DVD Release - TERRI - October 11th


John C. Reilly and Jacob Wysocki Allow Their Inner Selves To Shine in the Touching Indie Hit Emerging onto Blu-ray and DVD October 11th


From the producers of Blue Valentine and Half Nelson comes the extraordinary original and loveable comedy TERRI, arriving on Blu-ray and DVD October 11th from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.  An official selection at Sundance Film Festival and SXSW Film Festival, the critically-acclaimed cast includes Academy Award®-nominee John C. Reilly (Chicago, Cyrus), Creed Bratton (“The Office”) and newcomer Jacob Wysocki (“Huge”) in a bittersweet coming-of-age story that will leave you cheering.

An overweight social misfit, Terri Thompson (Wysocki), is the lone caretaker and guardian for his elderly Uncle James (Bratton).  While struggling to find acceptance in school, Terri finds refuge in the company of his shy but pretty classmate Heather (Olivia Crocicchia, “Rescue Me”). In an effort to bring Terri out of his awkward pajama-wearing shell, his off-beat high school principal, Mr. Fitzgerland (Reilly) takes Terri under his wing to distract himself from his own painful divorce.  What emerges is a lesson on growing pains for both of them, and learning to find a reason to spread their wings and fly.

The TERRI Blu-ray and DVD include outrageous special features including A Look Inside Terri and Deleted Scenes. Available in the U.S. only.

TERRI Special Features:

Elizabeth Halsey (Diaz) is ruthless, wildly inappropriate and says exactly what's on her mind.  She may be working as a teacher, but her real occupation is to find a rich man to support her and get her out of the middle school for good.  When she’s dumped by her fiancĂ©, she sets her plan in motion to win over a rich, handsome substitute (Timberlake) – competing for his affections with an overly energetic colleague, Amy (Punch), while disregarding the advances of the school's irreverent gym teacher (Segel).  Elizabeth’s schemes and their wild consequences prove that she truly doesn't give an "F."

BAD TEACHER was directed by Jake Kasdan (Walk Hard, “Californication”) and written by Gene Stupnitsky & Lee Eisenberg (upcoming Ghostbusters 3, “The Office”). It was produced by Jimmy Miller (The Other Guys, Step Brothers) and David Householter (The Other Guys, Step Brothers).

CKR/Chasing Kid Rock by Dawn Scoville

I have never met Dawn. I have never read her book CKR but I wanted to tell you about it because I know a lot of my readers love their books. They also love good people with big hearts who go out of their way to be kind to others and do what they can to help. During Hurricane Irene, a personal friend of mine Stacey and her family were displaced along with 3 other families when their home was condemned. With damaged belongs and her two boys in tow, single Mom Stacey, turned to her community through Facebook and through a forum of Kid Rock Mega fans she belongs to. Stacey's community is working to throw a benefit and local Facebook pages have been posting how to donate to Stacey and her boys as they search for a place to stay and she replaces things she has lost. Dawn, has also moved forward and started a fund for Stacey and her boys (you can see it here). Dawn, if you ever read this, thank you for all you have done. Thanks for thinking of others and putting their needs above yours. This is truly a wonderful trait that is getting harder and harder to find in people. I am sure you didn't do this for fanfare but a little publicity never hurt anybody. My readers love to read and love hearing about new books. Plus, like you, they are wonderful people. I receive Christmas cards, care packages, photos and emails from them often. They will love hearing about your good deed and might even have a new book to add to their must read list! So, dear readers, here is what I found out about Dawn's book.
Product Description After his wife kicks him out of the house, 40-year-old Ted Seever doesn't think going to the Daytona 500 with his two, philandering best friends is a good idea. When the girl of his dreams turns up on the trip, his situation grows all the more desperate. From the city streets and back roads of Palm Beach County to Orlando and Daytona and back, Ted struggles to save his marriage and make sense of his predicament, all the while wishing he could be more like his rock idol, living the life he's always wanted. If only he could convince his wife to go for it...

About the Author Dawn Scovill is a free spirit and free thinker who lives with her husband and two children in Jupiter, Florida. Her blog, DAWN'S ALTER EGO, has been "amusing the sh*t out of readers since 2006." She authored the SexEd column for South Florida's CLOSER magazine and released her first novel, IMMORTAL BONDS (paranormal suspense), in 2007. Thrilled CKR is finally in print after five long years, she's currently at work on an historical novel set in Malta, circa 1565, and toying with the idea of bringing the real story of Johnny Appleseed to life ... via screenplay. Stay tuned. This chick's goin' places. ;)

Please "Like" Dawn on Facebook!

Thank you in advance.

Discovery Channel - Shark Week, Curosity, and More

Happy Shark Week, everyone! We hope you've been escaping from the heat with our great lineup of sharks, sharks and more sharks. From our new shark-related apps to Shark Cam, you can find all the need-to-know details about Shark Week on our blog.

****
Discovery Channel's new series, Curiosity, takes viewers on a journey through life’s most thought-provoking questions. Celebrity hosts like Maggie Gyllenhaal, Robin Williams, Samuel L. Jackson, Michelle Rodriguez and Brendan Fraser will navigate questions like, “Why is sex fun?,” “How do drugs work?” and “Is there a parallel universe?"

The first episode, which premieres this Sunday, August 7 at 8 PM ET/PT, will tackle one of the biggest questions: “Did God create the universe?”, with Stephen Hawking. Hawking will guide viewers through his vision of how the universe was formed. Following the episode at 9 PM ET/PT, Meet the Press’ David Gregory will host a panel of theologians and scientists to discuss Hawking’s thesis. Join the discussion by following @CuriosityTV on Twitter and visiting the Curiosity Facebook page.

According to Discovery News, keeping kids entertained on a long car ride is one of a parenting's greatest challenges – and sometimes good old car games just don't cut it. That's where ToyToyota comes in. Its new (free) app "Backseat Driver" taps into the iPhone's GPS functionality to mirror the route of the real car in which the player is riding – allowing players to earn points by collecting objects and reaching certain mileages.

****
Most of you are familiar with our networks, but did you know that we also have about 40 apps across various platforms? Over the past two weeks, we've launched three exciting new apps that you can check out on iPad, iPhone and online:

• HowStuffWorks for iPad: This free app is an extension of the popular website and includes a great interface for browsing articles, all the podcasts from Stuff Mom Never Told You to Stuff You Should Know, and more. (It's also available on iPhone.)

• Ultimate Sharks for iPad: For those who wish Shark Week were year-round, Ultimate Sharks offers a deeper dive into these mysterious creatures through video, interactive, articles and photos, and is available for $4.99 at the App Store.

• Shark Week Live: Discovery's first co-viewing app, it only works live in primetime (8-11 PM ET) and is synched with airings of Shark Week on Discovery Channel. The app is available for free on iPad, iPhone and SharkWeek.com.

****
Sometimes even the best recipes need a little tweaking. This year, we need your help deciding which finalist will be the 13th contestant on season 2 of Next Great Baker. We want our viewers to size up hopeful members of Carlo's Crew and vote here for the contestant they think is most likely to knock Buddy's apron off. The next season of TLC's Next Great Baker will have tougher challenges, bigger prizes and higher expectations, so if these contestants can't stand the heat, well... you know the rest.

that tone the entire body. You can squeeze in a segment every day, or do a couple several times a week-the most important thing is that you enjoy it. I don't believe in expensive trainers. I don't believe in people yelling at you. I believe in realistic, sustainable fitness plans.

2Cellos Released on CD Yesterday - Check Out Your Favorties Songs Just Different


SONY MASTERWORKS RELEASES
2CELLOS (SULIC & HAUSER) DEBUT RECORDING ON JULY 19

Discovered Via YouTube For Their Fresh And Unique Covers
Of Hit Rock And Pop Songs Recreated On Their Cellos

On Tour With Elton John This Summer & Fall


Living in a small town in Croatia, 24-year-old music students, Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser, are living a dream come true – and quickly! After posting a self-made music video of them performing Michael Jackson's “Smooth Criminal” on their cellos, the longtime friends received more attention than they ever expected.



Within days, the video became a viral sensation and received millions of views. It got the attention of Sony Masterworks who signed them to a record deal. Concurrently, they received a phone call from legend Elton John who invited them to join him on his European tour this Summer and Fall. They recently made their U.S. TV debut on The Ellen DeGeneres Show where they performed “Smooth Criminal.”

“I feel so blessed that all of this is happening – a record deal with Sony Masterworks and a tour with Elton John – who would have imagined?!” relays Stjepan Hauser.

Their debut album will be released on July 19 and will feature Sulic & Hauser’s unique spin on hits by Guns N’ Roses, U2, Coldplay and Kings of Leon among others.

“We grew up with Michael Jackson, U2 and Nirvana. The melody and structure of their songs really inspired us to arrange them for 2 cellos. Bands like Coldplay, Kings of Leon and Muse also write songs with those similar melodic qualities – so we had a great time digging in and making them part of this album too,” says Luka Sulic.

The duo just released a second single and music video to Guns N’ Roses classic “Welcome To The Jungle” and like their first video, it is spreading quickly, getting over 1 million views in the first week!



Of the new single Hauser says: “Covering ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ was a real challenge but that one we were up for! We chose this song because we thought that it could sound like a whole symphony using only our 2 cellos. We’re really proud of it and think it rocks!”

2CELLOS also decided to record another Michael Jackson song – “Human Nature.”

“Even though we had already recorded ‘Smooth Criminal’ we wanted to also include ‘Human Nature’ because it is one of the most beautiful songs by Michael Jackson. It also allowed us to incorporate the use of pizzicato, which is my favorite technique,” says Hauser.

Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser have been playing the cello since childhood. Both recently completed their studies – Luka at the acclaimed Royal Academy of Music in London, Stjepan at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester. Luka has performed throughout the world at renowned venues such as London’s Wigmore Hall, Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, Vienna’s Musikverein and Konzerthaus. He has won a series of international prizes including first prize at the 2009 VII Lutoslawski International Cello Competition in Warsaw. Stjepan has performed in numerous European countries, South Africa, New Zealand, Asia and the U.S., with debuts in London’s Wigmore Hall, Royal Albert Hall, South Bank Centre and Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw. He was the last pupil of Mstislav Rostropovich. In his short career, Stjepan's accolades include winning twenty-one first prizes in national and international competitions and performing twice for Prince Charles in Buckingham and St. James's Palaces.

PARK PICTURES LAUNCHES FILM DIVISION

PARK PICTURES LAUNCHES FILM DIVISION
FIRST FILM UP IS "ROBOT & FRANK"
STARRING FRANK LANGELLA, SUSAN SARANDON,
JAMES MARSDEN, LIV TYLER, JEREMY STRONG AND LIEV SCHREIBER

Film shooting in New York in July/August 2011
New York, NY -- July 12, 2011 -- Jackie Kelman Bisbee and Lance Acord,partners in Park Pictures, announced today they have formed a narrative feature company, Park Pictures Features with independent film darling Galt Niederhoffer and award-winning producer Sam Bisbee.

Park Pictures Features' first project will be the family comedy,"Robot & Frank," starring Frank Langella, Susan Sarandon, James Marsden, Liv Tyler, Jeremy Strong and Liev Schreiber, as the voice of the Robot.

Written by Christopher Ford, the film marks the feature film directorial debut of Park Pictures' director Jake Schreier. The film is currently shooting in New York. Niederhoffer, Bisbee, Kelman Bisbee and Acord are producing the film. The film is executive produced by White Hat/TBB. Matt Lloyd is the Director of Photography.

Park Features' next projects are the directorial debut of Lance Acord, and a new project from British director, Ringan Ledwidge. The company will also produce the adaptations of Sam Lipsyte's best-selling novel, "The Ask," to be directed by Steven Shainberg, and the venerable late David Foster Wallace's short story, "Little Expressionless Animals."

Set in the future, "Robot & Frank" follows aging curmudgeon, Frank (Langella), a confused loner with a love for books. His one friend is the librarian Jennifer (Sarandon) that he regularly visits. Other than his library outings, and weekly visits from his son, Frank lives a quiet, lonely life, until his grown-up kids (Marsden, Tyler) install a caretaker robot to care for their dad and an unlikely friendship begins.

Jackie Kelman Bisbee, Partner of Park Pictures and Park Pictures Features, stated "At Park Pictures we have had the opportunity to work closely with many talented directors in the commercial arena and it is a natural evolution for our company to grow and to work in the feature film arena as well. 'Robot & Frank' is a beautiful story that's both touching, and at times very funny. We are enjoying the process of bringing this film to reality."

"Park is a company comprised of filmmakers, so as we grow and evolve it only makes sense to develop and produce their feature projects.

Being a commercial production company, we have a unique opportunity to utilize our resources within the industry to economically and efficiently make long form films. Having Galt on board has been great. Her knowledge and expertise is such an amazing asset." added Park Pictures and Park Pictures Features Partner Lance Acord, "I have been excited to see "Robot and Frank" go into production. Jake and C.D. Ford have been working on this for quite some time now and I must admit it has been a bit surreal to sit on set and see the film actually take shape. Jake is a very talented guy. His confidence on
set and insights into working with actors far exceeds that of a "first time director". I think his years of experience as a commercial and music video director have served him well.

Galt Niederhoffer, Park Pictures Features Partner as well as a Writer/Director/Producer stated, "I am honored and thrilled to join the Park family. Lance, Jackie and Sam have achieved that rare thing in this business, combining brilliant work with wonderful people."

Sam Bisbee, Park Pictures Features Partner and Producer added, "Galt and I are thrilled to be working with Jake Schreier and this stellar cast to bring Park Pictures Features first of many films to life."

Park Pictures plans for two movies in the first year, the first being "Robot & Frank." The company will draw on the client list of their top directing talent (which includes Acord, Schreier, Niederhoffer, Ellen Kuras, Joachim Back, Gary Freedman, Steven Shainberg, 300ml and Alison Maclean) as well as local NYC directors to make films with strong visual, narrative, and commercial appeal.

Acord, who directed the beloved and widely seen "The Force" Super Bowl spot for Volkswagen, was the Director of Photography for "Lost In Translation," "Where the Wild Things Are," and "Being John Malkovich."

A writer/director/producer, Niederhoffer brings fifteen years of experience in film, having brought eight films to Sundance, with seven of the films winning awards at the festival including Best Director, Best Cinematographer, the Audience Award, and Best Screenplay. Bisbee produced the Academy Award-winning live action short film "The New Tenants" in 2010 and has four screenplays in development.

Lance Acord -- Park Picture LLC Founder/Partner, Park Pictures Features Partner. After graduating from the San Francisco Art Institute, Lance began his career assisting the photographer Bruce Weber and quickly became one of the industry's most sought after cinematographers. After founding Park Pictures LLC with partner Jackie Kelman Bisbee, Lance seamlessly transitioned into directing, working with clients including Nike and Microsoft. Lance has won Gold Lions for his work on Nike's "before," Adidas' "Impossible: Laila Ali," "The Long Run," "Wakeup Call", and most recently "The Force". He was nominated as Best Commercial Director by the DGA in 2003. Lance's feature Director of Photography credits include Sofia Coppola's "Lost in Translation" (BAFTA nomination for Best Cinematography) and "Marie Antoinette," Vincent Gallo's "Buffalo 66," and Spike Jonze's "Being John Malkovich," and "Where the Wild Things Are."
