"A Gifted Man"
The annual Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour was held this week and one of the panels was for "A Gifted Man". Patrick Wilson, Jennifer Ehle, Margo Martindale and Executive Producer, Neal Baer were there to discuss the show.

Some great articles have been posted on-line about the panel:

And, there were some great comments on Twitter during the panel about Patrick's music abilities being used from time-time on the show, too.

Favorite Quote:
Executive Producer Neal Baer (ER, Law & Order SVU) said: "As for the show's star, says producer and
ER veteran Neal Baer, "I have not felt this excited about an actor since I worked" with George Clooney on ER."
Woo Hooooooo!!!!


"Young Adult"
This Jason Reitman-Diablo Cody creation starring Patrick Wilson, Charlize Theron, and Patton Oswalt will NOT screen at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival in September. Instead, they are skipping the festival circuit and Paramount will open it at the height of awards season. December 9 there will be a limited release (U.S.) and then a wide release December 1th.

This sure sounds intriguing...and an awards season release date says a lot about the expectations for this film. Can't wait!!!


"The Ledge"
This film starring Patrick Wilson, Liv Tyler, Charlie Hunnam, and Terrence Howard has slowly been spreading to more theaters in the United States. It's also available to view online at Sundance Now and on cable through IFC On Demand.

The DVD release date is September 27, 2011 and it is available for pre-order through sites like amazon.com


The Facebook Fan Page for Patrick Wilson now has over 8100 members. Just imagine what could happen once "A Gifted Man" premieres and "Young Adult" opens!!!
