Was there any media coverage?

The media coverage beforehand basically just advertised the event, but there was an interview piece with Henry Winkler in one of the LA area publications. I can't remember which one now.

There are photos from the event on WireImage.com, and David is included. This was going to be included in my next announced site update, but I'm a little overwhelmed with other bs at the moment.

(By the way, the people who organized this were very nice folks. They actually took time to email the webmasters of various fan sites who plugged this event to thank them for doing so. You don't see that very often.)

Michael Stroka made an appearance in an episode of Wonder Woman in 1978. For anyone interested, I've posted a slideshow of screen grabs on my Dark Shadows Alumni site.

As long as we're on the subject of this film, I occasionally get emails to my web site about it. One person wanted to know whether Gordon Parks was responsible for taking the publicity stills himself. (I haven't the slightest clue, but I doubt it.) Usually, though, the questions are about what happened to the real-life cops upon which the film is based.

Robert Hantz, portrayed in the film by David Selby, was charged with possessing marijuana cigarettes while on vacation, I believe outside the country, and subsequently resigned his position with the NYPD in 1975. Greenberg and Hantz always maintained that they were the subject of various threats and conspiracies because of jealousy within the NYPD over their success and unorthodox methods and, obviously, because their conviction rate made them unpopular with some segments of the community.

David Greenberg, portrayed by Ron Leibman, went on to serve in the NY State Assembly. He was convicted in 1990 on federal conspiracy and fraud charges because of inflating loss claims following burglaries and a fire at a video distribution company he owned and sentenced to serve four years in prison. At the time, he intended to appeal the conviction, but I don't know what became of the appeal.

The real Greenberg and Hantz had cameos in the film and were involved in MGM's press events when the film was released. There are some stills, grabs, and additional stuff related to the film on my site.

I never saw a resemblance before, but with her upswept hairdo, Charlize was giving off an "Angelique vibe" tonight.

It was definitely the hairdo, but I thought the same thing. I really need to get out of the house more. 

Q: It's not a newel post. It's a chin rest, you ignorant gypsy.

David Selby is featured in the trailer for Unknown. Unfortunately, whoever created the Quicktime file must've thought the title of the film is Unheard because the volume is so low as to be inaudible for most folks.

I'm now hearing that this trailer is not really supposed to be online.    The production company had a trailer on their site, and this is the version that the Jim Caviezel fan site got hold of at some point and now has posted (with crappy sound), but the production company has since removed the trailer from their site. Apparently, the Weinstein Co., which holds the U.S. distribution rights to the film, is quite particular about posting trailers for their films on the web, and it's not supposed to be posted anywhere yet.

I thought the scenes leading up to the act in question were some of the best in the 1897 storyline.
[spoiler]I am always struck by the scene between Quentin and Barnabas in the secret room when Quentin comes to realize that Barnabas has a secret problem of his own.[/spoiler]
