Since there haven’t been any major updates this month, I figured this would be as good a time as any to post some old theatre pics. Hope everyone is enjoying the season.
The Sundance Film Festival has released the lineup for 2010. Winter’s Bone is one of the films that will be screened in the U.S. Dramatic Competition program.

Baryo went into pre-production in November. The team is already on location in the Philippines. They set up a blog, The Baryo Film Project, so that’s the place to look for updates. Filming doesn’t start till February.
The Hollywood Reporter had a brief announcement about Garret joining Keep Hope Alive the other day.
Garret Dillahunt has landed a co-starring role on Greg Garcia’s comedy pilot for Fox, “Keep Hope Alive.”
The show centers on Jimmy (Lucas Neff), a 25-year-old man raising an infant with the help of his quirky family after the mother of the baby, with whom he had a one-night stand, ends up on death row.
Dillahunt will play Jimmy’s dysfunctional father and boss, who is not thrilled to find himself a grandfather and worries that the baby might carry her mom’s homicidal gene.
Last week, they were looking for a couple of teens to play the young Garret and Martha Plimpton. [JaxObserver.com]
And finally, some footage from Water Pills has emerged on Justin Mitchell’s site. He was the director of photography on the film. You can see the clip here. Credit goes to Winona-Ryder.org for finding it.
OK, one more. Burn Notice will return a week earlier than originally announced, on Thursday, January 21 at 10/9c. This means that the season three finale will air some time in early March, as expected.
White Collar had its series premiere yesterday. Garret’s episode is still a month away, but if you were planning on tuning in earlier, this would be the time. The show is getting pretty good reviews, it is on every Friday at 10 and the pilot is available on USANetwork.com. For the TV schedule and everything else you need to know, go to USA’s site.
