An interesting effort is coming your way before long, and it’s pulling together a cast that will make it a kind of who’s who of underappreciated actors. Ghost Team, directed by Oliver Irving, has announced its cast, which includes Jon Heder, David Krumholtz, and many more.
Heder hasn’t managed to find material that resonated with audiences since Napoleon Dynamite, at least, not to the extent he deserves, and Krumholtz is almost the poster boy for not getting the recognition that you’d expect. Unfortunately, both actors often play characters that may not seem that difficult, and/or are something of a sidekick.
The new film, about a team of paranormal investigators who find themselves in over their heads, also stars Melonie Diaz, Paul W. Downs, Justin Long, and the woefully overlooked Amy Sedaris.
Though the film can’t mention its own indie status enough, meaning the budget is extremely tight,...

Robert Pattinson helped propel New Moon to record-breaking heights at the weekend but he says he is terrified of being overshadowed by the Twilight phenomenon and misses the simpler pleasures of his music.
An accomplished musician, the 23-year-old confessed he longs to return to playing the piano and guitar at open mic nights in pubs and clubs, something he used to do when work dried up before he was cast in the vampire romance series.
He said: "I want to do gigs again... I guess the only way to do gigs is you have to get an album to kind of silence everyone first - and then you can play as many gigs as you want
"I really miss it. I am really afraid of being overshadowed by [Twilight]. It does make you set your standards higher because you need to overshadow this massive thing... You've got to be winning Grammies...

Much to my delight, I received my How To Be soundtrack yesterday featuring The Twilight Saga: New Moon and Little Ashes star Robert Pattinson's musical wonders. No, I wasn't one of the lucky few to receive an autographed copy, but I am here to happily report that the soundtrack was, overall, quite a surprise. In fact, this particular album is by far one of the most unique compilations I've laid my hands on so far. Each song, or in some cases "snippet" of dialogue from the film, is interesting its own way, and, yes, we get a lot of Robert Pattinson. Featured on the album are many works by the lovely Joe Hastings. Hastings' contributions add up to eight pieces of the twenty-three-song disc, and they are all congruent and contiguous. I dare say that it is the combination of Hastings and Robert Pattinson...
