Patrick Wilson - New Fan Mail Address (May 2011)

With Patrick Wilson gaining more and more recognition these days, we thought it would be important to share the following:
Patrick Wilson's manager, Tony Lipp, has moved from CAA to Anonymous Content.
He just confirmed that we can send fan mail to his new office:

Patrick Wilson
c/o Tony Lipp
Anonymous Content
3532 Hayden Avenue
Culver City, CA 90232
Remember, if you are sending something for him to sign (photos, poster, Playbill, etc), you must include a self-addressed stamped envelope for the item so it can be returned to you.


As Patrick releases more films .and if the CBS Medical Drama Pilot ("Untitled Susannah Grant Project) gets picked up, Tony may find himself knee-deep in fan mail!

"Seth Speaks"
Earlier this week in New York City, Patrick Wilson recorded an appearance on Seth Rudetsky's Sirius/XM radio show "Seth Speaks". Seth is an acclaimed musician, actor, writer, and radio host. Patrick has appeared twice on Seth's weekly show "Seth's Chatterbox" at "Don't Tell Mama's" club in NYC. They have a great rapport.

The show airs this Sunday, May 15th at 5pm (Eastern Time/US) on Sirius/XM which is satellite radio. It is available by subscription only.

If anyone has the chance to hear the interview, please tell us about it by posting on our FB page, our Yahoo Group, the messageboard on our main website (see right hand column on this blog for links) or via Twitter (@PWFans).




"The Ledge"
We now have a chance for a Sneak Preview of "The Ledge".

Here's how to see this movie before it goes to conventional "Video on Demand" on IFC in two weeks:

Edited to add:
For non-US Patrick Wilson Fans, sad news. No access to Sneak Preview of "The Ledge" right now. I asked them about the problems Canadian fans were having in access the movie.
Here is their response:


"SundanceNOW:
Unfortunately SundanceNOW and IFC Films only have US rights to the film. We recommend checking http://www.theledgemovie.com/ for news on when it will premier in Canada. Thanks so much for your support, we hope you can see The Ledge soon!"

Sorry...


Happy Weekend, Everyone!!!

"The Ledge", "Insidious", "Untitled Susannah Grant Project", Broadway Theatre Project, and Commencement Address


Wow! Where to begin? The last few days have been full of great news about Patrick Wilson. When it rains, it pours--and we wouldn't have it any other way!

"The Ledge"
The one-sheet poster for "The Ledge" was released this week (see above) as was the trailer:




And, May 11th-25th, "The Ledge", starring Patrick Wilson, Liv Tyler, Terrence Howard, and Charlie Hunnam will be available for a "sneak preview" on the "Sundance Now" website:
http://www.sundancenow.com/

The film will then be available via On-Demand via IFC (Independent Film Channel).



"Insidious"
This is the little film that could. "Insidious" is still going strong in the United States as it also begins opening around the world. It has grossed over $50 million domestically and we can't wait to see the international figures. Congrats to everyone who had a part in creating "Insidious"!



"Untitled Susannah Grant Project"
This CBS Medical Drama (possibly aka "Vital Signs) was one of the pilots screened last week for the network. TV Guide has listed it as one of it's top picks. Whoo Hoooooo!

Here's their write up:
"Untitled Susannah Grant Project (CBS)
Starring: Patrick Wilson, Jennifer Ehle
Summary: The life of an ultra-competitive surgeon (Wilson) is changed forever when his ex-wife (Ehle) dies and begins teaching him about life from the hereafter.
Pedigree: Susannah Grant (the Oscar-nominated screenwriter of Erin Brockovich) is executive-producing.
Why we like it: Once you get on board with the woo-woo-concept, it's actually quite smart... and sweet.
Why it has a shot:
CBS knows from "talking to dead people" shows. Remember The Ghost Whisperer?

Broadway Theatre Project

This year the program runs July 10-31. We'll keep you posted about which day(s) Patrick will be there--his busy schedule permitting, of course!

Trinity College Commencement Speaker

Patrick will be the Commencement Speaker for 2011 Graduation at Trinity College in Hartford, CT on Sunday, May 22. He's also getting an honorary doctorate in Fine Arts that day, too. Congratulations, Dr. Wilson!

Another "shout out" to fans by Patrick Wilson



Here's the April 2011 "shout out" to fans that Patrick Wilson recorded for us at the Lyrics & Lyricists event at Tribeca with David Yazbek on April 11th. We're grateful to Patrick for taking the time to do this message for his fans--and we got a chuckle out of his plug for "Insidious".


Enjoy!


(And, many thanks to Karen, our Facebook Page Co-Admin, for attending the event and doing the filming!)
