Battle Season for Charlize and Her Man
Filed under: Drama, Casting, Newsstand
Even if they've successfully made names for themselves as actors (unless, of course, those names are "Clint Eastwood" and "Robert Redford"), most new writer-directors have to start pretty small their first time out.

Btw, the *Night Stalker* two-disc DVD set is pretty sweet.

I think that Stuart Townsend is a very talented actor and can't wait to see his debut of WTO. I think the WTO is a subject that requires a great team like this. I also loved "Night Stalker" and hated to see it go.
