Hellboy 2 - The Deadbolt: Ron Perlman Interview

From The Deadbolt:

(Please follow the link for the complete interview.)



On Top of the World with Hellboy Ron Perlman

Jordan Riefe

After two Hellboy movies, actor Ron Perlman is on top of the world. In fact, as you'll see, his dreams are coming true. No stranger to working in make-up, behind the mask of a character, Perlman was the right person to bring Hellboy to live-action life on the big screen back in 2004. Now Perlman returns to the character made famous by Mike Mignola in the comic book series and director Guillermo del Toro on the big screen for Hellboy II: The Golden Army.

With Hellboy II storming into theaters, Ron Perlman had a blast with the press in L.A. sharing stories of life, Hellboy, and how his world is just ducky now that his dreams are finally being realized.



A brief excerpt:

On working behind masks:

"When I was first starting out in this business, I was really quite uncomfortable in my own skin. And luckily the good lord provided these roles almost in chronological order. First, Quest for Fire, which was mask acting, then Name of the Rose, which was mask acting, and then Beauty and the Beast, all happened during a period of my life where I was more comfortable behind a mask than I would’ve been naked, like this. It freed me up. It made me freer because it was no longer me. It was a transformed version of me, which was very abstract in relation to my own persona. So it made acting more possible and more freeing. These days I’m in my late 50s and I’m quite comfortable in my own skin and I no longer need the mask as much as I used to. So it becomes, ‘How much pleasure am I going to take in playing a masked character?’ And when the character is Hellboy, the answer is, ‘Man, I’m sure there’s a whole lot of other guys that wish they were me.’ And this is a real honor to play this character because the heart of the character is truly mythic, truly legendary and epic in scope, and he’s a phenomenal character to spend time with."

Nicole De Boer's NYC: Tornado Terror Airs Oct. 4

Nicole De Boer (who is guest starring in Stargate Atlantis' season five episode, 'Whispers' tentatively scheduled for Sept. 5 on the SciFi Channel) had a new made-for-TV movie, NYC: Tornado Terror, that will now premiere on the SciFi Channel on October 4, 2008. This movie co-stars Sebastian Spence (who guest starred in Stargate SG-1's 6th season episode, "Allegiance.")

This movie had originally been scheduled on the SciFi Channel for June 14.

The SciFi Channel left this message on the movie site:

The SCI FI Saturday original movie NYC: Tornado Terror didn't air June 14 as had originally been scheduled. The network postponed it in the wake of the recent Iowa tornado that killed four teens.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience due to the schedule change.

Stargate Atlantis / Sanctuary - Zap2It: Submit Your Sci Fi Comic-Con Questions

From Zap2It:

Submit Your Sci Fi Comic-Con Questions

By Andy Grieser

True Misfits believers:

Misfits Tamara and Andy will be in attendance at Comic-Con, and the great folks at Sci Fi have invited us to their SCI FI VIP Digital Press Weekend. Personally, I like to refer to it as the Weekend of Awesome. Even more awesome? We want you to give us questions to be asked at the various panel events. Check out the lineup:



* Stargate Atlantis: Joe Flanigan, Robert Picardo, Brad Wright, Jewel Staite, Chris Sanaugustin (either the SciFi Channel or MGM representative)



* Sanctuary: Amanda Tapping, Martin Wood, Robin Dunne

# Ghost Hunters: Robb Demarest



# Battlestar Galactica: Tricia Helfer, James Callis, Katee Sackhoff, Michael Trucco, Ron Moore, David Eick



# Eureka: Colin Ferguson, Sallie Richardson-Whitfield, Joe Morton, Jamie Paglia, Charlie Craig, Tony Optican

If you're like me, you're drooling right now (and not just at the thought of meeting Jewel Staite). Post your questions in the comments, with specific reference to show and (if you want) talent. We'll pick the best, and Sci Fi will provide video of those questions being asked, which of course we'll share here.

Plus, If you'll actually be at Comic-Con this year, let us know in the comments, wouldja? [At the link above]

Stargate Atlantis - GateWorld: David Hewlett Audio Interview

From GateWorld:



BRAIN CHILD

GateWorld talks with David Hewlett


For almost eight years actor David Hewlett has had Rodney McKay's technobabble-intense, egocentric dialogue running through his brain. As production continues on Season Five of Stargate Atlantis, he has much more on his mind nowadays: a television series in development, a movie script, a wife and son and yes -- Stargate!

In this interview, David hints at what is to come in Season Five before remembering some highlights from last year -- some good, and some not so good. He also talks about fatherhood, working with new full-time cast members Robert Picardo ("Richard Woolsey") and Jewel Staite ("Jennifer Keller"), and where things are at with Star-crossed -- a new comedy series he is writing for SCI FI Channel.

GateWorld's interview with David runs approximately 28 minutes. Listen online at your leisure, download it to your MP3 player, or subscribe to the iTunes podcast. The full interview is also transcribed [at the link above]!



GW: Any stories coming up that are Rodney-heavy that you were surprised at, or looking forward to?

DH: My favorite script of all time, I just read: "The Shrine of Talus" -- Which is Brad Wright. (Ed: Since this interview, the episode has been renamed simply "The Shrine.") He's just written this script. And it's good to have Brad.

It is truly ... it's the script. It's the one that is going to blow everyone away. It's unbelievable. It's like a wicked acting piece. Whether I'm supposed to say this or not, Kate [Hewlett, "Jeannie Miller"] is coming back. We've got "Jeannie" back. And it's ... just brutal. It's like total tear-jerker. It's gonna be neat.

And for McKay, it's fantastic because there's this whole deterioration thing happening. And it's just ... it is the one, without a doubt, that I'm most looking forward to right now. Andy [Mikita] is going to direct it, too. So he's very excited about it, as well.

10 pm/ET SCI FI New

The fourth-season finale brought the house down, quite literally, on Ronon, Sheppard, McKay and other teammates who set off to save Teyla from recurring baddie Michael. Season 5 begins with a rescue effort to retrieve the rescue team trapped in the rubble of Michael's former facility. Expect the usual in-the-nick-of-time solutions, along with a surprising turn for Col. Carter. — Michael Chant
