Met de release van Superhost op DVD heeft Sara nog een interview gehad voor de film.

While social media offers people the perfect opportunity to share their experiences with the world, their real lives aren’t always as ideal as they portray them to be online. That’s certainly the case for actress Sara Canning’s protagonist of Claire in the new horror thriller, ‘Superhost,’ as her relentless quest to continuously garner excellent feedback from her followers is just masking her true emotional struggles.

‘Superhost’ is now available on VOD, Digital HD, DVD and Blu-ray, courtesy of RLJE Films. The discs include several bonus features, including a director commentary, the featurettes ‘Behind-the-Scenes of ‘Superhost’ and ‘Shooting in a Pandemic,’ bloopers, ‘Superhost’ visual FX, behind-the-scenes photo gallery and ‘Scaredycats’ episodes 1 and 2.

Brandon Christensen (‘Z,’ ‘Still/Born’) wrote and directed ‘Superhost.’ The drama stars Sara Canning (‘9-1-1,’ ‘Nancy Drew’), Osric Chau (‘The Flash,’ ‘Nancy Drew’), Gracie Gillam (‘Z Nation,’ ‘Scream Queens’) and Barbara Crampton (Jakob’s Wife‘).

‘Superhost’ follows Claire and her boyfriend, Teddy (Chau), travel vloggers who run the titular channel, for which they stay in, and share their experiences about, vacation homes. Until recently, they had been successful at running the channel. But as they now face a dwindling subscriber count, they believe they find the perfect opportunity to create content that people will want to see – their interactions with Rebecca, the host of their most recent trip.

However, Claire and Teddy slowly they start to realize that something isn’t right with Rebecca. As the couple investigates their suspicions further, they unlock a horrifying truth. She doesn’t just want a great review, she wants something far worse.

Canning generously took the time recently to talk about starring in ‘Superhost.’ Among other things, the actress discussed that she was in part drawn to play Claire in the movie because she previously worked with Christensen on his previous horror thriller, ‘Z,’ and wanted to collaborate with him on building another complex, yet equally relatable, character. She also shared that she embraced having the opportunity to improvise and build the characters’ relationships with her co-stars, notably Chau, on set in one main location.

You play Claire in the new horror thriller, ‘Superhost.’ What was it about the character, as well as the overall script, that inspired you to take on the role?
I knew Brandon Christensen and (producer) Kurt Harder from working from working with them on the film ‘Z’ they made in 2018. So Brandon sent me a pretty early draft of ‘Superhost’ and said, “I’m thinking about filming this, and making this happen, soon. What do you think?” I thought it was great and would be really fun.

In terms of the character of Claire, I thought (playing her) would be an interesting challenge for me to deal with the online persona thing versus the reality of the difficulties of the relationship that she’s in, as well as trying to keep up the subscription mission that she’s on all the time. That would make me anxious all of the time, personally. (Canning laughs.)

So I knew these guys, and that it would be a really fun atmosphere on set. So I was in right from the get-to.

Paul Wesley en Julie Plec, beiden bekend van The Vampire Diaries, gaan weer samenwerken om voor Netflix een serie te maken met de werktitel Confessions. Het project is gebaseerd op het artikel The Confessions of a Drug-Addicted High Scool Teacher.

Paul Wesley speelde Stefan Salvatore in The Vampire Diaries, terwijl Julie Plec als showrunner fungeerde. Voor dit nieuwe project, met de werktitel Confessions, is de rolverdeling ongeveer hetzelfde. Wesley dient echter ook als uitvoerend producent en Plec gaat het verhaal schrijven.

Confessions op Netflix
De serie wordt omschreven als een passieproject van Wesley, en was blijkbaar een van de eerste dingen die in ontwikkeling is gegaan toen de acteur zijn productiebedrijf Citizen Media startte in 2016. Het project is echter nog maar in een vroege fase van ontwikkeling, waardoor we het voorlopig nog niet hoeven te verwachten.

Confessions is dus gebaseerd op het non-fictie artikel The Confessions of a Drug-Addicted High Scool Teacher van Jason Smith uit 2015. Het is hier te lezen.

Het is nog onduidelijk wie er verder bij het project betrokken zijn, en wanneer we eventuele eerste beelden kunnen verwachten. Een releasedatum is waarschijnlijk nog enkele jaren van ons verwijderd.

Kat is gecast in de de nieuwe film ‘Collide’, het is nog niet bekend wanneer de film uitkomt al zal dit wel alter dit jaar nog zijn.

Ryan Phillippe (Crash, Flags of Our Fathers), Kat Graham (Cut Throat City, How It Ends) and Jim Gaffigan (American Dreamer, Troop Zero) will topline Collide, a thriller from Vertical Entertainment, TPC and Robert Ogden Barnum, which recently wrapped production.

The film written and directed by Mukunda Michael Dewil (Retribution, Vehicle 19) is billed as is an edge-of-your-seat, noirish thriller where three interlocking stories hurl towards an explosive end. It follows an ensemble of characters whose paths intersect over the course of a single evening inside an L.A. restaurant.

David Cade (Lansky), Dylan Flashner (The Card Counter), Drea de Matteo (The Sopranos), Aisha Dee (The Bold Type), David James Elliot (Heart of Champions), and Paul Ben-Victor (Daredevil) round out Collide‘s cast. Barnum and Lucas Jarach produced the film, with Daniel Baur, Luke Daniels, David Gendron, Russell Geyser, Rich Goldberg, Peter Jarowey, Ali Jazayeri, Joel Michaely, Rick Sasner, Greg Thompson and Viviana Zarragoitia exec producing. Vertical plans to release it later this year.

Collide is the second film to be fully financed by Vertical and TPC following Spencer Squire’s Abandoned. Barnum also produced that horror pic, which will likewise be released later this year. In addition to Collide, the longstanding relationship between Vertical and Barnum has produced the theatrical and digitally-released films Body Brokers, Lansky, Drunk Parents and The Neighbor.

Matthew is voor de tweede keer vader geworden, zijn vrouw Kiley is op 27 januari bevallen van een dochter r Dorothy Lavender Davis. Het stel heeft al dochter Ripley van 21 maanden.

‘Legacies’ zou na de winterstop op 27 januari weer beginnen op de CW, echter heeft de zender besloten die uit te stellen tot later in februari. Wat hiervoor de reden is laat de zender niet weten.

Kaylee Bryant zal na de aflevering van vanavond niet meer te zien zijn in ‘Legacies’. De actrice heeft besloten de serie te verlaten om andere acteerkansen aan te kunnen pakken. Ze is dankbaart voor alle fans en makers van de serie Julie Plec en Brett Matthew wensen haar het allerbeste.

One of the Salvatore School’s most beloved students is putting Mystic Falls in her rearview.

The Dec. 16 episode of The CW’s Legacies marked Kaylee Bryant‘s final appearance as a series regular, TVLine has learned exclusively. Bryant has portrayed Josie Saltzman since the Vampire Diaries/Originals offshoot premiered in October 2018.

“As a fan of The Vampire Diaries universe myself, thank you to The CW and Warner Bros. TV for giving me this opportunity,” Bryant says in a statement obtained by TVLine. “I am so grateful to the fans and will love them always and forever for welcoming and accepting me into this world. Josie has helped so many beautiful humans feel comfortable in their sexuality, and I hope her legacy lives on so that one day everyone feels free to love whoever they want regardless of gender.”

But is this really the last we’ll see of Josie? That answer can be found (to an extent) in the statement we obtained from executive producers Julie Plec and Brett Matthews: “While it’s heartbreaking to say goodbye to such a beloved Super Squad member, we wish Kaylee happiness and success. We look forward to watching her career grow in the future, and our door at Legacies will always be open to her, because the world is simply a better place with Josie Saltzman in it.”

Legacies Kaylee BryantWhile Bryant will be sorely missed, Josie’s storyline has been heading in this direction for quite some time. She already tried distancing herself from the Salvatore School by enrolling at Mystic Falls High, temporarily moving in with her Uncle Damon and Aunt Elena. She eventually returned to the supernatural academy, but her latest stint has been a tumultuous one.

During last week’s Grey’s Anatomy-themed vision quest, Josie came to an important realization about her future: “I have the need to live up to this school that was literally created for me, and the pressure to save the school and my friends means I will never live a life of my own.”

Josie followed that up this week by purchasing a one-way bus ticket out of town. Josie believes that there’s still good in Hope, but she can’t help her as long as she stays in a toxic environment like the Salvatore School. Unfortunately, saying goodbye to Mystic Falls also meant saying goodbye to her girlfriend. “When I come back, we can see where you and I are,” Josie told Finch after their emotional final scene together.
