A Monster Hunter in the Old West? That's Somet'in!

Executives at Flip Brothers Studio found themselves in a pinch when they began filming their upcoming movie The Hunter, The Outlaws, & The Schoolteacher (sometimes confusing the title as Dead or Alive). Starring Hugh Jackman, the Australian action star showed up to set with a significant weight gain.

“After 17 years of hard labor" stated a studio rep, "Hugh says he can finally let himself go after retiring his portrayal as Wolverine. He’s happy to have the body of a mere mortal. Hugh groused it was pure torture staying in that kind of ridiculously perfect shape for so long, complaining it was far too much effort for what it’s worth to stay ripped all the time. Even his wife, well-known koala wig collector Deborra-Lee Furness, agree that they’ll both be happier now that Hugh’s spending far less time at the gym.”

Unable to get Jackman into shape so close to filming, the studio decided to wardrobe the actor from foot to toe in covering leather.

"You could still tell that he was heavy," continued the Flips representative, "but it worked. Hugh was hot during the shoot. Shooting in hot weather at a hot location didn't help. But Hugh came through like a trooper. We're quite happy with the result."

The Hunter, The Outlaws, & The Schoolteacher opens in March.

'Twas a Good Game. Could Have Gone Either Way.

Films continue to slip onto the release calendar. Currently in buzz vote, the Flips will be releasing Father Matthew. Featuring Chris Pine, the Star Trek actor plays a pastor who loses his parish's bankroll in an ill-conceived Hostess Ding Dongs resale investment. In order to regain the money, he signs up for a Matthew Perry impersonation contest at a local bar. Also starring Rachel McAdams as a rabbit's foot-collecting waitress interested in helping the pastor, the Flips are hoping that the chemistry between the two actors will boost ticket sales.

"Chris and Rachel had great chemistry" stated a studio representative. "We're betting that the movie will be a great success. Plus, who doesn't like a Matthew Perry impersonation contest? Chandler was the best character on Friends. Everyone knows that."

Father Matthew will open on this Friday.

Western Developments Announced

It was recently announced that Miracle Pictures producer Marlowe would be participating in a western anthology. Flip Brothers writer RitchieSteven was declared to be another author in the film. Unfortunately, RS has announced that the anthology has been cancelled. In order to get more movies on the release calendar, his portion titled Dead or Alive has been posted for a March release as a single presentation. The RS production is known to feature Hugh Jackman and a mention of vampires was given to this reporter.

"Vampires in the Wild West?" exclaimed a local movie goer. "That's intriguing. It won't be your typical western, that's for sure."

Marlowe has decided to put his Martin Freeman story on hold.

"I've got a hundred other things that I'm working on" the long-time HTG resident announced. "I work on one a little, work on another, then another and so forth. I really need to concentrate on one, but working part-time at Dinklage's Sprinkles is taking a lot of my time. I hope to get into one of my films soon and finish it."

Dead or Alive, a Flip Brothers Studio release of a RS Productions film, will be released in March.

And This. Martin Freeman in a Western?
