New interview & return date for Raising Hope

Posted by admin

If you missed it on Twitter, Garret did an interview for the Cracker Radio podcast, which you can listen to here (at the 18 min. mark):

He talks about Raising Hope, the babies, Terminator, and the four movies he has been working on over the summer, among other things. Summer movie #3 is still a mystery, but there are a couple of new tidbits in the interview that I don’t think he’s mentioned on Twitter. Alan Cumming being one of them.

And Raising Hope will be back on Tuesday, September 20. Here is the new Tuesday line-up:

Tuesday, Sept. 20
8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT GLEE (Season Premiere)
9:00-9:30 PM ET/PT NEW GIRL (Series Premiere)
9:30-10:00 PM ET/PT RAISING HOPE (Season Premiere)

Variety article & Amigo update

Posted by admin

garret dillahunt,raising hope,snip snipVariety has an article about Garret in the Road to the Emmys column. He is on the ballot for best supporting actor in a comedy (and also for best guest actor, for Burn Notice). There was another little article a few weeks ago that I forgot to link, here. A few snippets from Variety:

Dillahunt says he especially had a lot of fun in the show’s vasectomy episode.

“First and last time you’ll probably ever hear the words ‘fun’ and ‘vasectomy’ in the same sentence. Another high point was in ‘Everybody Flirts … Sometimes,” where he got to let his hair down, proverbially, and take his shirt off, literally.

The thesp won’t be lacking for exposure while “Raising Hope” is on hiatus. Continuing his pattern of being, as he says, “pigeonholed as the guy with no pigeon hole,” he appears in this year’s sci-fi/mystery pic “Looper” — with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis and Emily Blunt — and the thriller “Cogan’s Trade” with Brad Pitt. (…)

“I didn’t expect to be so challenged physically with this character (Burt),” he says. “With all the fight scenes and stunts I’ve done for past roles, I thought this would be easy. But I have been running, jumping, wrestling, lifting and spitting at alpacas. I’m knackered by the end of the week. And I love every minute of it.”

Raising Hope has been nominated for Outstanding Achievement in Comedy by the Television Crititcs Association. It’s up against Parks & Rec, Louie, Modern Family and Community. The winners will be known on August 6.

There is a new official site for Amigo at www.amigomoviephil.com with a bunch of new BTS photos, production stills and info. The film’s Facebook page has some great looking posters, too. The film opens in the Philippines on July 6.

Second part of the AssignmentX interview

garret dillahunt,oliver sherman,molly parkerThe second part of the interview that showed up on AssignmentX back in April is finally up. You can read the whole article here. It’s mostly about Terminator, with a few tidbits about Raising Hope and Oliver Sherman. Here is the part about TSCC season three:

AX: Did you know where Season Three might have gone if there had been a Season Three?
DILLAHUNT: You know, it changes always so much, but the last I’d been told was that we were going into that future world, because remember, we’d gone through time at the end, and John Henry was loose and I would be a player for the resistance in the future, which I was really looking forward to.

AX: So you were going to come down on the side of humans?
DILLAHUNT: I believe so, yes. In fact, Shirley’s character as well turned out to be for the good.

AX: It was left a little unclear where your two characters were in the future…
DILLAHUNT: Yes, that’s what would have been answered and that’s what they hoped for, because I think also Derek [Brian Austin Greene] could have been there. He’d been killed in one of the episodes.

AX: Do you have anything else you did that’s coming out?
DILLAHUNT: OLIVER SHERMAN is a film I’m very, very proud of. It opened in Canada [in February]. It’s me and Donal Logue and Molly Parker and it’s a beautiful movie. I’m really, really proud of it. We still haven’t found U.S. distribution yet, but that effort is just starting to step up, so hopefully it’ll be here as well.

Raising Hope finale airs tonight, Oliver Sherman gets a UK distributor

Posted by admin

No new previews, just a reminder that the Raising Hope season finale, “Don’t Vote for This Episode,” airs tonight at 9 pm on Fox.

Entertainment Weekly talked to Garret about the episode. Here is what he says:

garret dillahunt,lucas neff,raising hope“I think it’s the best episode of a good season,” says Garret Dillahunt, who plays Burt. “I think my favorite part of the episode is all the chance meetings or passings that happen [with] people that we don’t know that we’re heavily involved with in five years. I think that’s really cool.” His least favorite part? Well, the part that left him sitting opposite a real-life alpaca, covered in a spit-like goo, naturally.

“There are some things that are funny to watch but aren’t so funny to shoot. This was one of those,” he says laughing. “It made all these little noises, like [grunts, presumably like an alpaca would]. And we didn’t know if that was a satisfied sound or a dissatisfied sound.”

Meanwhile, Screen Daily reports that Oliver Sherman has found a distributor for the UK and Ireland:

Cinefile will release the first EoF title Oliver Sherman in the UK and Ireland, while the Galway Film Festival will screen the film as part of its official section.

Ryan Redford’s Sherman has already secured distribution in France and Hungary thanks to the EoF initiative.

The film will next be screened at the Seattle International Film Festival on Saturday, June 4. If you’re in the area, you can get the tickets at SIFF.net.
