The Expendables

Film Appearance0 Comments

In the action film, Willis makes a cameo appearance as Mr. Church, CIA leader of an expendable – i.e. older – group of mercenaries sent on a mission to assassinate an evil dictator who has made problems for the US for over twenty years.  Co-starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone, who also direct the film. On making a sequel:

I talked to Sly and he’s going for all the marbles this time, and he’s going to get everybody in this time. Even Stone Cold Steve Austin who took two bullets in the last film, he’s coming back, too. Hopefully, they’ll start shooting it while we’re young enough to survive.

Blessed and Cursed

Film Appearance0 Comments

In this independent film, Haddon plays Dwight Hawkins, a man who struggles to realize his God-given purpose. Compelled to help his father after his dreams are derailed, Dwight must choose between family obligation or pursuing his own dreams of singing gospel music. A new position as a Psalmist at the city’s largest church bring challenges as Dwight gets caught in a scheme orchestrated by the church’s Bishop.

It was miraculous to get Blessed & Cursed finished because we really got it done with no money. It exceeded our expectations to the point where Showtime was playing it all year long. In addition, the DVD was flying off the shelves everywhere, not just here in America but all through the U.K. and Africa where people are tapping into the culture of what we are doing with these films.

Inception

Film Appearance0 Comments

Gordon-Levitt stars in this big-budget science-fiction thriller film directed by Christopher Nolan. He plays the role of Arthur, the right hand man and partner of professional thief Dom Cobb played by actor Leonardo DiCaprio. While Cobb leads missions in stealing corporate secrets from the minds of executives as they sleep, it is Arthur’s job to apply his vision and make sure that the plans work without a hitch. The actor is joined by Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, Marion Cotillard, and Ken Watanabe. On his character:

He’s the organized one. I think Cobb is sort of like the artist and I consider Arthur sort of like the producer. He the one that’s saying, “Okay, you have your vision, I’m going to figure out how you can do you thing and make the nuts and bolts underneath it work.”

Despicable Me

Film Appearance0 Comments

In this animated comedy, Brand voices Dr. Nefario, a friendly and good-natured scientist who works with the main character, Gru, who is voiced by Steve Carell. He lives in an underground laboratory, in which he builds various gadgets and machines for Gru in his mission to steal the moon. The film also features the voices of Jason Segel, Miranda Cosgrove, and Julie Andrews.

Dr. Nefario in this movie is a mentor and also a sort of bumbling half-wit. You know they say, genius and madness are really close to each other – they’re not, are they – because I know some mad people and they’re idiots, and I think that Dr. Nefario is like an idiot. He’s sort of old, makes terrible mistakes, there are wonderful contraptions, some of which were needlessly manufactured on account of mishearing information.

Grown Ups

Starring with Kevin James, Chris Rock, and David Spade, Grown Ups is a comedy about five best friends who reunite for the Fourth of July weekend to meet each others’ families.

Me and Fred Wolf wrote the movie. The whole idea was about putting together old friends that get to hang out for a weekend. These guys are my old friends, so it made total sense. I’m glad they said yes to it
