Calendar Events / Announcements '11 I / David Selby to Introduce Joan Bennett Film

« on: March 10, 2011, 10:01:03 PM »

Unfortunately, I just found out about this event, so I doubt any of our cousins will make it, but I thought it would still be of interest to those who cannot attend. As part of the San Luis Obispo International Film Festival, David Selby will be introducing Man Hunt, a 1941 film noir piece directed by Fritz Lang and starring Walter Pidgeon and Joan Bennett. He'll be introducing the film because of his Dark Shadows connection with Joan Bennett. The screening takes place this evening at the Galaxy Theatres in Atascadero, CA.

Calendar Events / Announcements '11 I / Behind The Scenes Video of David Selby Filming The Social Network

« on: February 05, 2011, 04:36:23 AM »

As part of the pre-Oscar publicity push for The Social Network, a making-of featurette that's included on the DVD release is available for viewing on the IMDb web site. It's called How Did They Ever Make a Facebook Movie? Here's the link:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1285016/videogallery/content_type-Featurette?sort=6

I've not watched all of it, so I can't comment on whether he appears in any of the other portions, but he is definitely in the segment labeled "Part Four--The Lot," which shows the filming of the deposition scenes and discusses how Fincher shot hundreds of takes.

Spoiler alert: The shooting of the final scene is included in this segment. The portion with Selby begins around 16:07 and ends around 20:00.

As though David Selby isn't enough . . .

In the wake of last night's Golden Globe win by The Social Network for Best Motion Picture Drama (did you honestly think I'd let it pass without comment?

), the Friends of Greystone (1991 DS Collinwood) called attention today on their Facebook page to the fact that portions of the film were shot on location there.
