A Chat with director Craig Singer (“Dark Ride,” “Perkins’ 14”)

You can’t look at the New Releases rack of your local video store these days without happening upon four or five dozen flicks (at least) that have bypassed theatrical release and gone straight to video. This is a particular annoyance for horror aficionados, who’ve seen their genre of choice end up as a sad collection of remakes, quick-turnaround franchises, or sometimes both. Thank goodness, then, for Lionsgate and their After Dark Horrorfest series, which provides brief theatrical releases and high-profile DVD releases for both up-and-coming and established filmmakers. Director Craig Singer found sufficient success with his first After Dark venture, “Dark Ride,” to find his way back into the fold for the latest round of Horrorfest films. But Singer’s “Perkins’ 13” is a bit more adventurous than the usual motion picture, as he explained to Premium Hollywood in a discussion which also tackled some of his other works, including “Animal Room,” with Neil Patrick Harris, and “A Good Night To Die,” with Michael Rapaport.

Hey, “Lost” fans! Got a question for producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof?

You know you’re a casual TV viewer when…you don’t know the name of your favorite show’s producers. If you’re pretty hardcore about your viewing habits, however, then you’ve probably memorized just about every name in the credits to the series you watch regularly, and if “Lost” is one of those series, then you’ll instantly recognize the names Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof. Of course, they’re not limited strictly to that show. Mr. Cuse had a hand in “The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai” and “Nash Bridges,” while Mr. Lindelof did his time in the trenches over at “Crossing Jordan.”

“And then we say, ‘Surprise! Turns out Walt was autistic, and everything that happened in the series was just in his imagination!'”

Bullz-Eye will be talking to Messrs. Cuse and Lindelof in conjunction with the appearance of “Lost” on our upcoming TV Power Rankings, and we’d like to give the dedicated readers of the show’s blog the chance to ask them some questions. Whether it’s about the headaches of time travel that have resulted from this season or that damned four-toed statue, just leave them in the comments section and we’ll add ’em to our list. Then check back here and on Bullz-Eye.com on April 15th to read their responses…and, of course, to find out where “Lost” turns up in the TV Power Rankings!

UPDATE: The interview has been conducted. Stay tuned for their answers!

Hey, “24” fans! Got a question for Agent Renee Walker?

Those who block out a part of their afternoon to watch their “stories” may best know Annie Wersching for her role as Amelia Joffee on “General Hospital,” and if you’re like our man Ross Ruediger, then a look at her resume will remind you of her role as a white supremacist on a very special episode of “Boston Legal.” For the most part, however, the average Premium Hollywood reader will look at this woman and say, “Hey, that’s Jacqueline Bauer!”

(John Paulsen will say, “Hey, that’s Freckles,” of course, but, then, he’s always been a little contrary.)

“What? An interview? Look, pal, I’m kind of in the middle of something here…”

Bullz-Eye will be talking to the lovely Ms. Wersching in conjunction with the appearance of “24” on our upcoming TV Power Rankings, and we’d like to give the dedicated readers of the show’s blog the chance to ask her some questions. Whether they’re about her characters, her experiences on the show, or even some other item on her resume, just leave them in the comments section and we’ll add ’em to our list. Then check back here and on Bullz-Eye.com on April 15th to read Agent Renee Walker’s responses…and, of course, to find out where “24” turns up in the TV Power Rankings!

A Chat with Joe Lo Truglio (“The State,” “Role Models”)

If the words “rub a dub dub” conjure images of a bearded man in chain mail rather than three men in a tub, then you’re probably one of the people who saw and laughed at “Role Models.” The film was directed by (and features a cameo from) David Wain, late of The State, but he’s not the only alumnus of that particular comedic organization to be found within its frames. There are actually a couple, if you’re counting, but only one managed to spend the duration of the film dressed in Medevial garb and spouting laughably earnest comments using mock Elizabethan phrasing…and – what luck! – we actually had the opportunity to speak to the gentleman in question.

Campbell Scott talks “Phoebe in Wonderland,” “Singles,” and more

Although Campbell Scott is one of those actors who’s been happily flying under Hollywood’s radar for the past several years (he estimates the time frame as somewhere between eight and ten), his appearance within the ensemble of the buzz-heavy indie flick, “Phoebe in Wonderland,” may change that. And if it doesn’t…well, as he reveals in his interview with Bullz-Eye.com, it’s not like he doesn’t enjoy being able to ride the subway in relative anonymity.

Campbell Scott on “Singles”:

“I’m 47, I have gray hair, and yet people still come up to me on the street who are in their twenties, who weren’t even born when ‘Singles’ was made…well, they were pretty tiny, anyway…and they say, ‘Oh, I love that movie.’ And I always say, ‘How OLD are you?”

Campbell Scott on “Phoebe in Wonderland”:

“When you go and watch it, even if you’re thinking about being a parent or if you have a little sister, anything like that, it becomes this little journey. And people either go for it or not. It ain’t ‘Die Hard,’ let’s face it! But it’s very, very provocative, I think.”

Campbell Scott on “The Spanish Prisoner”:

“Steve (Martin) is fascinating. I really like that guy. He’s really smart. You know, the thing I always think about Steve is that, like most really, really brilliant comedians, he’s a very serious dude. People who are funny in a profound way, when you meet them, they are totally serious. I don’t mean they’re severe or boring or unfunny to be with – they’re hysterical – but they are definitive in their work habits.”
