Strathairn, Ormond, and O'Hara Face Autism

3 October 2008 4:32 PM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news

There's a new biopic finally gaining steam that hasn't been mentioned on Cinematical before -- HBO's Temple Grandin project. Back in August, Claire Danes signed on, and now The Hollywood Reporter posts that David Strathairn, Julia Ormond, and Catherine O'Hara have joined the cast.

Temple Grandin is a 61-year-old woman with autism known to be one of the leading voices in autism advocacy. As a child, she was derided by her classmates for being different -- nicknamed "tape recorder" because of her tendency to repeat things numerous times. But bursting out of that, Grandin went to college and eventually earned a PhD in animal science, ultimately becoming an advocate of humane slaughterhouses as well -- an ideal candidate to show both the struggles and successes that can come from autism.

A passion project that's been in the works for almost a decade, filming begins this month in Austin with Danes playing Grandin,

21 August 2008 2:03 PM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news

Filed under: New Releases, Home Entertainment, Trailers and Clips

It's hard to believe that it's been a whopping 15 years since Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas was released. The Buttercup-stealing Humperdink, or Chris Sarandon as Jack Skellington, Catherine O'Hara as Sally, plus a little bit of PeeWee and the wacky Greg Proops -- the days before Johnny and Helena were in everything Burtonesque.

In commemoration of the anniversary, the Collector's Edition DVD hits shelves next week, but to whet our hungry appetites, ShockTillYouDrop has got three clips from the new disc. Check out how they made the Haunted Mansion as a holiday tour led by Jack, the process of shooting the film, and finally, Tim Burton's original poem of The Nightmare Before Christmas, all funky and animated.

19 March 2008 9:08 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Actress Catherine O'Hara's big modelling break ended in embarrassment on Tuesday night, when the funnywoman took a tumble on the runway.

The 54-year-old Penelope star stepped out in style in her Canadian hometown for a special Toronto Fashion Week show to promote heart health awareness.

But O'Hara stole the show in an unexpected way by tripping on her long red Thien Le gown, reports New York website PageSix.com. After turning her fall into a comedy act, by sprawling on the stage, the star climbed back on her feet and finished her walk.
