Vincent Gallo Lashes Out at 'Communication Breakdown' Star
Sunday,
March 27, 2005
Actor/Director Vincent Gallo has gone on the attack in response to "Communication Breakdown" actor
Jacob Christner's claims that he doubled for the star's penis during the infamous Chloe Sevigny fellatio scene in last year's controversial film "The Brown Bunny" (which Gallo directed). “It’s odd having so many men obsessed with my penis. If I had a more normal-sized penis, none of this would have ever happened,” said Gallo in an interview with Gawker.com. “I have never met
Jacob Christner…his lie and fantasy is strange, though, as there was a woman, Mrs. Christner, who I think had a son named Jacob. Her job was to blow me all day long while I set up the cameras and lights. Mrs. Christner was a great sport, she also helped me rehearse for my newest film, 'Mrs. Christner’s First Anal.' Strange Jacob would dream of being my body double, knowing what his mom did and all.” Christner, who appears in the
Richard
O'Sullivan-directed
"Communication Breakdown"
as a character called "Choke Boy," is also a mixed-martial arts competitor who will engage in a caged fight at the Ring of Fire Tournament in Tennessee on April 2nd.

Did Vincent Gallo Use a
'Stunt Double' in 'Brown Bunny?'
Sunday,
March 20, 2005
When last year's film "The Brown Bunny" came out, most critics
focused on the fact that actress Chloe Sevigny performed actual fellatio
on star/director Vincent Gallo during a nearly ten minute sex scene.
What they failed to point out, however, was that Gallo's face and his
penis were never actually shown in the same shot. "That's because it
wasn't Gallo's dick," says actor Jacob
Christner. "It was mine." Christner, who appears in the
upcoming "Communication
Breakdown" as a character known as "Choke Boy," says he
worked on the movie as Gallo's "stunt penis" but has yet to be
paid for his contribution to the film. "I'm very disappointed. I was
assured by the producers that I was gonna ride Vincent Gallo's dick all
the way to Hollywood but it looks like I've gotten the shaft."
Reportedly, the cast and crew of "The Brown Bunny" were all
forced to sign confidentiality agreements prior to the commencement of
shooting but Christner feels his contract was breached. Gallo maintains
that he used remote control cameras to do the scene and that it actually
was his genitalia. Sevigny is reportedly in the running to appear in
"Spider-man 3."

"controversy" in the entertainment world. The New York Post is

'Communication
Breakdown' Director Attacked by Former Gorgeous Lady of Wrestling
Tuesday,
March 15, 2005
In a bizarre incident this past Tuesday, Writer/Producer/Director Richard
O'Sullivan was assaulted outside an editing studio by a former stripper
who once worked as a performer for a 1980's wrestling show headed up by
Sylvester Stallone's mother. Michelle Stelk, who competed not only for Jackie
Stallone's Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling but also the roller derby, punched
O'Sullivan during an argument the filmmaker was having with her
unidentified friend. Police were called to the scene but O'Sullivan declined
to press charges, laughing the situation off. "Michelle's not a bad
person," says O'Sullivan. "She just got carried away defending
someone who neither needed nor deserved a defense. I'm just thankful that
she hits like a girl."

'Communication
Breakdown' Star Nabs Lead in National Lampoon Film
Thursday,
March 10, 2005
The girl who once told Jerry Springer's
audience that she "wasn't an actress" has now
become a top line star. Jasmin
St. Claire, who made her comedic acting debut last year in
Director Richard
O'Sullivan's "Communication
Breakdown," has been tapped to play the female lead
in "National Lampoon's Dorm Daze 2: Semester at
Sea." Originally cast in a small supporting role, the
producers were so blown away by St. Claire's acting that they
recast the film, giving the woman known as "The
World's Most Dangerous Sex Symbol" top billing.
"Hollywood is quickly finding out what we've been saying
for the past year," says O'Sullivan. "Jas is a
real actress, a real star, and money in the bank."
Directors Scott & David Hillenbrand were sold on St.
Claire after seeing clips of her as "Janice" in CB.
The National Lampoon brand of films includes such monster hits
as "Animal House," "Van Wilder," and the
Chevy Chase "Vacation" series.

Tuesday,

Shoreline Entertainment has acquired the
distribution rights to "Sinkhole," the acclaimed
film from Writer/Producer/Director Paul Schattel. Shoreline is
headed up by Morris Ruskin, one of the guiding forces behind

southern town, opened to critical praise last year at film
festivals in New York and Los Angeles. 'Communication
Breakdown' helmer Richard
O'Sullivan, who actually lived in a
house that was used as one of the main sets on the movie,
called it his "favorite indie film of 2004." To see

Fox/Whedon Split Fuels
Rumors of New Joss-less Buffy Series
Sunday,
March 6, 2005
Fox Television has completely divested
itself from Mutant Enemy, the production company owned by
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" mastermind Joss Whedon.
This has some insiders speculating that the rumors of a new
Buffy series without Whedon at the helm may be true after all.
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" was originally a property
sold to Fox by Kuzui Enterprises and Sandollar Television.
Whedon, who penned the big screen film that the series was
based on, pitched the idea of doing "Buffy" as a
series to the WB in the late 90's and has largely been looked
at as the driving force behind the series. Over the years,
there have been rumblings of a massive rift between Kuzui,
Fox, and Whedon, with terms like "breach of
contract" used liberally. A script for a big screen Buffy
sequel (attached to the Kuzui camp) has circulated for awhile
now and recently a brief screener for a proposed
"Buffy" television pilot began making the rounds.
According to Fox TV, it retains full rights to the Buffy
franchise. Fox refuses to comment on whether or not Kuzui and/or Sandollar retain a "first right of refusal"
option as to who produces the show. Speculation is that the
recent Fox TV/Whedon split indicates that Mutant Enemy does
not.
