Hollywood celebrities record audio dramatization of New Testament

Friday, October 29th, 2010

With the support of a Vatican imprimatur, a celebrity voiced audio production of the New Testament is set to be released this week.

The audio series, featuring celebrities such as Neil McDonough, Julia Ormand and Kristen Bell, was produced by New York Times bestselling author and broadcast journalist for EWTN, Raymond Arroyo.

Available on November 1, the 18-CD, 22-hour series is called Truth & Life Dramatized Audio Bible New Testament, with contributions from over 70 actors.

“They’re not just reading,” Arroyo explained, “these actors are performing, sharing these stories in the same way they were originally communicated – passed from person to person as part of an oral tradition.”

“The stories come alive (think radio drama style with sound effects and original music), propelling us right into history, the way it might have happened,” he added.

Arroyo noted that reading “or listening to Scripture being read is often a confusing, dull experience.”

“But performed like this,” he said, “you are thrown into the middle of the action. The Bible is suddenly not only understandable, but arresting and compelling.”

Two “Burlesque” TV Spots

Thursday, October 28th, 2010

Sony Pictures just released two more movie trailers for the upcoming film “Burslesque” by director Steven Antin and starring Kristen Bell (Gossip Girl, Get Him to the Greek), Cam Gigandet (Twilight, Making Change), Stanley Tucci (Captain America: The First Avenger), Christina Aguilera and Alan Cumming.

Synopsis: The Burlesque Lounge has its best days behind it. Tess, a retired dancer and owner of the venue, struggles to keep the aging theater alive, facing all kinds of financial and artistic challenges. With the Lounge’s troupe members becoming increasingly distracted by personal problems and a threat coming from a wealthy businessman’s quest to buy the spot from Tess, the good fortune seems to have abandoned the club altogether. Meanwhile, the life of Ali, a small-town girl from Iowa, is about to change dramatically. Hired by Tess as a waitress at the Lounge, Ali escapes a hollow past and quickly falls in love with the art of burlesque. Backed by newfound friends amongst the theater’s crew, she manages to fulfill her dreams of being on stage herself. Things take a dramatic turn though when Ali’s big voice makes her become the main attraction of the revue.

Will NBC’s ‘Munsters’ reboot scare up Kristen Bell?

Saturday, October 9th, 2010

Talk about putting the Vania before the Transyl: NBC and Pushing Daisies mastermind Bryan Fuller are in the very early stages of developing a reboot of the creepshow classic The Munsters, but there’s already a fervent fan movement under way to get Kristen Bell cast as Marilyn. And one of those fans is Fuller himself!

“Are you kidding me?” he enthuses of the Veronica Mars powerhouse. “Kristen would be perfect.”

Coincidentally, Fuller says the Munster clan’s “plain” cousin will be much more pivotal than she was in the ’60s original. “She is our eyes into the world,” he explains, “in the sense that we all can relate to our families exhibiting some level of monstrous behavior.” (Also playing a larger role: Eddie’s pet dragon, Spot.)

Fuller plans to fashion his Munsters update as a cross between Modern Family and True Blood. “This version has teeth and isn’t afraid to use them,” he says with a laugh. “For example, the story begins when young Eddie unexpectedly manifests as a werewolf on a scout camping trip and inadvertently eats two of his fellow scouts.” Sounds yummy!
