Ready to Meet the Cast of NBC's Heroes TV show?


In the tradition of Film Festival Wednesdays here at the Madlab Post, I will now introduce you to a fun event worth checking out if you live in or near the Los Angeles area. I do not have any films playing at the JULES VERNE ADVENTURE FILM FESTIVAL but I would be in attendance if I had some frequent flyer miles. It already started on the 5th of this month, but will be going on up until December 16, 2007. Screenings will be taking place at the Shrine Auditorium and the Los Angeles Theatre. Thats not all....you can meet the cast of the NBC hit show Heroes at the JULES VERNE ADVENTURE FILM FESTIVAL.

Numerous cast members from Heroes are listed to be in attendance at the closing day event for this film festival. If you like adventurous films or science fiction or even if you are just bored and want to get away from the Holiday rush, this is a fun place to be. I just found out about the JULES VERNE ADVENTURE FILM FESTIVAL so I will be checking it out more to see if I can submit one of my short movies or videos to this event in the upcoming seasons. If you are familiar with this festival or have attended the event in previous years, I am curious to know what your experience was like. Leave your Comments below!

It's Hot with Eddie Monster: A 21 Questions interview


The Comedy short It's Hot! has attracted a wide audience on Myspace and even won the Comedy award at the 2007 Casablanca FutureVision Film Festival. This short video is very comical and many of us can relate, whether you live in a warm climate like Texas or if you have experienced a heat wave or two. I took some time out to interview Eddie "Monster" Evans about the funny short.

What is the name of the movie that you worked on and what is it about?
Well the name of the film is ITS HOT. It is about a guy that is dealing with hot temps.

What is your role in the movie?
I play the role of the hot guy.

How did you get to play this role ?Well me and my partner/homeboy wrote the script for me.

What did you enjoy most about making this movie?
It was fun bringing your own ideas to life. In other words i liked everything about making it!! 4REAL!!

What was one of the funniest moments that occured on set while making the movie?
I think it would be the scene were i was waking up out of bed. We had to do that scene over and over. But it was funny having to wake up yelling over and over again.

What is your favorite scene in the movie?
Thats a hard one for me. So i will go with what i got the most laughs at from other people. Which was the fan scene that had one blade on it. LOL

Are there any Similarities between you and the character you play in this movie?
YES! We wrote the script from true events.

Have you been to any film festivals where this movie has screened?No.

What kind of food did you eat while on set?
To be honest, I do not remember.

Explain the typical work day while working on this movie.
It was cold. We filmed in february. It was alot of fun and laughing going on. But we were able to get alot done at the same time. We were focused MAN!!

What was your favorite line of dialogue in the movie?
Now thats HOT!!


Is there anything else that you would like movie fans to know about this movie or your character?
Well, jus enjoy the film.

Did you have fun making this movie?
4sho!! I mean yea.

What was your worst movie theater experience?
I think it would be when I got kicked out of the movies cause the people I was with, kept talking during the movie.

Should parents be allowed to bring young children to movie theaters?
I don't see why not. they are the kids parents.

If you could have chosen any character to play in a previously released Hollywood film, who would it be and why?
Let me see...SPIDER MAN/Peter Parker in SPIDER MAN 3. Cause he was able to be two different personalities in one film. SPIDER MAN and BLACK SPIDER MAN. Now that I make movies myself, i should just creat a two dementional characture on my own.

Have you done crew work or in any other areas of filmmaking? If so, what were they and on what movies?
Man I have done it all like grip, lighting, sound, camera, casting, and everything else. This is independent work!! I have on LIFES LITTLE GAPS, TIMMY, PRANK, BEYOND THE GLASS, PAPAS GONE MISSING, THE VENDING MACHINE, and some other ones but i just cant think of them at the moment. Sorry to the ones I missed.

Do you act in independent films for the money, for fame, because you are bored or for mere pleasure?
well I would like to make some money, I just havent yet. I dont need fame, but it could help me get to the money. I do get bored easy and it gives me something to do that is positive. I also love doing this. Is that a good answer?

Do you prefer Hollywood films, Independent films or a combination of the two?
A combination of both.

Do you have any other jobs aside from acting?
I have a 9 to 5. That pays the bills until I get alittle fame and then I get casted for a paying role. I have a warehouse job.

and the 21st questions is.....What is the strangest name of a person that you have ever heard?
Its this dude that I work with named Na. 4REAL!!

Actor Jet Li Gets $13 Million Paycheck

Famed actor, Jet Li is getting a record-breaking $13 million paycheck for his latest movie, The Warlords.

The payment comes in 100 million yuan which is equivalent to $13 million (or $15 million depending on which new report you read...an australian news page has it at $15 million while Yahoo has it at $13 mil) in American dollars. The Warlords director Peter Chan stated that Li is a guarantee for global sales. Jet Li's paycheck is a record for an actor in a Chinese-language film. 44 year-old Li is a champion in the field of martial arts and has starred in many action related English-language films including Romeo Must Die, The One, Lethal Weapon 4 and Cradle to the Grave.

I wouldn't be complaining if I had his paycheck.
What would you do with it if you were Jet Li?
