Just My Faves

According to a newly released press release, Dreamfly Productions will begin production soon on a new sci-fi movie starring Willa Ford, who happens to be another one of my longtime faves. October 26th is the starting film date for the psycho thriller Minuteman.

Minuteman is a sci-fi thriller in the tradition of Bourne Identity and Manchurian Candidate. The film revolves around Captain Lance Deakin who, after returning to civilian life as a Texas rancher, is attacked by members of his former Special Forces unit. Brainwashed by the military and turned into killing machines, Lance remembers their top secret missions in Iraq only as Minuteman, the hyper-violent video game they used to play while on tour.

With Lance desperately trying to piece together what actually happened, his former comrades are closing in on him and his fiancee to take them out. Lance is quickly running out of time to uncover the truth and save the woman he loves.

Others cast, include Riley Smith, Barry Corbin, Christian Kane, Marshall Teague and Keith Stone. No word just yet on what role Willa will be playing, but there appears to be a nicely updated blog on production and movie aspects on the the Dreamfly Productions website which states that she is the movie’s leading female role. So, I would guess she is playing the role of Lance’s fiancee?

The Wet Seal, Inc. (NASDAQ:WTSLA), a leading specialty retailer to young women, today announced a partnership with SodaPop/Island Def Jam recording artist Kristinia DeBarge. The program includes a collection of fashion pieces selected by Kristinia, online and offline marketing and events, and a national contest where one lucky winner will be flown to Los Angeles to be Kristinia’s BFF for the day. The fashion pieces will include denim, jackets, dresses and tops, and will continue to evolve through the New Year and early spring season. The program is set to launch on November 19, 2009.

“Kristinia is a talented, new, fresh face, and is perfect for the Wet Seal brand. She is approachable, fashionable, and sings about topics important to teens.
