With only 3 weeks to go until Wish You Were Here premieres in the US and Canada, I thought I would post a few magazine reviews. I was able to get my hands on copies of some Australian magazines which reviewed the film when it premiered there last year. The thoughts on the film are still relevant, of course, so I’ve added them to the site. The reviews and articles added are from Film Ink (May 2012), Metro (Autumn 2012), Vogue Australia (May 2012), Limelight (May 2012) and This Week Australia (4th May 2012).

If you want to read a little more about the film, now you can! The release date mentioned in these reviews is obviously wrong for the US and Canada though, it’s June 7th for you guys!

Wish You Were Here will be released to limited theaters just like it was in Australia. When a theater list is released, I will post the information here and hopefully it will be showing somewhere near you. So keep a look out!

To make it easier for scans, I’ve now made it so you just click on the preview below and you will go straight to the larger scan.

I’ve added scans of a Banshee interview with Antony, Greg Yaitanes and Ivana Milicevic from the July 2013 issue of the UK’s Total Film.

Click the previews below to go to the scans in the gallery. Click the previews in the gallery for a popup of the larger scans.

I’ve added some more stills of Antony to the gallery from Banshee episodes, “The Rave” and “Meet the New Boss”.

I’ve also changed the Banshee stills section in the gallery. Each episode now has it’s own stills folder and the stills and screencaps now have their own sections in the Banshee category. Hopefully this will make it a little easier to find various Banshee photos.

Sky Atlantic have released this pretty cool new series trailer for Banshee which features some of Lucas Hood’s greatest “hits”!

“Gotta watch me!” indeed!

I’ve added a couple of new Wish You Were Here photos to the gallery. One is a promo photo of Antony with Joel Edgerton (love it!) and the other is an on set photo (similar to one that was previously posted, but still different!).

There is also a brand new official site for Wish You Were Here which I’m sure will cover the news in the lead up to the US release on June 7th. You can see the new site at: wywh-movie.com. Of course you can still access the Australian official site here.

German online magazine, myFanbase, has interviewed Antony about all things Banshee season 1 and a little about season 2.

Exclusive interview with Antony Starr
Nicole Oebel, May 2013

The mid-season brought us the exciting new action show “Banshee” on Cinemax this year. The show focuses on Lucas Hood, played by Antony Starr. Hood is released from prison after 15 years and while looking for the love of his life, his former accomplice Ana, he ends up as the new sheriff in the quirky small town called Banshee. We had the opportunity to talk to the star of the show, Antony Starr, about his work on “Banshee” and to ask him a few questions on aspects of the special style and effects of the show and on the development of the storyline in season 1.

1. Lucas Hood on “Banshee” is your first TV role in the U.S.. What was it about the character that got you hooked?

From the moment I read the pilot script and saw the names involved it was a no brainer. The script was interesting, fun and original and immediately distinguishable as something unique and with massive potential.

2. In the first half of the season we had fun watching Lucas as this rad, cool, tough guy who would lunge into a fight and never give in no matter his opponent. But it was Ep. 1×06 that we viewers could finally unleash our love for the guy. The moment when you could add the new layer of vulnerability to your portrayal. How important was that for you and the development of the character?

Interestingly I never saw it like that. While I agree episode six shows Lucas younger and less world weary/wary and streetwise, I would say that Lucas is vulnerable right off the bat from the first episode. We see him struggle to come to terms with what is left of his life fresh out of prison (confronting Carrie in the backyard). In episode two he has intimacy with Deva towards the end of the episode. These are two examples but there are many more if you look. We wanted Lucas to feel human and not comic character. Obviously the show is heightened but there is an emotional reality that we wanted to reflect in the characters.

The Pilot episode of Banshee airs in the UK (and I believe Ireland also) tonight, so to celebrate I added a few new stills to the gallery from that episode. To those who get to see Banshee for the first time tonight, enjoy the show! I’m sure you will!

TV & Satellite Week in the UK have picked Banshee as their “Editors Choice” for this week! Banshee’s pilot episode goes to air this Monday night in the UK on Sky Atlantic at 10:15pm.

Here’s a scan of the article that appeared in this week’s TV & Satellite magazine. To see the bigger version click on the preview below to go the spot in the gallery where the scan is and then click again to get a pop up of a larger, readable version.

Back in the mid-90s, Antony made a couple of guest appearances on the classic sci-fi series, Xena: Warrior Princess.

In the season 1 episode, Hooves and Harlots, he played a centour by the name of Mesas, who is healed by Xena after being injured by her in a fight. In the season 2 episode, The Giant Killer, he played David, a young Israelite psalms writer who meets up with Xena and Gabrielle after being captured by the Philistines for hunting on their land. To find out a little more about both of Antony’s Xena characters, you can read a description of them at the Xena: Warrior Princess page in the career section of the site.

I’ve added screencaps of Antony from both episodes to the gallery and you can view some clips in the video archive.

The Banshee crew are currently in Greenville, South Carolina, filming a major car chase sequence involving both Lucas and Carrie for the second season. Greg Yaitanes has tweeted a couple of behind the scenes photos of Antony and Ivana from today’s action (to see more photos of Ivana, check out Greg’s twitter page). Filming of the car chase will continue until Wednesday.

For a bit of a clue as to what the car chase is all about, have a read of the Banshee Origins (US link) comic which you can find at itunes (available for most countries).
