New TV appearance: Leverage season premiere

leverage season fourOkay, I just went over a bunch of behind-the-scenes clips and promotional photos and there is no sign of Eric in any of them, but Aldis Hodge (who plays the tech guy on Leverage) sort of casually mentioned in an interview that he is in the season four premiere. The episode airs on Sunday, June 26 at 9 pm on TNT. That’s a little over two weeks from now.

BTV: You’d be going over my head there. Getting back to the show, can you tell us anything about the season 4 guest stars?
AH: Sure. Everybody knows by now we’ve got the great Danny Glover in episode 4 and 5. We have Eric Stoltz in episode 1, the premiere. We have Mark Sheppard coming back to revisit Sterling, and that’s going to be pretty awesome. We also have… another guest star coming back… We actually have two guest stars coming back. I don’t know if I can talk about those guys. They’re actually from the first season. They’re coming back in episode 11 or 12, possibly. So for the audiences who like to go back and check the history, that’s going to be really fun for them. — Buddy TV

Synopsis:

“The Long Way Down Job” – Sunday, June 26, at 9 p.m. (ET/PT)
To take down a corrupt financier, the LEVERAGE team must recover lost evidence high up on a mountain, racing hired guns and killer weather.

Glee directors – new behind-the-scenes clip

There is a new Glee BTS clip on YouTube, with the kids talking about the directors on the show. Here it is:

Fort McCoy to be screened at Stony Brook Film Festival in July

Fort McCoy will have its New York premiere at the Stony Brook Film Festival on July 22. You can find the details at StallerCenter.com.

According to the press release, Eric might attend the festival:

U.S. invitees include Isabella Rossellini (for the U.S. premiere of Late Bloomers), Liana Liberato and David Schwimmer (Trust), Jill Hennessy (Roadie), and Eric Stoltz (for the N. Y. premiere of Fort McCoy), among others.

And in other news:

You can pre-order Haunted Summer at MoviesUnlimited.com. The film will be available on June 17.

And AICN dug up a previously unseen behind-the-scenes pic from Back to the Future. Hit the link to see it.

Eric on directing Glee

There is recent interview with Eric (from the Newport Beach fest) over at the Orange County Register. He talks about working on Glee. The complete article is here.

Orange County Register: What is it like directing the young cast of ‘Glee’?

Eric Stoltz: It’s fantastic. It’s the most fun I’ve had in a long time. I love directing young actors. Many actors have the experience of not having been directed very often or very well. For the most part, directors are technically proficient and a little bit afraid of the actors. So, having been an actor for a long time, I can see things from their perspective.

Directing is something that I think i’m more suited for. I’m a better director than an actor. I love crews, I love talking to actors. After sitting in the trumpet section for many years, it’s nice to have the whole score in front of you. You can either inspire or not. I’ve spent a great many years in the trenches of independent film. You learn a lot there. Television is actually much closer to the independent film process.

Wilfred update & another Glee teaser

Eric has definitely filmed an episode of Wilfred. Victor Nelli, who has directed several episodes of the show in the last couple of weeks, mentioned working with him on Twitter (link). Since one of those episodes was episode 9 (pic), we probably won’t see Eric’s ep until late August.

In the meantime, here is another sneak peek from Glee:

Glee teaser and behind-the-scenes photos

Eric has posted a bunch of new photos on Twitpic today. Most of them are from his movies and there are also some pretty recent ones from the Glee set. You can see all the pics here. Here are the ones from Glee:

Photos from the Newport Beach Film Festival

eric stoltz,newport beach film festivalThere aren’t any interviews with Eric or clips from the Fort McCoy Q&A out there yet, but The Orange County Register has a few photos with Eric, Kate Connor and Andy Hirsch.

Go here and see pics 18-22.

There are also couple of red carpet interviews with Kate Connor and Andy Hirsch: one from the opening night at OCRegister.com and another one on YouTube (Andy Hirsch shows up at the 2:12 min. mark).

Curiously, the tweet from the casting director for Wilfred has been removed, even though a bunch of sites have picked it up via Spoiler TV. Hopefully, someone will confirm it on another site one of these days.
