Visibility Matters: Entertaining the Future

25 October 2009 9:30 PM, PDT | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »

Visibility Matters is a monthly-ish column by AfterEllen.com Founder Sarah Warn about larger trends affecting lesbian/bi women in entertainment and the media.

Visibility Matters: Entertaining the Future

Lesbian/bi visibility in entertainment today is a mass of contradictions. It's both better and worse than it was when I started writing about it more than seven years ago.

There are more lesbian talk show hosts than ever before on network TV, but still very few fictional lesbian characters on broadcast or cable TV.

We now have well-developed, prominent lesbian characters and superheroes in comics — from Willow to Batwoman — but even the most minor lesbian characters are missing from, or "straightened out" in, most studio theatrical releases. Sometimes an entire lesbian subculture is de-gayed, as demonstrated in Whip It.

Female musicians are coming out left and right as gay or bisexual, as we saw when Brandi Carlile finally confirmed last week that she's a lesbian, »

Reitman “100% Attached” To Direct Ghostbusters 3

9 October 2009 9:55 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Our friends over at Bloody Disgusting are reporting that they have “confirmed, 100%, without a shadow of a doubt” that Ivan Reitman is attached to direct Ghostbusters 3. Now before all you “ghost heads” get excited about Reitman returning, there’s something else you should know, “he hasn’t decided whether or not he really wants to direct [it], yet.”

Reitman attached, but not committing to direct is not that surprising. Over the past 10 years, Reitman has only directed 2 films (Evolution & My Super Ex-Girlfriend), but since he’s one of the five members in the “infamous” Ghostbusters rights holders agreement (Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Ivan Reitman & Columbia Pictures (Sony) all have to sign off on anything Ghostbusters before it can happen), attaching himself to the project without deciding to direct could be more to prevent any delays in development due to the studio wanting a director attached to the project.

Sitges '09: My Sitges Story - Part 2

5 October 2009 10:05 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

Sunday, October 4

So I do my best to get to bed early the night before my first full day at Spain’s Sitges film festival (see first entry here), but after only five hours, I’m wide awake and unable to sleep another wink. Nonetheless, I will do my darnedest to persevere through at least three movies today.

First film on my line-up is the premiere of director Andrew Monument’s documentary Nightmares In Red, White & Blue: The Evolution Of The American Horror Film, which is screening at one of the festival’s secondary venues, the Prado, located in town. With none of the filmmakers on hand, including writer Joseph Maddrey, whose book served as the basis of the film, I’ve been asked to moderate the screening, as I am one of the interviewees in the production. Although it is 10 a.m. and no one in Sitges seems to hit the sack until 7 a. »

The 30th anniversary of Fangoria magazine will be honored at a special panel to be held at the 42nd edition of Spain’s prestigious Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival of Catalonia,  to be held October 1-12.

“For the last 30 years, Fangoria has been the cornerstone of the Sitges program’s diet,” says festival director Angel Sala, “the number-one source of information to feed the bowels of the beast. Fango has been the written witness of the horror scene around the world for over three decades. Sitges can only bow and pay due respect with a celebration for the fans.”

Fox Wants Ridley Scott to Direct Alien Prequel

9 June 2009 11:32 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

It was announced last month that another Alien movie was in the works, with initial word stating that it would be a reboot. However, not long after that announcement, word came that the next Alien would be a prequel and not a reboot as previously reported. On top of that, brothers Ridley (who directed the original Alien) and Tony Scott were to be attached as producers, with commercials director Carl Erik Rinsch at the helm.

However, even though the project still seems to be a-go, the big guns at 20th Century Fox are reportedly not happy with Ridley not directing the Alien prequel.

 

The Scott brothers may have given their blessing to Rinsch to direct the Alien prequel, but apparently Fox isn’t so keen on the idea. From Entertainment Weekly (via The Playlist) - from a report yet to be published online - comes the word that Fox isn »

Aykroyd Talks Ghostbusters 3

20 May 2009 10:34 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

A third Ghostbusters movie has been speculated about, rumored about, talked about for years. To hear Dan Aykroyd talk, rumor may finally becoming reality and ghosts may be getting busted once more come Christmas.

Whether it be truth from the horse's mouth or just wishful thinking from a man very enthusiastic about the prospects of once again putting a nuclear-power proton pack on his back, Aykroyd spoke to the La Times Hero Complex about the status of Ghostbusters 3.

For starters, the film could be shooting as early as this winter. Also, original director Ivan Reitman won't be behind the camera. As Aykroyd puts it, Reitman is too busy as a "super producer" to direct the film. Considering Reitman's last three outings behind the camera were My Super Ex-Girlfriend, Evolution, and Six Days, Seven Nights, him not directing might be for the best. Aykroyd is pushing for original Ghostbuster Harold Ramis to direct. »

Ask the Flying Monkey (January 08, 2009)

7 January 2009 9:09 PM, PST | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »

Have a question about gay male entertainment? Ask the Monkey!

Q: In early November it was announced that Stan Lee would be bringing Perry Moore's novel Hero to Showtime as a series. Do you know if the project is still moving forward or has it hit a stumbling block? – Matt, Jackson, Ms

Perry Moore

Photo credit Astrid Stawiarz/Getty Images

A: It’s definitely on, but it’s still very early in the process. “As part of our Showtime deal, we were sworn to secrecy,” Perry tells the Flying Monkey. “We were dying – it was hard to keep the news inside!”

Perry did bring Stan Lee onto the Glbt panel at the San Diego ComicCon as a “surprise guest,” but all they were able to say is that they’d worked out a “partnership” — which resulted in much speculation that that might mean a movie or a graphic novel. »
