Theaters Give Chace on Halloween
While CW fans get to know him as lacrosse-playing teen-about-town Nate Archibald on Gossip Girl, Chace Crawford has also been busy screaming for his supper.
The Haunting of Molly Hartley, a supernatural thriller starring the 22-year-old heartthrob (who also made magic in the teen-witch chiller The Covenant), has been given a Halloween 2008 release date after indie distributor Freestyle Releasing acquired the U.S. rights to the film, the company announced Thursday.
Crawford plays Joseph, the nice guy who befriends new-girl-in-school Molly (Haley Bennett), who, for unknown reasons, is becoming increasingly freaked out by… something.
Crawford is one on a long list of current and former CW/WB/UPN stars, including Chad Michael Murrary, Jessica Biel, Sophia Bush, Barry Watson, Tom Welling, Kristen Bell, Brandy and Emily VanCamp, who have flashed their scary sides to beef up their big-screen credentials.
WWK Show: Brothers & Sisters Star Emily VanCamp Is Here!
Emily VanCamp is today's guest on the Watch with Kristin Show, and I'm still aflutter—it was so awesome of her to stop by. (She was Amy Abbott on the WB's Everwood!) Now starring on ABC's Brothers & Sisters as Rebecca, Emily spilled about the impact of last night's dramatic reveal about her character on the show and what we can all expect from the rest of season two.
Plus, is an Entourage guy leaving? And two Lost castmembers talk about the shape of things to come…Press play above to get the goods!
(Note of caution: See last night's Brothers & Sisters before watching this, or you'll be spoiled!)
Brothers & Sisters Bosses Dish on Walker Family Twist
Incest is best, put your brother to the test—if the following conditions apply:
- Your brother happens to be the ridiculous hotness of a man that is Justin Walker/Dave Annable
- He's not exactly necessarily your brother per se
- It makes for really good TV
This seems to be the line of thinking over on ABC's Brothers & Sisters these days, as the producers and writers are delving into what they call a "tightrope kind of story": A possible love connection between Justin and the girl he currently believes to be his illegitimate half-sister, Rebecca (Emily VanCamp).
It all sounds so very sudsy and sensational and, well, Springer-esque, does it not? (Especially given that David and Emily have been romantically linked in real life.)
Thankfully, though, I can allay your fears! I just had a nice, intimate chat with show runners Alison Schapker and Monica Breen, who oh-so-kindly (bless them!) called to correct me that Brothers & Sisters will have 24—not 27—episodes next season. (Still good news, right? And my sincere apologies for the error.)
Anyway, after talking to these lovely girls and also inside sources about what lies ahead for Justin and Rebecca, I feel confident in telling you this: B&S fans should not worry. It's gonna be good.
“People are so scared of Rebecca and Justin's storyline," Schapker admits. "Even we were at first, because it is a tightrope kind of story. But I have to say, I have 150 percent faith in the storyline after seeing how it’s being executed." Breen seconds that confidence: "We are so thrilled with the way that storyline is going to progress.“
Take note though that the writers have a few tricks up their sleeves. "I think it’s fine for people to start thinking 'OK, what does this mean?' because they don’t know how it’s going to unfold. They think they know, and it’s going to be better than they imagine.”
As for what else we can expect from the new episodes, Schapker explains that because of the strike, "It’s eight episodes condensed into four, so we just had so much to draw from for these last four. These four episodes sort of feel like three season finales leading up to one really big season finale…I have to say, we’re so proud of these episodes. We don’t feel like we suffered from the strike at all. They are 10 times better than we ever imagined.“
So set your DVR, yo! And post your Walker love and theories on how it will all go down with Rebecca and Justin below…
