I’m pretty excited for USA Network’s ‘Covert Affairs.’ What’s the good word? – Bob
The word is the spy series (starring Piper Perabo and Christopher Gorham) looks like a lot of fun and should complement the USA slate nicely. Add to that the fact that Emmanuelle Vaugier has been cast in a recurring role, while Oded Fehr is set to guest star on the July 13 premiere, and I smell win-win-win.

Also, apparently CBS is airing the episode of Three Rivers with Oded June 26th at 8pm est and he’s also in the July 3rd episode.

Thanks to Lady Elaina for these news!

Our client Oded Fehr, co-star of such projects as the blockbuster The Mummy franchise, Resident Evil franchise, and critically adored Showtime series Sleeper Cell, will be bringing his considerable dramatic acting chops to a recurring role on CBS’ Three Rivers. The freshman CBS series Three Rivers is about the lives of organ donors, the doctors, and recipients of the organs at a preeminent transplant hospital in Pittsburgh. The series was created by Carol Barbee (Swingtown, Jericho) and stars Alex O’Loughlin (The Shield) as famous transplant surgeon Dr. Andy Yablonski.

(PRWEB) November 25, 2009 — ‘COHEN ON THE BRIDGE: The Entebbe Rescue’ directed by Andrew Wainrib, was named Best Documentary Short at the St Louis International Film Festival award ceremony closing event held at the Moonrise Hotel in St Louis, Sunday Nov 22.

The 21 minute animated documentary short was written and directed by Andrew Wainrib. It is Exec Produced by Ronnie Hogart and Jill Morris for AF 139 LLC and Malibu Film Wave and edited by Yaniv Sardal. It is narrated by Oded Fehr (The Mummy, Resident Evil). The film, in black and white animation, is a blend of 2D and 3D styles, and skillfully produced by Oliver Daly with Jonathan Katzman and his creative team at Studio Fatcat in Tel Aviv, Israel.

‘COHEN ON THE BRIDGE’ tells the story of the 1976 hostage drama in Entebbe, Uganda, through the POV of the first commando rescuer to enter the old terminal in Entebbe against impossible odds, and through the unique perspective of his own family’s rescue in World War 2.

‘COHEN ON THE BRIDGE: The Entebbe Rescue’ is the first of a two film mixed- media production. Director Andrew Wainrib is currently completing post production on the second and larger film, a 90 minute feature documentary entitled ‘Rescue Chronicles:Entebbe’, which combines over 70 live action interviews with cutting edge visual effects. It is scheduled to be completed by March 2010.

2009′s “Missing in Action” Horror Checklist

by Ryan Rotten.

THE STORY Neal Marshall Stevens (Thirteen Ghosts) takes vehicular terror in a new direction with what could best be described as H.R. Giger meets Christine. When members of a Chicago police department (Shannon Beckner and Resident Evil‘s Oded Fehr) impound a car they get more than they bargained for. Said “hell on wheels” is actually an organic being, a creature that has survived history transforming into various predators. For the modern age, it takes the guise of hot cars. Unfortunately, this thing doesn’t like being trapped in the department’s garage and it wants out. Crazy, right? Well here’s the proof this film exists – watch a promo trailer.

WHAT GIVES? Director Eric Valette shot the film in 2008 after the disastrous One Missed Called, perhaps in an effort to wash the bad taste out of his mouth. (Seriously, I’ll take a Giger-inspired pissed off Wacky Races car over Ed Burns chasing down a cell phone-hopping ghost any day.) At the beginning of this year, Voltage Pictures premiered a preview via their website.

So now what? Voltage is currently looking for a distributor. To be honest, theatrical sounds unlikely.

I’ve added Only In Our Dreams, a page that remembers the roles that didn’t happen, such as tv pilots that didn’t get picked up.

There are conflicting information regarding the airdate – a listing says the episode will air on October 30, while other listings list the airdate as November 6, 2008.

Drool is about an abused woman, Anora, who befriends an African American neighbor, Imogene. Their relationship crosses over the friendship line into romance and when the louse of a husband discovers them, he tries to kill them both. However, the tables are turned when Anora – quite by accident – kills him. The remaining family then toss daddy in the trunk of Imogene’s “Kathy K. Kosmetics” car and drives him to Savannah to be buried. It’s a dark comedy. Oded Fehr plays “Cheb”, the abusive husband. (Source, IMBD)

The script won the “Award for Best Feature Length Screenplay” at the 2007 Slamdance Film Festival.
