Wentworth Miller and Halloween 2012



 
Now it’s no secret that dear Went enjoys the macabre as it's said that he enjoys reading, watching movies and writing about the subject.  One of his favourite authors is Stephen King and two of his favourite movies are The Shining and Carrie.  It looks as though his Stokeris going to have everyone on the edge of their seats too, when they see it. 
I must confess that I have something in common with Went, and that is I enjoy a scary movie once in awhile too.  One of my favourites is John Carpenter's Halloween.  Here's a snippet to set the mood.
 
 
I also have a short story for you that I hope will send shivers down your spine to celebrate Halloween. 
 



It was Halloween night in 2004 and a young boy was being picked on by his brother and some older kids from school.  They dared the young boy to go into the graveyard at midnight with a bunch of garlands and place one on each of the gravestones.  Not wanting them to think he was a coward, the young boy accepted the challenge.  It was a moonless night and the inside of the cemetery was pitch black.  The rusty old gates of the cemetery opened with a creak and the boy cautiously entered.  He looked at his watch.  It was midnight.  The witching hour.  Clutching the garlands tightly, he made his way to the middle of the graveyard.  He was shaking with fear, but he tried to steady his nerves.  He was afraid that if he returned without completing the task, the older boys would laugh at him.  Moving slowly through the cemetery, he got the distinct feeling that someone or something was watching him.  Finally, he managed to place each garland on a gravestone and his task was complete.  “Well, that’s all of them”, he whispered to himself.  Just then, he felt a cold hand on his shoulder as a voice hissed “You forgot mine.”




ENJOY

one of my favourite guitarists.

Wentworth Miller: Stoker's Pencil Poster

 


 
Check out this link for an amazing artistic promo video for the making of Stoker and the pencil poster that has me captivated.


My goodness all the creativity for Went’s movie has me completely brimming over with excitement and joy.  I just love people using their creativity.  It’s such a wonderful gift and when used properly it's really beautiful and inspiring.

Wentworth Miller and Stormy Weather.







The Hurricane
Lord of the winds! I feel thee nigh,
I know thy breath in the burning sky!
And I wait, with a thrill in every vein,
For the coming of the hurricane!
 
And lo! on the wing of the heavy gales,
Through the boundless arch of heaven he sails;
Silent and slow, and terribly strong,
The mighty shadow is borne along,
Like the dark eternity to come;
While the world below, dismayed and dumb,
Through the calm of the thick hot atmosphere
Looks up at its gloomy folds with fear.
 
They darken fast; and the golden blaze
Of the sun is quenched in the lurid haze,
And he sends through the shade a funeral ray—
A glare that is neither night nor day,
A beam that touches, with hues of death,
The clouds above and the earth beneath.
To its covert glides the silent bird,
While the hurricane’s distant voice is heard,
Uplifted among the mountains round,
And the forests hear and answer the sound.
 
He is come! he is come! do ye not behold
His ample robes on the wind unrolled?
Giant of air! we bid thee hail!—
How his gray skirts toss in the whirling gale;
How his huge and writhing arms are bent,
To clasp the zone of the firmament,
And fold at length, in their dark embrace,
From mountain to mountain the visible space.
 
Darker—still darker! the whirlwinds bear
The dust of the plains to the middle air:
And hark to the crashing, long and loud,
Of the chariot of God in the thunder-cloud!
You may trace its path by the flashes that start
From the rapid wheels where’er they dart,
As the fire-bolts leap to the world below,
And flood the skies with a lurid glow.
 
What roar is that?—’tis the rain that breaks
In torrents away from the airy lakes,
Heavily poured on the shuddering ground,
And shedding a nameless horror round.
Ah! well known woods, and mountains, and skies,
With the very clouds!—ye are lost to my eyes.
I seek ye vainly, and see in your place
The shadowy tempest that sweeps through space,
A whirling ocean that fills the wall
Of the crystal heaven, and buries all.
And I, cut off from the world, remain
Alone with the terrible hurricane.
 
William Cullen Bryant (1854)
 
My thoughts and prayers are with all of those living on the East Coast of the US who are being affected by the onslaught of Hurricane Sandy at this time.  May God bless you and your families and keep you all safe and sound.
And as a certain characteronce said …
Michael Scofield:  I’m Michael by the way …
Prison Break – Season 1
 
Michael Scofield:  My brother told me there wasn’t anything in the closet but fear.  And fear wasn’t real.  He said it wasn’t made of anything; it was just [he pauses]
Michael Scofield:  air.  Not even that.  He said you just have to face it.  You just have to open that door, and the monster would disappear.
Prison Break – 2005

Wentworth Miller: Words of Worth.




Daffodils
 
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
 
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
 
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed--and gazed--but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
 
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
 
 
William Wordsworth

Wentworth Miller: The Making of Loft - On Set.


News about the remake of the Belgian movie Loft was all over the Internet.

Initially Patrick Wilson was rumoured to be acting in the remake of Erik Van Looy’s movie Loft, alongside James Marsden, Wentworth Miller and Eric Stonestreet. The 2008 original Belgian movie Loft, was scripted by Bart De Pauw and adapted by Wesley Strick. Shooting of the US remake was going to begin on the 6 June 2011 in New Orleans (NOLA).



Patrick Wilson was committed to another project at the time. It was later announced that the cast members for Loftwere as follows:

Karl Urban as Vincent Stevens (replacing Patrick Wilson, who dropped out at the start of filming)

James Marsden as Chris Vanowen

 Wentworth Miller as Luke Seacord

 Eric Stonestreet as Marty Landry

 Matthias Schoenaerts as Philip Williams

 Rhona Mitra as Allison

 Rachael Taylor as Ann

 Isabel Lucas as Sarah Deakins

 Valerie Cruz as Barbara

 Elaine Cassidy as Ellie

 Kali Rocha as Mimi

 Margarita Levieva as Vicky


When the news broke that Went was going to act in the remake of Loft, I was beside myself with excitement because I enjoy dramas and thrillers and it also meant I was going to see Went soon.  The original movie Loft was a huge success in Europe.  It was a saucy psychological thriller that had audiences captivated. To top it all Went was going to be travelling to NOLA too.  I’ve always had a longing to visit this fascinating place and knowing that Went was going to be there had me even more interested and enthusiastic about the movie.  I enjoy listening to The Blues and Jazz and have always felt that I’ve been to NOLA perhaps in a past life.  I certainly hope that Went got to do a little sightseeing on my behalf, in his spare time besides studying his script, reading, working, eating and sleeping. [She grins.]


 I couldn’t wait to hear more about Went's new project.  Within a few days of the announcement of the movie some fabulous pictures and videos emerged on the Internet of Went and the crew on the set of the movie Loft.

 

On Set.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
Went looks so adorable wearing glasses.

 

These pictures were an absolute blessing not only to me but to all of Went’s fans.  It was so wonderful to see Went again after such a long break and may I add … he looked marvellous.


I’m not ashamed to tell you that I’ve watched these videos over and over again because it’s so good to watch Went walking, talking and working!  [She winks.]

I found the following videos very amusing.  I have named them...

“Hounded by a Reporter”
 

“The Interrogation”

 

The interviewer Martin Heylen is no relation to me in case you’re wondering.  What a pity he got to do the interview instead of me. [She laughs.]  It seemed to me that Mr Heylen was unprepared for this interview.  He also appeared to be extremely nervous and overwhelmed by Went’s alluringpresence (I’d probably feel the same) and was more interested in Went’s character and personality rather than posing his questions about the movie.  As we all know Went is a very private person and this type of questioning probably caught Went by surprise and may have been very intimidating for Went.  No wonder Went appeared slightly uncomfortable.  Firstly Went probably picked up on the gentleman’s nervousness and to me that can be rather unsettling to say the least.  Secondly, no one likes to be probed about their personality that’s for sure.  I know that I don’t.  With all that being said, this interview is very dear to my heart.  Went remained graceful and polite throughout this very awkward  and unprofessional interview.  It just goes to show just how professional Went is and what a fine gentleman he truly is. Went you certainly are a sweetheart


I’m quite sure I could’ve conducted the interview with Went in a slightly more relaxed and charming fashion.  [She says mischievously.]

 On second thoughts perhaps I would’ve been far too overwhelming for Went.  [She giggles.]




Screencaps


 
 


Promo Video for Loft


"But that is not the trailer," says Erik Van Looy. "It's a rushing mounted promo reel for internal use which in one way or another on the Internet has arrived. The real trailer will be more impressive, I promise. "


The Release Date

 

Thank you for reading this blog.  I look forward to sharing the next one with you.

I thought these two music videos were fitting for the movie’s location.
 
Good Ol' John Fogerty and Born on the Bayou
 
The Blues
