Lindsay Lohan’s Star on the Rise?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, New Releases, Upcoming Releases
Once-troubled star Lindsay Lohan is making positive Hollywood news again. The young actress will be starring opposite Jared Leto in Chapter 27, which opens this week, and has recently snagged the role of leading lady in Manson’s Girls.
Lohan will play Nancy Pittman in the film, a girlfriend of cult leader Charles Manson. Pittman remained a steadfast supporter of Manson throughout the multiple killings and Manson’s arrest. The movie will be told from Pittman’s point of view. Though the film has yet to begin shooting, there is already talk that the role could propel Lohan into an Oscar race - speculation which I think is a little strong at best.

Two New Films Put John Lennon in Limelight
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: IFC Films, Documentary, New Releases, Upcoming Releases
He was killed in January of 1980…and the world hasn’t been the same since. Once a Beatle, always a star, and nearly deported by President Nixon, British-born John Lennon grabbed his fair share of headlines during his remarkable life. But in death, he has become a legend, and now two new movies will explore the events surrounding his assassination.
Historical accuracy rules the film The Killing of John Lennon, which delves deeply into the world of killer Mark David Chapman. The other, Chapter 27, stars Jared Leto (who put on weight for the role). Excerpts from Chapman’s diaries are featured in The Killing, done voice-over style as fans watch the horrific re-creation of Lennon’s murder in New York City. The Killing honestly makes an effort to take viewers into Chapman’s head, but as his famous crime has never been fully explained this theatrical attempt falls a little short.

British Film About John Lennon Comes to U.S.
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: IFC Films, Documentary, Drama, Music, New Releases
IFC Entertainment is planning to distribute three movies in the U.S., new to States viewers but already old hat to British audiences. Two are comedies, but one is a thought-provoking documentary-style flick that focuses on one of the terrible events in American (and British) history.
The Killing of John Lennon focuses on Mark David Chapman’s actions in 1980 which robbed the world of a beautiful musical genius. Even two decades after his death, John Lennon is still rich fodder for movie makers of all kinds.
The flick is set to be released stateside January 8, exactly twenty-seven years and one month after the former Beatles member was assassinated.
