Say Farewell to a Supernatural Thriller

Staff Writer: Samuntha Mackenzie

Information about the movie Valediction has come from limited sources. Peter Kelley posted his thoughts and experiences with his client's, Eliza Dushku, upcoming script choices. At his request, she took on the project; the cast is top notch. With a talented British director and actors, Eliza is one of the few Americans in a substantial, if albeit support, role.

The movie was set to film in later but got bumped up in June. Locations, permits must have fallen into place. In addition, Eliza has Dollhouse to shoot in LA (which she currently is) and Ben Barnes, her costar, has Dawn Treader in Australia (in July).

From what this source has offered, his blog is a great read for any young actor making their way up the rungs. As a person with stage and film experience, I appreciated his candor.

He confirms that Valediction is a thriller with supernatural undertones. He also gives a glimpse into the Whiskey Park scenes.

It's Good to be Gay in Scifi

Staff Writer: Samuntha Mackenzie

Two scifi shows have announced their Gay Pride: Stargate Universe and Dollhouse.

For SGU, Ming-na and another cast member will be playing lesbians. For their second season, Dollhouse will be fleshing out characters' sexual story lines.

Since there are no openly gay characters in prime time, scifi has picked up the trend. Scifi has always been about investigating characters, space, and precarious situations. Have the geeks finally been won over by some pride?

I believe it's a natural progression in scifi. Homosexual themes have been played within scifi films and television. Anyone remember Dr. Crusher on Star Trek's: The Next Generation? Her love was given a female body and Dr. Crusher was, well, crushed.

Scifi has been home to the fringe and women's equality. Why not gays and lesbians too?

Staff Writer: Samuntha Mackenzie

Boston is abuzz with Eliza Dushku's new movie called Valediction. The Watertown native is speaking to reporters and tweeting on Twitter about the film. From our sources, the actress dishes about her new role that she is a seductress to a married man.

The married man, played by Ben Barnes, has a daughter in a coma after a tragic car accident. When he tries to unravel the mystery of her coma and save her life, he discovers he is the one in danger. Will he choose the easy way out . . . again?

Valediction means "an act of bidding farewell." MW

Twists and turns, family in crisis, and a man in limbo describe this indie thriller.

Directed by Suri Krishnamma. The cast includes: Eliza Dushku, Ben Barnes, Brenda Fricker, Danny Glover, Johnny Whitworth, and Dennis Haysbert.

Filming in Boston's Watertown ends July 3rd.

The movie is set to be released in 2010.

Dollhouse Hijacks ComicCon

Staff Writer: Grave Digger

This year Heroes won't be a force at the San Diego ComicCon. Dollhouse will be.

"Its two-hour panel is scheduled on Friday, July 24, including a screening of the 13th episode Epitaph One which was not aired on TV and 'a no-holds-barred Q and A about what they have planned for Season 2 by Whedon and star Eliza Dushku.'"

Heroes on the other hand will not have a panel. Can anyone say last season?

Update 6/23: Bryan Fuller quits Heroes. Was OHG right? Scifi Wire
