Ed Harris (I love Ed Harris ... Very Unde3r-Rated!).. In 1983, Ed became a star, playing astronaut John Glenn in The _Right Stuff_. Twelve years later, a film with a similar theme led to Harris being nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of NASA mission director Gene Kranz in _Apollo 13_ directed by Ron Howard! *NEW DIRECTOR: Ron Howard!*

Joanne Woodward continued to act, in such films as _Summer Wishes, Winter Dreams_ and _Philadelphia_ (1993) in which she played the mother to Tom Hanks' character! *Celebri-links .. Tom Hanks!*

*Miller, David* - Joan Crawford's director in _Sudden Fear_ ('52) and _The Story of Esther Costello_ ('57), and her date to the March '53 Academy Awards show. (He also directed the remake of The Women, The Opposite Sex, in '56.)

Raymond Chandler - All but one of his novels have been cinematically adapted. Most notable was _The Big Sleep_ (1946), by Howard Hawks, with Humphrey Bogart as Philip Marlowe. William Faulkner was a co-writer on the screenplay. Raymond Chandler's few screen writing efforts and the cinematic adaptation of his novels proved stylistically and thematically influential upon the American film noir genre. *Celebri-links .... William Faulkner!!!*

DON'T FORGET: *January 25, 2010 - _Rain_ (1932) - 8am - Crawford was loaned out by MGM to United Artists for this film.* *Rain was not well-received either critically or financially upon initial release. The unglamorous role for Crawford and bold story (religious hypocrisy being its main theme) caught Depression-era audiences off-guard.* *_Notes_:* ? Filmed on Catalina Island off the coast of California. ? This was Joan's first film made on loan-out to a studio other than MGM. ? Other famous "Sadie Thompson"s: Jeanne Eagels (1922, stage); Gloria Swanson (1928 silent film); 1935 (Tallulah Bankhead, stage); Rita Hayworth (1953 film). Carroll Baker appeared in a 1970 TV version. ? Screenwriter Maxwell Anderson also wrote a radio play that Joan appeared in later in the 1930s: "Mary of Scotland" for the Lux Radio Theater. ? Joan's fellow cast members were cool to her during filming. Walter Catlett went so far as to tell her, "Listen, fishcake, when Jeanne Eagels died, Rain died with her." (JCB) ? While filming on Catalina Island, Joan usually stayed in her cottage evenings, playing Bing Crosby records over and over, to the annoyance of her fellow cast and crew. (JCB) ? Joan's marriage to first husband Doug Fairbanks, Jr., was on the rocks during filming. She often refused to take his calls and was short with him when he sailed out for a visit, claiming he was ruining her concentration. She went into seclusion after the film wrapped in the summer of '32, and a belated honeymoon trip to Europe proved fruitless. The couple were officially divorced 7 months after Rain's release. ? Joan discovered she was pregnant during filming and told Fairbanks that she had slipped on the deck of a ship while shooting, losing the baby. (LW)

*Date Shift for Corman's Piranha DVD and Blu-ray and More* *Sometimes a bun just needs a bit more time in the oven, ya know? Dread Central has learned today that Shout! Factory's upcoming (and we're sure to be stellar) DVD and Blu-ray release of the Roger Corman classic Piranha has been pushed back until August 2010.* The film was originally supposed to hit stores on DVD in April 2010, then Blu-ray a bit later, but now both packages will be hitting on the same day -- August 3rd. The push will no doubt give Shout! Factory more time to shape the final form of bonus content, and that's always a good thing. These cats know how to deliver quality! Also hitting that very same day will be the DVD releases of Humanoids from Deep and the Up from the Depths and Demon of Paradise double feature. Stay tuned for more as we get it.
