Jane Sibbett voices role in "Charlotte's Web"

The childhood favorite "Charlotte's Web" is getting a new screen take in 2006 (the original film was in 1973), and this new take will feature one of our "Santa Barbara" alums, Jane Sibbett, who once played the lovely Jane Wilson -- and the more-vivacious Roxanne.

The lively tale, about a pig named Wilbur and his efforts to avoid becoming dinner-table fare, has an amazingly all-star cast that includes Dakota Fanning, Julia Roberts, Oprah Winfrey, Robert Redford and many more. Sibbett voices Joy in the movie. It's directed by Gary Winick from a screenplay by Susannah Grant and Karey Kirkpatrick.

Sibbett lives on a farm these days and has tried her own hand at screenwriting.

Billy Dee Williams stars in Snoop Dogg film

Billy Dee Williams will be hitting the screen with rap star Snoop Doggy Dogg in 2006. "Hood of Horror" is classified as "a hip-hop horror anthology," according to the IMDb. Williams, our own Brady Lloyd of "Dynasty," plays Pastor Charlie in the film, directed by Stacy Title. The Snoopster serves as executive producer of the movie, which also stars "Seinfeld" alum Jason Alexander.

Williams has, in recent years, co-authored a science-fiction novel, "PSI/Net," and, when BRB interviewed him back in 1999, he had just been working with a website, Art in the Dark, to showcase his paintings. Looks like the site no longer exists, though you can still find the book on Amazon.

Another interesting little tidbit, by the way, from the IMDb: Williams and his "Dynasty" costar, Diahann Carroll, attended the New York City High School for the Performing Arts together.

A Martinez, Patrick Duffy ride into "Desolation Canyon"

Meow! It's a BRBTV double-hitter! The Hallmark Channel will set our tongues a-waggin' this July with its brand-new movie "Desolation Canyon," which will star not only the hotter-than-hot A Martinez shown here (Cruz Castillo on "SB") but also the ever-handsome Patrick Duffy, shown below (Bobby Ewing of "Dallas")!

Hallmark provided BRBTV with these details on the film, which will air on Saturday, July 1:

"Two longtime friends, a retired lawman and an ex-gunman, have their friendship tested when they join forces to hunt down the gunman’s son, a bank-robber who has kidnapped his own son from his mother in 'Desolation Canyon.'

"Golden Globe winner Stacy Keach stars as Samuel Kendrick, a retired gunfighter living in an isolated cabin in Desolation Canyon with his common law wife. Patrick Duffy stars as Sheriff Tomas “Swede” Lundstrom, an old friend who fought with Sam on the Union side in the Civil War where Sam first earned his reputation as a deadeye shot. Following the war, both wild young men rode with an outlaw gang, but have subsequently reformed with Swede switching to the right side of the law. The two men are reunited on a mission to track down Sam’s estranged outlaw son, Johnny Kendrick, in an effort to save him from deeper trouble and possibly a violent death.

"The skillful old gunman leads the hunt for his son, hoping to keep him alive. Danger looms as the men become trapped by the outlaw gang that Johnny is riding with."

Martinez stars as a Mexican Army captain named Arturo Zetta, who tracks the outlaw gang. Kenneth Johnson, Kelly Overton and Courtney Gains also star in the gritty drama.

“Desolation Canyon” is produced by Robert Halmi, Jr. and Larry Levinson, directed by David S. Cass Sr. and written by Dan Fitzsimons.

Jack Coleman, the second Steven Carrington of "Dynasty," will star in the TV movie "Cow Belles," airing on the Disney Channel on March 24.

Al Corley, executive producer of "Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon"

He isn't doing a whole lot of acting these days, but he can still be found behind the scenes. Al Corley, the original (and hottest!) Steven Carrington of "Dynasty," serves as executive producer of "Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon," a horror film directed by Scott Glosserman. It's been in post-production for more than a year, according to the IMDb. The plotline: "The next great psycho horror slasher has given a documentary crew exclusive access to his life as he plans his reign of terror over the sleepy town of Glen Echo, all the while deconstructing the conventions and archetypes of the horror genre for them." The movie stars Robert Englund of "Nightmare on Elm Street" fame.

Marc Singer stars in new "V" miniseries

Sources say it's been stalled by the network and is not coming out until 2007, but you never know, with these things ... The newest installment in the "V" alien saga, "V: The Second Generation," is going to star Marc Singer, our own Matt Cantrell of "Dallas" (and a star of many, many other productions over the years). Directed and written by Kenneth Johnson, the miniseries is designed as a sequel to the popular 1983-84 sci-fi miniseries. The plotline from the IMDb: "Twenty years after their arrival on Earth, the Visitors have deeply entrenched themselves on the planet, enslaving the human race, turning them into followers. The Resistance is losing the war with their alien masters until they gain a powerful and mysterious new ally." Singer reprises the role of Mike Donovan and is joined by former "V" castmates Jane Badler and Faye Grant.

(In-between his stints in the "Beastmaster" films and other stuff, BRBTV very much enjoyed Singer as the voice of Man-Bat / Kirk Langstrom in the groundbreaking "Batman: The Animated Series.")

Gordon Thomson in "Poseidon" remake

Gordon Thomson, who once shared "Dynasty" scenes as a sibling with Pamela Sue Martin, will be starring in the remake of one of her most famous films, 1972's "The Poseidon Adventure." The remake, titled simply, "Poseidon," is now finishing up production and scheduled for a May 12, 2006 release. Though Martin says on her official website that she was not asked to do a cameo in the 2006 remake, she does do a special featurette for the new deluxe DVD release of the original, which will coincide with the remake's release (got all that? whew!).

Thomson, meanwhile (stunning, as well, playing the third and final Mason Capwell on our beloved "Santa Barbara"), will play the character Jay in the "Poseidon" remake, about an ocean-liner full of people who must fight their way out when the ship capsizes. The film is directed by Wolfgang Petersen (who did "The Perfect Storm" and "Outbreak") from a script by Paul Attanasio and Akiva Goldsman, adapted from a novel by Paul Gallico. The film also stars Kurt Russell, Josh Lucas and Richard Dreyfuss.

You can view the trailer of the remake on the IMDb's page for the film:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0409182/

Constance Marie has an "Easier, Softer Way"

If you've been enjoying the "SB" Pebble Creek Reunion Series at BarbarianTV.com (thanks Elena, Kimmah, FrenchBubbly and the crew for bring us these great "SB" videos!), you've been seeing the spicy, smitten Nikki Alvarez pursuing the hot Cruz Castillo. Next up for the busy Constance Marie, who currently stars as Angie Lopez in the "George Lopez" sitcom on ABC, is the film "Easier, Softer Way," scheduled for 2006 release. (The film is directed by Mekhi Phifer, whom BRBTV thinks just rocked in the Detroit-based "8 Mile." Phifer also stars in this one.) Marie plays a character named Montana. The movie's logline from the IMDb: "Tired of being on the wagon, two stoners get voluntarily mixed up in the plot to rip off a shady figure known as Mr. Big."

In other "SB" news: The lovely Robin Wright Penn was up for a Screen Actors Guild Award last night for her role in "Empire Falls," but -- alas -- did not win. Rats!

Ouch! John Schneider, what next?

*SPOILER WARNING* if you haven't seen last night's episode of a certain popular WB show!

Yikes -- BRBTV is draped in black this morning (OK, OK, this blog always has a black background!) for the loss of Jonathan Kent on one of our very favorite shows in the whole wide world, the WB's "Smallville." Fans of "The Dukes of Hazzard," though, will just want to know what John Schneider has going on next. Schneider's publicist tells BRBTV that there's "nothing on the horizon yet," and we'll keep ya posted, if that changes ...

Anyone who saw Schneider in last night's episode experienced a major "psyche"! The previews for the show seemed to steer everything in the direction of a fatal car crash for Lana. And yes, she did indeed die in the episode's first half, but then the writers took a twisty-turny-thingy to have Clark appeal to Jor-El at the Fortress and actually turn back time! (No, not by flying around the globe like Christopher Reeve did in the Superman movies, but we wondered if that was coming! The episode did feature that whole turning-coal-into-a-diamond thing, after all!) So Clark was able to save Lana -- unwittingly at the cost of his own father! And we have to admit, Pa Kent did become a bit of a liability when he actually won the senatorial race early on in the episode, because we just don't remember that from the comics! Of course, "Smallville" certainly doesn't follow the continuum of the comics and movies, exactly. But it now follows a particular aspect of the Superman lore, in the fact that Pa Kent is no longer with us. (ABC's 1990s "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman," for instance, left Pa Kent alive during Clark's Daily Planet years.)

We moan and groan and mourn the absence of a brilliant actor (whom our viewing companion last night, by the way, said really did a great death scene). And we hope this talent -- a talent we saw so young and fresh as a teen in the General Lee back in 1979 -- will have another project coming up soon.

Take the "Roads Back to Hazzard"!

If you're not already in Georgia, then you better make plans to be! The Hazzard County Car Club (www.dukesofhazzard01.com) invites you to take those dusty old "Roads Back to Hazzard" with a tour of the original Georgia filming sites of "The Dukes of Hazzard."

It'll be about 50 sites over 87 miles of country, event organizer Jon Holland tells BRBTV. It'll include fun stuff like the original Boar's Nest (now a church! holy cow!) and the town square in Covington, used as the downtown setting for Hazzard in those first five episodes that filmed in Georgia. The big day is Saturday, March 4, with a special trip to where the show's original mechanics hang out on Sunday, March 4 (you know they had to have some good mechanics, to keep all those '69 Dodge Chargers runnin'). The registration and check-in are at the Holiday Inn Conyers, 8 a.m. on Saturday, then we'll all meet back there at 7 p.m. BRB will be there to sign copies of the brand-spankin'-new print version of the "Them Dukes! Them Dukes!" book! We'll also watch the first two "Dukes of Hazzard" episodes, on a 1979 tape (with commercials), for old time's sake, and there'll be raffles and auctions of great stuff like authentic General Lee and sheriff's car doors.

A cool $35 entry fee will help out the Rainbow Ministries Charity, which Jon tells us helps out many needy people in the community.

Who knows -- if lots of y'all show up, maybe this will become yearly, like a second DukesFest! We're sure Ben Jones won't mind!

Emma Samms returns to "GH"!!!

Holy guacamole, it's a grand-ole heyday reunion for ABC's "General Hospital," when Luke Spencer, Robert Scorpio and Holly Sutton Scorpio share the screen once again! Our own (second) Fallon of "Dynasty," the lovely, oh-so English, buxom Emma Samms, will reprise her role as Holly on the daytime soap on February 20. Tristan Rogers' character Robert will be returning tomorrow, and the captivating quick-as-a-whip Tony Geary as Luke ... well, he's just been there, 'bless him!

Those of us who watched "GH" in its late-'70s/early-'80s glory days, the days of Luke and Laura and the Ice Princess and Mikos Cassadine and cameos by Liz (sorry, that's Elizabeth) Taylor (and the young'uns Demi Moore and Janine Turner as Jackie and Laura Templeton -- oh, but we do digress!), remember well the delicate young flower of Holly Sutton, before Samms went to Denver to play a kinder, gentler Fallon back from the dead. This new stint in Port Chuck has Holly back in town just in time for a big health epidemic.

Samms reprised her "GH" role in the early '90s, as well. Samms will return in the 11,000th episode of "GH." You can check out the full official word from ABC here:

Happy DVD Release Day: "Dallas," Season 4!

The fourth season of "Dallas" officially released on DVD today, which is certainly cause for celebration. It was an amazing No. 38 in DVD sales ranking when BRBTV checked in with Amazon today!

This third DVD in the series (the first and second seasons are combined) features 23 episodes on four double-sided DVDs. It begins with the aftermath of the Shot Heard 'Round the World, continues on with the resolution to that famous cliffhanger. Sue Ellen's drinking takes center stage, and the whomper of a revelation about Ray Krebbs' parentage emerges (and we sweep under the rug that whole rolling-in-the-hay thing with Lucy in Season 1). Pam searches for her mother, Lucy and Mitch get hitched (as do Donna and Ray) and Dusty Farlow pops up in again. This was certainly our beloved "Dallas" swinging in full, fine form!

Click here to see it on Amazon.

Busy, busy Robin Wright Penn

Talented and aesthetically stunning -- how can Robin Wright Penn go wrong? We all knew it when she starred so young as C.C. Capwell's original "kitten" Kelly on "Santa Barbara." Now, she's got a nice slate of projects on the horizon, according to the IMDb:

- "The Night Job," originally scheduled for a 2005 release but listed as in production. Penn will play Iris Hellington in this thriller directed by John McNaughton and also starring Ray Liotta and Marisa Tomei.
- "Untitled Ernest Hemingway Project," scheduled for release this year, though it's been stalled for a couple years. She's playing Martha Gellhorn, love interest to the late great Hemingway, played by James Gandolfini.
- "Hounddog," also scheduled for a 2006 release, a Dakota Fanning vehicle about a young girl "on a dark and mysterious journey through the rural South who finds her angel in the Blues," the IMDb says.
- "Breaking and Entering," also on tap for this year, starring Juliette Binoche and Jude Law. Penn will play Liv in the drama, written and directed by Anthony Minghella of "Cold Mountain" fame.
- "Beowulf," based on the epic poem and scheduled for 2007. The fantasy is directed by Robert Zemeckis and also stars Anthony Hopkins and Angelina Jolie. Neil Gaiman, big name in the comic-book world for his "Sandman," lends a hand with the writing and producing.

Duffy's son Conor also stars in the film, directed by Armand Mastroianni.

Pamela Sue Martin appears in 'The L Word'

Pamela Sue Martin, the feisty Fallon (original!) on "Dynasty," who's been awfully quiet these past several years (and that is awful, isn't it?) will do a guest shot on the TV series "The L Word." The series, now in its third season on Showtime, chronicles the lives of a group of lesbians living in Los Angeles and stars Jennifer Beals. Martin's character is named Linda Kennard, and the episode airs Sunday, February 5.

Morgan Brittany's next project: "Americanizing Shelley"

Morgan Brittany, the smart 'n' sassy sophisticate Katherine Wentworth on "Dallas," will be appearing in the movie "Americanizing Shelley," which began filming late last year. Brittany will play a character named Georgina in the romantic comedy, directed by Lorraine Senna (who did some "Dynasty" directing over the years, as well).

The logline for the movie at the imdb.com: "A wannabe Hollywood player sets out to Americanize an Indian girl from the Himalayas."

Beau Bridges and "Star Trek: The Next Generation"'s Wil Wheaton also star, along with the son and namesake of basketball great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
