Mann, Dushku and Save Crack Thacker Case

Gabriel Mann, Eliza Dushku and John Savage are set to star in the indie film The Thacker Case, based on the real-life 1983 wrongful death case of Kevin Thacker.

Robert Dean Klein wrote the screenplay based on the story written by attorney Stuart Pepper. Brian Jun is directing.

The story centers on around the mysterious death of repeat drunk driving offender Thacker and the discovery of his body in an alley behind the Marshalltown, Iowa, police department after his latest DUI arrest.

Mann will play Pepper, a young up-and-coming attorney who launches his career by landing the controversial case, which required him to wade through law enforcement corruption and cover-ups. Ultimately, Pepper gained national attention from the case.

Dushku will play Monica Wright, a young attorney and Pepper's loyal assistant.

Savage will play Thomas Thacker, Kevin's father, who enlists the help of Pepper to discover the truth behind his son's death.

Shooting began this week in Los Angeles and Iowa.

"Buffy" veterans playing in "Dollhouse" at Fox

"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" creator Joss Whedon is returning to television with "Dollhouse," a sci-fi project starring "Buffy" alumna Eliza Dushku.

The project has received a seven-episode commitment from Fox. It marks Whedon's first TV project since his short-lived 2002 Fox drama "Firefly."

Dushku plays Echo, a member of a group of men and women who are imprinted with different personalities for different assignments. In between tasks they are mind-wiped, living like children in Dollhouse, a futuristic dorm/lab. They have no memories of their previous lives, until Echo begins to try to find out who she was.

"Joss has been my favorite friend, genius, ally and confidant in the business since I was 17," said Dushku, now 26, who also will serve as a producer on the project. "It's incredible how much energy and excitement I have for this; I can't wait to be this Echo character."

"Dollhouse" came out of a lunch between Whedon and Dushku in September, shortly after the actress had signed a development deal with Fox and sibling studio 20th Century Fox TV. Whedon was giving her advice about writers and types of shows that might be good for her, but he wasn't interested in venturing into TV himself because he was trying to get a couple of movie projects off the ground at the time.

"In the middle of the conversation, I went, 'Oh, God. I thought of the show, and I had the title,"' Whedon said.

Dushku came on board immediately. Within a week, the show was set up at Fox. (source)

Also, EOnline.com has a great Q&A with Joss and Eliza up on their website.

Five raise a glass to 'Bottle' pic

Chris Pine, Rachael Taylor, Eliza Dushku, Bill Pullman and Alan Rickman are toasting "Bottle Shock," a drama about the birth of the Napa Valley wine industry from filmmaker Randall M. Miller.

Set in the 1970s, the film is based on the true story of the Montelena Winery, which won an international wine-tasting competition and put the California region on the vino map.

Pine portrays the son of the vineyard owner who saves the winery and represents Napa in the French tasting, while Taylor plays a university student who interns at the winery.

Dushku acts as a local bartender, and Pullman is the owner of the run-down winery who clashes with his son.

Rickman is an Englishman who runs L'Academie du Vin in Paris and is the chief architect of the blind-tasting challenge that results in an upset victory for the American vintages.

The script was written by Miller and Jody Savin from an original script by Ross Schwartz. Savin also is producing along with Marc Toberoff and J. Todd Harris of IPW.

IPW raised the financing for the film, which begins shooting Aug. 1 in Napa and Sonoma.

Miller, an actor-turned director, is best known for writing, directing and producing 2005's ensemble musical "Marilyn Hotchkiss Ballroom Dancing & Charm School."

Pine, repped by SDB Partners and John Carrabino Management, is shooting "Small Town Saturday Night." The project by writer-director Ryan Craig was initially set up at the Sundance Producers Lab in 2006. Pine will next be seen in Paramount Vantage's "Carriers," due out early next year, and recently starred in the Neil LaBute play "Fat Pig" at the Geffen Playhouse.

Taylor can be seen in the summer hit "Transformers" and recently wrapped the horror film "Shutter" opposite Joshua Jackson. She is repped by WMA and Marquee in Australia.

Gersh-repped Dushku next stars in the indie crime drama "The Alphabet Killer" while Pullman, repped by One Entertainment, recently appeared in the crime comedy "You Kill Me."

Rickman, repped by Endeavor and ICM London, is on screen as Severus Snape in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" and will next be seen in Tim Burton's "Sweeney Todd." (source)
