 Dylan Hits the Maze Friday

This weekend Hollywood, specifically 20th Century Fox, Gotham Group, and Temple Hill Entertainment, are hoping everyone who reads this will automatically trek down to their local cinema on Friday and buy a ticket for The Maze Runner.

They also hope you’ll be joined by several million of the people who don’t read this. The scuttle is that Dylan O’Brien’s first “superstar, blockbuster, hero of mythic proportions” movie role will mean big money, a new franchise, and a Jennifer Lawrence-like career trajectory for the Teen Wolf sidekick.

I think the hype machine is a little over-hyped. I’m looking forward to the movie and I expect it will do moderately well – but I fear they’ve oversold the level of success this film can expect and the impact it might have on its star.

No matter what happens, Dylan O’Brien will continue to be a sought after actor because he has the natural talent and the work ethic necessary to succeed in a business that is often more about who likes you personally than what you can do professionally. You will be hard pressed to find anyone in the business who doesn’t like O’Brien right now. They are totally charmed.

You should still see TMR if you’re a Dylan O’Brien fan because, in this industry, box office success is only slightly less important than who you know.

 Before They Were Teen Wolf

All the publicity surrounding Being Tyler Posey, and all the baby Tyler pics it entailed, got me thinking about the other folks in Beacon Hills and what they were like before they were Teen Wolf.

We’ve all see our Teen Wolf as a pup and Dylan O’Brien baby pictures are very popular on tumblr and Hoechlin was acting right out of the womb so we’ve seen baby Derek before.

As for the others -

Turns out Chris Argent (JR Bourne) hasn’t changed all that much in the past 16 years –

This is how I first got to know him, when he was possessed by an alien symbiot named Martouf on SG-1.

Looks like Mrs. Argent (Eaddy Mays) was a bleached blond bombshell BITD.

This is some old headshot somebody found circa 1996 or so.

Peter Hale (Ian Bohen) was all ears and “90210 Dylan” hair as a teen.

This is from the show Weird Science in 1994 where he played an arrogant ass (poor thing got typecast).

Kate Argent (Jill Wagner) has apparently got those good genes from her TV brother – she hasn’t aged in 10 years.



This is Jill from her first TV credit – MONK back in 2004.

Turns out Sheriff Stilinski (Linden Ashby) and Natalie Martin (Susan Walters Ashby) were the “couple most likely to” back in 1987.



They actually met and fell in love on a soap opera called Loving – you can’t make this stuff up.

Old Doc Deaton (Seth Gilliam) was smoove back in the day.

Seth Gilliam’s first gig was on The Cosby Show back in 1991.

I’ve been unable to find baby or even adolescent pictures of Holland Roden or Chrystal Reed. It’s like they were built to be perfect somewhere in a lab and dropped onto television a few years ago. If you know where we can find some of those – let me know in the comments.

 Hoechlin Baseball Casting?

Deadline is reporting that Tyler Hoechlin’s been offered a new baseball themed movie from Richard Linklater.

They are saying this one is a “spiritual sequel” to 1993’s Dazed and Confused, Linklater’s ode to high school in the mid 70’s.

The new movie is set in 1980 as baseball players live together during their freshman year in college. The working title right now is That’s What I’m Talking About. Of course Hoechlin is perfect for many reasons not the least of which is his own notable college baseball career.
