First off I want to say, I am so sorry that I've been neglecting this blog over the past month! When I get a crazy filming or rehearsal schedule, I tend to put my blogging on the back-burner. I really need to learn how to balance the two, but please bare with me until I have it all mastered (Please don't hold your breath on that one).
Anyway, people are wondering what I have been up to lately. For those of you that don't know, I recently wrapped filming on the Gossip Girl spin-off, HOWEVER, it has not been picked up yet. There has been a cancellation or two in the lineup for CW's new shows so it's still being reviewed and being put up for discussion. If you didn't see the pilot for it, it is available online and possibly on the last dvd for Gossip Girl season 2. Not sure if that has been released just yet. If it's not, or if you simply have no money to be spending on dvds at the moment, check on Hulu or maybe FastPassTV under Gossip Girl season 2, it's titled 'Valley Girls'. I'm pretty sure it was the season finale for season 2 but I would not swear to it. Unfortunately, I have not been able to be a dedicated fan to the show due to crazy work schedules, but I'm catching up now. It's really a great show, btw. Anyway, back on track, 'Valley Girls', catch it when you have a chance. I'd love to hear your feedback! It's a 80's spin on the show, taking you back to when Lily Rhodes(me) was a teenager, so it's interesting to see how and why Lily is the way she is. It's got a GREAT cast! Some very hot guys, beautiful girls.. Much like the actual show in that sense, yet very different at the same time! Still praying for that to be picked up. Very eager for you guys to see what happens. To all the 'Lily-Owen-dynamic-duo' fans, I've enjoyed reading all your tweets very much and I know that Shiloh has too. We are very grateful for all of the support surrounding the spin-off!! I'll keep you all updated as to if it's been picked up or not as soon as I hear the word and have the permission to break the silence! CAN'T WAIT!
Wow, I ramble on so much, so sorry! On to my other projects. Oh, well, I had a few people ask me about when 'The Vicious Kind' will be released.. This is the film we premiered at the Sundance festival at the beginning of this year. It got out-standing reviews and we are all so thrilled, except for one thing. It has somehow been released on the internet. So we may fore-go any releases in the theaters. Very disappointing, yes, but the decision is not official yet. It would be a waste of time, in my opinion, to release it to the theaters when people will just watch it online instead. This upsets me because we all worked so hard to deliver a movie that people could love, and I would be grateful for any feedback on it! Don't get me wrong, I'm interested in what you all think about it, but at the same time it's kind of a betrayal because it feels like we did all that work just to turn around and find out it has been released onto the internet. So we're not so sure on putting it into theaters, but it will definitely be going to dvd no matter what! When a date is set, I will fill everyone in.
Also Black Water Transit is completed, and we have done numerous promotional functions for the movie. We haven't had the premiere yet, so there still isn't word on when it will be in theaters, but I will keep everyone informed on any and all updates I am notified of.
What I'm working on now is a drama called 'Janie Jones' with Abigail Breslin, Elisabeth Shue, Peter Stormare, and a few others. I can't really release anything on it just yet. All I'm really allowed to say is: It's a Drama, Abigail plays the role of Janie, I play the role of Iris. Janie's mother abandons her and she is sent to search for her father who doesn't even know he has a daughter. It's a really great storyline with a great cast. We have been filming it for a couple of weeks now. Right now I'm having a bit of time off due to my scenes not being on the schedule right yet, but very excited to get back to filming it here very soon!
Some people might be thinking, "What? She stated she wasn't filming Janie Jones!" Well in the beginning I was dealing with a lot of rumors about me auditioning for it and saying some weird things about it.. I never auditioned for the role and I did state to people I wasn't going to be in this movie simply because I never knew about any auditions or anything. Never even heard of it until the rumors were brought to my attention in an interview I did. Then as the rumors progressed, David Rosenthal approached me and asked if I would like a part. Although it's not the part the rumors said I had, it was a really great script and so I agreed. So pretty much like that, it was done.
Onto upcoming projects, I have two upcoming films in the works for next year. 'Walks' is an independent film that has been in the works for a while now. We have the cast set up and have quite a bit filmed already. Due to the fact that it's an independent film, we're all kind of filming it around filming our other separate projects. So half is filmed, the other half is put on hold until everyone can meet back together in late November, early December. So definitely so excited about being back together with everyone!
Last but not least.. Clock Tower. This has been a movie I have been looking so forward to filming! I'm so ready to just get in there with the cast and get it done! Everyone is so excited about it, it was a great buzz surrounding it, and fans are already going crazy over it! It's based on a video game so we are really looking forward to kind of getting in there and putting a little bit of an edge to it, but also keep it the same as people are expecting. So all of what you expect will be in it with a little bit of a pin on it... If that makes any sense at all! I can't really give out much on Walks and Clock Tower, but as soon as I can, you will all be the first people I tell!
Okay while I'm thinking about Walks again, I would like to state that I am NOT going through some major break-up with my co-star Ryan Rottman. Those rumors are so incredibly wrong! We did have a little bit of a thing for each other a LONG time ago when we first met, but that is long over now! Also, I'm not dating any of my other co-stars either! They are all great and I love them, but I'm not dating any of them. I do have a boyfriend, with whom I love so much, but the guys in the rumors, well, THEY ARE JUST RUMORS! So, just setting the rumors straight.
One last thing.. Before I go, I MUST brag about it! Some of you know since I posted it on my twitter a few days ago. One of my closest friends gave birth to my god-daughter on Tuesday, Oct. 13th, and she is absolutely gorgeous!! Ahh, I could not imagine a more beautiful and amazing baby in my dreams! Her name is Chloe Lynne and she is absolutely breath-taking! I know everyone says that about their baby, nephew, niece, etc. But to me she is just beyonds words! It's so funny too because even though she was the baby, she was the only person in that room that wasn't balling like a baby! I cried for like 2 hours, and thinking back on it, I have no clue what I was crying about! But I can't wait for them to get her home safely so I can go spend some time with her! Okay I really have to shut up! Sorry guys!
Unfortunately I won't be taking any questions for this blog. It's long enough as it is, and now my eyes are tearing up again.. I know, I'm such a girl! Anyway, I better get off of here and make some lunch. I hope everyone enjoys this blog and I'll do another in a few days dedicated to all of your questions! Thanks for reading and leave me comments on what you think at the bottom!! Enjoy & have a great rest of the week and weekend!
