    LAMB Casting: The Color Purple
    This is Andrew from Encore’s World of Film & TV with another entry in LAMB Casting. Along with The Turning Point (1977), The Color Purple (1985) holds the unenviable prize of having the most Oscar nominations without winning – 11. For the last episode of LAMB Casting I asked you to cast the Spielberg classic. The five responses were all quite interesting, one more than another. They choices were: ENTRY...

    LAMB Casting Doubt: The Results
    When Doubt came out in 2008 the panel was pretty much split down the middle, it seemed. Half seemed to love Meryl’s Aloysius giving it endless best of citations and the other half hated using Cherry Jones apparently atypical incarnation. I’ve never seen the lovely Jones on stage, so I can’t accredit the latter. I wasn’t too fond of Streep in Doubt. She was fine, but I hated her take on the character. In fact as someone...

    Pitch the LAMB: To Infinity and Beyond
    The first Pitch the LAMB of the year sparked a fair bit of interest but only one actual submission. Several people remarked that writing plots for Science Fiction films just was not their thing. Hopefully March’s Pitch the LAMB will spark the creative juices a little more. Anyways, on to the submission: Big Thoughts From A Small Mind offers up “Kopera“…...

    LAMB Casting: Doubt Pt. 2

    Andrew here, from Encore’s World of Film & TV. I’m very late with this, but I’ve had a hectic week – which is no excuse but (shrugs) it is what it is. As usual I’m not revealing who the competitors were, but this week the lineup was very interesting. Six of you decided to recast 2008’s Awards hit of sorts and I’d rather watch each of these films than the actual cast…and I liked...

    LAMB Casting: Doubt
    Hello, folks. This is Andrew from Encore’s World of Film & TV with another episode of LAMB Casting. I’m veering into recent times with this entry 2008’s Oscar nominated Doubt. I know you’re probably all queasy at the thought of recasting La Streep herself, but she’s probably busy prepping herself for this year’s ceremony so reading LAMB is probably low on her list of...
