In a slew of other casting news, Michael Cudlitz has come aboard and Benjamin McKenzie has officially joined the cast of NBC's drama pilot "LAPD [...]

"LAPD," an ensemble cop drama from John Wells Prods. and Warner Bros. TV, follows a group of officers in Los Angeles. McKenzie ("The O.C.") will play Ben, a reserved rookie cop. He is repped by WMA and Management 360. Cudlitz ("Lost") will play John, Ben's training officer. He is repped by APA and manager Rick Ax. (source)

"The O.C." star Ben McKenzie will be hitting U.S. cinemas this fall in "Dalton Trumbo's Johnny Got His Gun," the film version of his one-man stage show.

Truly Indie will release the antiwar drama, a portrait of a World War I soldier with battlefield injuries that leave him trapped in his body, unable to communicate with others.

Trumbo adapted his 1938 novel for the screen and directed the 1971 film starring Timothy Bottoms. The current project is a filmed version of Bradley Rand Smith's 1982 Off-Broadway adaptation of the book, which starred Jeff Daniels.

The film, directed by Rowan Joseph, will premiere September 22 in Austin, Texas, and then roll out to other cities. A portion of the movie's proceeds will be donated to the Fallen Patriot Fund for families of Iraq War veterans. (source)

As you can probably tell, I've finally put up a new layout at the site. The previous ones had been online since the launch of the site back in August 2006, so we were more than overdue for something new. I quite like it, so I hope you do too. Feedback is always most welcome!

Ben was out and about again yesterday, attending The Incredible Hulk" World Premiere. So far I have only added 4 medium quality pictures, but more will be added as they become available.

Hey, I'm Sanne and I'm going to help Janine out with BMF. There's not much Ben news at the moment, but that doesn't mean I'm doing nothing over here. I've added alot of icons to the icon archive and I'll add some wallpapers later. Well that's it for now at least.
