From Hollywood Outbreak:





Also an article from The Hollywood Reporter about how, through Me and Orson Welles, CinemaNX is trying to create a new and viable method of distribution.

And, I think I forgot to include this earlier anywhere but, The Wrap's article on Christian McKay's 'dominating performance' as Orson Welles.

From Extra:

Zac Efron's fans are so dedicated, they even found him on the tiny Isle of Man -- in the Irish sea off the coast of England -- while he filmed "Me and Orson Welles."

Efron, 21, told "Extra" Monday at a L.A. press junket for the film (out Nov. 25) that he was entertained by "the idea of going to a fairly secluded place and to fly away for a couple of weeks... I was so excited to leave all the attention behind."

But as soon as he arrived, "We had a small crowd of young girls and boys hooraying us as we would drive up to set," Efron said.

He wasn't too upset.

"It's incredibly endearing and cool that they would do that kind of thing for you. I'm very grateful," he said.

He wasn't the only one who didn't mind.

"To be honest, I think our crew and the rest of the cast got a big kick out of it," Efron said, smiling.

Even though Efron has had fans following his every footstep since "High School Musical," director Richard Linklater describes the actor as "incredibly gracious."

Me and Orson Welles has earned a 100 Critics Choice Rating and the Critics' Choice Seal by the Broadcast Film Critics Association:





Interesting article from The Wrap, based on the Q&A with Richard and Christian from their screening of Me and Orson Welles:

"Me and Orson Welles" was "a difficult movie to get made in the current environment," director Richard Linklater admitted Tuesday night at TheWrap's screening/Q&A at the ArcLight Sherman Oaks.

Linklater (center, with TheWrap's Editor-in-Chief Sharon Waxman and actor Christian McKay) said the movie came about when he fell in love with Robert Kaplow's book and optioned it.

He went to his usual funding sources, but "our industry today has changed so much, it was clear they wouldn't finance this," even with "High School Musical's" Zac Efron attached. "The five guys who know everything said his audience won't go see this movie."

"In the '90s, this probably would have been a studio film," he added. "It doesn't fit the business plan anymore."

And God bless his little heart for being such an awesome dude.
