What a treat - we have a guest-blog from NATALIE MEDLOCK and GARETH WILLIAMS! Both star in the upcoming Silo Theatre play 'ASSASSINS' (a musical written by Stephen Sondheim).'
"Using the premise of a murderous carnival game to produce a revue-style portrayal of men and women who attempted (successfully or otherwise) to assassinate Presidents of the United States. It’s a anarchic history lesson of a (in) famous and select group of assassins."
Natalie Medlock (Squeaky Fromme) interviews Gareth Williams (Lee Harvey Oswald) on their lunch break at rehearsals...
NATALIE: Good afternoon Gareth and welcome to your interview with Natalie Medlock on 'Assassins' and your life as an actor.
GARETH: Hello.
NATALIE: Hello. I’m just pretending to be an interviewer, really you know me. But my first question is, why did you become an actor?
GARETH: Well, Natalie Medlock…
NATALIE: Yes, Gareth Williams….
GARETH: I became an actor because I enjoy the performance.
<silence>
NATALIE: But why?

JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT and ELLEN PAGE starred in some of our favourite films of last year, from the charming '(500) Days Of Summer' to the roller-derby extravaganza 'Whip It'. It shouldn't come as any surprise to you then that when we found out they would be starring alongside each other in the upcoming film 'INCEPTION' there was a lot of rapid exhaling and inhaling involved.
Our must-see film of July, rapidly rises to some sort of recommended watch or die fixation more and more, with every new tidbit about the movie that gets squirrelled our way in the lead-up to the release on July 22nd. You can watch the trailer HERE - then a behind-the-scenes featurette HERE.
But what you really want, is Gordon-Levitt and Page on a screen right in front of you now. Well, you're going to have to wait for the 22nd big-screen-wise - you know what they say, good things take time - but in the mean-time, we are delighted to be able to whet your small-screen cravings with the following exclusive video interview!

"Enter a world of sideshow freaks and vampires with 'Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant'. Based on the best-selling book series, take a journey with 16-year-old Darren as he unknowingly breaks a 200-year-old truce between two warring factions of vampires and finds himself part of the Cirque Du Freak. Available on Blu-ray and DVD from the 7th of July."
The multifaceted SALMA HAYEK plays the bearded lady Madame Truska in 'CIRQUE DU FREAK: THE VAMPIRE’S ASSISTANT'. Read on for our exclusive Q&A with Hayek herself!
This is a role where you play a bearded lady. Is it nice to play with your image like that?
SALMA HAYEK: Oh yes. It’s not even the first time I’ve worn a beard. I did a movie called 'After The Sunset' with Pierce Brosnan and in the beginning of that film I am disguised as a homeless guy and I have the beard and everything. I love it, and in 'Frida' I had the one brow and in 'From Dusk Till Dawn' I turn into a monster. I’m familiar with the transformation.

Despite his fanged bad-boy dramatics and nonchalant disregard for human life as Damon Salvatore in the new TV show 'THE VAMPIRE DIARIES' - in reality - actor IAN SOMERHALDER is a heart-warming champion for animal rights and environmental issues.
Somerhalder wants: you to question how much mercury is in your sushi, an end to the slaughter of Calderon Dolphins in Denmark (specifically the Faroe Islands), some-one to invent a replacement for plastic so that marine wildlife cease mistaking it for food floating on the surface of oceans, a stop to primates being threatened by tropical forest destruction, you to be aware that 320,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity is wasted in the United States every minute from inefficient residential electricity usage, a boycott of all BP petrol stations, and a resignation from the head of the American Environmental Protection Agency in light of the horrific aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon oil-drilling disaster.
The thirty-one-year old has devoted his Summer break from 'The Vampire Diaries' production, to rolling up his sleeves and going all-in to aid efforts to clean up the Gulf region. Even en route, stopping to visit a dog adoption drive in Atlanta - crestfallen that no-one had turned up - retooling his personal Twitter profile as an animal adoption agency. When Vampire Diaries-press duty diverted Somerhalder away from Grand Isle to New York, he declared that he was: "pretending everything is okay - everything is NOT okay. Oil everywhere! Anyone have a plan? BP? Feds? Nope! This is a joke and we as a country should be sick to our stomachs. Thank you Government for allowing huge industries to regulate themselves."
60,000 barrels of oil are still leaking into the Gulf every day, and Somerhalder is devastated: "I'm so sorry that our insatiable thirst for oil has spawned the worst disaster ever in the Gulf of Mexico, spewing hundreds of thousands of gallons of oil into the water which will hit the shores of and destroy my favourite place on the planet, the Gulf coast of Louisiana." He summarised his anguish in the following: "We can send people to the moon, wage giant wars, and transplant human hearts, but we can't stop a leaking oil well..."
