The website for the movie is www.marilynhotchkissmovie.com. This provides all sorts of information about the film, including the theaters where it will be released in the U.S. on March 31 — and new theaters keep being added! Also, if you could let people know the correct date of the movie’s opening — it’s March 31. Secondly, an L.A. radio station – K-mozart- is running a contest to win tickets to an exclusive screening with the film’s composer, Mark Adler. [More]

Fresh from his stint on “24” Sean Astin will be a guest on ‘The Tonight Show with Jay Leno’ tonight on NBC. He will no doubt talk about the events on “24” (highlight to reveal spoilers!) in which his character died a horrible death thanks to a nerve gas attack on CTU headquarters, but not before he managed to save the rest of the team. They may also talk about his latest film ‘Marilyn Hotchkiss’ Ballroom Dancing & Charm School’ which opens on March 24th in limited release. The Tonight Show airs on NBC at 11:35PM EST. Watch this space for a video clip!

Be sure to tune into FOX tonight at 9PM (it has now moved to 10PM in Canada) EST to catch a new episode of “24” with Sean Astin. Sean has joined the cast of the hit show in it’s fifth season, he plays a savvy government agent who has taken control of ‘CTU’ the Counter Terrorism Unit.
