BABBLING BROOKE BLOG July 19, 2009

Sexy SCARS Readers:

Welcome back to my BABBLING BROOKE BLOG! As promised, you will get a little HORROR...a little HOLLYWOOD...a little HIGH DRAMA! :)

HORROR: I was recently contacted by a dear friend and business associate, Marv Blauvelt, about the film COME. Here's what he had to say:
"When my friends, Arthur Cullipher and Kirk Chastain (from CLOCKWERK Pictures) gave me the script for COME and offered me the lead, I immediately said yes....the script is very "Lovecraftion", (and I LOVE H.P. Lovecraft)...it is by far the creepiest project I have been attached to, and some of the visual imagery that Arthur and Kirk have captured is VERY Dark and Haunting....and the gore scenes are not for the squeamish. Filming is nearly complete, and from what I have been told, the folks at Clockwerk Pictures plan to finish post by the end of August and start submitting to festivals as soon as possible."
Check out the press release:
Clockwerk Pictures Presents

COME

A surgical fetish doctor, obsessed with cutting off the vulvas of women and sewing them on their faces, meets his fate through the conspiratorial workings of a brothel proprietor, a prostitute and the Goddess of a strange religion.

Come is pure surreal, occult horror, featuring everything from the molestation of a tentacled, six breasted goddess in a jar to lust, murder, idolatry, revenge and salvation.

Marv Blauvelt, (Sculpture) plays Dr. Conduit, a man drawn into the worship of monsters and led to shocking acts of depravity, vying for the favor of a dark mother goddess.

Dave Pruett as Mr. Maker, proprietor of the brothel that has supplied the doctor's past two victims. A sinister individual with a wooden hand who will lead the good doctor to his fate and salvation by offering him a mysterious opportunity.

Emily Johnson as Siren, a seductive and treacherous prostitute employed by Mr. Maker serving as a mocking ghost of the doctors past.

Also starring
Kara Erdel and Leya Taylor as the doctor's previous victims, now "zombified" with their vulvas crudely stitched on their faces.
Lydia Comer and Shane Beasley as other weird denizens of the dark brothel.

Written and directed by Kirk Chastain and Arthur Cullipher (The Adipocere Child)

COMING THIS FALL!

HOLLYWOOD: You guys all know how much I have been supporting the action film BREAK. The film stars Michael Madsen, James Russo and the late David Carradine and I play The Bitch At The Bar in the opening scene! I am passing on a quote from my wonderful director, Marc Clebanoff, in hopes that you will rent the DVD!
"I just wanted to thank everyone who has supported me and my film BREAK along the long journey that's finally brought me to this week: the DVD release.

I've spent (and some of you have as well) over 2 years working to make sure BREAK is a success. We've garnered 5 awards, done numerous promotional & festival screenings & showed theatrically in 4 major US cities. We've been interviewed and highlighted by everyone from ET to the New York Post. At the end of the day, however, the success of a small independent film is completely based on the support of our friends, family, cast, crew and fans who support the film, talk it up & help us to fuel the buzz.

Below I've shared some links with you that you may or may not have already seen. Today my hope is that everyone helps me to make this film successful by doing one of the following:

All of these actions contribute significantly to the success of BREAK and bring me one step closer to being able to produce my next project (and employ many of you again).

Thank you all for your time and support. It means more than you know...

Best Regards,

Marc Clebanoff"

HIGH DRAMA: Had to share this one, as "drama" follows me from Hollywood to Buffalo!!! :) So, I hit Buffalo last week to play the role of Nicole in SLIME CITY MASSACRE. I flew across country all day and was totally wiped out and ready to hit the sheets at my hotel. I was still on West Coast time, so I had a tough time falling asleep. I watched TV for hours and started to freak out, as I had to be up at 7am to get to set. I finally zonked out at 3am and was sleeping like a baby when the fire alarms start raging like crazy and the hotel gets evacuated! I thought I was having a nightmare, as it was 5am and I had to be up at 6am to get ready to shoot. The hotel guests sat outside for an hour before we were allowed back into our rooms. It turned out that a toaster oven had caught on fire in the kitchen...just my luck! :)
LOTS more SLIME CITY MASSACRE gossip to come...

Love & Horror,

Sexy SCARS Readers:

Welcome back to my BABBLING BROOKE BLOG! As promised, you will get a little HORROR...a little HOLLYWOOD...a little HIGH DRAMA! :)

Speaking of the horror posse, I want to share a special announcement from Megan Sacco:
CUTZ – THE MOVIE
“ Sometimes nightmares are real”

A short film written and directed by Megan Sacco – Lady Haunter Inc. & Rob Roy- Wit’s End Entertainment
Story by Megan Sacco

Cutz is not for the faint at heart. It is a psychological thriller that is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat right from the very beginning. A group of kids enter a psych unit with various issues. Unbeknownst to them they have a connection that soon reveals itself. After years of repression they all begin to remember how they got to where they are today: drug addicted, eating disorders, cutting. Once the “secret” reveals itself, mayhem ensues.
Filming is set to start in August. Still casting some of the major roles.
This will be Megan’s Directorial debut.

You know how I feel about powerful women, so kick some DIRECTING ass, Megan!

HOLLYWOOD: THE BOLLYWOOD BOYS: The old saying that "work begets work" really seems to hold true! I recently wrapped a film called THE SINATRA CLUB and met a wonderful guy who was working on production, James L. Bills. We totally bonded, as he shares a similar attitude and work ethic to mine! Through producer Crystal Wortman, I was brought into the movie DOUBLE TAP and low and behold...the DP was James L. Bills! (See where this is going? ;) James got to see my work in 2 back to back flicks and soon contacted me about 2 upcoming projects he is directing! We have recently done a deal to attach me to his hilarious comedy THE BOLLYWOOD BOYS. I am very excited and get to act in the film with the 2 leads...David Faustino and Corin Nemec (For all you 80's fans like me...BUD BUNDY and PARKER LEWIS!!!) Check out a quote from James:

""The Bollywood Boys" came from an idea that Producer Al Gomez (writer of the comedy classic "Joy Sticks") had 3 years ago. He let me run with that idea and by summer of 2008 I had completed the script. The roles of Jerry and Tom (our heroes) were written specifically for David Faustino & Corin Nemec (STAR-VING) who in 2009, along with their business partner Todd Bringewatt teamed with our production team making "The Bollywood Boys" an AGP / FNB production.

I worked on a TV pilot with Nan Swartz, an Emmy winning producer who had created several shows for MTV in New York and brought her and her partner Andrew Greenbury (There's Something about Mary) on board as part of AGP.

Given the comedic needs of our project I have approached some very talented actors to join "The Bollywod Boys". Currently I am in discussions with Hilliary Barbour (The Bold and the Beautiful) , Camden Toy (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) , Brooke Lewis (The Sinatra Club) and the very sexy girl from our poster Lauren Jacobs.

"The Bollywood Boys" was inspired by my love for classic movie comedies, writers such as Mel Brooks, Harold Ramis & others along with charismatic actors that I grew up idolizing."

HIGH DRAMA: I know each week, I keep this section open to gossip, premieres, conventions, nights on the town, friends and personal stuff, but this week I want to get really personal. Those who know me know that I am like a powerful, lil energizer bunny who "keeps going and going" and doesn't stop...and, this is often true! Well, recently, I was stopped and my batteries died!!! Since the beginning of 09, I have been blessed with back to back projects, tons of public appearances, traveling to movie premieres and horror conventions all over the country and about 3 friend's weddings! A typical day of mine begins at 5:30 AM and ends around midnight. I was going for several months on about 4 hours sleep a night and spread really thin. I thought I could go at this pace forever and all the films, red carpets, money and "accomplishments" were worth it! Well, I crashed and burned on my last film and ended up with a severe viral lung infection that I am still fighting for over a month! I have been in/out of the hospital, on tons of steroids, meds and breathing machines, haven't been able to talk or breathe, took off work for 2 weeks and lost a film, have spent a fortune on doctor bills, herbs and expenses, haven't been able to work out and feel like someone beat the shit outta me! Why am I sharing this with you?...Not for sympathy, but to share my experience, lessons and realizations! As artists, we all work so hard to make our dreams and goals come true...we sacrifice things from romantic relationships to missing certain special moments with family and friends to vacations to sometimes even inner PEACE and HAPPINESS! We think if we "keep pounding the pavement" or take that next meeting or make that personal appearance, something HUGE will happen, so "I can't stop now"!!! Well, take it from a lil lady who was just "stopped", it doesn't matter what "level" we are at in our career or what "budget" films we are doing, it is about finding balance, love and INNER PEACE! It's about saying "NO" sometimes and being okay with it...and not "fearing" that more won't come! I have been suffering so for the past month, but believe that God and the Universe kicked my ass, so I would STOP and they could get my attention for a month :) I have done more resting, relaxing and spiritual work in one month, than in the past 2 years! I have counted my blessings and thanked God for the unbelievable family, friends, business associates and opportunities I have in my life! Funny how in the past month, I haven't been able to breathe, but was forced to take a huge "breather"...crazy how that works! ;) You may think I have rambled in this post, but if one thing I shared made you think about life or this craziness of a career we all love so much, then my job is done!

Whew...that was a purge! Gotta save some energy, because I am flying out this week to star in Greg Lamberson's SLIME CITY MASSACRE with Debbie Rochon and Lee Perkins, even if I have to take an oxygen tank with me!!!

Love & Horror,
XO Brooke Lewis
