"House of Bones": New CC Sci-Fi Channel Movie

[Livvie]

Has anyone heard anything about this? When I checked imdb.com it said it was in production but there was no cast list.

From that site:

I've never been much of a fan of all those ghost hunting shows but if more ghost hunters looked like Charisma Carpenter I might start tuning in. Until that day arrives I'll have to settle for House of Bones, in which the former "Buffy"/"Angel"/"Charmed"/"Veronica Mars" starlet will play a ghost hunter getting more than she bargained for.

Corin Nemec (Mansquito, SS Doomtrooper) co-stars alongside Carpenter as TV ghost hunters that enter a reportedly haunted house that may prove to be the death of them. Produced by Leigh Scott (Transmorphers), Griff Furst (100 Million BC), and Ken Badish (Showdown at Area 51) under the Louisiana-based Bullet Films banner, directing duties for this paranormal scarefest fall to Jeffrey Lando, he of Decoys 2 and Insecticidal fame.

Look for House of Bones to premiere on the Sci-Fi Channel sometime in 2009.

I hope it's true, she could use the work. Ten minutes of airtime on one series just won't cut it.

Even though it sounds like a low budget movie, what the hell, it's exposure. I'm sure she'll shine in the part.

I'll watch.

Well, that's cool I guess. The bad thing with Sci-Fi is that they produce amazing mini-series (IMO) Tin Man; Dune even Battle Star Gallactica but when it comes to TV Movies they're usually pretty cheap.

The movie does sound pretty cool though, and I've adored Corin Nemec sice the old Parker Lewis Can't Lose days; even if I did hate Jonas Quinn on SG-1.

Thanks for the news.

Sweet!! This is exciting news. Can't wait to see her. It's been a while.

I don't have Sci-Fi Channel - do these films go to DVD?

Did a search and found this.

Horror movie being filmed at Holland home
By Howell Dennis
NEWS EDITOR

CROWLEY – “We really love shooting here in Crowley,” said Bullet Films production coordinator Laura Hill. “The old homes in your historic district make for wonderful movie sets.”

The landmark home of Dr. Michael Holland, which is currently under construction, is being used as the set for a movie tentatively titled “House of Bones”, which is about a haunted house. The film will air on the Sci-Fi channel once it is complete.

This is the second film Bullet Films production to be filmed in Crowley during the past year. The Grand Opera House of the South was used for the production of a werewolf movie that is currently having the finishing touches put on it before it is aired.

“The Holland’s are currently staying at another home and they were nice enough to let us use theirs,” said Diana McCormick, also a production coordinator. “This home is just a perfect setting for a haunted house.”

The movie is being directed by Jefferey Lando who also wrote the film along with Leigh Scott and Griff Furst. Shooting on the film is expected to continue until December 20.

Bullet Films is based in Lafayette.

It can't be fun as an actor to have your name followed in print by "(Mansquito, SS Doomtrooper)"

At any rate, these kinds of films can sometimes be fun, so I'll keep an eye out for it.

Probably better than them having to go all the way back to Parker Lewis Can't Lose though.

Definitely. I myself am a long-time fan of the types of movies that often attract scorn and ridicule (while many an Oscar winner has put me to sleep). So I'm probably looking forward to this a little more than some.

I'm really looking forward to this movie. CC's getting work! She's the lead! I know some Sci-Fi Channel movies are low budget and all, but this is CC and Corin(he will always be my Parker Lewis I loved that show!). So, I think it will do good ratings because of CC, alone. Hey, work is work. The plot sounds pretty cool.

I probably read this at the wrong time. We had just watched Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight last weekend on SCI-FI, and it was beyond painful.

But I forebear. Jada Pinkett Smith and Thomas Hayden Church were in it and they went on to movies that made money.

I just think that CC is so incredibly talented on top of being incredibly beautiful that I'm at a loss to understand why she doesn't have her own sitcom or been part of an ensemble by now. Is Hollywood really that blind?

But I'll take a page from Nikki and try to be optimistic.

But I'd sure love it if one TV critic/reviewer would mention her without mentioning how good she'd look sans clothes. *sigh*

Hey, I like that movie. (Which wasn't a Sci-Fi Channel original, by the way, but a theatrical release.) And not in a "so bad it's good" way, either. I think it's pretty good. However, when it's shown on commercial television, they like to chop it up and leave out a lot of the good parts.

Now the other Tales from the Crypt movie, with Dennis Miller and the vampires, that one sucked. (No pun intended. )

As for Sci Fi Channel's originals, they've actually done some good, even thought-provoking flicks...although maybe not lately.
