Kimberly, a black widow type, meets her match in Jamielyn Lippman's Killer Weekend. Filming has begun on the Blanc/Biehn Productions project, and we have some photos from the set to share with Daily Dead readers.

Press Release: (Los Angeles, CA / January 12, 2016) -- Blanc/Biehn Productions (Bbp), the powerhouse indie film studio founded by actors/filmmakers Michael Biehn and Jennifer Blanc-Biehn, announces that principal shooting for Killer Weekend has begun in Los Angeles.

Jamielyn Lippman (When the Bough Breaks) will direct the thriller, with an original screenplay by Travis Romero, who wrote the story with Lony Ruhmann; Romero and Ruhmann have also collaborated on behalf of Bbp in the 2013 release Treachery and the upcoming Altered Perception.

Killer Weekend follows Kimberly (Vanessa Zima), a sexy young coed who’s enjoyed a lavish lifestyle thanks to rich Sugar Daddies, but quickly realizes she could access their money far more easily… by killing them.

They're no stranger to hostage situations and weird fans on "Castle." Both of those plots have, in fact, already occurred in earlier episodes of the series. But a crazy fan who takes hostages and will only speak to Richard Castle?

That's a new one.

Sugar daddies and Pi

Beckett is unemployed and feeling awfully bad about it. Castle isn't much help -- he offers to keep Beckett in the manner to which she could become accustomed. This isn't to say that Beckett is interested. All she wants is a job, which is complicated during an NYPD hiring freeze and after being fired by the Feds.

None of this is improved by the arrival of Pi. Followed by Martha. Followed by Alexis.

A call from Captain Gates (for Castle?) is very welcome after this.

Better than getting hobbled?

As usual, the call is about a murder. But this one is a little different than most.

Ever since the sad departure of showgirl Lucy Danziger from the show in Season 2, leaving her baby girl to the tender care of Nelson Van Alden (which is a bit like leaving a baby in the tender care of a waterbuffalo), the position of ‘female character who is madder than a sack full of wet ferrets’ has stood vacant. Now, finally, we have a suitable replacement. Gillian Darmody – never the most stable of persons, apt to revenge herself on neglectful Sugar Daddies by lacing their food with arsenic – has steadily lost her marbles one by one as the loss of her son/lover Jimmy has gradually pushed her to the edge.

So far she’s dealt with Jimmy’s death by just pretending he’s away on business...

Act A Contemporary Theatre is pleased to announce the American premiere of lauded playwright Alan Ayckbourns Sugar Daddies, directed by Ayckbourn himself, as one of the six mainstage selections in the 2013 Season. Act Artistic Director Kurt Beattie invited Ayckbourn to direct during a meeting in 2011 in England. The opportunity to collaborate in person is the result of ACTs commitment to and success with Ayckbourns work, which has engendered a lasting artistic relationship. Sugar Daddies is slated to be produced in September and October, 2013. The play will be staged in ACTs Allen Theatre, as productions in-the-round are Ayckbourns specialty.
