News from the Employee of the Month movie premiere

Hey Folks!

EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH is just 2 short weeks away! Here at “The Gate” we’re pretty excited!

Just this past week we held the Premiere for the movie and yours truly was invited to go! Now I was pretty excited about this for a couple of reasons: first, it’s a Lionsgate movie and it’s a privilege to be there and support the film. Second, always great people-watching at a Premiere. Aside from the cast of the movie I saw the likes of Brett Ratner, comedian Kathy Griffin, rock star Scott Weiland to name a few. Third, getting to go to the Premiere After Party. Also, I’m a fan of Dane Cook. Not only do I think he’s a wicked funny comic, but the guy is from Boston and unlike the Big Dig he’s doing good. I have to support that. Last but not least, I’m a movie fan. I go to an event like this and I’m a kid in a Toy “R” Us with a fully loaded Gift Card. I’ve been lucky enough to go to a few premieres and they never get old for me.

So on to the picture. Yup! That’s me hanging with Dane Cook!! He was very gracious in allowing me time to chat with him and have this picture snapped. For those who are fans of his, he is as cool as you would think would be and just damn nice. I am a fan for life! As we like to say in Boston he’s Wicked Pissahhhh!

And yes for those who might be wondering… Jessica Simpson is gorgeous!

Blahhh blahhhh blahhh you met Dane, you saw cool people BUT HOW WAS THE MOVIE?!???? Wicked funny! To be honest it was my third time seeing it so I better have liked it. I think people going to see EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH opening OCTOBER 6 are going think it’s funny too! All indicators are pointing to the movie being a success.

Well that’s it for now. Thanks for reading. Keep checking back for more stories and news.

Upcoming Lionsgate movies round-up

Hey Folks,

I got to do something pretty cool not too long ago. I went to the Cast and Crew Screening of CRANK. I actually met CRANK star Jason Statham. He was really cool. Hey, he took time to talk to me so he gets points for that. I also chatted with Jose Pablo Cantillo. He plays the movies bad guy, Verona. In real life he’s nothing but a good guy. He is starring in a new fall show called Standoff. That’s the one with Ron Livingston. It’s not a Lionsgate show but he was a nice guy so I’ll give the show a mention here.

On to Lionsgate’s next wide release which is EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH starring Dane Cook, Jessica Simpson, Dax Shephard and Efren Ramirez (PEDRO!) The movie opens on October 6. Just about 3 weeks away. There are still some promo materials available such as bottle openers and coasters. So give me a call or drop me an e-mail. Don’t forget to give me your Technicolor Account Number so I can ship out your stuff.

For the Art Houses we have the September 15 release of THE U.S. vs. JOHN LENNON. This documentary is for the music lover, the history buff and of course fans of The Beatles. It shows how in 1971 the United States Government tried to have John Lennon deported because they feared his belief in giving peace a chance could possibly dishevel the political landscape of the time.

In case you needed reminding, Halloween is just around the corner and you know what that means… SAW 3! Opening wide on October 27!
