From filmforce: Model-turned-actress Ivana Milicevic has been cast opposite Sean Astin (Sam) and Vinnie Jones in the sci-fi independent feature ‘Slipstream’. Slipstream follows “a young scientist (Astin) who invents a time-travel device that allows those who touch it to travel 10 minutes into the past. His plan to use the machine for a bank heist goes awry when a group of robbers tries to hold up the same place.” David van Eyssen, a former creative consultant, makes his feature directing debut with the MPCA picture. Slipstream is set to begin filming later this month in South Africa.

2 Fast 2 Furious star Tyrese and “Lord of the Rings” trilogy star Miranda Otto (Eowyn) have joined 20th Century Fox’s The Flight of the Phoenix, the action-thriller remake to be directed by John Moore. The cast includes Dennis Quaid, Giovanni Ribisi and Jared Padalecki. [More]

Kailin writes: Many cool things to bid on with Liquid Loot points, but the coolest is the pair of tickets to the LA premiere, including a trip to LA if you are an out of towner. Bidding ends on November 2, though, so hurry up and keep collecting your points and bid! [More]

Wellingtons finest digi-bongo-acapella-rap-influenced, guitar-based bongo-funk group are back for a one-off charity performance this Saturday. On November the 1st, Flight of the Conchords will be playing at the Buffalo Grand Hall, upstairs from Bats Theatre in Wellington NZ, starting at 10pm.

Tickets will be sold for $15, and there will be door sales only.

The concert is in aid of a production currently playing in the Bats ‘Stab’ season. DnA is a story based on a Greek tragedy, but the cast and crew have had their own particular bad luck, with thousands of dollars worth of theatre equiptment stolen two weeks ago.

DnA’s director, Jacqueline Coats comments “When things like the robbery happen, it makes the world seem a bit bleak, but then you get support like we’ve had from the Conchords and everyone else, and you realise there are good people out there.” DnA will have its last performance on Saturday night before the gig.
