"Home" official website, trailer, pictures
Posted: 2008-06-21

It's been a while since there had been news on the making of "Home", a drama directed by Mary Haverstick about a mother battling with cancer and her relationship to her daughter. Now, the official website for "Home" has been launched with lots of information, such as a full synopsis and the trailer, which looks very promising.


"Home" is the story about a woman and her young daughter, which is set in the 1960s. Marcia Gay Harden plays Inga, who, before the film begins, had a mastectomy after being diagnosed with breast cancer. “It’s set in 1969, so breast cancer was a much more intense, private experience,” says Haverstick. “Her future is unknown and she is grappling with the issue of whether she will see her daughter grow up.” The story looks at Inga’s problems with addiction and trying to break family patterns of abuse. "Home" will further mark the motion picture debut of Marcia's eldest daughter Eulala.

Added nearly 200 screencaptures of Marcia's performance in the 2007 drama comedy "The Hoax", co-starring Richard Gere and Alfred Molina. The film is really to be recommended, great story and performances, although it took some time to get familiar with Marcia and her blonde wig (she played Gere's Swiss wife ;-).

Marcia Gay Harden Building "The Tower"
Posted: 2008-06-15

Article courtesy CBS News: The employees in the newsroom looked nervous. The writers, editors and other veteran journalists were gathered around a small podium at the CBSNews.com newsroom at the CBS Broadcast Center Thursday. They waited anxiously for their new boss, Zoe Cafritz, to address them. When she got there, she read them the riot act. Luckily for the people who actually work at CBSNews.com, Zoe Cafritz isn't actually the new boss and the "journalists" listening to her speech were extras. The meeting was a scene from the CBS Paramount Network Television pilot "The Tower."


Actress Marcia Gay Harden plays the tough-talking new boss. "She's a billionaire media mogul tabloid owner," the Oscar-winner told The ShowBuzz after shooting wrapped for the day. "She has bought recently two newspapers and the one she's about to acquire is a prestigious one." The show follows a group of reporters as they investigate stories and solve mysteries against the backdrop of the struggle between journalistic ideals and the pursuit of profit. Cafritz wants to drop the "boring" articles and add some glitz and spice to her new paper. She isn't afraid to use vulgar language to get her point across to the staff. Harden says she was drawn to the role for three reasons. "One, I'm a CBS devotee. I've worked with CBS many times and I really love it, and two she's a strong woman and I thought it was a character you rarely get a chance to do on television," she said. "And three, I think the issues that 'The Tower' is investigating are extraordinarily important, it's never been a more hot, explosive, fantastic time for politics, for the hugest question: Can we go into the new era with some old world values?' Really old world values about things that would help us survive and move forward in a really humanistic way. I think that's one of the questions that this show is investigating." "The Tower" also stars Rosamund Pike, Cole Hauser and CCH Pounder.
