Arnold Schwarzenegger The Last Stand: Worst box-office bomb in Schwarzenegger’s career? Arnold Schwarzenegger’s first movie-star vehicle since Jonathan Mostow’s Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines in 2003, the Lionsgate release The Last Stand opened in North America last Friday, January 18. Expectations weren’t high: Reviews have been mixed — The Last Stand has a 43% approval rating and a 5.3/10 average among Rotten Tomatoes‘ top critics — while pundits and distributor Lionsgate had been expecting a modest box-office debut somewhere in the low to mid-teens. Those, however, turned out to be much too optimistic. (Photo: Arnold Schwarzenegger The Last Stand.) The tale of a law-and-order U.S. border sheriff (Schwarzenegger) out to stop a drug lord (Eduardo Noriega) from reaching the lawless South (that’s Mexico), The Last Stand grossed $6.3m at 2,913 North American locations according to studio estimates found at Box Office Mojo. Once inflation is factored in, that is...

There's a lot of buzz about the script reading for the raucously funny The Hand Job on Sunday at the Rollins Theatre with Bill Hader, Colin Hanks, Jessica Alba and others. But earlier during the conference, Aff held another, quieter script reading on Friday in the stuffy little Maxmillian Room at the Driskill. What for? By Way of Helena, a twisty western revenge thriller as yet to be produced.
Earlier in the day, screenwriter Matt Cook participated in the Black List panel, as his screenplay for By Way of Helena was voted one of the best unproduced screenplays of 2009 on The Black List. Immediately following, Black List founder Franklin Leonard introduced Cook for a reading of his script. Helping Cook was an eclectic mix of well known and lesser known actors. The entire lineup at the front of the room, in order, was Cook, Jason Newman (Silas, Clem), Lauren Wolf (Maria), Richard Dillard (Saul,...

Director: Storme Wood Writer: Andie Redwine Starring: Andrew Sensenig, Austin Chittim, Dane Hurlburt, Heather Del Rio, Jim Aabear, Marina Seitsinger, Oliver Luke, Richard Dillard, Wendy Zavaleta Esther (Heather del Rio), a young Jesus-loving God-fearing Christian woman donning an over-sized frumpy and shapeless dress, takes a job at a health food store owned by Gabriel (Dane Seth Hurlburt), who is for all intents and purposes a left-wing Godless bohemian -- as they say, desperation makes strange bed-fellows. (“The point on the ideological spectrum where far-left bohemians and right-wing fundamentalists meet is a health food store.”) Esther also works as an assistant for David Sawyer (Andrew Sensenig) -- the local preacher for Warren F. Vanderbilt's Prophetic Watchman Ministries, a very prohibitive Christian sect -- and his family. When David’s son Phillip (Austin Chittim) returns home from Vanderbilt's Kingdom Bible College after being hand-picked by Vanderbilt to become a minister, Phillip and...
