New Channel 4 comedy Loaded is a very funny look at male friendship, money and success, with a strong cast and real depth…
When I meet the cast of Channel 4’s Loaded, it’s at the tail-end of a stretch of interviews during which Samuel Anderson, Nick Helm, Jim Howick and Jonny Sweet have been asked approximately four times an hour what, if they each suddenly received £15m as their app-designing characters do in the show, they’d spend it on. Before I even sit down, Sweet starts to reel off “I’d get a kettle, fill it with gold…”

Playing in a select number of Texas theaters, is William Instone’s directorial debut, Jon. Surely, the name is coincidental to me, Killer Film’s Senior Writer, but hey, Jon is a serial killer film with my name, you damn right it piqued my curiosity. Joking aside, Killer Film catches up with writer/director William Instone and we chat about the independent film. Read on!
Jon: Can you explain the origins of Jon?
William Instone: Yeah, that’s a good story man. It’s based off of a real character, a real friend of mine. Jon Sloan is the character’s name, and of course, a toilet is named a John and the name Sloan was came to me when I was taking a leak. The idea came from a short I wanted to do about a guy picking up a drag queen. It just grew from there,...

Everyone needs to experience some indie horror in their life. It can be an adventure and one may regret it later. Sometimes though, it is worth the risk. With regards to the independent film world, the horror genre seems to attract the most creativity. Mainly because the filmmakers are not blessed with the budget and equipment all the major studio productions are privy to. Although, the latest batch of studio produced horror have been lacking something. That said, in this genre, less is more, and that seems to be the formula the creators of Jon executed. Here’s what writer/director William Instone had to say about his first film effort… “For my debut [...]...

While I’m sure there are people who all thought I would go off and slice and dice fools, the indie slasher Jon is in no relation to me, Killer Film’s senior writer. Premiering soon (February 12th) in select Texan theaters, writer/director William Instone will make his debut. The plot you ask? “Jon Sloan, a socially challenged computer engineer doesn’t have any luck with the ladies. A desperate loner looking for love, Jon finds himself the constant victim of rejection from the local bar girls. In a state of depression Jon questions his sanity as he begins seeing a large man in black through out his daily life that he recognizes, but can’t place who the man is.

Last night's posts coming out of Twitter-Wood were full of glamorous party shots from around San Diego and photo ops with cosplayers from Comic-Con. James Gunn for instance checked out some "Tron" costumes, while David Wain got detained by a couple of Stormtroopers.
Things were going on outside Comic-Con as well, though. Demi Moore took a pic with her "Lol" co-star Miley Cyrus. Bret Easton Ellis laughed at "Inception," and Rich Sommer went to a "Simpsons" read-through. You'll find those retweets and info on who had dinner with Ellen Page after the jump.
I'm @brianwarmoth, and this is Twitter-Wood for July 23, 2010.

Jon Favreau confirmed earlier this year that he included the revered Hollywood sound sample "The Wilhelm Scream" in "Iron Man 2," but last night on Twitter, he stopped short of revealing where it ended up. I'm going to to see it tonight and see if I can figure it out. In the meantime, give it a listen, and report back here if you can identify the scene.
In other tweets, Lloyd Kaufman weighed in on the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. He also expressed disgust on the part of the Toxic Avenger. Rachelle Lefevre is helping Oprah out this weekend, and Alison Brie posted a pic from her "Community" rehearsal. You can give that a look after the jump along with Larry King's photo op with Betty White. It's all Twitter-Wood for May 7, 2010.
