Gemini Rising and Shriekfest 2010

[Guest teedub]

This is the only picture I could find of Lance at Shriekfest 2010. He was there October 1 for the West Coast / LA premiere of "Cyrus: Mind of a Serial Killer."

And this is just an aside, but it looks like he was given a real Marine Corps shave for "Gemini Rising." Hope it's not cold in LA.

That's a superb picture, thanks so much for sharing. One of my Facebook chums went and had the chance to speak with him and I've been following his comments today and yesterday and it sounds like he had an absolute blast. I hope we get a sneak peak at the new look. I haven't been able to find out very much about "Gemini Rising" so I'm looking forward to some substantial info about the film.

As usual, Lance is looking good. Thanks teedub for sharing it with us.

BEER----> Fine photo of Lance. Hey teedub, are you related to Woody Harelson? 'Cause you could pass for him or his brother.

Just a reminder. Not my photo. I wasn't able to fly out to this film fest, sadly. Too liitle notice and not enough dough. :-(

LOL, beerbelch! Thankfully I don't look like Woody Harrelson since I'm missing that pesky Y chromosome and all. ;-)

Mark, I haven't been able to find a thing on Gemini Rising either. There was a book by that name in the 1980s, but this may have nothing to do with the film.

I'm fascinated to know what sort of role he has in the film. It's always exciting to hear they type of performance we can look forward to. Since he has had his hair shaved I would assume he is playing a marine? I guess he would have to be portraying a younger man in the film as I am sure I read that retirement from the marines is compulsory a month after an individual reaches 64 and that it's unusual to have active marines of this age anyway.

I didn't know there was a book of the same name Teedub. I had a look and it would seem that the main protagonists of that story are female so if it is based on the story then I would assume Lance is in a supporting role for this.

That said, that's all wondering aloud isn't it?

He is playing a Marine Corps general so that would answer the age factor. The book's plot doesn't sound like a match, though. Other star in the film is John Savage. Can't remember the woman in it. It'll hit me later. How I LOVE middle age. :-/

It's later. Amy Hathaway! (No, not Anne.)

Moderate success in proving this movie exists.

You know you're low budget when you're casting off of Craigslist!

Looking for non-union actress 30-40 to play a comatose woman in an infirmary. She is topless in the scene, and implants preferred [Eth speaking -> ] (sorry to be so graphic, but that's what is needed). We are shooting at Linda Vista Hospital. This is for a legit sci-fi/action feature. Actress will have no lines, but character is poignant to the storyline. This scene shoots tomorrow, Monday, and also on a pick-up day still tbd. Please submit to the email above asap, as we are casting quickly.

Thanks!

Hmmmm. Who'd have thought craigslist would be such a hotbed of acting talent. In all seriousness folks. I wonder if they are spelling his name wrong without realising or if he is receiving an alternative credit on this film.

[Guest teedub]

Good catch on the spelling! Could go either way.

And LOL on that first one. Because yeah, you know, most coma patients are laying in bed topless.
