Bourne 5 won’t be the name of the sequel set to open in 2016, but it remains untitled so it is the best I could do. The movie which is filming on location, attracted a bit of buzz this week after the producer, Frank Marshall, tweeted out this photo of Matt Damon, who is looking pretty buff.
According to IMDB, Julia Stiles returns (yay!) and the cast also includes Tommy Lee Jones, Vincent Cassel and Alicia Vikander, but let’s be frank – what we really want to see is some bad ass, shirtless scenes like the one photographed above with at least one completely unrealistic but still addicting chase scene.
I don’t normally write about events outside of New England but because I love San Francisco (what gay doesn’t -right) and because the organizers were so nice about reaching out to me I couldn’t resist doing my part to help.
California Independent Film Festival
September 10 – 16, 2015
Opening night features Tab Hunter Confidential; screening begins at 7:30 PM. In the 1950s Tab Hunter was number one at the box office and on the music charts. He was Hollywood’s most sought-after star rumored to have been linked to Natalie Wood, Debbie Reynolds and Sophia Loren. Nothing, it seems, could damage his career except for the fact that Tab Hunter was secretly gay. In Tab Hunter Confidential you will meet the real Tab Hunter as he shares his story of being a happy, healthy survivor of Hollywood’s roller coaster.

Earlier this summer I posted a photograph of a NYC subway station that materialized in front of my office at 125 High Street, which you can see here.

Local boy, James Cerne, who moved to Los Angeles but you may know from his DJ’ing days here in Boston or his role in Ryan Landry’s Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Oberon back in the fall of 2011 is now part of a gay-themed, choose-your-own-adventure movie coming to YouTube called HARD DECISIONS.
HARD DECISIONS follows Brandon and his friends as they decide what to do with their afternoon. Each decision will lead the viewer to another segment to continue the story. The viewer can then go back and see what might have happened if Brandon made decisions differently. Too bad life didn’t work that way.

Matt Riddlehoover’s PATERNITY LEAVE is a romantic comedy about Greg (Jacob York), Ken (Charlie David), and a moment of passion on the eve of their four year anniversary that changes the course of their lives forever.
Greg begins feeling nauseated, fatigued, moody and – most unfortunately – fat. At his wit’s end and Ken’s insistence, he sees a doctor who’s stumped and refers the couple to a specialist. To everyone’s amazement, Greg is pregnant. Shock, stress, and fear settle in, and Greg’s relationship gets put to the ultimate test.
