Ewan McGregor isn’t exactly sure what defines “Fargo” as both a series and as a concept. He’s just sure that something about the way it has captured both the original Coen Brothers film’s spirit, as well as its own unique ethos, is rooted in the writing of creator Noah Hawley.
“His writing is so… ‘Fargo,'” McGregor said on the set of the FX limited series, which was nearing the end of production in Calgary last month. “I don’t know how he’s managed it. It’s not just the accent. It’s the rhythm of the speech, it’s the black humor of the violence.”
He trailed off. “Whatever Noah does, he understands what makes it ‘Fargo’-y, and so that’s what it feels like. So when you say the lines right it feels right, like ‘Fargo’ should.”

If you haven’t watched the first season of FX’s Fargo, you are really missing out on something special. That series was fantastic, and I’m really happy that it’s getting a second season.
According to The Wrap, Rachel Keller has been cast in the series, Jeffrey Donovan (Burn Notice) is nearing a deal, and Nick Offerman (Parks and Rec) could be joining him. The report says that Donovan will play a man named Dodd, Keller has been cast as Simone, and if Offerman signs up, he’ll take on a character named Carl. Also up for roles are Mike Bradecich and Allan Dobrescu, but descriptions of their roles were not given.
Series creator Noah Hawley already offered some details on the story, which will be set in Sioux Falls in 1979 and feature Lou Solverson, who is the father of Molly Solverson from Season 1. He is a 33-year-old...

New Zealand actor Cliff Curtis ("Whale Rider," "Sunshine," "Gang Related") has scored the male lead role in AMC's "The Walking Dead" companion series. It's expected Curtis will play Sean Cabrera, a divorced teacher trying to do right by everyone in his life.
Frank Dillane and Alycia Debnam Carey have already been been cast as the kids of the female lead character. The untitled companion series only has a pilot order at the moment but is almost certain to go to series.
Meanwhile, "Burn Notice" regular Jeffrey Donovan and "Hollidaysburg" actress Rachel Keller are reportedly in talks to join the second season of FX's anthology series "Fargo". An offer is also out to "Parks and Recreation" regular Nick Offerman to join the cast, whilst Mike Bradecich and Allan Dobrescu are said to be up for roles.
Set in Sioux Falls in 1979, the new season will see some younger iterations of characters from the first season.

Noah Hawley’s Fargo miniseries was one of the most unexpected delights of television this year, so it’s no wonder we’re keen to hear more about where the show will go from here now that FX has renewed it for a second season. Today, it was revealed that Hawley has begun casting for the next iteration of Fargo, adding Burn Notice‘s Jeffrey Donovan and Rachel Keller (Hollidaysburg) to what will be an ensemble cast. Additionally, he’s sent an offer out to Parks and Recreation actor Nick Offerman.
Hawley previously intrigued us by saying that the series will be set in 1979, with some of the same characters from season 1 returning, albeit much younger and played by different actors. Donovan has been set to play a character named Dodd, while Keller has been set to play Simone. If Offerman responds in the affirmative, he’ll play Carl.
Mike Bradecich...

Being a property owner can be difficult. Bad tenants, old buildings that require constant maintenance and significant expense, and carnivorous molemen that come up through old Chicago Prohibition tunnels. Wait, what? Yep, subterranean humanoid underground dwellers. SHUDs maybe? Nah, let’s just stick with The Moleman of Belmont Avenue. It sounds more B movie anyway, and what would any B movie worth its salt be without the anti –hero, or even better, a duo of anti-heroes.
Enter Marion and Jarmon Mugg, two brothers that inherited a brownstone from their mother, and seemed to be trapped in a situation that they neither want, or are any good at. Their longtime tenants are leaving them, the building is falling into disrepair, and the boys just can’t seem to catch a break. When tenant’s pets start disappearing, something sinister seems to be afoot.

“Doobie doobie do, we-oh we-oh.” So goes the infuriating song that plays throughout The Mole Man of Belmont Avenue. The song in question is sung by lead actors and writers and directors of the film Mike Bradecich and John Laflamboy in one of the various absurd fantasy/dream sequences that populate this comedy horror film—hormedy? comedorror? Not surprisingly, this little ditty is the least offensive thing about this low brow, low budget movie.
Having inherited a sprawling brownstone apartment building from their deceased mother, the slacker Mugg brothers—Marion (Bradecich) and Jarmon (Laflamboy)—have driven this property into the ground. Most of the renters have left and the inexplicable bar in the basement is all but defunct. Yet what’s most troubling of all is that the pets in the building have been disappearing. The culprit, of course, is the titular Mole Man, creeping around the building eating tiny animals.

Directors/writers: Mike Bradecich and John Laflamboy.
First time directors Mike Bradecich and John Laflamboy take on comedy in their feature The Mole Man of Belmont Avenue. Trained at the Second City theater in Chicago, these two writers have a knack for writing great dialogue, but there plot seems scripted more from "Scooby Doo." The story is very straightforward with a creature invading Marion (Bradecich) and Jarmon's (Laflamboy) recently inherited apartment building. Then the plot is forgotten in a pot haze as the writers take a pointer or two from Kevin Smith's slacker comedies such as Clerks and Mallrats.
Marion and Jarmon are not really up for the case, when a monster moves into their multi-storied abode. These landlords can hardly keep the lights on and here lies their charm. Struggling to get by, these brothers have to team up to find a monster eating their tenants' pets. Then,...

Now, there isnt much gore in Moleman, or nudity, or scares.. but what it does have is a fresh blend of comedy and horror which to me, after viewing it, am expecting it to become a cult classic in the likes of Idle Hands or Shaun of the Dead.
It pretty much is about- Two Brothers who run an apt complex in Chicago that was once used for Bootlegging. Leaving unknown tunnels beneath the basement, which the basement itself is a bar that happens to be the meeting place constantly for the Brothers.. When all the occupant’s pets end up disappearing, the brothers are determined to find out why to make their tennants happy, and to avoid more comlaints. Leading to them having brushes with the “Moleman”, eating up all the pets, and eventually going after the tennants. They aim to find it, in the abandoned tunnels beneath, and kill it.

In The Mole Man of Belmont Avenue (which has to be one of the catchier names on the indie horror scene these days), we meet down on their luck brothers Jarman (Laflamboy) and Marion (Bradecich). Just back from a failed stint raising llamas, Jarman has just returned to the rapidly depopulating Chicago building managed by deadpan brother Marion who's got his own struggles to contend with.
See, the gas has just been shut off in the building and Marion's been left to deal with the fact that their building's electricity is being stolen from a church next door. The only tenants that remain are a generally disagreeable bunch including a couple of cranky oldsters (including horror icon Robert Englund), a prostitute and an apartment full of stoners.
As if all of that wasn't enough to deal with, the brothers suddenly realize that all the pets in the building are disappearing...
