‘On Broadway’ Now on iTunes!
As well as being available to buy on DVD via Amazon.com, On Broadway is now also available to rent or own via Apple's iTunes so if you prefer to download movies, here's your chance!
In other news, it appears that the DVD version is region free since Amazon states that, "this product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media." I shall get in touch with Amazon to confirm this; thus, screencaps may be available in the near future!
Dushku Developing Mapplethorpe Biopic
Eliza Dushku has more going on than just her much-talked-about starring role in television guru Joss Whedon's new upcoming series, Dollhouse.
The Bring It On beauty just told me she's co-producing a movie about the life of Robert Mapplethorpe, the late photographer who caused national headlines with his controversial homoerotic work.
"Literally this week after quite some time, we finalized the deal with the Mapplethorpe estate," Dushku told me at Gatorade's G-Gym at Sundance's Village at the Yard.
Dushku's brother, Nate, will star as Mapplethorpe, who died of AIDS in 1989 at age 42.
"Nate physically has an uncanny resemblance to Robert," Dushku said. "Some pictures are really eerie."

‘The Alphabet Killer’ LA Premiere
Apologies for not finding out sooner; Eliza -- who has a lead role and is co-producer -- introduced the Los Angeles theatrical showing of the Anchor Bay Entertainment thriller at the Laemmle's Monica 4-plex Theaters (1332 2nd Street) in Santa Monica yesterday (Nov. 14).
Dushku, along with writer/producer co-star Tom Malloy and producers Isen Robbins and Aimee Schoof, introduced the 10pm showing. Pending confirmation, they also participated in a Q&A with the audience after the screening.
Directed by Rob Schmidt, The Alphabet Killer is a psychological thriller loosely based on the serial murders that shocked the citizens of Rochester, New York in the early 1970s.
