OK all you UK fans... get ready.  I just got the word that "Jedi Gym" will be in official competition at the 2008 Raindance film festival in London!  This is the international equivalent to  the Sundance film festival in the USA.  Of course we are stoked about that!  In other news, "Crossing Over" was rescheduled to open in the USA in October 2008 by The Weinstein Co. and Dreamworks has scheduled "A Thousand Words" to be released in October 2009 in the USA.  I will be in both of these features, along with Harrison Ford, Jim Sturgess, Ray Liotta, Eddie Murphy and other very fine actors.  There is more news to come but this is all I can say at the moment other than it's all very good news and anyone who is a fan of mine will be HAPPY!

Finished my very funny (at least in my and director Brian Robbins' opinion) cameo with Eddie Murphy yesterday and I had a great time.  It was cool to see the wheels working in Eddie's mind trying to come up with a gem to button up our scene while we were filming, but of course he did and it made the scene even funnier...that's why he makes the BIG bucks!  The crew laughed at what we both did and everyone on set was happy.  Eddie seemed to be doing the "I'm in character on and off camera" deal which threw me a bit cause I would talk to him between takes and he would only respond with physical reactions so I threw on the irresistible charm and he told me he liked me but by pounding his heart and pointing at me.  The deal is his character only has 1000 words to speak before he dies so for a full third of the movie he doesn't talk!  He was totally cool though, just not in a verbal kind of way.  

The trailer for this cool short I did has really taken off.  It has had almost three quarter of a million views on You Tube after being featured for the last few weeks and the response has been amazing.  Much more to come on this and the creative minds behind this.

 I will be shooting a new comedy soon starring Eddie Murphy called "A THOUSAND WORDS".  It's about a "blase guy who learns that he has only 1000 words left to speak before he will die".  Should be interesting...

The final edit on this short film was completed a few days ago and I have to tell you guys...the response it has been getting across the boards is beyond what any of us dreamed of.  We knew this was going to be something very special as we were making it, but what the directing team of VonRoble did with this shows only a glimmer of how far they will be going in this business.  It's not just a hilarious story, it's the special effects, the acting, and that special talent they have for the unexpected that just leaves your mouth wide open from shock or laughter throughout and especially at the end. Hell everyone LOVES this movie.  STAY TUNED FOR MORE ON THIS

I recently completed filming a short film called "Jedi Gym".  It's another hilarious short I starred in that already has incredible buzz going around.  The special effects as well as the great direction from the hot new directing team "Von Roble" make this unlike ANY short out there right now.  Stay VERY tuned for more info and buzz on this one.  These guys are going to be BIG.

"Crossing Over", the feature I am in that stars Harrison Ford and Ray Liotta is now slated to be released in August '08 -just a few weeks after the new Indiana Jones movie....
