 Wet Wolf

Southern California got some much-needed rainfall this week. While it was good for the ongoing drought, it was bad for the Teen Wolf production.

Thursday found cast and crew in the woods near Malibu Creek State Park. The area is familiar to fans as the Beacon Hills Preserve and home of the Nemeton. Teen Wolf brings the equivalent of a small town each time they go on location. It is a major undertaking, planned weeks in advance. One thing they couldn’t plan for was this break in California’s drought.

Storms moved in over the location shortly after noon on Thursday. The rain was moderate (and manageable) at first. Then the big storms moved in, dumping a quarter of an inch of water on our wolves over the course of the afternoon. Television productions can deal with rain. Light rain doesn’t even show up on camera so it’s not that hard for them to continue. Once the heavy stuff started to fall on Thursday, they had to seek shelter and we saw the actors huddled together under umbrellas as they waited out the storms. While it was an inconvenience, I think everyone on set will agree that the rain was worth it just to get these shots of Ryan Kelley wearing a clear plastic rain bonnet to protect his perfect hair.



 Melissa in Dragland

This weekend, Melissa Ponzio traveled over the rainbow flag to the merry old land of RU.

Folks who follow her on social media know she is a HUGE RuPaul’s Drag Race fan. Based on her Instagram posts, she got to exercise her inner-squeeeeee with all her favorite queens at this weekend’s DragCon in Los Angeles. Melissa was among the almost 14,000 people who packed the LA Convention Center for "RuPaul's Dragcon” May 16 and 17. The event is the first drag queen convention in history, bringing together stars from the reality contest show’s seven seasons. Melissa had what she describes as “a total fangirl moment!!” upon meeting Season 1 contestant Ongina. It was just like the Teen Wolf convention with panels with the stars and photo ops. The only apparent difference was the amount of glitter.  Dylan’s Star Rises Higher

Dylan O’Brien’s next movie won’t be out until September but, judging by the excitement generated by the trailer release, we can already tell it’s going to be huge.

The first trailer for The Scorch Trials hit the net this week and it’s all about Dylan.



Before the buzz from that even really got revved up, Lionsgate announced that Dylan’s next project began filming this week in Louisiana. The cast list is what they used to call “Star-Studded” back in the day.

From the Lionsgate press release -
 * “The film stars Academy Award® nominee Mark Wahlberg (“LONE SURVIVIOR”, “THE FIGHTER”)alongside Golden Globe® nominee Kurt Russell (“FURIOUS SEVEN” and the forthcoming “THE HATEFUL EIGHT”), Academy Award® nominee John Malkovich (“RED”, “BURN AFTER READING”), Dylan O’Brien (“THE MAZE RUNNER”), Golden Globe® winner Gina Rodriguez (“Jane the Virgin”) and Academy Award® nominee Kate Hudson (“ALMOST FAMOUS”, “NINE”).”

The movie is about the big oil rig explosion back in 2010. Dylan plays one of the workers who survived the blast and the fire that followed. While this is a huge deal for the actor, fans will have to wait until September of next year, 2016, to see Deepwater Horizon in theaters.  Tyler Hoechlin joins Facebook

Tyler Hoechlin established his own fan page on Facebook this week. He’s done Instagram and twitter in the past but for some reason never joined the Cult of Zuck.

His first post was to alert fans about an upcoming announcement –


 * “Alright, first real post on here. If possible I'm even more green at this than Instagram and Twitter so, PLEASE be patient with me! Again, excited to share something with you guys later this week so make sure to check back!”
