Gerard Butler's SNL promo + more LAC press

Gerard Butler's Saturday Night Live promo is now online and you can watch it below. Gerry will host this Saturday's (October 17) episode of SNL on NBC.



THR caught Gerard Butler and his co-star Viola Davis on the red carpet at the Law Abiding Citizen premier last week:



Gerard also did an interview with Parade and I've posted an excerpt from the article:

Not your typical fitness buff.
"I'm very extreme, so sometimes I keep it in my head to train a lot and other times I just abandon the whole thing, especially when I travel. Sometimes I get into traveling mode and pop off to New York or Scotland and London or even into Iceland and India. When I'm doing that, it's very difficult to keep up my fitness regime. So then I just start eating like a pig until I think, 'OK, it's time to swing the other way again.' I'd say it's a constant battle."

Update: Here are the UK websites for Law Abiding Citizen - Facebook, Twitter, Official Site.

Henry Ian Cusick talks about being Darwin

The official Darwin's Darkest Hour website has been newly updated, and includes an interview with star Henry Ian Cusick. Here are excerpts from the site:

Q: So you knew something about the era before taking this new role. Did you know much about Darwin?

Cusick: No, I didn't. And he's been sort of misinterpreted, I think. It's going to be really interesting for any creationists—if they tune in, which I don't know if they will—to see what a family man he was, what a religious man he was in the beginning, and how he sat on this information for such a long time. Because his dilemma was: Do I publish or do I not?

Q: In the film, the death of Darwin's two children, particularly his daughter Annie, is very pivotal. Did having kids yourself help you prepare for those scenes?

Cusick: I think any parent, at some time or other, has thoughts of their child dying. That's probably one of the worst things that could ever happen to a parent. So yes, it certainly made it easier for me to play, having children of my own.

Q: Were you surprised by anything you learned about Darwin or his theory through the course of doing this project?

Cusick: Yes. You know, for all the creationists out there, Darwin's just an atheist. But he was actually agnostic. There's a passage in the film in which he says that he doesn't know where the initial spark of life came from, you know? He thought that that spark of life came to Earth, and then from that one spark all these other things were created. And I think that's a very honest and open view. I don't see how anyone can say he's anti-Bible, anti-God. He's saying he just doesn't know. He doesn't know where the first spark came from.

The passage in the script, from Darwin's own writing, goes: "I think there's beauty—and grandeur—in a view of life having been originally breathed into perhaps a single form, and that from so simple a beginning, endless forms, most beautiful and wonderful, have been and are being evolved."

Be sure to go here for the entire interview and be sure to check out the new website.

Don't forget that the the two-hour drama premieres Tuesday, October 6th at 8PM ET/PT on PBS.

Darwin's Darkest Hour website launch

I got an e-mail from a NOVA representative about the upcoming film, so I'll pass on the information to you.

The Darwin's Darkest Hour companion website will launch tomorrow, Tuesday, September 22 and will include an interview with Henry Ian Cusick.

Here's what you'll find on the companion website:

A NOVA Drama
In this Q&A, Paula Apsell, Senior Executive Producer of NOVA explains why she wanted to bring Darwin to life through a scripted drama, and the importance of keeping the topic of evolution in the spotlight.

Explore the Galapagos
Of all places on Earth, this island chain may be the most important to our understanding of evolution. On this interactive map, tour the Galapagos and get a sense of their signature wildlife species and geology through video, audio, and panoramic images. Also, learn how visiting the islands inspired Darwin's thinking.

Parallel Lives
In this article, Sean Carroll, one of the luminaries of evolutionary science today, reflects on the parallel discoveries Darwin and Wallace made on each man's road to understanding evolution's primary mechanism, natural selection.

The Scriptwriter's Story: Capturing Darwin's Dilemma
In this interview, scriptwriter John Goldsmith discusses how the dialogue, characters, and events of the drama relate to the historical record, and the extraordinary research he did to get the details right.

The Actor's Story: Being Charles Darwin
Henry Ian Cusick, widely known as Desmond Hume in the hit series "Lost," relished his chance to take on the role of a very different character. He knew little about Darwin at the outset of the project, and stepping into Darwin's shoes changed Cusick's views about the man and evolution in general.

Watch the Program
Beginning the day after "Darwin's Darkest Hour" premieres on television, you can view the entire program online at anytime.

Here's a prologue for you to watch:

The Ghost website now online

The Ghost, starring Ewan McGregor now has an official website. Best of Ewan says that the site has a plot summary, a bio of the film's director Roman Polanski, some photos of Ewan, and a clip that also features Ewan. All that appears for me though is Roman Polanski's bio, so maybe I have a problem with my browser. I hope it works for you guys.
