A couple of new stills from The Echo have been released via the film’s facebook page and have been added to the gallery, along with a new (tagged) photoshoot.

Jesse hasn’t been out at an official public appearance since October 2008 - boo! However, I have managed to find a couple of event pictures I’d not yet added to the gallery, with some from ‘07 and two from ‘08…hopefully some more soon!

Yam Laranas shot his original horror movie “The Echo” in 2004 and finished up an American remake of the same movie in 2008. The film stars Jesse Bradford as an ex-con who moves into a haunted apartment building and begins to hear sounds. A longer, more plot-heavy (i.e. voiceover narration) version of the trailer was posted last year (see that here). This one is a Korean version of the trailer, and is a slicker, less obvious but definitely more atmospheric cut. The bathroom stall scene creeps me the hell out, man.

An ex-con moves into an old apartment building, where he encounters a domestic problem involving a police officer, his wife, and their daughter. When he tries to intervene, however, a mysterious curse entraps him.

Starring Jamie Bloch, Jesse Bradford, Iza Calzado, Kevin Durand, Jayne Eastwood, Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, Carlos Leon, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Amelia Warner, and Louise Linton. Yam Laranas directs.

The film opens May 28 in South Korea, thus the trailer. It currently doesn’t have a U.S. release date, and considering how badly Asian horror remakes have done in the States, it could very well go directly to DVD.

Also booking pilot roles are Missy Pyle, Chris Parnell, Jesse Bradford and Matt Czuchry

A total of eight actors have landed roles across a quartet of CBS pilots.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Deanna Dunagan, Missy Pyle and Chris Parnell have been cast in comedy “Big D,” Jeremy Northam has secured a lead in “Miami Trauma,” Saffron Burrows, Jesse Bradford and Gaby Hoffmann will appear in “The Eastmans,” while Matt Czuchry will co-star in “The Good Wife.”

“Miami Trauma” comes from Jerry Bruckheimer productions and centers around, predictably, a trauma center in Miami. Northam (”The Tudors,” “Gosford Park”) will play an enigmatic new doctor in the ward.

“The Eastmans” focuses on a complicated family of doctors. Burrows (”My Own Worst Enemy”) will play Anna Eastman, researching autism and wondering if her child is autistic. Hoffmann (”Field of Dreams”) and Bradford (”Bring It On”) will play Sally and Seth, the Easthman twins. She’s a pathologist and he’s got a Vicodin addiction. It’s “Out of Practice” meets “Dirty Sexy Money”!

“The Good Wife” stars Julianna Margulies as a politician’s wife who takes a job as a junior associate at a big law firm. Czuchry (”Gilmore Girls”) will play another first-year associate at the film.

Finally, on the comedy front, “Big D” focuses on a New York couple who move back to the husband’s hometown of Dallas. Dunagan, a Tony winner for “August: Osage County,” will play the husband’s Southern belle mother. Pyle (”Spring Breakdown”) and Parnell (”30 Rock”) would play his sister and brother-in-law.

I have finally managed to find a new photoshoot! It’s from 2004, but its high-quality, and Jesse looks great. Five HQ pics have been uploaded to the gallery.

After far, far, FAR too long with that WordPress template, I have finally managed to pull together a semi-decent layout for this site. As you’ll notice, there isn’t any content up yet, as I’m going to have to basically re-write every page, as well as convert it all to WordPress. However, the gallery is still up and availible for viewing, so help yourself whilst I get things sorted. I’d love to know what you think of the new look!

Some really old stuff keeps popping up in my daily Jesse newsfeeds! Today I got sent an interview from Spike.com, where Jesse and the lovely Zooey Deschanel were interviewed for the promotion of “Eulogy” - check it out below.

Every year, on the eve of the Oscars, the Independent Spirit Awards go down in Santa Monica in a tent near the beach. The Spirit Awards do a great job of pretty much awarding all the films Academy members don’t feel okay about voting for, either because they’re not mainstream enough/didn’t make enough money, or because they’re going to give said films the “indie consolation prize,” aka, the Best Original Screenplay award. Either way, they have far more fun at their ceremony than the Academy ever will at the Oscars. The ongoing tradition of the Spirit Awards that really makes it worth watching though (besides the inevitably profanity-laced acceptance speeches) are the musical numbers: all of the films nominated for Best Independent Feature get sing-along numbers performed by special presenters at the live ceremony. And this year’s best of the crop was, naturally, Rainn Wilson’s take on The Wrestler.

Our other two favorite Spirit Award singalongs from previous years: Steve Zahn’s awesome take on the (out-of-context) ridiculousness that is I’m Not There from last year’s ceremony was pretty stellar…… as was this live music performance by Jesse Bradford and Michelle Trachtenberg about the (awesome) Best Independent Feature, Primer, an uber-low-budget Sundance darling about two friends who invent a time-travel machine:

(I’m not sure how old this is, but my Google Alerts delivered it to my inbox today, so I thought I’d share a rare interview!)

Right now, 26-year-old actor Jesse Bradford — star of “Swimfan” and “Bring It On,” isn’t a household name to anyone but teens, but that’s going to change with the release of “Heights,” the last Merchant-Ivory film (groundbreaking gay producer Ismail Merchant died in May).

“Heights” is anything but teen fluff: It’s a subtle, gripping tale of secrets, sex and manipulation over the course of 24 hours. In it, Bradford plays a struggling actor who gets “godsmacked” by Glenn Close.

Bradford recently sat down to talk with Entertainment Editor Jenny Stewart on his passionate (and surprising) kiss scene, his own teenage heartbreak and how much he loves his gay fan base.

Spoiler alert: Don’t read any further if you don’t want to know what happens in “Heights!”
