Disappointed to hear about Nothing is Private... by DanielKurland	Sep 9th, 2007 11:44:03 PM
I'm seeing it Wednesday, and I love Ball and Eckhart and had pretty high hopes. Hopefully they'll at least be at the screening, and I can get to ask them a thing or two...

Whatever Happened to Alan Ball's Zombie tv show? by ShiftyEyedDog2	Sep 9th, 2007 11:50:04 PM

I always hate it when by Space oddity	Sep 9th, 2007 11:59:27 PM
assholes who clearly have no taste get to see exciting new things at cool film festivals. Especially assholes who say that American Beauty was superior to 6 Feet Under. It wasn't. 6 Feet Under totally paid up on the artistic promise that American Beauty was. If his review of Towelhead is accurate, then it sounds like clear proof that Ball's forte is television where he has more time and space to work with.
I was looking forward to Lynch's next.... by The Dum Guy	Sep 10th, 2007 12:16:23 AM
I just saw INLAND EMPIRE the other day and I want more Lynch.
Nevermind on the Zombie Thing by ShiftyEyedDog2	Sep 10th, 2007 12:29:16 AM
I was confusing a Vampire series he was gonna do with "Babylon Fields" - a zombie show that apparently didnt get picked up for the fall season (and Ball has nothing to do with that one).
ShiftyEyedDog2 by lucky_cosmonaut	Sep 10th, 2007 01:16:32 AM
It's a vampire series. Based on a series of novels. "Western Vampires" or something like that. I believe it's still on the way...

TRUE BLOOD by cocolopez	Sep 10th, 2007 12:39:10 PM
is still on the way- the pilot has been filmed and filming on the rest of the season starts this fall with a release scheduled for February
It's not like this was a huge thing by Lynch... by DanielKurland	Sep 10th, 2007 01:38:46 PM
It's a three-minute short, that I actually enjoyed. He's been doing tons of short stuff for ages, this by no means is the follow-up to Inland Empire or anything...

Alan Ball's series is vampires, not zombies, based on the Dead books by Charlaine Harris. It's called "True Blood." I believe they only have the pilot shot at the moment, and it will likely premiere in Jan/Feb on HBO. Michael Cuesta (showrunner for Dexter, as well as the director of L.I.E. and Twelve and Holding, who has also worked on a ton of other premium cable shows like Six Feet Under) had a zombie pilot for network television that, unfortunately, did not get picked up for the fall because it looked to gritty and dark for regular series television, so the studio execs thought.
I was at the World Premiere on Saturday... by jimmythejet	Sep 10th, 2007 03:21:38 PM
and I thought Nothing is Private was a brilliant film. The theater was packed and were really into it. The laughing went on throughout and the applause at the end was not out of pity but genuine admiration of the film. Six Feet Under rules btw. Peter Macdissi is awesome as the father and is the primary source of the laughs. Summer Bichel is amazing too... man this film was good.
