Additional Casting on John Carpenter's GHOSTS OF MARS

Hey folks, Harry here with a cool tidbit that I got from AICN reader, SPIKE, that dropped me a heads up pointing me to HoleMusic.Com and an interview with Courtney Love which included details about John Carpenter's GHOSTS OF MARS. In addition to the names you see below, I know that Jason Stratham from one of my faves LOCK,STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS. Those of you that hang out in Live Chat know that my beard has been shaved off in order to do a full head and shoulders lifecast of me. Tom Joad and Father Geek filmed the entire process, which due to the gigantic size of my head, took longer than expected. In all there's about an hour and 15 minutes of footage... detailing the entire process of creating a professional lifecast of a semi-human head. Now, Joad and I are going to get set to fully edit this baby together into a full length documentary about the casting of that head in the corner. And as a feature on the multimedia part of the site coming up, I was pondering if you folks would like to see, in order, the entire process as it took place... with say... one or two minutes of it a day. At the end of it, you would have seen a complete in real time head casting. But I'll only do that if I get some interest in that. If we were to start... we wouldn't begin for probably a week and a half or so. I'm also delighted to see that my head will be appearing in another Clea Duvall film... she must love me. I know it's true. hehehehe... Here's what Courtney had to say...

Q: What are you working on next?

A: I just started writing songs in New York and I've completed about six, and I'm doing rehearsals and reading for my John Carpenter movie with Ice Cube (who had a baby today) tomorrow. I have to work out every day for four hours, and I want to squeeze in time with Sam and Eric this week for more songs as I'm rehearsing.

They cast Clea Duvall (who was in Girl, Interrupted) and Joanna Cassidy (from Blade Runner)(HARRY NOTE: Dolores aka Eddie Valiant's girlfriend from WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT), and I think Pam Grier (from Jackie Brown), so it's a really cool cast. I'm gonna try and see if Cube will teach me how to signify. I'll teach him the break in "In the Evening" if he teaches me the OG way to say "yo."
