  • The good news is that the screenwriters labor strike is officially over! :arrow:

    But sadly The Futon Critic reports that production for Life starring Damian Lewis will not resume this season! :cry:

    It has been speculated that new shows such as Life will restart production during the summer (and the networks will re-run the original episodes during the summer) and then begin airing new episodes in the fall. So that’s good news, sort of! :)

  • The region 2 DVD for Chromophobia starring Damian Lewis is now available for pre-order and will be released in the UK on April 7th. The film is currently available on region 2 DVD in France. Chromophobia is now playing at the FilmHouse Cinema in Edinburgh.
  • According to the official site for The Escapist, co-starring Damian Lewis, the new UK theatrical release date is April 25th.
  • Spoiler warning! This reviewer describes The Escapist as “…a high-octane, efficiently told story from the UK about a prison break … scrambled chronologically into a complex web of suspense.”
  • Spoilers! This description of the brilliant Lodge Kerrigan film Keane starring Damian Lewis states:

    Veering between days of relentless searching and nights of alcohol and drug induced extremes, William Keane (Damian Lewis, BAND OF BROTHERS) teeters on the edge of sanity. He is desperately searching for his 6-year-old daughter, who has been missing for months. Then one day, he meets a financially strapped woman, Lynn Bedik (Amy Ryan, THE WIRE), and her 7-year-old daughter, Kira (Abigail Breslin, SIGNS). As he becomes increasingly attached to the child, the story moves to a whole new level of poignancy and tension, especially as it emerges that Keane’s daughter may never had existed at all. Director Lodge Kerrigan plunges us directly into Keane’s profoundly unsettled universe, and Damian Lewis’ devastating performance makes KEANE a riveting, complex and deeply humane experience.
