There have been some big hitters on the site this week - 24, Lost, Heroes, Scream Queens…
He’s an actor we’d never have had down as a luvvie, but Robert Carlyle did go on a bit about his mate Kiefer when we interviewed him about his role in 24: Redemption. And he manages to introduce TV Spy’s first cuss word. Don’t show that to your granny.
It seems JJ Abrams is becoming the new Alfred Hitchcock when it comes to influencing other directors - check out Smallville going all Cloverfield for its big wedding episode…
And finally, it’s the highlight of everyone’s week - go on, admit it! It’s the Heroes vodcast with Ben and Gareth, and the boys seem to have found a new recording venue. All decorating suggestions welcome!
It’s been a couple of weeks since we updated you on VH1’s hunt for the next Saw star Scream Queens – and because VH1 insist on putting clips of the show on the UK-unfriendly Hula site we have to rely on our TV hero Joel McHale to brief us on The Soup. So here we go: this week Michelle goes all out to prove her, ahem, acting credentials, while Jessica takes her screen test to a rather offensive new level – “a place where no one else will take it”.
We told you last week about our new favourite show Scream Queens, VH1’s quest to find an actress dumb brave enough to appear in the sixth installment of the Saw movie franchise. In the first edition, the girls had to bathe with a snake - but that couldn’t have prepared them for the shock that awaited them when a room full of creepy dolls appeared in episode two.
We warn you, this clip is truly horrific…
Yep, we share Tanedra’s philosophy of running when the crowd runs. How could we disagree with someone who currently works at Hooters?
• After last week’s first tantalising glimpse of the trailer for the new series of Lost, Jack and co are back on our minds, and Ben started analysing the meaning behind the first six episode titles. He’ll be completing his PhD sometime in 2009…
• Jonathan stumbled across the heart-warming reunion of the original Wassssup? guys, brought together for a new viral in support of presidential candidate Barack Obama. (are we supposed to say something nice about McCain now in the name of balance and fairness???)
• 24’s coming back for a full season in the New Year and we’ve got the trailer to prove it! At least until Fox track it down and take it off youtube again… I think they’ve got CTU monitoring it all the time…
Below is a trailer for Scream Queens, a new US reality show in which a group of wannabe actresses compete for a role in a Hollywood blockbuster. Well, when we say Hollywood blockbuster, we mean Saw 6 (yes, there will be a sixth Saw!).
Anyhow, watched over by acting coach extraordinaire John Homa (look at all the talent he’s nurtured here) and Shawnee Smith (”Star of Saw, Saw 2 AND Saw 3″) the girls learn to do stunts, scream, get bludgeoned to death and kiss each other. It’s all brilliantly awful – and be sure to press play below to discover what happens when each girl gets the axe…
