I saw him recently at some event (maybe it was the Drama Desks?) and I had this moment of, oh my God, Henry Hodges is all grown up... and I felt so old.
On another note, that is a terrifying photo they chose for the thumbnail. So many GOOD options to pick from, and they went with that?

Vaguely off-topic, but this made me think of Raul and 25/8 (which still has no release date as far as I've seen):

LOL!! Y'know, somehow I think Raul would say that fits him perfectly. 
Wes Craven said about two weeks ago that the picture was locked (meaning editing has been completed) and they are now turning their attention to music, sound design and VFX (visual effects). So there's definite progress, but I have a feeling we probably won't see it much before 2010. It still says 2009 on the IMDb page for the movie, but that hasn't been updated since March.

lol. But what about bloody horror musicals?
Really, I could so live without this movie. And I probably will, because enjoyment of sleep > curiosity.

I think I will wait to find out what braver members of this thread think about the movie before venturing out to it.

Wes Craven twittered yesterday:
"Just saw the studio's new trailer for #25/8...it rocks! Think STAND BY ME with knives!"
Um....no comment.

Oh ugh. I really, really don't think I can bear to see this. Maybe when it comes out on DVD so I can easily fast-forward though the gory parts...

Raul has been staying well under the radar lately, so there's not much of anything going on. I sure hope he's got something lined up for this winter. He hasn't gone a season without doing a show since....I don't think ever, since he came to New York.
Fingers crossed for some news about SOMEthing, and soon!

I don't know...I remember the break between The Normal Heart and Chitty seemed like an eternity. Though it might have only been a few months!

It was a while; The Normal Heart closed in... I think June of 2004, and Chitty didn't start performances until March of 2005. I want to see him back in something as much as anybody, but he does deserve a break.

I'll admit to being selfish - I wish he'd do Speed The Plow here in LA next March (same production, Neil Pepe directing). But that's not gonna happen.

And just when you think you're out there on your own, you see yourself in someone else's eyes. And if they told you you could never love yourself-it was a lie.

On House tonight, a patient was hospitalized for mercury poisoning and his excuse was "I've been eating a lot of sushi lately."
The doctor's response? "And you've been getting lukewarm reviews in Speed-The-Plow on Broadway?"

I keep picturing Raul locked in a sound-proof room reading the 35th hour of the Stephen King book into a microphone. He is dehydrated and starving and they are not going to let him out until the d*mn audiobook is finished.

The audiobook has been finished for at least a month, I think, and he survived just fine.

Check out this video of Susan Blackwell at the Broadway Flea Market- it's great in general, but at about 14:00, she interviews Elizabeth Ashley, who tells Susan why she'd like to spend "Seven minutes in heaven" with Raul.

HAHA that video is excellent. I totally support such a booth. I love Anthony's facial expression when Susan proposes it to him. And word, Elizabeth Ashley. I love the way she says it, too. Gold mine.

I love that video! She is clearly a rabid fan. I love the way she can barely form a coherent sentence talking about him.

Only slightly related, but if anyone cares, James Frain is on Grey's Anatomy tonight (right now on the East Coast).

From Wes Craven's Twitter:
25/8 News: Nearing the end of the first week of the final mix. The film is sounding great.
Still no word on the release date though...
