"Mini-Butchers" in College

By Goliathus

Entertainment media like video games and movies always influence the society in a lot of ways. One of the "hot" upcoming movie is the third part of The Butcher trilogy, The Butcher Cuts Loose, put eyepatch, regularly wore by the protagonist The Butcher, up on the fashion map and on occasion, people just love to put an eyepatch on their face.

Today, the entire class of Degree of Art of Miami Dade College all has an eyepatch on their right eyes, causing quite a spectacular sight in the school ground. Plenty of the college lecturers are shocked at their first gaze upon the class.

"I don't know, it's just feel weird when everyone is wearing an eyepatch. It's actually very uncomfortable at first but after I know that they are not doing anything bad, I am fine with that." says Robert, one of the class lecturers.

"I thought they are just doing it for fun, you know, they did a spec day and a scarf day before so I am actually used to it. Never know it's about The Butcher though, I am a Butcher fan too and I might wear one myself if I know about their plan, you know, be the representative on the lecturer's side." says Samuel, another of the class lecturers.

There are also a few from the other programmes that participate in this eyepatch-wearing event, most of them heard the event from their friends.

"We decided to spread it verbally instead of the internet. It's boring if there's too many wearing eyepatch today, we want to keep it under a certain amount, to stand out in the crowd." says Johnny, one of the idea planners.

There are plenty of eyepatch wearers but not everyone think it is cool. A few of them are actually laughing stock of their classmates.

"Meh, it's sad that I am the only one in my class that likes The Butcher. It's just not fun and they are making one-eyed jokes to me whenever there's an opinion to do so. I guess it really takes balls to be special." says Derek.

"My friends thought I had a terrible case of pink eye, my mother almost slaps me this morning thinking that I went to strip club yesterday. Not really a very fun experience." says John.

Overall though, this activity does spark up a fair bit of interest in the school ground and most seem to enjoy it. It has a fair share of attention in the "twittersphere" and you can definitely find a whole bunch of pictures on Flickr.

"It's great that they added She-Butcher into the movie, now even girls can wear the eyepatches proudly."

"This is Miami, man, if we don't support Dwayne Johnson, who else would?"

"It's really fun to see the world with one eye. It's fun to attract so much attention in the school ground really, although I am pretty sure their stare on me are not really the good kind, more of 'dude, he's weird' kind I think."

The Butcher Cuts Loose is in theater February 15, 2013.

Frontier Goes Rogue

By Quantum

Rogue Net and KillerCroc Productions have struck a new deal to bring KillerCroc's latest pitch, Frontier, to HTG's small screens. The show, the TV debut for KillerCroc (Terror Shark), comes after weeks of negotiations between the network and production house. Frontier is being described as Jurassic Park meets Gears of War (this project was even rumored to be a Jurassic Park offshoot in its early days of development) and centers on former soldier David Hill, now a paleontologist, who is recruited to explore fossils out on a mysterious tropical island (think Easter Island) and finds himself finding much more then he bargained for. The skills he learns from the war allow for him to face the obstacles he finds on the island and prevent an onslaught of mayhem that could bring the world to its knees.

"When I received the script for the pilot, I was in awe of the action. KillerCroc really delivers in that department and I'm happy to say that it's an interesting blend of the action, sci-fi, and thriller genres" said Quantum, Rogue Net's owner and CEO. "I'm very happy to be able to work with Rogue Net," KillerCroc commented "I'm very excited to start work on this show. We've got an awesome cast lined up and some very fresh takes on the dino genre."

So, who's in the cast that KillerCroc alluded too? Well, as per usual, since the pilot is now in production we can disclose who has been cast in this new series, which has received a 3 episode order for the new session.

Playing the lead, David Hill, is Tahmoh Penikett (Terror Shark) -- the conflicted paleontologist who shows signs of still having PTSD even though he's been out of war zones for years. He's the driving force behind the series and he is the main character. Before, Tahomh was cast -- rumor had it that Gabriel Macht (Bad Hare), Alexander Skarsgard (Horror City), and Jon Bernthal (Reunion) were in the running for the role. It is suspected that the working relationship KillerCroc and Tahomh developed on Terror Shark led to his casting.

Playing the female lead on the show is Naomie Harris (The Wood: Remember Those Times) in her HTG: TV debut. She's said to play Tracy -- a mysterious woman working for the US government that helps recruit David to the island and who harbors her own desires. She's a liasion for David and his team. And a potential love interest for him.

Lance Henricksen (Splatter) is making his HTG:TV regular debut after guesting on such shows as Nowhere, Wanted, and Desperate Screenwriters. He's playing Ben -- the man who discovered the fossils and got David and his team to the island. He's a gameskeeper, sort to speak, and he's willing to do almost anything to get what he wants. Very mysterious -- and very dangerous.

Niall Matter (HTG debut), Lucas Neff (Worms), and Grace Park (HTG debut) round out the cast as members of David's team.

Expect Frontier to debut sometime during Session 14. And stay tuned for more updates regarding Rogue Net as the new session draws near.

Kunis Heats Up Screen in Biker Mice Movie (From Quantum)

Did you really think Jessica Chastin was the hottest woman on the planet? Well, you thought wrong! As Biker Mice From Mars gears up for release, it has been revealed in a new poll that its female lead, the ultra talented and beautiful Mila Kunis, has topped a new poll that says she is the hottest woman on the planet! And it could not have come at a perfect time as Biker Mice From Mars, an adaptation of the classic cartoon series, is set to be released this Friday. "Perfect timing," said producer MadShangi, who is eagerly anticipating the release of his first non-Butcher film at HTG. "She's goregous and we all know that."

Though LHF chief Quantum would not say anything, he did nod accordingly after that comment was made. It is just perfect timing the cast and crew kept saying at a panel promoting the film.

Mila Kunis plays a human character who encounters the Biker Mice and teams up with them against a villianous villain. "I'm not going to give anything away, but this could be The Dark Knight of cartoon-to-live-action films. It's going to be excellent-o" said lead Dwayne Johnson. Mila Kunis has been on a starring bend as of lately.

After landing the female lead in Snobs, the hit TV show from CzarTim, she followed that star making turn with a lead role in "The Dick Next Door," as well as roles in Heartfelt, Rosemary, and Hollywood Swan Song. Mila joins a long line of beautiful leading ladies who have won this award. They include Jessica Chastin and Vivica A. Fox, amongst others.

The Hottest Woman Alive has been Named! (By The Pit)

She has had a very busy 2012 with five movies already released and a sixth coming next Friday, September 28th. The Mid-2012 Hottest Woman Alive is none other than Jessica Chastain. She appeared out of nowhere and headlined Still Life for AmyLand Studios and acclaimed director Terrence Malick, then proceeded to appear in the top four cast in three more films, Frosty the Snowman, Dead Island, and Let’s Get Lost. She also had a supporting role in Reunion.

I can’t think of another actress who has appeared out of what seems like thin air and has battled more popular veteran actresses for sort after roles. In addition to her impressive 2012 slate of movies, she has already earned a Friendly Status with AmyLand Studios and has worked her TS up to an impressive 4.932.

Next Friday she is the leading actress in The Hook, where she takes on the villainous role of Grace Swanson, the cunning CEO of SWANSON CO. She causes a lot of trouble and just might be the person who brings the title character to life. The setting might be a bit familiar to fans of the Flip Brother’s DC Comics universe. The movie is a prequel that takes place in Gotham City. The whole story happens before Bruce Wayne ever puts on the cowl and becomes the Dark Knight. While young Mister Wayne was missing and presumed to be dead, SWANSON CO took over many of the businesses WAYNE ENTERPRISES ran. This makes Grace Swanson a very powerful woman, and Chastain enjoyed the power “You don’t see very strong roles like this for actresses,” she told us, “[Grace] is stronger than all of the guys in the movie and without having to throw a punch she proves just how strong she is.”

And strong equals hotness, as far as What’s Happening in HTG Town is concerned! Jessica Chastain follows a long tradition of Hottest Woman Alive winners, including Vivica A. Fox, who took home the honor in 2009. Flip Brothers Studio releases The Hook worldwide on September 28th, 2012.

July is Heating Up the HTG Theaters! (By Brianc2008)

Disclosure: I did the website for The Damned Are United.

With a whopping 13 movies coming to theaters this month, HTG producers are keeping their fingers crossed that they have the next huge hit on their hands. Let's check out each of these film:

July 6

Toy Story: World Tour is the latest animation film from AmyLand Studios and unbb24. It is about the adventures of the toys as they travel, well, across the world sometime between films 2 and 3 in the Toy Story series. The film stars Wallace Shawn, Tony Shalhoub, Tom Hanks, and Joan Cusack. Brad Bird is the director.

Nothing Left to Lose comes out from 21st Century Cat Pictures and is being produced by the prolific Kaitlynn. It has to do with the dramatic trials that an all girl band goes through when its secrets come out in the open. This drama stars Rutina Wesley, Felicia Day, Yaya Decosta, and Sarah Polley. It is directed by Ryan Murphy.

July 13

The Method is produced by Dark Horse. This is the follow up to his interesting debut as Lake Hope Films and Ship of Fooles Film Studio co-release it. Apparently recovered from the archives is an Elia Kazan film starring Montgomery Clift, Marlon Brando, and James Dean as three actors who meet at a party and have revelations about their careers and future.

Scream 6 is Pedro's last film in the Scream series. In this horror film, they revisit the community of Ocean View and find someone has taken the persona of Ghostface and is killing its residents. It stars Kristen Connolly, Elle Fanning, Jennifer Carpenter, and James Franco. It is released by AmyLand Studios and directed by Patrick Lussier.

Dance of the Vampires is JohnLennono's debut film which is being released by Wonder Inc. The rock musical is based on Roman Polanski's Fearless Vampire Killers and is scored by Jim Steinman, the guy behind Total Eclipse of the Heart and I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That). It stars Daniel Radcliffe, Billy Crystal, Carol Kane, and Emmy Rossum. Roman Polanski is directing this one.

July 20

The Damned are United has been described by Toran as an R-rated Star Wars. The Lake Hope Films release is about a band of humans who travel through a futuristic wasteland to assassinate a selfish king. If they don't succeed, aliens will destroy mankind. It stars Chris Hemsworth, Christoph Waltz, Bruce Campbell and Vin Diesel and is directed by Guillermo Del Toro.

Serial Killing for Dummies 4 is Pedro's latest in the horror series. It stars Michael Rady as serial killer Kevin Harkan. He's assisted by Sarah Jessica Parker, Spencer Locke, and AmyLand favorite Parker Posey.

Angry Birds: Revenge of the King is Dartcher's sequel to the popular animated film about the addictive video game. 21st Century Cat is releasing this film which is promising that the pigs are out for revenge on the birds. Presumably this will star Shia LaBeouf, Christian Bale, and Jane Lynch, among others.

One Week is an Independent Release by Bennyman. The drama concerns couple Aubrey Plaza and Jesse Eisenberg who go home to his parent's home for the weekend where past mistakes and present secrets could lead to a stormy future. It co-stars Cirian Hinds and Kathy Bates with Noah Baumbach directing.

July 27

Duke Nukem is an action film based on the video game series. Toran is releasing this under his I'm An Astronaut Films studio. Presumably, Duke will save the world, down some brews, and get the girls like he does in the game.

Unity is an arthouse drama about Unity Milford, a British society woman who ends up in the inner circles of Adolf Hitler. Catalyst Studios is releasing this Random FX Productions film that stars Carey Mulligan, Dominic West, Liam Neeson, and Michael Fassbinder.

All Fall Down is an AmyLand Studio release of Dark Horse's film. The crime story stars Christian Bale, Rachel McAdams, Joaquin Phoenix, and Michelle Williams and is being directed by Michael Mann.

The Apartment is, I'm guessing, a stoner comedy starring Sterling Knight and Liam Hemsworth as two guys who find a great apartment, only to discover that there's a catch. I do know that Lucian is behind this one and that it is being released by Ship of Fooles Films.

Former Mayor Expecting

It's official. Former mayor of HTG Hollywood, Megan Fox, is pregnant.  A source close to the actress and her husband, Brian Austi Green, confirmed the news to Happening this afternnon. Speculation that Fox is expecting has swirled for several weeks. We’ve bee told she’s due at the end of the summer.

Green already has a 10-year-old son with ex-wife and hottie Vanessa Marcil. He and Fox wed in Hawaii in 2010.

The question remains, however... Didn't Fox resign as city head because of a pregnancy last year? The actress was sporting a rather large belly bump. What became of that child? Was it sold to Nike to appear in a number of tennis shoe ads? Does it have a part-time job at Flip Brothers Pizza?

Only Fox can tell us for sure, and she ain't telling.

Business Mogul Salutes Pedro and Pet

Donald Trump is a well-known fan of Baseball Mogul Productions. He's especially proud of what happened to an overly eager reporter who tried to kiss BMP head Pedro last week at a red carpet event. When the newsman got too close to HTG Hollywood's most prolific writer, Pedro's dog Amy leaped to action and bit the would-be kisser.

"I wish other producers would bring their dogs to events!" declared Trump. "Not just dogs, but bears and lions. Whatever. Pushy reporters would get theirs!'

Pedro's newest film, Drugged, opens this Friday.
