Sarah Conner Society has passed it’s 3 year anniversary. With our stars spreading out all over into Film and Television, I’m finding it near impossible to keep up with everyone. So I’m looking for new staff members who will be happy to hunt for news from our stars! I usually am on top of photos, but have fallen off of the boat looking for interviews, news, etc.
So if you’re interested, I’d prefer to have staff members who search for specific actors/actresses rather than blanket search for any TSCC stars.
To qualify you must be willing to spend some time each week hunting for news stories on the actors that you selected and post the news to the SCS blog and forum (the understanding being that there may not always be news to report, you’re not expected to post news that doesn’t exist.) Blogging experience preferred however, if you’re really excited and want to learn, I can teach you what you need to know.
See your favorite T-1001, Shirley Manson, on stage live tonight (May 5), via webcast. Garbage are performing at the KROQ Weenie Roast and all bands will be webcast here:
Shirley Manson has been very busy. Garbage are set to release their new album, Not Your Kind of People in a little over a week everywhere. Aside from tearing up the Western half of the US playing gigs and radio festivals, they’ve been busy doing photoshoots, interviews and promo. They recently began releasing a series of mini-films, where they briefly discuss the making of a song on the album. The mini-films are being debuted on various online music magazines and are accompanied by articles. The latest, for Control, was released earlier today.
Check out all three mini-films and their accompanying articles at the following sites:
Zenescope Entertainment has announced that actress Lena Headey, star of the immensely popular HBO television series GAME OF THRONES, will be joining the Grimm Fairy Tales Animated Series to voice the lead character, Sela Mathers. Lena’s extensive resume includes her role as Queen Gorgo in 300 and as Sarah Connor in TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES. This announcement comes on the heels of another talented actress, Briana Evigan (Step Up 2, Sorority Girls, The Devil’s Carnival), having joined onto the project last week.
The GRIMM FAIRY TALES Animated Series will be based on Zenescope Entertainment’s popular comic book series of the same name. What makes this situation unique is that Zenescope has teamed with Titmouse Animation Studio and Director Jon Schnepp (Metalocalypse, The Venture Bros.) to bypass the traditional film studio system by seeking funding for the animated series through popular website Kickstarter.com (http://kck.st/wjSM8D ). The project is live on Kickstarter now until May 1st, 2012 and has a pledge goal of $175,000.
“We set the goal of the animated series at 175K because we wanted to give our fans and those supporting the Kickstarter a high-quality product.” Explains Zenescope Marketing Manager Stephen Haberman “We’re hiring Titmouse, one of the premiere animation studios in the world, to handle the animation. We have Jon Shnepp directing and now with Lena and Briana joining the project, we’re able to take it to another level.”
“Crowd-funding can be a powerful tool. We’ve seen some really projects find funding through Kickstarter and it’s a game changer.” Said Zenescope’s Editor-in-Chief, Ralph Tedesco “It gives us a chance to make this series the way our fans want to see it be made. We’re about a third of the way there with funding and hopefully now with the all of the talent we’ve brought on board fans will see that this can be an amazing project to back.”

Jennifer Blanc-Biehn, Danielle Harris, Ryan Honey, and Denny Kirkwood make up the main cast of what is being described as a grindhouse picture.
