Rosario Dawson to Star in the Anthology Film “Deepest, Darkest”

Posted on September 12, 2024 by Tom Castaneda

Rosario Dawson has a deepest, darkest secret…

The 45-year-old Puerto Rican and Cuban American actress and activist has joined the cast of Deepest, Darkest, an upcoming anthology film architected by Marc Bernardin and Tiffany Smith, who’s also part of the cast.

Executive produced by Akela Cooper and David Dastmalchian, Deepest, Darkest has invited myriad television writing all-stars behind the lens to tell stories of horror, suspense, dark comedy, and edgy science fiction, each revolving around that most human of impulses: the keeping of secrets.

Directors of the segments include LaToya Morgan, Deric A. Hughes & Benjamin Raab, Ubah Mohamed, Lamont Magee, Sujata Day and Kevin Avery.

Others in the cast include Ernie Hudson, Raymond Lee, Phil LaMarr, Yetide Badaki and Caitlin Bassett, as well as writer-directors Avery and Day.

Stated Dawson on her involvement, “I’m a big fan of… well, I guess I shouldn’t tell you which project I’m working on but all of the writers and directors [on DEEPEST, DARKEST] are amazing, so getting a chance to work with them was an opportunity that I didn’t want to miss.”

A multiple Critics’ Choice Award nominee, Dawson stars on Disney+’s acclaimed Star Wars series Ahsoka, which has a second season in development.

Most recently, she wrapped opposite Alexandra Shipp and Milla Jovovich on Midnight, an action thriller from first-time feature filmmaker Joshua Otis, for which she also served as producer.

Rosario Dawson Among Voice Cast of Netflix’s Animated Series “Terminator Zero”

Posted on June 27, 2024 by Tom Castaneda

Rosario Dawson has zeroed in on a new project…

The 45-year-old Puerto Rican and Cuban American actress and activist has joined the voiceover cast of Terminator Zero, the new animated series for Netflix to be released on August 29.

Dawson will play Kokoro, an advanced AI and Japan’s answer to Skynet. If brought online, Kokoro will be endowed with the same power as Skynet.

Ann Dowd has joined the cast, meantime, as The Prophet, the philosophical guide for the human resistance, a light shepherding survivors in the darkness of the unknown future ahead.

Others joining the cast include André Holland as Malcolm Lee, a genius computer programmer and father of three who is haunted by prophetic nightmares of an apocalyptic future, and Sonoya Mizuno, who will voice Eiko, a resistance fighter sent back in time to stop Malcolm from launching Kokoro.

Terminator Zero features Timothy Olyphant as the Terminator.

Hailing from Japanese animation studio Production IG, the eight-episode series will be part of the Terminator universe but will center around new characters. It will be the first-ever iteration of the franchise to be animated.

The series is set in two time periods. In 2022, a future war has raged for decades between the few human survivors and an endless army of machines. In 1997, the AI known as Skynet gained self-awareness and began its war against humanity.

Caught between the future and this past is a soldier sent back in time to change the fate of humanity. She arrives in 1997 to protect a scientist named Malcolm Lee who works to launch a new AI system designed to compete with Skynet’s impending attack on humanity. As Malcolm navigates the moral complexities of his creation, he is hunted by an unrelenting assassin from the future which forever alters the fate of his three children.

The series comes from Mattson Tomlin, a writer on The Batman II, who serves as showrunner.

Rodrigo Prieto is earning a special award…

The 57-year-old Mexican Oscar-nominated cinematographer will be honored with the 2023 Árbol de la Vida, a lifetime achievement award, at the 13th edition of the GuadaLAjara Film Festival on November 1.

Prieto has garnered worldwide acclaim for his work on various feature films, collaborating with some of cinema’s most vital masters. He has picked up his three Oscar nods for Ang Lee’s Brokeback Mountain (2005) and two with Martin Scorsese — Silence (2016) and The Irishman (2019).

He’s teamed up with the iconic filmmaker again for Killers of the Flower Moon, the story of a group of men that murdered Osage tribe members in the 1920s. The Apple Original Films and Paramount Pictures co-distributed feature stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro and Lily Gladstone.

Prieto also lensed Greta Gerwig’s billion-dollar Mattel meta-comedy Barbie from Warner Bros — now the highest grossing release of 2023.

Rosario Dawson’s latest film will be bringing the fright to Disney+ soon.

Haunted Mansion, starring the 44-year-old Puerto Rican and Cuban American actress and activist, will begin streaming on Disney+ on October 4.

The feature, inspired by the famed theme park ride at Disneyland, Magic Kingdom and Tokyo Disneyland, opened in theaters on July 28.

Directed by Justin Simien and penned by Katie Dippold, the film tells the story of a woman (Dawson) and her son who enlist a motley crew of so-called spiritual experts to help them rid their home of supernatural squatters.

In addition to Dawson, the cast includes LaKeith Stanfield, Tiffany Haddish, Owen Wilson, Danny DeVito, Chase W. Dillon and Daniel Levy, with Jamie Lee Curtis and Jared Leto as The Hatbox Ghost.

Rosario Dawson Among Voice Cast of Immersive Animated Series “Ghosts of Ruin”

Posted on July 23, 2023 by Tom Castaneda

Rosario Dawson is embracing the ruins…

The 44-year-old Puerto Rican and Cuban American actress and activist has been cast in the immersive animated series Ghosts of Ruin.

Dawson is part of a voice cast that includes Nathalie Emmanuel and Tony Revolori on the animated series, which follows a group of gamers as they compete in the first-ever neural reality battle royale game, named “Ruin.” However, a malicious virus appears and transforms their utopia into hell.

Protagonist Lee (Revolori) joins the ranks of the upcoming battle royale thanks to his gaming skills, but the game itself contains a dark and secret entity hunting each of the plays down.

Dawson, who will also be returning as Ahsoka in August, plays badass gaming gunslinger Prism and one of Lee’s fellow contestants. She is described as a standoffish pro gamer with one goal: to be the world’s undisputed champion — will deliver in an upcoming episode. Attendees watched three versions of her character’s quippy dialogue and overwhelmingly voted for option C, which landed the biggest burn against her ex-lover.

Emmanuel will voice Dr. Angela Tucci, who is teased as “a very monumental, pivotal character in the run of the show.”

“I’ve wanted her on the show from the very beginning, because I’m a big fan of hers,” said showrunner Michael Ryan. “She’s amazing. And I think the part she’s playing is so perfect. I can’t wait to record her.”

Ryan also offered a little more detail on who Emmanuel will voice. “She’s pretty much running the neural reality,” he teased. “Everything I’ve watched Nathalie in, her acting is so strong and her sense of presence and strength really comes through and I really think that’s going to be perfect.

Also starring in the show are K-Pop star AleXa, Karen Strassman and John Bentley, as well as Josh Keaton, Justin Long, Cherise Boothe, Harron Atkins, Michael Longfellow and JB Blanc.

“Ghosts of Ruin” will debut this fall via the Gala Film website, the film and TV division of Web3 company Gala. Though no streaming service is attached to the project yet, Battle Island plans to shop the project to other platforms for a wider release.

Disney Releases New Trailer for Rosario Dawson’s “Haunted Mansion”

Posted on July 18, 2023 by Tom Castaneda

More Haunted moments from Rosario Dawson…

Disney has released a new trailer for Haunted Manson, starring the 44-year-old Puerto Rican and Cuban American actress and activist.

“When my son and I moved in here, it wasn’t as warm as we’d hoped,” says Dawson’s character Gabbie.

Directed by Justin Simien, the film follows a woman (Dawson) and her son (Chase W. Dillon) who enlist a motley crew of so-called spiritual experts to help rid their home of supernatural squatters. “It’s time to assemble the Dream Team,” we are told.

LaKeith Stanfield plays a paranormal tour guide, Tiffany Haddish is a psychic, Owen Wilson is a priest, and Danny DeVito is a historian. Daniel Levy also stars, along with Jamie Lee Curtis as the disembodied Madame Leota and Jared Leto as the Hatbox Ghost — and all get some screen time in the new trailer.

Fans of the longtime Disney ride — it opened in 1969 at Disneyland and two years later at Walt Disney World — will recognize the eerie hallways, the stretching room, the ghostly ballroom and the creepy house itself.

“You’re all in for a treat.”

Katie Dippold wrote the Haunted Mansion script, Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich are the producers, and Nick Reynolds and Tom Peitzman serve as executive producers.

Disney earlier had planned to open the filmon March 10, but now it is set to hit theaters on July 28.

Disney+ to Premiere Rosario Dawson’s “Star Wars: Ahsoka” Series in August

Posted on June 7, 2023 by Tom Castaneda

Rosario Dawson is headed to a galaxy far, far away this August…

Disney+ has set August 23 for the premiere of Lucasfilm’s series Star Wars: Ahsoka series, which stars the 44-year-old Puerto Rican and Cuban American actress and activist.

Set after the fall of the Empire, Star Wars: Ahsoka follows the former Jedi Knight Ahsoka Tano (Dawson) as she investigates an emerging threat to a vulnerable galaxy.

The character was co-created by George Lucas and Dave Filoni and made her debut as the Jedi apprentice and foil of Anakin Skywalker in the animated TV series Star Wars: The Clone Wars and also starred in Star Wars: Rebels.

Both of those animated series were co-created Filoni.

She is from the alien species Togruta, who are known for their large montrals and head tails, and colorful pigments.

Dawson made the live-action debut of Ahsoka Tano during the second season of Disney+’s The Mandalorian.

In her Mandalorian debut, Ahsoka informed Mando that Baby Yoda’s real name is Grogu, and that he was raised in a Jedi temple on the planet of Coruscant. When the Empire came to power following the Clone Wars, Grogu became hidden. She refuses to train him as a Jedi, but advises Mando that he take the Child to the planet Tython, where there were strong Jedi forces left from an ancient Jedi temple. It’s there that Grogu meets up with Luke Skywalker who trains him further.

In addition to Dawson in the title role, Ahsoka stars Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Sabine Wren, Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Hera Syndulla, Ray Stevenson as Baylan Skoll, Ivanna Sakhno as Shin Hati, Diana Lee Inosanto as Morgan Elsbeth, David Tennant as Huyang, Lars Mikkelsen as Grand Admiral Thrawn and Eman Esfandi appearing as Ezra Bridger.

The series is written by Dave Filoni, who executive produces alongside Jon Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy, Colin Wilson and Carrie Beck. Karen Gilchrist is co-executive producer.

Disney Releases Teaser Trailer for Rosario Dawson’s “Haunted Mansion”

Posted on March 4, 2023 by Tom Castaneda

Rosario Dawson is ready to thrill…

Disney has released the teaser trailer for Haunted Mansion, its theme park attraction-turned-creepy comedy adventure film starring the 43-year-old Puerto Rican and Cuban American actress and activist.

Justin Simien directs a cast that includes LaKeith Stanfield, Tiffany Haddish, Owen Wilson, Danny DeVito, Dawson, Chase W. Dillon and Dan Levy, with Jamie Lee Curtis and Jared Leto. Kate Dippold wrote the script.

The plot centers on a woman (Dawson) and her son (Dillon) who enlist a motley crew of so-called spiritual experts to help rid their home of supernatural squatters.

The opening shot of the trailer and some hat(box)-tips inside the house will be familiar to all who have been to Disneyland, and the comic-fright balance seems right especially thanks to the vibe put out by Stanfield and Wilson, with Roy Orbison’s “House Without Windows” playing in the background.

Simien introduced the film originally last summer at Comic-Con, where fans saw a fuller trailer for the film based on the ride that debuted at Disneyland in 1969 with characters including Madame Leota, the skeletal Bride and the cloaked Hatbox Ghost. Eddie Murphy starred in a 2003 movie version.

“For me, there was something about that ride I felt was there in the [new] script,” said Simien, who worked at Disneyland one summer and said Haunted Mansion was his favorite ride. “It was funny and full of interesting characters, but with a dark edge to it. I just related to it. It felt I knew how to make it. I love New Orleans and I felt I had a responsibility here to make sure all the little Easter eggs are there.”

Haunted Mansion will hit theaters on July 28.
