'Whitney,' 'Night' go in early stages Yahoo

Broadcast TV's new streaming trend is turning out to be a river. NBC is just about the latest network use a full-episode preview online prior to the on-air bow, joining up with Yahoo to provide sneak peeks from the latest payments of recent comedies "Up Through The Night" and "Whitney." Fox began the practice by having an early window on iTunes along with other digital platforms for "New Girl," which wound up validating the move with strong rankings because of its premiere. ABC and also the CW adopted suit concentrating on the same methods meant for "Revenge," "The Key Circle" and "Hart of Dixie." While partial previews of approaching TV fare happen to be commonplace recently, putting a whole episode online would be a line not entered in fear that digital sampling could cannibalize crucial rankings for that premiere. What "Girl" might have demonstrated is this is a risk worth running in search of improving word-of-mouth or at best subsequent broadcast tune-in. The 3rd episode of "Evening" and 2nd episode of "Whitney" is going to be on Yahoo on Tuesday morning, eventually in front of "Night's" Wednesday period of time and 2 days in front of "Whitney's" regular slot.

Study Shows Stage Fright is Common Among Working Actors

Study Shows Stage Fright is Common Among Working Actors By Andrew Salomon September 21, 2011 Gordon Goodman was once so confident a performer that he could fall asleep while waiting to sing. In fact, he did. Sitting in a chair onstage with the Phoenix Symphony, with a full house of 5,000 in front of him and nearly 200 musicians and singers behind him, he was so relaxed that he nodded off, waking only when his chin hit his chest.Goodman missed his first line, but no matter. "No one knew, because it was an original piece," he recalled recently. "So I just stood up very calmly and started." Afterward, he added, he got a standing ovation.Things changed when his larynx was damaged in an onstage collision during a performance of "Oklahoma!" Goodman recovered his voice but struggled to regain his swagger. He suffered from stage fright. In one particularly bad audition, he said, his performance resembled "the cartoon where the opera singer opens his mouth and just a squeak comes out."An actor and singer who lives in Los Angeles, Goodman is now doubly familiar with stage fright, or performance anxiety. He recently wrote a dissertation on the subject while earning a Ph.D. in psychology from Fielding Graduate University in Santa Barbara, Calif. His study, conducted in March and April, revealed that more than 80 percent of professional actors have suffered from stage fright at least once in their careers. He also contends that his study debunks "the widely held belief that stage fright is closely linked to age, experience, success, or fears of incompetence."Rather, Goodman writes, the condition is linked to how much control actors feel they have over a single "acting situation." Like the warning in a commercial for a mutual fund, past performance is no guarantee of future success. Basically, it comes down to confidence in the moment, something Goodman used to have in ample supply. "I was so cocky, I walked like a gorilla, like a gangster, and I knew I'd blow them away," he said. "Then I was in a severe accidentand it totally changed my life."Elite Majority Goodman writes that past performance-anxiety studies have focused on public speaking, test taking, sports, and music, "but less than a handfulhave focused on the performance domain that gave stage fright its name, acting." He added that his study could be the first that focuses on regularly working actors, or those whom he calls "elite."For his dissertation, which he successfully defended in July, Goodman surveyed 136 actors affiliated with either Musical Theatre Guild in Los Angeles or Sacramento Music Circus. Each actor had membership in at least one performers' union and, Goodman said, they had a wealth of experience. According to the study, 72 percent had toured nationally or internationally, 40 percent had performed on Broadway, 56 percent had at least one co-starring role on a TV show, and more than 30 percent had at least one co-starring role in a film.Of those surveyed, Goodman said, 84 percent reported experiencing stage fright at least once in their careers. He described the condition as freezing or choking and said it is usually represented by a performance's sudden collapse, rather than a gradual decline. Anxiety is particularly debilitating to actors, because fear of the future occurs in the same part of the brain where imagination lives, Goodman explained. He likened it to an overloaded computer: It will freeze if it has too many programs open while trying to process something complicated. "Imagination," he said, "is a limited space."Energy Crisis Rachel Bailit said her career almost crashed during the second performance of her one-woman show, "Sugar Happens," several years ago at the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute in Los Angeles. The first night had gone very well, and she assumed that her fortune would continue. Then she took the stage. "In a one-woman show, you're very in tune with the energy" of the audience, she said. "It was mortifying when I came out, the energy."Bailit got to the part in the show when she talked about her brother, who had died. "All of a sudden I really got stage fright," she said. "I couldn't figure it out, and I remember looking out, and everyone had a stunned look." She almost walked off the stage, a move that would have haunted her career, she said. One thing kept her onstage. "I was frozen," she said.More-positive thoughts quickly took hold, she said, and she remembered her training: Concentrate on what you're saying; get in the moment; connect with someone. She saw a friend in the audience and continued. Afterward, Bailit said, her publicist came up to her and said there was someone who wanted to see her: Al Pacino. Suddenly she understood the weird vibe. Her peers were nervous for her, and everyone wanted to see how Pacino was responding to the show.Bailit recalled her conversation with the Strasberg disciple: "I said, 'Do you remember when you were a struggling actor like this?' He said, 'Are you kidding? I'm still going through it.'"Enter Brooklyn Bailit had a lot of acting experience when she had her bout with stage fright. That's consistent with Goodman's study, which found that experience and success are no guard against the affliction. Actors such as Meryl Streep, Ian Holm, and Barbra Streisand also suffered from it after they had established their careers.Newcomers aren't immune either. JayAre Sarerro, a college student in North Carolina, wanted to act from a young age but sometimes froze at auditions. Performance anxiety "would make my speech slurred and shaky, as well as my body," he wrote in an email to Back Stage. In an interview, he said he took classes to get over it. They helped, but he required something more. "I developed another persona," he said. "It's not bipolar. You change and become someone else."He calls his persona Brooklyn, named for a place his parents would never take him when they visited NY. (Too dangerous, they said.) He recently performed in a musical, "Rock 'n' Roll Nightmare," that toured North Carolina, Florida, and Chicago."Brooklyn is very open," Sarerro said of his alter ego. "He's not afraid, not nervous at all. He's strong. He's definitely not how I am in everyday life."The Octopus Though this brand of anxiety was originally born on the stage, Goodman said actors have a much more difficult time in a small room with a handful of people sitting behind a folding table. That is, auditions are significantly more likely to engender stage fright than performancesby 19.2 percent, the report states."That kind of shoots down the theory that the more people in the audience, the more chance of stage fright," Goodman said. "It's all about who's in the audience."Goodman's study reaffirms what many professional actors have heard dozens of times and already know, at least in theory: Those with the most confidence are least likely to experience stage fright, and confidence depends upon control. To put theory into practice, Goodman said, actors can put their attention on managing their individual tasks (knowing their lines, showing up on time, and mitigating distraction). They should never try to manage the thoughts of those who are evaluating them. "The more the person concentrates on the end result," he said, "the worse they perform."After his accident, Goodman had a difficult time finding the freedom to not think, he said; he had to manage every moment just to get the sound out. He found his way through character roles and by doing other things: He lectures, writes and produces audio books, and is working as a media and entertainment psychologist. "People are happier when they're an octopus," he said. "It's important for an actor to have as many legs as they can."Goodman still acts. He recently played Mr. Brownlow in a production of "Oliver!" and about a year ago he booked a commercial for Jack in the Box. He plays a man on a video dating site who is equally unctuous and obtuse. The performance is hilarious, revolting, and convincingconvincing because the character and the actor possess an equal amount of swagger.

James Cameron to film Avatar sequels quicker

There are some famous equations out there. E=MC². The Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c². Now James Cameron has added a new one: more frames = better 3D.Higher frame rates seem to be the way Hollywood is going and Peter Jackson's The Hobbit is currently being shot at 48 frames per second (fps) rather than the standard 24fps most movies use today.However, JamCam says he aims to shoot the Avatar sequels at 60fps to create top notch 3D."I believe it makes for better 3D," Cameron told The Hollywood Reporter."There were lots of arguments for why 48fps and why 60fps. My feeling is if it is a software upgrade [for digital cinema projectors], do both. It doesn't change anything at the projector; you don't have to change the lamp house or the lenses. If you are uploading software you can upload it for 48 and 60 and let the filmmakers decide."

New Trailer for 'Wuthering Heights' Was Not Directed By Terrence Malick (VIDEO)

The first trailer for the new adaptation of the romance classic 'Wuthering Heights' is such an arty affair, that you'd swear it was directed by hat connoisseur Terrence Malick. (It's not: Andrea Arnold, whose previous films include 'Fish Tank' and the Oscar-winning short 'Wasp,' handles 'Wuthering Heights.') Still, the ample shots of insects aren't the only difference between this version of Emily Bronte's famed novel and past screen incarnations: this is the first to feature a black actor playing the brooding Heathcliff -- a role that's been played by Laurence Olivier, Ralph Fiennes and Tom Hardy. James Howson stars as the adult Heathcliff in his first major film role, with Kaya Scodelario -- whose credits include 'Skins,' 'Moon' and 'Clash of the Titans' -- as Heathcliff's love, Cathy. The picture played both the Venice Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival, where it was picked up by Oscilloscope for an eventual U.S. release. Compare the new trailer to one for the classic 1939 adaptation, starring Olivier and Merle Oberon: And to the 1992 version starring Ralph Fiennes and Juliet Binoche: [via Slashfilm]

Source Code Could Download For Your Telly

New US drama plannedIf you viewed sci-fi thriller Source Code this season and thought it appeared like the likes of cult telly series Quantum Leap, you may be wondering why producer Mark Gordon thinks that Code must result in the jump towards the small screen. But that is exactly his plan, selling a weekly outing for that movie's technology to US network CBS. There will be considered a slight twist within the action this time around around, obviously, since Mike Gyllenhaal's Colter Stevens will not be showing up. Rather, the weekly series follows three former federal agents employed for any top-secret program. However their mission can be really similar: jumping in to the awareness of individuals involved with tragic occasions hoping of stopping them. If you have yet to determine the film, you will want to skip the next paragraph due to spoilers. We'll setup a meeting at the next... Still around? We doubt the three leads come in exactly the same condition as Stevens, with him turning to be brown bread (or at best damn near near to it) all along. Welcome back, spoilerphobes! At this time, it'll likely must see the pilot stage with Mislead Me/Lost veteran Steve Maeda hired to create the script. Director Duncan Johnson has tweeted that he isn't involved, but given Gordon's history about the small screen (he's assisted shepherd the kind of Criminal Minds and Grey's Anatomy), we are sure it features a shot. And despite the fact that it will seem like a brand new undertake Dr Mike Beckett's adventures or even the lesser-known and shorter-resided series 7 Days, almost always there is room for additional decent sci-fi on television.
