Milo Nerdage’s #15 actor with geek appeal

Gossip & Rumors / News & Announcements

Milo was voted #15 in the top 25 of actors with Geek Appeal by Nerdage. Check the other actors and actresses out here.

Perhaps best-known as Peter Petrelli on the now-cancelled NBC series “Heroes,” actor Milo Ventimiglia isn’t done being a superhero — he’s the voice of Logan on the new G4 animated series “Wolverine,” based on the Marvel comic.

Variety recently reported that Sony online viewing service Crackle was considering Ventimiglia’s ”Strand Street,” about a rookie  cop gone undercover in his hometown.

Ventimiglia’s The Divide recently played the Edinburgh Film Festival, and Ventimiglia also has roles in the upcoming “Static” and “Criminal Empire for Dummies.”

Ventimiglia’s partnership with publisher Top Cow, through his Divide Pictures, produced the miniseries “Berserker” and the collection of the comic-book series “Rest,” which at one point was under development from NBC.

Milo & Adrian Pasdar to voice Wolverine, Iron Man in G4 series

Gossip & Rumors / News & Announcements / Projects

Update from Wondercon: Marvel Television Announces Adrian Pasdar and Milo Ventimiglia for Iron Man and Wolverine Anime Series To Air On G4 July 2011

Marvel’s Head of Television Jeph Loeb announced casting for two of the company’s much anticipated anime series, IRON MAN and WOLVERINE, at its WonderCon panel today in San Francisco to the delight of fans in attendance. Both series will premiere on G4 in July 2011.

Adrian Pasdar (Heroes, Castle, Profit) will lend his voice to the character of Tony Stark in IRON MAN, an all-new series which sees Stark travel to Japan and battle the evil Zodiac Organization. Milo Ventimiglia (Gilmore Girls, Rocky Balboa, Heroes), takes on the title role in WOLVERINE, as Logan claws his way through Japan’s criminal underworld.

“Adrian and Milo are perfect as Iron Man and Wolverine,” said Loeb. “It’s extremely exciting to see these talented guys take on two of the most iconic Super Hero roles of all time.”

As the exclusive US TV home for the series, G4 will air IRON MAN and WOLVERINE along with the BLADE and X-MEN anime series later this year. The network will premiere an exclusive clip from WOLVERINE on Wednesday’s Attack of the Show at 7 pm ET/PT. For more information, check out g4tv.com/marvel

What would have happend if Heroes returned?

Gossip & Rumors / Heroes / Projects

Heroes alums Masi Oka (Hiro) and Jack Coleman (Noah “Horn-Rimmed Glasses” Bennet) have landed fun new gigs on CBS procedurals, both as characters named Max. “I’m playing an odd little man named Max Bergman,” says Hawaii Five-0 addition Masi, who’ll begin recurring in Episode 4. “He’s brilliant at two things — being the Honolulu medical examiner and playing the piano, which he does in his autopsy-room office to help him think.”

Meanwhile, on The Mentalist, Jack pops up on October 14 as a wealthy, arrogant murder suspect named Max Winter. “The man who murdered my wife is himself murdered,” reveals Jack, suspecting his character “could conceivably have a fairly profound effect on Patrick Jane [Simon Baker], who lost his own wife and daughter.”

Had Heroes continued for one final arc, Masi tells me fans would have seen a brutal bloodbath. “They were going to end everyone’s stories by bumping off one character every week,” says Masi, who has remained closest to Milo Ventimiglia, Adrian Pasdar and Zachary Quinto. “A ‘Ten Little Indians’ thing was very much a possibility,” seconds Jack. “Based on the execution — no pun intended — it could have been brilliant. Or not.”

Screening of “The Tillman Story”

Appearances & Events / Gallery Updates / Gossip & Rumors / Projects

Sorry for completely disappearing from this site for a few weeks. I was sloppy and only looked for Milo on Google News and totally missed his appearance at the Screening Of The Weinstein Company The Tillman Story on August 12th!

IMDB also changed his profile page and added two movies to it: “The Divide” and the unconfirmed “Paper Wings”. Does this mean Milo signed for Paper Wings? Only time will tell, but IMDB is pretty reliable when it comes to new projects. Stay tuned for more news!

Milo and Others Read for ‘Paper Wings’

Candids / Gossip & Rumors / News & Announcements

Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Anna Kendrick, Milo Ventimiglia and a few other actors were photographed leaving the Saddle Ranch in West Hollywood’s Sunset Strip on Tuesday morning. The restaurant is famous for its karaoke, crazy parties and a mechanical bull. Some gossip sites were quick to report that it was a four-hour Scientology event, since a good selection of the actors involved are Scientologists. But it was later confirmed to be a table read for a movie called Paper Wings, which is being developed at Smith’s company Overbrook Entertainment.

Other actors at the table reading included Chad Michael Murray, Eric Dane, Tate Donovan, Tom Skerritt, Tom Arnold, Johnny Galecki, and Jenna Elfman. A rep for Overbrook tells Access to “Please note that any actor’s presence at this table read does not mean that they have officially signed onto this project.” The Hollywood Reporter mentions that Cruise is actively seeking other roles incase Mission: Impossible 4 falls through, noting Paper Wings as one of the prospects.

Apparently the film involves a champion bull rider who falls for an up-and-coming country singer (to be played by Reese Witherspoon). The Saddle Ranch was chosen/rented out for the reading because the location provided the right ambience for the project. Gabriele Muccino, the Italian filmmaker behind Smith’s Seven Pounds and The Pursuit of Happyness, has been approached to direct the film, but no contracts have been signed.

Hayden Panettiere still fighting with Milo Ventimiglia

Gossip & Rumors

I found this article on a celebrity blog. I have no idea if this is true, so judge yourself! (source Allie Is Wired)

I have made no secret of my disdain for the show “Heroes.” Quite simply, I see it as a poor man’s ‘Lost.’ However, the show’s incredibly low ratings this season haven’t stopped the show’s cheerleader, Hayden Panettiere from trying to create behind-the-scenes drama.

You see kittens, Panettiere was flashing her 18 year-old business to any 30 something year old that would take notice. And notice was taken by her co-star, the much older Milo Ventimiglia. The two dated and broke up in February of this year.

But Panettiere has her panties in a bunch and is reportedly still holding a grudge against Ventimiglia. According to sources, she is making their on-set interaction unbearable.

“She’s been bad-mouthing Milo behind the scenes to the producers. She gripes about doing scenes with him and flashes him dirty looks when they are not shooting…”

When Milo tried to smooth things over with Hayden, “she acted like she didn’t know what he was talking about,” the source said.

“Hayden told Milo: ‘Will you please get over yourself! Your ego is getting in the way of my acting!’”

Perhaps this is what Milo should have expected when he began dating a girl who listed Big Bird as her inspiration.

Milo Thought of Own Death During Filming

Armored / Gossip & Rumors

Milo Ventimiglia spent the whole of Armored thinking about his own death.

The actor couldn’t stop thinking about his own mortality when his on-screen alter-ego Officer Eckhart faced several life or death situations on the big screen.

“The majority of the film I’m in the back of an armored car lying, dying, wailing, crying, thinking about my own morality. He’s a mess, but this is the worst where I’m at. Dirty, bloody and half-way dead. My character Officer Eckhart responds to a siren. When getting to the location, he thinks he hears the siren and the siren goes off. He gets himself shot when he does his job and pulls his weapon. He gets a shotgun blast to the gut.”

Despite the gory storyline, the 32-year-old actor admits there were many things which drew him to the movie. He explained, “First of all, the actors. To be able to work with Matt Dillon, Laurence Fishburne, Jean Reno, Skeet Ulrich, Amaury Nolasco and Columbus Short, that was an initial draw of course. Then the story to tell. This kind of hopeful youth going against the desperation of guys that are kind of at the end of their rope. There’s a story to tell there. I think ultimately I’m never going to jump into anything that I don’t think there is a story to tell or a character arc to understand, so for me it was just being a part of that.”

Stallone doing Rocky 7

Gossip & Rumors / Projects

Sylvester Stallone always intended for “Rocky Balboa” to be the title character’s swan song. And it made sense that it was – it was a conclusive story. By the end of that film there was nothing more to say about the character. Book closed. And Stallone even agreed… at the time.

………

Last year rumours surfaced that MGM might be interested in resurrecting the “Rocky” series. Most assumed, if only because Stallone’s name wasn’t mentioned in any of the reports acknowledging the new film, that it’d be a spin-off of the previous film – possibly a film centering on the character of Rocky Jr (played in “Balboa” by Milo Ventimiglia) – or, god forbid, a remake of the first film.
