Stars: Taysha Farrugia, Kestie Morassi, Darcy Kent, Jennifer Vuletic, Jane Badler, Brett Cousins, Matthew Crosby, Ellie Stewart | Written by David Willing, Beth King | Directed by David Willing
Surrogate begins with Rose (Taysha Farrugia) celebrating her ninth birthday before going to bed. She asks her mother Natalie if they can check for monsters. Natalie tells her there are no such things, which of course means the girl has more to worry about than a jump scare from her Uncle Will.
As she’s leaving the now-closed clinic she has an encounter with a woman who seems to be mentally ill. She encounters the woman again when she stops for gas, this time having to try and save her after she drinks bleach. After this she suddenly develops symptoms that resemble a pregnancy, even waking up bloody from the waist down as though she had given birth, but there’s no baby to be found.

Several months ago, we shared the teaser trailer for the supernatural horror film Surrogate, which stars Kestie Morassi in her return to the horror genre, sixteen years after she crossed paths with serial killer Mick Taylor in Wolf Creek (watch it Here). When we shared that trailer, which is embedded above, a release date hadn’t yet been announced for Surrogate. But now we know when we’re going to have the chance to see the movie. Surrogate will be available to watch – transactional VOD – through Amazon as of September 2nd. Starting September 16th, it will also be available on Tubi and GoogleTV, courtesy of Indie Rights.
David Willing makes his feature directorial debut with Surrogate, working from a screenplay he wrote with Beth King. The film finds Morassi in the role of Natalie Paxton,
a single mother and nurse who is rushed to hospital after suffering massive internal bleeding.

With spots on Mock the Week and Live at the Apollo, you've almost certainly seen Canadian-turned-Brit Katherine Ryan on your TV in the last few years.
If you were in Regent's Park this summer, you may have even seen her on your lunch break. Along with Josh Widdicombe, Ryan performed a set to Londoners at the Volvic Juiced Comedy Event.
"It was wonderful," she told Digital Spy about the show.
"One of my favourite things about living in the UK is having that chance to go to festivals.
"So many festivals all come along and this really felt like an opportunity to bring the festival to the people, right in Regent's Park."
Of her new set Glam Role Model, Ryan said: "We don't have glamour models in Canada at all.
"I mean we do have girls who get their tits out, but it's frowned upon. It's not totally, totally mainstream.

Review Jake Laverde 24 Jul 2013 - 06:40
Jake checks out episode 1 of Pappy's sitcom, Badults, which contains the seed of something great, but has some growing up to do...
This review contains spoilers.
1.1 Money
Badults is the first TV series for acclaimed sketch troupe Pappy's, originally known as Pappy's Fun Club, though it's not their first attempt having piloted a self-titled sketch series and The Mr and Mrs Hotty Hott Hot Show for Channel 4 previously. The premise is that Matthew Crosby, Tom Parry and Ben Clark all live together, joined by childhood friend Rachel, played by Emer Kenny. Older readers may remember fantastic anarchic trio The Goodies and their inspired cartoon flights of fancy. It's that kind of tone Badults is going for.
The working title for Badults was 'The Secret Dude Society'. Though it may seem like an innocuous assortment of words, it also hints at the flaws running through the first episode.

This week's comedy news
Woody Allen has been talking to the New York Times about his desire to make a film with standup comic Louis Ck. The latter has a small role in Allen's forthcoming feature Blue Jasmine, but the part isn't "commensurate with his talent", says Allen. "[So] when I finished this picture, I went into my room and thought, what would be a fun picture? My first thought was: can I come up with something that I could do with Louis Ck? … Some day, I will get something that we could do together, because I do think it would be fun. I'm such a great fan of his."

When Digital Spy recently spoke to Tom Parry - one third of comedy troupe Pappy's (alongside Matthew Crosby and Ben Clark) about their upcoming sitcom Badults, conversation inevitably turned to the group's famous podcasts.
As a creator of the award-winning Pappy's Flatshare Slamdown live panel show and scripted/improv Bangers and Mash, we wanted to know what Tom thought about the success of the format.
> Pappy's talk 'Badults': 'A British version of an American sitcom'
"I was really surprised," said Parry. "Matthew was a really big podcast fan and was always saying we should do a podcast.
"I was game for it because what I like about podcasts is that they're so Diy. The great thing about comedy is that it's Diy.
"If you want to go into theatre you have to set up a theatre company, you need a budget, you need to get people to support you so you can go and perform.

Gervais collaborator gets his own TV pilot, Pegg's Comic-Con costume fetish causes offence, and Russell Brand wants to be a vicar ... so it seems
Best of the week's news
Stephen Merchant is working on his own TV project – his first outside of his partnership with Ricky Gervais. The lanky star is to write and appear in a pilot entitled Hello Ladies, based on his 2011 standup tour of the same name. The pilot – like the standup show – will focus on Merchant's supposed cackhandedness with the opposite sex, and will shoot later this year, according to Deadline. Merchant (who will also executive produce) has written the episode with Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, both former writers on the Us version of The Office. Eisenberg and Stupnitsky also worked on the comedy films Year One and Bad Teacher.
Lovers of comedy, look away now: Russell Crowe is to direct a biopic of Bill Hicks.
