Reader Christine Berni, the woman responsible for the American Gothic DVD petition, wrote in with some good news from Comicon.  Shaun Cassidy (creator/executive producer) told attendees to his panel that the show would be out in October. We placed some calls to our retail friends and kept hearing a single date, October 25. Keep in mind that date hasn't come from Universal, and isn't set in stone, but it sounds as though that's the date they have in mind.

Gary Cole In New Series

TNT have picked up a new series starring Gary Cole, the series will air in the 2005-2006 season.

Summary- A story about the formation of an elite team to fight urban
crime. In the late 1960s, in response to out-of-control urban crime, the LAPD created SWAT, which became the model for high-intensity urban law enforcement across the nation. Thirty-five years later, as street criminals have begun to ramp up their activities having become better organized and with use of automatic weapons, the LAPD determined it had to take SWAT to and even higher level. This series is about the creation of that new unit and its war on urban street crime.

Paige Turco filming new independent film in New Jersey
-'Waltzing Anna'-

Long Branch native Doug Bollinger is back behind a camera: Bollinger shot his first feature, "Just Lovers" in and around Monmouth County in 2001. He's now filming "Waltzing Anna," a comedy about doctor caught scamming senior citizens. Area locations included Marlboro Psychiatric Hospital, an estate in Rumson, and Monmouth Pulmonary Consultants in Eatontown. Major filming also is taking place in Jersey City and at Lake Hopatcong.

Another Long Branch native, Jason Webb, will handle post-production chores on Bollinger's film, out of his Evolving Productions company in Monmouth County. "Waltzing Anna" is independently financed with a budget in the mid six figures, Bollinger said. Some major performers are in the cast, including Pat Hingle and Besty Palmer, who was in Rumson for filming in September. Other performers include Paige Turco, Casey Siemaszko and George Morfogen.

Bollinger, who co-wrote the screenplay and is directing, said the "project has been a dream. Being able to work with such an amazing cast and crew has reminded me of why I've spent my summers selling Italian ice at Strollos in Point Pleasant Beach," he said.

From Asbury Park Press

Former Angel and Buffy writer Marti Noxon created the supernatural soap opera "Point Pleasant", now airing on FOX Wednesday nights.  It has a very creepy feel, similar to American Gothic.  Check it out!

American Gothic Feature Film News

From Empire.com

Buckin' Hell

One of the finest series ever cancelled after only a season, American Gothic, is to be given a new lease of life on the big screen. The series appeared in 1995 and swiftly won itself a cult fan base – although not quite swiftly enough to prevent its demise. A film version has now been given the go-ahead after some protracted legal wrangling – but the really good news is that Gary Cole is to return to his role as the demonic Sheriff Lucas Buck.

American Gothic told the story of Caleb, who goes to live with his cousin after a tragedy tears his family apart. The Sheriff in town takes an almost obsessive interest in the boy, and since events often mysteriously, almost magically, go his way, it seems that nothing will keep the boy out of his clutches. The film will be a re-telling of the original story, so we aren't going to give away anything more in case you don't already know.

The godlike Gary Cole is currently appearing in cinemas in Win A Date With Tad Hamilton and has been keeping busy with roles in everything from One Hour Photo and The Brady Bunch to The West Wing. Later this year he will be appearing with Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn in Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story.

Despite his busy schedule, he signed up to reprise his role as Sheriff Buck as soon as he heard that the film version had been given the green light. Sam Raimi, who produced the series, is apparently considering directing the movie, while other original cast members Brenda Bakke, Nick Searcy and Jake Weber have also climbed aboard. Unfortunately Lucas Black, who played Caleb, is now too old for the part, so much of the success of the film will depend on finding an equally talented, and thickly accented, teenage replacement.

If Raimi does direct, this will probably be his break from Spider-Man, between this year's release of the first sequel, and the beginning of production on the second for a 2007 release, so we can hope to see this late next year or early in 2006. For fans of ghostly-horror-suspense, the countdown starts here.

The Agency Second Series Starts In The UK ON 18th Feb on Hallmark Channel

Gary Cole Article (01/08/04)

ISU alum: Fame overrated; focus on skill development

By Michele Steinbacher
msteinbacher@pantagraph.com

NORMAL -- Illinois State University theater alum Gary Cole returned
to the ISU stage Saturday, but this time in the role of mentor.
The Park Ridge native told hundreds of theater students at the ISU
Center for the Performing Arts that actors shouldn't worry about
fame.

"The focus to stay on is, 'How do I improve? How do I become a
better storyteller?'" he said.

The veteran actor has appeared in more than 50 films and television
shows, as well as numerous plays staged on both coasts and in
Chicago.

Currently, he's on the television drama "The West Wing" as Vice
President Robert "Bingo Bob" Russell. He's also in the soon-to-be
released film "Win a Date with Tad Hamiliton!"

Cole is no stranger to the Great Lakes Regional Kennedy Center
Acting Theater Festival -- sponsored last week by ISU and Eureka
College. He appeared in two of the Kennedy Center regional
productions while attending the Normal university in the 1970s.

"It really fills my tank to be here," Cole told the crowd about
seeing Friday's night performance of "Metamorphoses" in Braden
Auditorium.

Watching the production conjured up memories of his early days in
theater, he said. "I was moved as I thought about the path in front
of those who were up there on stage."

After three years at ISU, he "jumped into the pool" and left for
Chicago to work in actor-run theater groups, he said. After a stint
with the famous Steppenwolf Theater, he eventually made his way to
Los Angeles.

The man who has played '60s family man Mike Brady in "Brady Bunch"
movies and gained cult status as mid-level menace Bill Lumbergh
in "Office Space" said of all his many roles, his favorite was
portraying the sheriff on the television thriller "American Gothic."

'So fired up'

About his role on "West Wing," Cole told the audience he loves
working with a group of "producers, actors, writers, directors that
are so fired up. ... It's not always on that level."

He described his intimidation during his first scene opposite Martin
Sheen, but his relief when Sheen made him feel comfortable. Since he
is playing a vice president, fans sometimes think Cole is political,
he said. But he admitted he's not.

"Of course Martin Sheen is, but nobody's as political as Martin
Sheen," he added.

On Saturday, Cole nonchalantly walked on stage wearing jeans, a long-
sleeve T-shirt and a hiking vest. The concert hall stage had only
two chairs -- one for Cole and the other for Don LaCasse, ISU School
of Theater director.

Students asked Cole questions about the paths to his success. What
techniques did he use to develop characters? Did he ever get
discouraged when he couldn't find work? Should actors work on stage
before they attempt screen roles? What about joining a union?

Fidgeting with a plastic litre of club soda and sometimes leaning
back in his chair, he answered each question with patient
explanation and occasional humor, speaking with students for more
than an hour.

Afterward, he reiterated his take on finding fame while he talked
among students in the center's lobby.

"Fame isn't a result you should focus on," he told them. "It's
gravy, and there's perks. But it's not tangible. ... Theater is the
same thing wherever you do it, whether in a big or small place. "

Cole lives in Los Angeles with his wife, actress Terri Siddall, and
their 9-year-old, Mary. In the Jan. 12 issue of People Magazine,
Cole talks about his family life, especially about how the family
has worked through his daughter's autism.
