Ok so I’m going to be busy at work this week, so posts might be a bit sparse, unless something huge breaks out. Anyways - here are some goodies to hold you over!
First up - thanks to Kate for skimming through a magazine that I would’ve never looked at - This month’s Nylon Magazine (on sale now in the ladies fashion mag area in Borders) has a section of Young stars to look out for and Thomas Dekker was interviewed and part of the group! The Film in question that Thomas wrote and directed that is mentioned in the article is called WHORE. You can read a bit more on it HERE on IMBD. Gee I wonder (not!) how he was able to get Megan Fox to star in the film

Thomas Dekker’s life would probably be much easier if he just relied on his teen-dream looks, but the 20-year old star of Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles says he wants more than a career as an empty-headed cover boy. “there’s the frustration of knoing that the whole world thinks I’m another Zac Efron,” Dekker ays. “I respect actors like that, who can be so perfect, but it’s a full-time job, and I don’t want to pretend I’m some ideal celebrity because that doesn’t exist.”
Dekker, who made his name as Claire Bennet’s boy next door Zach on HEROES, also has the May release of an album, Psyanotic, that he “solely composed, wrote, mixed, and mastered,” to distract him from the perils of Hollywood and is still working on the third, as-yet untitled, film he’s written and directed. He calls it a “gritty look at the underworld of young Hollywood,” and it stars Megan Fox, Rumer, Willis, and Shiloh Fernandez (Willis and Fenandez are also his co-stars in From Within, which will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival.) As if all this weren’t enough, Dekker is also currently filming My Sister’s Keeper, which is based on teh bestselling novel of the same name by Jodi Picoult, and is being directed by Nick Cassavetes (and also stars Alec Baldwin and Cameron Diaz.)
Fortunately, Dekker has the benefit of an unconventional upbringing to ground him: “My father would take me up to the top of this mountain at dawn, and there were all these wolf packs. I’d try to match the sound of hte wolves, and now I sing sort of like a banshee, a kind of wild singing,” he says. “The way I grew up helps remind me that this is my job, but my personality doesn’t begin and end with this industry.”
