Sydney's Luna Park on November 11, broadcast live on SBS that evening with delayed telecasts on pay TV channel Showtime.
