If you watch the trailer for Clint Eastwood’s upcoming biographical/drama Invictus, it might just make you read the book it’s based on, Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Made a Nation. Directed by Clint Eastwood, the film, staring Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon, tells the inspiring true story of how Nelson Mandela ( Freeman) joined forces with the captain of South Africa’s rugby team, Francois Pienaar (Damon), to help unite their country. Newly elected President Mandela knows his nation remains racially and economically divided in the wake of apartheid.  Believing he can bring his people together through the universal language of sport, Mandela rallies South Africa’s underdog rugby team as they make an unlikely run to the 1995 World Cup Championship match.  Re-teaming with Eastwood, the behind-the-scenes creative team is led by director of photography Tom Stern, production designer James J. Murakami, editors Joel Cox and Gary D. Roach, and costume designer Deborah Hopper, all of whom most recently worked with the director on Gran Torino.

Actor Paul Anthony took some time to talk a little about his upcoming horror/comedy Suck, A rock’n’roll vampire spoof about a down and out band, The Winners, who will do anything for a record deal. When their disgruntled manager tells them that they are getting “long in the tooth”, he doesn’t know that his words are truly prophetic. During a road trip, their humdrum image radically changes when Jennifer, the bass player, disappears one night with a hip vampire. She emerges with a sexually charged charisma that drives the audiences wild. As the band members succumb, one by one, to blood lust, their “gimmick” launches them into the limelight. In the interview with Anthony he talks about the plot of the upcoming film, working with a star studded cast including Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop, Malcolm McDowell, Dave Foley, Henry Rollins and Moby and how he was cast in the role of Tyler.

“…I didn’t know how to play guitar before the film, and the only thing holding Rob back from casting me, was that he wanted an actual guitar player” said Anthony “it was important for me to learn guitar, I was just a little freaked out I wouldn’t be able to do it …”
