madmaverick June 9, 2015 Share June 9, 2015 Michael Dorn's twitter handle @akaworf makes me laugh. And the other Michael from Castle is in Con Man too, Michael Trucco, aka Demming. Would be cool if Penny popped up since she was once on a sci fi show too and is now off Castle, but it's probably too late for that since the script was written way before. Link to comment
verdana June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 Michael Trucco is certainly very pally with Nathan, he recommended him for the job on Castle if I'm not mistaken. Pity "worf" as so poorly used on his last outing on Castle but great to see him appearing on another Nathan project. Link to comment
madmaverick June 11, 2015 Share June 11, 2015 Nathan and Michael Trucco are good friends, but I don't know if Nathan recommended him for the job. I assumed they met on Castle, but possibly not. They sure picked some good lookers as Beckett's boyfriends, but perhaps due to a mix of the writing and the acting, they both felt rather wooden to me. Nathan is voicing Halo 5. http://www.ew.com/article/2015/06/09/halo-5-guardians-new-spartans-nathan-fillion?hootPostID=68d3e74e9764b4a73fe36561cc868583 Link to comment
WendyCR72 June 12, 2015 Share June 12, 2015 So I'm watching S1 DVDs of The Closer and, lo and behold, who should pop up as a Russian friend of the murder victim in the episode "The Big Picture" (S1, E3 from 2005) but Stana Katic. Her character's name was Nadia and she sports some heavy bangs and long hair in it. If you want to see a clip of it? Here: Link to comment

madmaverick June 22, 2015 Share June 22, 2015 Jon and Seamus' short, Sequestered, is up on funny or die. http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/9217cdf73e/sequestered I love political satire, but can't say I found this terribly funny or interesting. I suppose the end credits song was a plug for Jon's music, but what an odd choice. Finished watching Season 1 of Bosch from Amazon, with Annie Wersching playing a cop. She looked quite different in this gritty, noir kind of cop show with little makeup compared to how she looked as Nieman on Castle. The murder mystery dragged a bit by the end, but the show was still a good watch because of the characters and the acting, and I'll probably check out Season 2. The music and cinematography on the show were outstanding and really gave the show a lot of character, and Bosch's apartment rivals Castle's loft for sure. It's a different creature from Castle altogether even if both revolve around cops and murder mysteries; interesting to imagine for a moment Castle actors in this kind of slower paced, more real, character driven detective show. I don't know what the budget is for an episode of an Amazon show like this, but the production values are better than on Castle. Might check out Michael Connelly's books now. Also checked out Proof starring Jennifer Beals. She was perfectly fine in it, but the theme (exploration of life after death) didn't interest me enough, and not enough for me to stick with a procedural. Link to comment

It's good that they can recharge their creative batteries doing other projects over hiatus otherwise I imagine it'd be even harder to stay motivated and interested going into year 8 of playing the same character on a crime procedural. It'd be like dragging kids back for another year of school after a summer holiday, except it's the same syllabus every year instead of learning new things. ;) I'll be interested to see Stana in The Rendezvous because it could possibly have a more interesting story than her previous indies and it looks like she may have more of a lead role. But I find it a bit strange that the details about that film and whatever Stana's next film project is are still shrouded in mystery at this point; not even a casting notice, or a one line description of what the movies are about. Stana's a mysterious one heh. Maybe the other film she's still to do has some schedule clashes with Castle filming as it begins, and that could explain TV Line's spoiler news. Doing some binge-watching this Summer and have been checking out an old Starz comedy called Party Down, when lo and behold Tamala/Lanie shows up in an ep. Does she get more to do than 'lividity'?

She plays the daughter who is putting on the reception for her father's funeral, and at one point tells one of the obnoxious caterers something like, "shut it, white boy." Sassy and to the point, just like Lanie. I like Rob Thomas' work and Party Down is one of those series I keep meaning to watch but have yet to get around to doing it. I started watching because Adam Scott is such a cutie pie. It's a quirky little show, not huge laughs but oddball characters that are fun to watch, and delightfully awkward situations that are fun to cringe through. There are only 20 1/2 hour eps, so it's a good little Summer binge. Link to comment

In a room with regular lighting with a cell phone camera. Aren't actors supposed to look better when lighting can be adjusted, when wearing makeup, and film cameras should be able capture images better than a cell phone camera, right? We will see whether he looks better in Con Man than he does on Castle when it comes out, but I am already liking his wardrobe here. ;) Link to comment

verdana July 2, 2015 Share July 2, 2015 Stana Katic & Raza Jaffrey To Star In Amin Matalqa’s ‘The Rendezvous’ at deadline (excerpt below) EXCLUSIVE: Stana Katic (Castle) and Raza Jaffrey (Homeland) will star in Sundance award-winning director Amin Matalqa’s action adventure The Rendezvous. Inspired by classic romantic capers as North By Northwest and Romancing The Stone, the film is an adaptation of Sarah Isaias’ book A New Song. Set in Jordan, the film recently wrapped principal photography on location there. Terrel Seltzer (One Fine Day) has written the script, which follows an unlikely pair who find themselves swept up in a deadly race to find a sacred Dead Sea Scroll hidden in the ancient city of Petra. The film is produced by Dan Halsted (Garden State) and Tricia Gibbs. Amanda Rohlke is exec producing. Alfonso Bassave, Ron Guttman, Glenn Fleshler, Darby Stanchfield, and Nadim Sawalha round out the cast. Stana Katic and Raza Jaffrey are repped by Gersh/ Principal Entertainment LA. Link to comment

madmaverick July 2, 2015 Share July 2, 2015 The plot of The Rendezvous is quite different to what I imagined. Sounds like an Indiana Jones kind of movie than something more serious, which could be a good or bad thing depending on the script and execution. But North by Northwest is one of my favourite movies and I like the other films mentioned in the blurb, so that's good. I wonder if there's some kind of Disney/ABC connection as some of the other actors and the director are all connected to the studio. Don't know if Stana gets a first look at scripts coming through the studio because of her Castle connection. The other indie Stana is set to begin filming, Sister Cities, may be even more promising. A female centric story of sisters getting together for a family gathering and drama ensues, and ALS is part of the story. As the first feature to be directed by Alfred Molina, it should be getting some press. Link to comment

TWP July 4, 2015 Share July 4, 2015 The book that The Rendezvous is based on does not sound like Indiana Jones at all. It sounds more "cerebral" which may not be a good sign for the widespread success of the movie. As long as it's better than CBGB, it may be watchable. Link to comment
madmaverick July 4, 2015 Share July 4, 2015 (edited) I was expecting something more cerebral and contemplative too, but they seem to be going in a more commercial direction. Which could make it accessible to a wider audience, but could also end up less interesting. But oh yeah, please let it be more watchable than FLO and CBGB. This is how the director describes it: Renee @slprenee Jul 2 @AminMatalqa Will the film have a lot of the same elements of Judaism & the Muslim religion as in the novel? Amin Matalqa @AminMatalqa Jul 2@slprenee Not so much. It's more of an adventure. Loose adaptation. Hitchcock meets lethal weapon, and a little bit of Indiana jones.

turnitwayup July 10, 2015 Author Share July 10, 2015 (edited) The con man nerd hq just finished and Michael Trucco mentioned how much he wanted to work with Nathan again after being on Castle so he was one of the early on board. I don't know where these full panels are gonna be uploaded on cause the nerd machine doesn't have them on their channel but ign has been doing a day recap on their channel while live streaming all of the panels too. So it looks like all the panels aren't gonna be separated into it's own vid so you have to scrub thru the day long vids. Con Man panel at SDCC but that vid is basically everyone telling their story how they got involve with the project. Missing the Q&A from the audience and Barry's proposal to Billy at the end. So it looks like Nathan wore turquoise jeans today, but his outfits so far has been an improvement over the plaid and khaki pants he usually wears. This pic from Chris would've been more entertaining if it was an instavid. Edited July 11, 2015 by turnitwayup Link to comment
Gant July 11, 2015 Share July 11, 2015 I just watched the Con Man trailer and was very pleasantly surprised. Have to admit, I expected it to be mildly enjoyable but mostly because of all the cameos and meta play. Now though I think it can be a real winner. Sure there's no judging by a trailer, it could turn out either way, but what I saw somehow really impressed and made me want to watch it. Production, script and general atmosphere look very attractive (to me) for this kind of venture. Stana's two current projects also sound much more promising (to my taste) than her earlier ones. Sounds like it could be more "flesh and blood" and less pretentious pseudo arthouse, pardon my French ;). Especially Sister Cities. So Castle leads seem to have used their hiatus well, so far. Finally have time to dig into the Comicon stuff tonight, so may watch Nathan's Nerd HQ panel live. Have to catch up later on the previous ones. Link to comment
