Red Hour Films, Lauren Versel, Molly Hassell, Maria Teresa Arida and Lucky Monkey Pictures announced today that Marilu Henner, Zak Orth and Malcolm McDowell have joined the cast of writer/director Amy Heckerling’s new feature film VAMPS. Written and to be directed by Heckerling, VAMPS tells the modern day tale of two young beautiful female vampires (Alicia Silverstone, Krysten Ritter) living the good nightlife in New York until love enters the picture and each has to make a choice that will jeopardize her immortality. The film is currently shooting in Detroit, Michigan.
The actors join previously announced Alicia Silverstone, Krysten Ritter, Sigourney Weaver, Richard Lewis, Wallace Shawn, Justin Kirk, Dan Stevens, Todd Barry and Kristen Johnston.
Henner will portray Angela, a deathly ill woman who gets “awakened” to her former hot self. Orth will portray Renfield, a young nerdy friend of Stacy (Ritter) and Goody (Silverstone) who tries to be much more hardcore than he actually is, and McDowell will portray vampire Vlad Tepish, otherwise known as the infamous Vlad the Impaler, who enjoys wearing velvet jogging suits and knitting.
Henner is represented by Innovative Artists; Orth is represented by Rhonda Price at the Gersh Agency; McDowell is represented by Chris Roe at Chris Roe Management.
VAMPS is produced by Red Hour Films (“Tropic Thunder,” “Blades of Glory,” “Dodgeball”), Lucky Monkey Pictures Lauren Versel and Maria Teresa Arida (this summer’s breakout hit “City Island”) and Molly Hassell (Sundance Award Winning “Big River Man”). Executive Producers include Julie Kroll.
Heckerling shot to fame directing “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” for Universal followed by the box office hits “Look Who’s Talking,” “Look Who’s Talking Too” and “Clueless.”
Foreign sales are being handled by Lisa Wilson, President of Distribution, Parlay Films LLC, which is a GK Films affiliate. Alvernia Production is an investor and Alvernia’s Marek Gabryjelski and Anna Rozalaska are co-producers of “Vamps.” Alvernia Studios will be handling visual effects in post production.
Twentieth Century Fox and James Cameron recently announced that AVATAR: SPECIAL EDITION will be released in theaters August 27, in a limited engagement and exclusively in Digital 3D and IMAX 3D. The re-release will feature never-before-seen footage from Cameron’s epic adventure! Now, to drum up even more excitement for the big event, a new trailer for the re-released has been unleashed!
This version of Cameron’s history-making and groundbreaking epic will include more than eight minutes of new footage.
The Oscar® and Golden Globe® winning epic is the highest grossing film of all time, taking in over $2.7 billion in worldwide box office. It is also the top-selling Blu-ray disc of all time. Director James Cameron takes audiences to a spectacular world beyond imagination, where a reluctant hero embarks on a journey of redemption and discovery as he leads a heroic battle to save a civilization. AVATAR delivers a fully immersive cinematic experience of a new kind, where the revolutionary technology invented to make the film disappears into the emotion of the characters and the epic nature of the story.

This version of Cameron’s history-making and groundbreaking epic will include more than eight minutes of new footage. Since – and largely as of result of — AVATAR’s release last December, the number of available digital 3D screens has exploded, and moviegoers who missed experiencing the film in 3D will now have that opportunity.
Commented James Cameron: “Audiences repeatedly told me they wanted more of Pandora, and wished they could have stayed there longer. So we’re making that possible. AVATAR: SPECIAL EDITION will be exclusively in 3D, and will have eight minutes of never before seen footage, including new creatures and action scenes. Whether you already love the movie, or you’ve never seen it, with this Special Edition, you’ll be seeing it like never before.”
Commented Fox Filmed Entertainment chairmen and CEOs, Jim Gianopulos and Tom Rothman: “AVATAR: SPECIAL EDITION is especially gratifying, because not only has AVATAR become one of the most beloved films in history, but after its initial theatrical release, we have been inundated with requests to re-release the film in theaters in 3D. Equally important, we’re thrilled that Jim Cameron is able to give audiences even more of what they loved about AVATAR.”

ALMOST ALICE debuts today at #5 on The Billboard 200 album chart, selling over 58,000 units in its first week of release, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The album topped Billboard’s Digital Album and Soundtrack charts, the iTunes album chart, and also had Top 10 debuts in Mexico, Canada and Australia.
Released March 2, 2010 by Buena Vista Records, ALMOST ALICE (almostalicemusic.com) puts a musical mad hatter’s spin on Alice and her magical Wonderland. Inspired by Lewis Carroll’s beloved storybooks and director Tim Burton’s blockbuster “Alice in Wonderland,” ALMOST ALICE boasts an eclectic array of recording artists with original songs based on some of the most charismatic characters in literary history. Among the compilation’s highlights are “Alice” by Avril Lavigne (the film’s end credit track); the All-American Rejects’ acoustic-driven “The Poison;” and the Cure’s Robert Smith with a haunting update of “Very Good Advice,” a song from the original 1951 Disney animated feature, “Alice in Wonderland.”
ALMOST ALICE also features “In Transit” performed by blink-182′s Mark Hoppus and Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz; “Painting Flowers,” an epic guitar driven alternative rocker from All Time Low; the funky pop track “Follow Me Down” from 3OH!3 featuring Neon Hitch; and, from one Grace to another, a faithful rendition of Jefferson Airplane’s 1967 hit “White Rabbit,” performed by Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. The album is a companion to the film’s soundtrack, which features the score by composer Danny Elfman.
When Walt Disney Pictures and Buena Vista Records joined forces with Hot Topic and MySpace for the Feb. 19 ALICE IN WONDERLAND Ultimate Fan Event, an estimated 5,000 fans gathered at Hollywood & Highland Center while an additional 400,000 fans viewed the live online concert event. The concert featured ALMOST ALICE artists 3OH!3, Metro Station, Kerli and Never Shout Never. The event culminated with appearances by the director and cast of ALICE IN WONDERLAND.
Starring Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter and Mia Wasikowska as Alice, ALICE IN WONDERLAND is in theaters worldwide in Disney Digital 3D™ and IMAX® 3D.
