morgan was kind enough to alert me of the following:

"Thought you might be interested to know that The Heist is scheduled to screen at the Toronto International Film Festival, which runs from September 6-15. It's a Special Presentation screening and I don't know much about dates or tickets, but the Festival website gets updated pretty frequently if you want to find out more."

i checked their website, and The heist is indeed listed. hopefully this means general release is going to happen october 19, as listed on the movie's official website. yey! :)

hi guys, sorry for the quiet spell the past few months - what can i say, it's summer. things will begin to pick-up within the next few weeks, though, so don't count the sam experience out just yet.

a good tip, though: this is samrockwell.com is a very good website to check for news on release dates or new hot pictures and whatnot, so make sure you've got it bookmarked! :)

i'm not going to disappoint you all with this update, though - there are some news - fellow fan merlin has alerted the sam crowd to the following:

"Sam plays an effeminate bellboy in the new Jon Favreau/Vince Vaughn black comedy about two goofballs who want to be in the mob. He's not in the credits. I heard he just did it because he is friends with Favreau and Vaughn and wanted to work with them in something."

The movie is called Made and is in theaters now, so i guess all i can say is - keep your eyes open for an effeminate bellboy?

as far as The Heist goes, the release date has been pushed back yet again, i'm afraid. keep your eyes peeled on the official heist website for the new dates (october 26 has been mentioned here and there) and make sure you catch all the pretty pictures on the website - there are several snazzy sam-shots. enjoy!

This just in from a very reliable source:

Sam will do an evening of two one-act plays at Williamstown this summer from July 25 through Aug. 5, Edward Albee's "The Zoo Story" and Harold Pinter's "The Dumbwaiter." Joe Mantello will direct.

So that's a "yey!" for all of us who missed sam in williamstown last summer. not that i think i'll be able to go, but i do expect full reports from all of you who do! :)

don't forget to vote for bigLove!

leif tilden, director of bigLove and friend of sam's seem to have stumbled upon this website. he was kind enough to e-mail to tell us the short film could use votes on the yahoo online film fest, so click here to go vote for bigLove! the winner (of the films) gets a screening on the big screen at the DGA theatre in Los Angeles! very cool.

apparently he also got sam to visit this website so .. yey. welcome, sam. freaked out yet? (laugh) leif gave the following tidbits:

- leif is trying to get the full feature version of bigLove off the ground.. it will star sam and be called "Phoebe & Nate" .. female costar so far undecided.

- sam is about to shoot a movie in cleveland called Welcome to Collinwood, directed by the russo brothers. sam has the lead, as a boxer, and is cast against jennifer esposito and the film apparently has a "huge supporting cast". shooting starts in april.

also, leif said he _might_ be able to drag sam online tomorrow (saturday) so just maybe if you go to the web board you'll see a greeting or so. if nothing else, go to read leif's posts. from my contact with him he strikes me as an utterly cool person - thanks for indulging us. :)

sam appears in short film big love, directed by long time friend leif tilden. you can view it online at ifilm.com! simply click here or go to ifilm.com and do a search for biglove (note, no space between big and love [thanks hazel!]) and click to view it. there is also an option to download it and view it through your own player. :)

also, bad news for all of us waiting for the release of The Heist, the movie directed by David Mamet that was slated for a may release. Merlin reports that the movie's release has been pushed for release in july, august or september of this year. boo.

hi guys. no news articles up just yet, i'm still busy working out the kinks of this spankly new pink web design, but check back in a couple of days and something'll pop up i'm sure.

also, the netscape version of this website needs a couple of more days for me to complete - apologies to those who use netscape and are met with a really crappy design right now. this web design was intended for explorer originaly, but hold tight and check back in a day or two and the netscape version will be up and running. sorry'bout that.
