Lifetime Network has cast Golden Globe and Emmy Award nominee, Rob Lowe to play the Florida prosecutor in the new network’s movie about the Casey Anthony Trial.

Lowe has already played a part for Lifetime as an accused wife murderer in the Lifetime movie, ‘Drew Peterson: Untouchable.’

He will portray Jeff Ashton, the prosecutor who failed in his attempts to convict Casey Anthony of murdering her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee.

Caylee’s remains were found near the Anthony family home in December 2008 about six months after she was last seen.

On July 5, 2011, a jury acquitted Casey.  Ashton then wrote a book about the case called ‘Imperfect Justice: Prosecuting Casey Anthony.’

The Lifetime movie is based on Ashton’s book and officials say the movie will show “Ashton’s inside story of the true crime drama that captivated and then shocked the nation when Caylee Anthony’s mother, Casey, was acquitted of killing her daughter, despite what many thought to be overwhelming evidence of guilt.”

They say the movie will be shown through the eyes of Ashton and take viewers behind the scenes of the trial.

The Executive Vice President of Programming at Lifetime Networks, Rob Sharenow says, “Rob Lowe is one of those rare stars who can do it all, comedy, drama, heroes and villains.”

The title of the movie will be called ‘Prosecuting Casey Anthony.’

Will ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Top ‘Avengers’ $200 Million Record Weekend?

Posted in Entertainment, fame, Movies, Television, Trends LA with tags , , , , , , , , , , , on May 8, 2012 by Dianne Escalona

The ‘Avengers’ opening weekend made the most money out of any other movie opening in the U.S.

$200.3 million in the U.S. to be exact.

Marvel’s ‘Avengers’ trailer.

The movie even beat the previous record of $169.2 million for ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2’ opening last year.

The executives for ‘Batman’ say those numbers mean big business for ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ which opens in theaters July 20.

Warner Brothers executive, Jeff Goldstein says the final chapter in Director, Christopher Nolan’s Caped Crusader trilogy may dominate ‘Avengers’ opening weekend sales.

A box-office analyst, Jeff Bock says “The Avengers” success may fuel ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ and that the $200 million mark can obviously be reached again.

Movie analysts say if movies like ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ which is released July 3 is still out in theaters by the time ‘The Dark Knight Rises,’ comes out, that the movie will make less sales than expected.

Also, ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ will only be shown in 2-D and 2-D IMAX and not 3-D like ‘The Avengers’ which made up the majority of the Marvel movie’s opening weekend sales.

Do you think ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ will beat out ‘Avengers’ sales??

Check out ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ trailer.  In theaters July 20.

Actor Jake Gyllenhaal Convices Cops he’s One of Them!

Posted in Entertainment, fame, Movies, Television, Trends LA with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on May 5, 2012 by Dianne Escalona

In Jake Gyllenhaal‘s upcoming movie “End of Watch,” the actor transforms himself into an LAPD officer.

He spent five months in physical training, went on patrol rides, and even shaved his head.

Image

His transformation was so convincing that during practice for one of the scenes, some LAPD cops were driving by and Gyllenhaal threw up a hand sign with four fingers to say ‘everything is ok’ and the cops threw the sign back.

The film’s writer and director, David Ayer says shooting throughout the film was a “found footage” style which meant the camera crew was usually out of sight when Gyllenhaal and his partner, Michael Pena performed their scenes.

He says there were times when Gyllenhaal and Pena would be in marked police cars and no cameras would be around to show that a movie was being filmed.

The director also says that the shooting style means that the footage comes from cell phones and security cameras which is inspired by reality.

This kind of style is also used in horror movies where the actors themselves are doing the shooting.

He says that by the end of the movie, Gyllenhaal became really good at shooting and that some of the movie scenes are the actor’s own camera work.

Many of the events in the film were inspired by true stories from a former LAPD gang officer.

In the movie, Gyllenhaal and Pena make a drug bust which angers a powerful drug cartel.

Ayer says the cartel is based on actual crime rings and that there are many in Los Angeles because of the proximity to Mexico.

‘End of Watch’ comes out in theaters September 28 and also stars Anna Kendrick from ‘Twilight’ and America Ferrara from ‘The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.’

Posted in Entertainment, Movies, Music, Television, Trends LA with tags , , , , , , , on May 3, 2012 by Dianne Escalona

Kodak Theatre

The owner of the Hollywood and Highland Center, CIM Group has changed the name of the Kodak Theatre to Dolby Theatre.

CIM Group dropped the Kodak name after a bankruptcy court judge approved it.

Eastman Kodak Company, that invented the hand-held camera filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in January 2012.

The Kodak Company had signed a 20-year naming rights deal with the group in 1999.

The president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Tom Sherak said they had considered moving the Academy Awards to another venue, but they decided to keep the Oscars in Hollywood.

The award show has been held at the four-level, 3,400 seat theater since 2002.

The academy has signed a separate agreement to keep the Oscars at the theater for another 20 years.

Sherak says they have approved the new theater’s name.

The financial details of the new agreements were undisclosed.

Kodak had previously paid a $3.6 million annual fee for the naming rights.

Dolby is a company that creates audio technology in homes to theaters.

Company officials say it would begin renovating the theater’s sound system this summer.

The 85th annual Academy Awards are scheduled at the newly named theater for February 24, 2013.

The Dolby company website explains how they will be transforming the theater.

Latinos en Hollywood……………

Posted in Entertainment, fame, Fashion, Movies, Music, Television, Trends LA, Uncategorized with tags , , , , , on March 4, 2011 by johnathansolarte


En las últimas dos décadas, la representación de los hispanos en Hollywood ha sido influyente en el desarrollo del mundo cinematográfico. Una industria a la cual era quizás imposible pertenecer en años pasados. En los noventa, eran pocos los personajes significativos de los latinos en la pantalla grade, con la excepción de algunos como Jennifer López y Antonio Banderas. Estos dos importantes símbolos hispanos, han logrado convertirse en íconos dentro de la industria, llegando a poner en alto la cultura Hispanoamérica. Hoy en día, a pesar que el número de latinos dentro del espectáculo ha incrementado, la imagen o personajes que se les permiten desarrollar crean un estereotipo en donde su reputación queda en entre juicio. Por ejemplo: en la mayoría de casos, el latino personifica el típico borracho, narcotraficante, mujeriego o la víctima a la cual se le atropellan sus derechos.
Es importante hacer conciencia que ya no somos parte de una minoría a la cual solo se nos ofrecen las sobras. Nuestra reputación es la única que al final se ve afectada, generando una falsa imagen de las verdaderas características de nuestra cultura.
