2015 Local actor joins Fantastic Four, The Choice, One Tree Hill, Under the Dome

First things first let’s give HUGE kudos to our local boy, Anthony Reynolds. He is hitting the big screen this weekend in Fantastic Four. He was fortunate to have been on set for 12 weeks in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, playing opposite Tim Blake Nelson and the Four. He plays a Civilian Military Official. So give him a huge round of applause when you see him on the screen this weekend!

As Under the Dome officially wraps on season 3 and on the City of Wilmington, The Choice begins their reshoots. Benjamin Walker, Teresa Palmer and Maggie Grace have returned to Wilmywood and will begin tomorrow morning. They will be shooting in multiple places around town including EUE/Screen Gems. There will only be one full shoot day.

Oh and in case you wanted to know, our Domies head to Ideal Cement today and will finish the season at EUE/Screen Gems.

Today and tomorrow our One Tree Hill gang home home. The One Tree Hill Convention is this weekend at the Wilmington Convention Center. Please welcome Chad Michael Murray, Bethany Joy Lenz, Hilary Burton, Barry Corbin, Craig Sheffer, and Paul Johansson.

AND THE WINNER OF THE ONE TREE HILL FAN PRIZE PACK IS…

Also in attendance will be Lee Norris, you know him as Mouth. I still love him as Minkus (Boy Meets World). He will be my special guest on the Sunny Morning Show tomorrow in the 9 o’clock hour on Sunny 104.5. Feel free to call in with your questions and comments. Sunny 104.5 Studio Line: 910-790-1045 or Tweet me your questions and comments: @WilmywoodNC

Since it’s Thursday, I thought I would do a throwback and break out some photos from my fun times on One Tree Hill. I only got to do 4 episodes, but I loved every moment. Now, can you name these episodes? Pictured with me are some awesome peeps! SFX Make Up Artist and all around bad ass Rick Pour and the incredible stuntwomen Tina Wanner and Haley Nott.

THE WILMYWOOD DAILY – 10/13/2014 Day One for The Choice, Sleepy Hollow, More Protest Coverage

Ahhhhh!!! It’s day one for our 2nd Nicholas Sparks flick, The Choice! They are filming at Dockside today. No Tom Welling on set today, but you can probably spot the handsome Benjamin Walker. Also Maggie Grace and our local boy, Jesse Boyd! Jesse got a nice fat role, playing the character Matt. He lives in LA now, but he was born and bred in good ol’ Whiteville! Congrats buddy!

You might have seen Jesse in three episodes of the CW show The Originals playing Cary, Klaus’ werewolf relative.

Oh and speaking of which, our local boy, Scott Parks,who has already been on The Vampire Diaries, has a small part on The Originals tonight. Way to go Scott! We love ya! Scott has also been on Homeland and Drop Dead Diva. I LOVE how much talent we have in this town!

Sleepy Hollow is at the sound stages today, but they head back to Water St. tomorrow, apparently dodging plummeting hail. Nice! Of course it is another Sleepy Monday and here’s what we can expect tonight…

Secrets & Lies starts off in Castle Hayne today, then I believe they head over to the Battleship. That should be fun!

Last week, we covered and attended two protests here in Wilmywood.

The first protest was for Governor Pat McCrory, as he was a keynote speaker during the Energy Summit. The second protest was right outside WECT for the Hagan/Tillis debate. We have a little more detailed conversation than the rest of the media (Because we can) . Charles Rourk was on the scene. A lot of you got some good face time 🙂 Check it out below!

The feature film will be released on VOD, EST, DVD and other TV platforms on October 10th, almost exactly one year later after it’s original release date. The movie stars Rufus Sewell, Alycia Debnam Carey, Adelaide Kane, Leah Pipes, Thomas McDonell and “Dexter” fav Jennifer Carpenter.

The Wilmywood shot indie flick Butchered is back! Producer Shaun O’Rourke made the announcement yesterday. The film was originally released in 2010 on DVD and digital streaming on Netflix by Anthem Digital.

Now Echo Bridge Entertainment has re-issued Butchered for the third time in the “15 Horror Movies” box set just in time for Halloween 2014!

“Butchered is one of the only indie features that has been released three times in the history of NC Film,” O’Rourke said. “It might be the only one to have that kind of success. It’s pretty amazing. It’s the little movie that could.”

You can this box set for $9.96 at Walmarts nationwide.

Rich posted this on my wall yesterday! Good find! Wilmington and the film industry get a little love on the first eight minutes of this podcast from Orlando Jones!… LISTEN NOW!

Stephen Collins who most know from the television show 7th Heaven, and many here know him as Dr. Gene Porter from Revolution has been accused of sexually

abusing three underage girls. According to CNN’s NewDay, in the divorce documents filed by his estranged second wife, Faye Grant, Collins admitted to her that he molested them more than a decade earlier. Two of the girls lived in New York, one in Los Angeles, according to the divorce papers. Police in New York are aware of child molestation allegations by a former relative against Collins, but due to the statute of limitations, he cannot face charges in that case. In New York, a person has five years from their 18th birthday to make an accusation of sexual abuse to authorities. That time has passed.
