Robert Englund and the ‘Dream Warriors’ Cast Are Doing a Live Reading of the Script in LA!
With less than two weeks left to showtime, we’ve been informed that there are only about two dozen tickets remaining for Robert Englund & The Dream Warriors: Celebrating a Nightmare, a live stage reading of the Dream Warriors script to be performed at 1:00PM on Sunday, September 8th, 2019 at the world-famous Whisky a Go Go in Los Angeles, California.
Produced by and starring Nightmare 3 actors HEATHER LANGENKAMP (Nancy) and IRA HEIDEN (Will), the cast boasts a number of other returning players including RODNEY EASTMAN (Joey), BRADLEY GREGG (Phillip), PENELOPE SUDROW (Jennifer), BROOKE BUNDY (Mrs. Parker) – and, of course, ROBERT ENGLUND as Freddy Krueger.
Additional roles will be played by actors from the Elm Street legacy including AMANDA WYSS (the original Elm Street), TUESDAY KNIGHT and BROOKE THEISS (The Dream Master), as well as other “friends” of the series. The stage directions will be narrated by Dream Warriors director CHUCK RUSSELL.
The intimate experience is limited to 40 VIP tickets and 65 General Admission tickets.
Proceeds from the event will go to benefit Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to helping teens and transforming lives since 1942.
Described as “Ted meets ET,” David Mikalson’s raunchy comedy Goblin is being brought to life over at A24, and Will Forte (“The Four Seasons”) is now in talks to star.
Deadline first reported the news this afternoon.
Kenneth Branagh has been cast to voice the titular Goblin in the upcoming A24 movie, with the character said to be “green-colored” as well as “anatomically correct.”
Skyler Gisondo (Superman) is reportedly playing the Goblin’s human best friend.
The mysterious project sounds a bit like films including A Gnome Named Gnorm and more recently, Frankie Freako, though it’s important to note that it’s not billed as a horror movie.
Deadline details, “After [Mikalson] hatched the idea to make an outrageous buddy comedy about a goblin, using a practical puppet and operating outside the Hollywood system, his script quickly got him a rep team. While others might have eyed the raunchy comedy as a writing sample or planned to wait to see the micro-budget version Mikalson has been directing in Kentucky, A24 jumped all over it. The hot indie essentially has agreed to finance a full feature.”
“There was a lot of interest, but A24 came with what Mikalson really wanted, after spending all his money crafting the puppet title character: they acquired the movie and agreed to let him make it with a significantly increased budget than what he had left after creating the anatomically correct title character,” Deadline’s report goes on to explain.
What does the titular Goblin actually look like? Well, a cake that Mikalson had whipped up for his reps might give us our first look at what to expect. Deadline explains the photo you’ll see down below, “Take a look at the cake he commissioned with Marc Gravelle at Cake Art in West Hollywood, to present to his reps as thanks for making his dream come true.”
