Mike Vogel
THE WILMYWOOD DAILY – 04/18/2014 Mike Vogel Goes Hallmark, Max Steel, The Longest Ride, Shannon Rippy and more.
Hippety-Hoppety damn good mornin’ to ya! Under the Dome is off today as it is Good Friday, and a good Friday it is indeed. However that doesn’t stop us from seeing stars, one in particular.
Our homie Domie Mike Vogel comes out of the Dome for the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie, In My Dreams this Sunday night on ABC at 9pm EST. (I know the video claims it’s on tonight, but it is on this Sunday) Nick (Mike Vogel) and Natalie (Katharine McPhee) are the perfect couple, only they have never actually met. After tossing coins in Haywood Fountain, the two start dreaming about each other. According to fountain mythology, they have exactly seven days to turn their dreams into a reality. Now doesn’t that sound as sweet as all get out! Don’t miss it!
Max Steel‘s Ben Winchell who plays the lead Max McGrath makes his way into town this weekend and his counterpart Ana Villafane will make it into town early next week! Yay! Producer Julia Pistor as well as writer Christopher Yost was here as well, they are headed out, but will be coming back shortly as things will start getting super fun soon enough!
Looks like Nicholas Sparks’ The Longest Ride has pushed their start date to mid June. I will keep you posted on any other details that come out.
It has been 13 days since anyone has seen our film friend 53-year-old Shannon Rippy Vannewkirk. Investigators with the Wilmington Police Department now believe there may be foul play surrounding Shannon’s disappearance. Apparently new information has come out that are turning the police’s minds towards the negative. They cannot say what that information is, but they are confident that foul play is at hand. At the vigil held last night on the steps of the federal building, the negative news that foul play is in the mix, it hit home for many. Thankfully in addition to the police on the case is the Cue Center for Missing Persons. There is no search team in the country better than the Cue Center. “Someone out there knows something and that’s why we have to spread the word. Someone may have seen something, someone may have heard something,” said Seidman to WECT.
WWAY, however, has the latest on the vigil from last night. READ NOW
Now if you live in a cave, I still think you saw this! I was quite pumped about my article that was published yesterday on EW.com All about Wilmington baby! So thanks for the shares and comments. Feel free to continue that behavior! Ha! READ IT NOW!
Earlier this week, we let you know that the Gregg Allman biopic Midnight Rider was planning to continue production. Once the news broke on the internet, a Facebook page called, “I REFUSE to work on Midnight Rider” was created.
Sarah Jones was killed on February 20, 2014 in Wayne County, GA while filming. Seven crew members were injured when a train collided with the set which called for the crew to be on a bridge. One member who was injured, Joyce Gilliard, is part of our Wilmywood Film Community. Help trend: #BoycottMidnightRider on Twitter.

THE WILMYWOOD DAILY – 03/24/2014 Max Steel, Under the Dome, Red Zone
Hey Hey and Happy Monday Wilmywood! Hope you had a great weekend! I was great to see so many of you at Jack Bender‘s Art Show. SEE PHOTOS NOW
So last week, I hinted at some really cool construction going on for MAX STEEL. Well, my sources are telling me Ideal Cement is gonna be the Max Steel Headquarters. It feels like TMNT all over again! And it looks like director Stewart Hendler is confirming the location.
I chatted via twitter with Ana Villafane over the weekend and she is pumped about playing Sydney. Ben Winchell, who will be playing Max McGrath is gonna have one hell of a wardrobe, one piece in particular.
Writer Christopher Yost was doin’ a little bragging last week, saying, “Know what else is ridiculously awesome? The suit for the Max Steel movie.” Okay, seriously, I am starting to geek out about this flick. Ahhhh! Let’s go into production already!
Under the Dome is headed to Southport today for a little church scene. A lot of cast member on set today including Dean Norris, Mike Vogel, Rachelle LeFevre, and Eddie Cahill to name a few.
And now we always walk about Film=Jobs, but more importantly we need to discuss what film does for a community. There are a ton of stories that you never hear, so I am gonna make sure to bring them all to light!
Jenny called The Sunny Morning Show on Sunny 104.5, and she told her story of how a television production (RED ZONE) has helped the Ashley High School Marching Band. READ STORY NOW
RED ZONE is back at Ashley High School today. I am so glad for the sake of the cast and crew today is not an overnight shoot! Good Gravy!

THE WILMYWOOD DAILY – 03/05/2014 Under the Dome, Secrets & Lies, Sarah Jones, Bill Cosby.
HUMP DAAAYYY!!! Good Morning Wilmywood!
Under the Dome is back on the sound stages today. Shooting multiple scenes means the stars are a buzz at Screen Gems. Our new Domies Eddie Cahill and Karla Crome join our original Chester’s Mill gang on set including Mike Vogel, Aisha Hinds, Rachelle LeFevre, Alex Koch, Dean Norris, Britt Robertson...well pretty much all of our favorites! WELCOME BACK!
Our new members Sherry Stringfield and Grace Victoria Cox will be heading to Wilmywood super soon. Welcome to the Chester’s Mill Family!
ABC’s Secrets and Lies is back in Porters Neck again today, look forward to more hotness, Ryan Phillippe is back on set. And speaking of which, the social butterfly that is producer Aaron Kaplan is back to tweeting shots from set…
Bill Cosby‘s “Far From Finished Tour” at Odell Williamson Auditorium is sold out for the 7pm show, BUT are now on sale for a 3:30pm matinee on April 6th! Tickets prices $67 & $77 (Plus applicable service fees and NC sales tax) GET TICKETS NOW. Still to this day, his comedy show Himself is my all time favorite. And I think so many who grew up in the 80s look to The Cosby Show for a little parenting school. So brilliant!
More articles are coming out about camera assistant, Sarah Jones. The Hollywood Reporter wrote a few articles, but a warning, some are absolutely heartbreaking.
1) Producers Neil Meron and Craig Zadan also found a way to help the Academy acknowledge Sarah Jones, the camera operator whose death has raised the issue of set safety, in the broadcast, which was greeted with an uptick in ratings. READ NOW
2) The parents of the young camera assistant killed in the train accident on the Georgia set of “Midnight Rider,” as well as an injured hairstylist who survived it, reveal harrowing and graphic new details. “I saw my life, my kids, my family, all of it before me,” says the hairstylist. “I was sure I was going to die.” READ NOW
3) Exclusive Interview With Parents of ‘Midnight Rider’ Victim Sarah Jones: Elizabeth, tells THR, “A dollar mark cannot be put on stealing a shot at the risk of someone’s life.” READ NOW
The folks at pledgetosarah.org are asking you to Take the Pledge! This is not about crews, or cast, or production, or us, or them,” it states. “It’s about everyone on a production. Be safe and be aware. No exceptions. Safety is the responsibility we accept every time we step on a set and it only works if we all have each other’s backs – because no one wants to have to explain to a friend’s loved one why they didn’t speak up.” TAKE THE PLEDGE NOW
