Corey Haim interviewed on ET Canada for American Sunset

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

This was also covered the day of release in the Daily Gleaner (Article copy below).

A locally shot movie is getting major attention tonight.

Entertainment Tonight Canada is to air clips from its interviews with actors Corey Haim and Frank Molina, who star in the film American Sunset, as well as with producer Jackie Giroux. The interviews took place in Los Angeles on July 14.

Parts of the movie were shot in Fredericton and Kings Landing.

American Sunset is described by the producers as a “suspense-filled turnstile” about a man battling his emotional demons amidst his wife’s abduction.

Haim plays Tom, an artist on the edge as the police are unable to help find his wife Samantha, played by Angela Cullins. He hires an ex-soldier back from Iraq, Arturo, played by Molina to help.

The film was shot by Global Universal Inc., which last year completed principal photography in the Fredericton region on a film entitled Blue Seduction, starring Billy Zane and Estelle Warren.

Giroux, who’s from New Brunswick, produced both films. She has expressed a desire to continue working here.

“Being from New Brunswick, I know the potential to establish a vibrant presence is here and offers a great source of revenue for this province” she said.

American Sunset will be released this fall on Pay TV, cable or DVD.

Bernard Robichaud – A rebel with a cause

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

bernie-robichaud-tpb-sm1You know what it’s like when you run into an athlete in public and in street clothes they look different “” that headhunting linebacker for the TiCats looks like an accountant and is not at all like you imagine him to be. The same thing goes for a lot of celebrities, politicians, and actors. But this is definitely not the case should you have a chance encounter with ‘Cyrus’ of the Trailer Park Boys. He looks the part almost all the time “” minus of course, the leather, guns, girls on each arm and making life hell for the TPB gang.

At 6?1?, 205 pounds, Bernie Robichaud is intimidating enough in casual attire, and creates space by just being there. He carries himself with a carriage of confidence and coolness that comes with the knowledge and experience of handling a given situation. It’s easy to see how he was cast as the character Cyrus just by conversing with him.

He can articulate with the best of them but to emphasize a point he reverts to his street roots and is apt to conclude a discussion on complicated regulations by saying “Bullshit! That’s crap and you know it!”

He listens intently to what he’s being asked, seems to be measuring the question’s worth before answering and stares directly with an intensity that is almost a glare. You get the feeling that if he wasn’t working a lot as Cyrus on TPB and life had turned just a bit he could have ended up exactly the same, only as the real deal.

So the secret to success is to develop a character based on your life, pitch it to a hit TV show and you’re in, right? Wrong! Robichaud’s road to obtaining recognition is so unorthodox it’s hard to put any sort of label on. The first indication of this is the fact he took up acting at the age of 25 after spending a transient, troubled adolescence to say the least…. READ MORE
