I know I promised a massive gallery update but that didn’t quite happen. You all will just have to take my word that it will happen soon enough. But to make it up to you I did upload some exclusive behind the scenes photos from RENT, and by exclusive I mean taken by a good friend or purchased so let’s give credit where it’s due people aight? Aight.I am also well aware of the problems within the gallery, just please be patient and trust I’ll get to it eventually. Enjoy! And remember to go see This Revolution starting tonight if you’re in the New York area.

The infamous film that got Rosario Dawson arrested last year is finally premiering in New York for one week only. The first showing is tomorrow at the Two Boots Pioneer Theater in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Tickets are $6.50 for members, students, and seniors (please bring ID), and $9 for everyone else. You can purchase tickets online at the Two Boots website. Synopsis: “Shot during the 2004 Republican convention, THIS REVOLUTION is a low-budget high-impact thriller for the political set. The story follows Jake (Nathan Crooker), a network war shooter just back from Iraq who is assigned to cover the run-up to the RNC. When he meets and falls in love with Tina Santiago (Rosario Dawson), a young mother widowed after her husband was killed in Iraq, Jake is forced to question his world view. But it is not until he discovers his network has given his videotape of an anarchist Black Bloc group to Homeland Security that Jake decides to take action.”(click below for more information on the film)

“Sounds like Rosario Dawson is taking a walk on the wild side — and then some — in an edgy indie picture she’s set to start shooting in mid-September in New York. Called ‘Descent,’ it’ll have the one-time ‘Josie and the Pussycats’ cutie playing a college girl who appears destined for success. She’s smart, focused, and of course, beautiful. However, tempted into some daring party situations by friends, she discovers she has quite a taste for the taboo.She gets involved with a guy who’s a club DJ and lives in what is described as the surreal world of underground clubs, music, drugs and promiscuity.She also gets involved with a good-looking jock — who proves to have a sadistic side.Sounds like every parent’s nightmare of what could happen when their daughter goes off to school! But, it ought to afford Dawson some great opportunity to show her acting chops — and, uh, more. The film is planned to contain what they’re calling ‘artistic nudity.’ Casting is now underway. “[ SOURCE ]
