   WILLIAM MOSELEY  

FROM CROCKETT AND EDGAR ALLAN POE TO CZECH PRINCE

We're updating you with the upcoming projects from Hollywood's hottest blond hunk William Moseley and I don't think I will hear anyone complaining! He already finished LAND OF DREAMS movie with Matt Dillon and Isabella Rossellini, political satire set in the near future where America has closed its borders and become more insular than ever. He is also filming ON THE LINE thriller with Mel Gibson, and you already know that

William Moseley is a very busy man

we are waiting for historical adventure MEDIEVAL to be released. In the story of fourteenth century Czech icon and warlord Jan Zizka (Ben Foster), who defeated armies of the Teutonic Order and the Holy Roman Empire, he plays his brother Jaroslav. Michael Caine, Til Schweiger and Matthew Goode also star. Another of his historical films SAVAGE LANDS is currently in pre production: in it he plays Davy Crockett, the American Legend, whose wife has fallen deathly ill back in 1815, leaving their young children to survive on their own, so he must fight his way back to them across the many perils found in the Savage Lands of the wild frontier.

  Meanwhile, Shudder has bought his film RAVEN'S HOLLOW in which he dyed his hair black to play Edgar Allan Poe during his time at the US Military Academy, known as West Point. Returning from a training exercise in upstate New York, Poe and four other West Point cadets make a gruesome discovery. This encounter will lead
