    New Willa Ford Music!

    Willa Ford

    I don’t know about anyone else, but as a fan since “I Wanna Be Bad”, I had almost given up hope that my Queen had put away the microphone for good.

    Thankfully she just misplaced it for a while. I guess she was looking for it on various movie and tv sets. Not sure where she found it, but I’m glad she did!

    Anyway, she has a new group, Willa and The Breaks, who did a show in LA last weekend at the historic Viper Room. (Where’s that teleportation device when you need it?) Take a listen to new song “Back, Back, Back” below:

    I like the tone of Willa’s voice. It’s soft, but has depth, if that makes sense. In any case, you can tell she’s worked on her vocals, which is something I wish I could say about a lot of other “artists” releasing music these days. WORK ON YOUR CRAFT, PEOPLE!

    Meanwhile, at the LA show, Willa performed a mash-up of “I Wanna Be Bad” and Led Zeppelin’s “Going To California”. Loved it!

    Willa will also do a show, with The Breaks, in Dallas on Jan 14. Still too far away for me, but she’s getting closer!

    Can’t wait to hear more, Mrs. Modano!

    Willa Ford Heads to “Magic City”

    0

    Willa, Willa, Willa, whatchu want, whatchu want?

    Well, she apparently wants to keep acting, and that’s just fine by me, although I miss my favorite “Bad Girl”. Back in late May, she hinted about a new acting project that she was excited to announce, and she dropped another few tidbits today.

    A simple Google search led me to a new STARZ series that goes by the title “Magic City”, set to air next year. Here’s a brief synopsis:

    Starz’s upcoming 10-episode drama series Magic City. Set in Miami in the late 1950s-early 1960s, Magic City chronicles the collision of mobsters, politicians and entertainers at the first preeminent Miami hotel just as Fidel Castro takes control of Cuba and shuts down Havana as a gambling haven. It centers on Ike (Morgan), a suave Jewish-American man who builds the hotel and along the way makes some strange bedfellows and many powerful enemies.

    The cast includes: Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Olga Kurylenko, Jessica Marais, Steven Strait, Christian Cooke, Danny Huston, Jessica Marais, Steven Strait, Christian Cooke, Dominik Garcia Lorido, Elena Satine, Kelly Lynch, Michael Rispoli, Yul Vázquez and Oscar-nominated Seymour Cassel.

    IMDB has updated her profile with the “Magic City” casting, and lists her character as “Janice” for what looks to be 3 episodes (nearly a third of the season). Very exciting for Willa, and can’t wait to see what she looks like as a red head!

    Willa Ford at Comic-Con

    Willa Ford’s new movie, Minuteman, got its World Premiere at the 2010 Comic-Con International in San Diego, CA yesterday.

    That’s a pretty big deal, and it’s always good to see Willa out n’ about again!

    In related news, Willa’s husband, hockey star Mike Modano, is looking for a new NHL team. Media reports have him looking at several teams, while taking into consideration his wife’s acting career and need to frequently be in Los Angeles. That’s why some think the San Jose Sharks are the favorites, instead of the Detroit Red Wings or Minnesota Wild. We’ll see soon!

    Minuteman Movie Trailer Feat. Willa Ford

    0

    Willa Ford in MinutemanWilla Ford’s new movie, Minuteman. She plays the role of “Becca” — one of the leads — and finished shooting it last month. The first trailer was just released.

    The movie is set for a vague 2010 release. I expect it to go straight to DVD, although I have no knowledge on the matter. Just a guess.

    The official website at www.minutemanthemovie.com is consists of just a splash video, but updates should be on the way.

    Here’s a refresher of what the movie is about:

    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 (Willa’s character, Becca) to take them out. Lance is quickly running out of time to uncover the truth and save the woman he loves.

    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.

    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?
