The upcoming indie film “Sironia” will make its debut at the Austin Film Festival on Friday night. The film, set in Waco, is deeply rooted in dreams both fulfilled and lost.

Inspired by the music and life of singer-songwriter Wes Cunningham, “Sironia” is the story of talented musician Thomas Fisher,frustrated by his Hollywood career. Thomas and his wife, Molly, decide to move to small town Sironia, Texas, to find a better life. There, Thomas struggles to find contentment and peace with his lost career, forced to choose what to hold on to and what to let go.

The cast includes Cunningham, Amy Acker from the WB’s “Angel,” Tony Hale, of “Arrested Development” and “Chuck,” and Robyn Lively, of “Savannah.”

Laura Smith, Lauren Schwartz and Steven Sills produced “Sironia.”

More than half of the film is shot in Waco, a place familiar to its three writers: Cunningham, Thomas Ward, and Brandon Dickerson, who is also directing the movie. (more…)

Lionsgate’s picked up The Cabin in the Woods and has set an April 13, 2012 release date for the horror film. Joss Whedon (who’s currently busy on The Avengers) co-wrote and produced Cabin, and screenwriter Drew Goddard (Cloverfield) made his directorial debut with the project.

The film, which Whedon calls the “horror movie to end all horror movies,” finds Thor star Chris Hemsworth playing a “young professional who visits a quaint cabin in the woods with a group of friends and ends up scratching the surface of something so massive and horrific that they can only begin to fathom it as time quickly runs out.”

The Cabin in the Woods also features Richard Jenkins, Bradley Whitford, Kristen Connolly, Brian J. White, Amy Acker, Fran Kranz, and Jesse Williams. (more…)

I’ve added lovely pictures of Amy at the Supanova Pop Culture Expo. Credit to CelSydney and JacDoc101 for most of the pictures.  It’s always nice to see new pictures of Amy! Previews and gallery links below:

Great new interview with Amy at Supanova Sydney 2011. Amy is too adorable in the video!

In this interview, Amy speaks to us about her visit to Sydney, her experience both on Angel and Dollhouse, what it’s like to work with Joss Whedon, and her fans. Amy’s latest film is The Cabin in the Woods, a thriller directed by Wendy Lin and due to be released October. She’s an absolute delight to talk to and is actually more gorgeous than her photos (yes, that is possible!). You can take a look at our interview down below. (Source)
