Angels and Demons, Dear Mr. Gacy and Only – Behind the Scenes #17

leave a comment »

Welcome to another episode of Behind the Scenes with our fearless MovieSet hosts, Eric and Shaun.  This week we discuss the new Tom Hanks movie, and sequel to Da Vinci Code, “Angels and Daemons“.  After that we take a look at a couple more obscure titles in “Only” and “Dear Mr. Gacy“.

First off lets take a look at “Angels and Daemons“. In this movie, Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) tries to solve a murder and unravel a plot by an ancient group, the Illuminati, to blow up the Vatican during a papal conclave. Its the sequel to the blockbuster thriller (and way better book) “The Da Vinci Code”.  It should be as exciting as the first movie! Check it out.

Next they talk about the movie “Only“. Its about a boy name Daniel who lives in a motel, managed by his parents, in northern Ontario. People come, people go, Daniel hardly notices. Until one day a girl arrives and changes his world. “Only” is a glimpse into the heightened impressions and dreams of two unlikely 12-year-olds. Over the course of a single day, they venture on a journey, exploring deep secrets, dark fears, and first love in a pure and powerful meeting of young hearts and minds.

Finally we check out “Dear Mr. Gacy. A true story from the producer of “Monster,” this drama is based on the experiences of 18-year-old college student Jason Moss and his relationship with notorious serial killer John Wayne Gacy. Living at home with his parents in suburbia, attending college and dating his girlfriend, Jason lives a seemingly normal life. As part of a school assignment, he sends a carefully crafted letter to John Gacy in prison, portraying himself as a vulnerable kid. Gacy, suspicious at first, puts Moss through harrowing emotional tests via phone and letters, before surrendering his trust to him. What follows is a twisted psychological game of cat and mouse between two master manipulators, in which Jason’s life is turned upside down and Gacy discovers new dimensions within himself.

Exclusives from Mr. Gacy, Freestyle and City Island – the pair talk about MovieSets most exciting up and coming films including Dear Mr. Gacy, City Island, and Freestyle.

Dear Mr. Gacy is a chronicle of the true life interactions between college student Jason Moss and the objection of his obsession, serial killer John Wayne Gacy. Our correspondents delve into details of the cast and crew, as well as show a clip from director Clark Peterson who discusses the premise of the film and how it differs from his previous film Monster.

Fell and Stewart explore another exclusive, City Island starring Andy Garcia, Emily Mortimor, Alan Arkin and Steven Strait. The film tells the story of a prison guard and New York family man, Vince Rizzo, who sees a familiar name among the new convicts list and realizes it belongs to a boy who he fathered twenty years earlier but abandoned. Now married with a new family, Vince takes his long-lost son, Tony Nardella, home with him, not telling his family who Tony really is – see some vidcast for a look at some exclusive clips.

After announcing the latest news about High School Musical, they show clips from Freestyle featuring Corbin Bleu as a 18 year old boy who is devoted to his family, and finds love and himself in his quest to win the Amateur National Motocross Championship.
