Robert Hoffman Has 'The Beat'
Filed under: Comedy », Independent », Music & Musicals », Casting », Scripts », Cinematical Indie »
It used to be that the musicians with the beat were the Go Gos. Now the beat is getting manly. The Hollywood Reporter has posted that there's a new indie '80s comedy on the way called We Got the Beat, and Robert Hoffman has just joined the cast. He's been dancing his butt off in a bunch of films and most recently got to groove in the rain with Briana Evigan in Step Up 2.
Written and directed by John Artigo, the film follows "Brad, a high school football player who sets out to prove he's more than just a jock by quitting the team and turning his heavy metal band into a pioneering boy band." But that's not who Hoffman is playing -- he gets to be "Garth, the boy-toy and live-in lover of Brad's mother."
This sounds like one of those films that could be terribly bad, or terribly good. Here's to hoping it's all set to real '80s music and is awesome. The indie begins filming this month.
Ashley Tisdale Will Fight Aliens
Filed under: Action », Comedy », Casting »
I imagine if she can deal with having one hell of an unfortunate name in the whole High School Musical series, Ashley Tisdale could take on a couple of aliens. Before she gears up for the third installment of the hugely popular HSM franchise as Sharpay Evans, The Hollywood Reporter says she'll fight off some other-worldly beings in 20th Century Fox's They Came From Upstairs. When I first told you about this project, Thor Freudenthal had nabbed himself the directorial chair for this feature. Unfortunately, now THR says that the adventure comedy will be helmed by John Schultz (Drive Me Crazy).The premise: a group of teens are partying it up in their Maine vacation home when aliens invade -- via the home's upstairs. I presume she'll be fighting off the green things, grey things, or whatever color the aliens will end up being along with co-stars Robert Hoffman (Step Up 2 the Streets), Carter Jenkins (Keeping Up with the Steins), and Austin Butler (Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide). Rounding off the cast is Ashley Boettcher and Henri and Regan Young. Cautionary tale #9873547 -- don't party with fellow teens in a vacation home, or aliens will invade! Production will get underway in the ultra-Maine location of Auckland, New Zealand later this month, and when that wraps, Tisdale will help bring High School Musical to the big screen for the first time.
