Matarazzo checks into Hostel: Part II
If "Hostel" didn't scare you out of taking a
trip to Europe, the filmmakers remain commit-
ted to terrifying college backpackers into stay-
ing home with "Hostel: Part II," set to go into
production this month.
Lesbian actress Heather Matarazzo
("Saved!") joins Bijou Phillips and Lauren
German as a trio of college students who learn
the horrifying truth about an Eastern European
hostel that doubles as a slaughterhouse where
unsuspecting tourists are murdered by the evil
rich who have paid for the privilege.
Matarazzo and company will presumably get
to enjoy a paid trip to the continent in between
all the running and screaming and being cov-
ered with fake gore that generally accompanies
this kind of gig.
Look for the bloodbath to splatter theater
screens sometime in 2007.
Aykroyd, Buscemi marry 'Chuck and Larry'
It has already been
reported that Adam
Sandler and Kevin
James will play the
leads in the currently
in-production come-
dy "I Now Pronounce
You Chuck and
Larry," about two
hetero firemen
who pretend to
be a gay couple
so they can qualify for the department's
domestic-partner benefits.
Now two more funnymen have joined
the cast. The ever-reliable Steve
Buscemi — who, after "The Wedding
Singer," "Billy Madison," "Big Daddy"
and "Mr. Deeds" should name his sum-
mer home after Sandler — will play a
city bureaucrat who's out to expose
Chuck and Larry as straight frauds,
while Dan Aykroyd plays the captain
of the fire department.
Should we start a pool as to
which of these four characters will
come out of the closet by the clos-
ing credits?
Nolte and Suvari explore
'Pittsburgh'
The long-awaited movie
version of Michael Chabon's
1988 novel, "The Mysteries
of Pittsburgh," keeps chug-
ging along.
We have already told
you that Rawson Marshall
Thurber would write and
direct and that Peter
Sarsgaard and Sienna
Miller had been cast.
Now more actors have
joined the project,
including Jon Foster
("Stay Alive," TV's
4 I dallasvoice.com I 09.01.06
"Windfall"), who
stars as Art Bechstein
(replacing the previ-
ously reported-on
Max Minghella), as a
young man who finds
himself in a love tri-
angle with Sarsgaard
and Miller's charac-
ters.
Nick Nolte will
play Art's dad,
Heather
Matarazzo
'W
Tyler Perry
a mobster, while "American Beauty" star and
erstwhile "Six Feet Under" lesbian Mena Suvari
has signed on as Phlox, Art's bookstore boss
and eccentric sometime-girlfriend.
Cameras are finally rolling in Pittsburgh.
'Tyler Perry's House of Payne'
coming to TBS
The Tyler Perry
empire shows no sign
of slowing down.
After raking in a
fortune with his
sassy, Christian-ori-
ented, Afro-centric
stage comedies —
often featuring Perry
cross-dressing as no-
nonsense senior citi-
zen Madea — and
wowing Hollywood with the box-office take for
the low-budget movies "Diary of a Mad Black
Woman" and "Madea's Family Reunion," the
show-biz entrepreneur is talcing his act to the
small screen.
TBS has signed a deal for the sitcom
A "Tyler Perry's House of Payne," set to pre-
miere in June. The cable network gets
® exclusive rights to the show for one year,
and then it gets syndicated to local Fox-
owned television stations. Given Perry's
shrewd business sense, the deal will
no doubt pay for lots and lots of grey
Madea wigs and housedresses.
McCormack in no rush to
do another sitcom
Eric McCormack says he's
through with sitcoms.
The Will & Grace star said
recently
he is
reluctant
to try to
follow
up the
hit gay-
guy-
meets-
straight-
gal com-
edy, which wrapped up in May
after eight seasons on NBC.
McCormack told an audience at
the Edinburgh International
Television Festival that he would
like to return to the small screen, but
"probably not in a sitcom, because I
don't think I can follow 'Will and
Grace,"' he said.
McCormack was in Edinburgh to
promote Lovespring International,
produced by his company, Big Cattle
Productions. The twisted dating-agency
sitcom airs in the U.S. on Lifetime
Television.

How safe do you perceive commercial
airplane travel to be today?
"I feel a lot safer
because of all the
security measures."

travel."

"I think it is just as
safe as it has always Tommie Kinney
been." College tutor
"I think it is probably
more safe to travel
right now after a
major accident
because everyone is
more careful than
usual."

not completely safe."
