Meet Laurence R. Harvey, the Face of The Human Centipede II
Laurence R. Harvey (not to be confused with Laurence Harvey, the late Oscar-nominated Lithuanian-British actor) made an unusual debut on the world’s stage when a close-up of his face, sweaty and bug-eyed, was released as the first image from Tom Six’s depraved sequel The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence). Meeting the British stage veteran — and, yes, one-time children’s television performer — on the red carpet at Fantastic Fest, Movieline was pleasantly relieved to find that Harvey is far from his disturbing alter ego, the put-upon Human Centipede-worshipping drudge Martin, who commits unspeakable acts upon fresh victims in the new film. But does his mother know what he’s been up to? I hardly recognized you, since the only glimpse I’ve seen of you is from… Harvey: The photo…! Yes, the photo. How do you feel about the idea of the world at large getting to know you through this particular character? Harvey: [Laughs] Well, I guess it’s kind of strange. In the U.K. some people kind of remember me from doing kids’ television ten years ago, so this is quite a difference from that. That’s hilariously perverse. Harvey: Yeah! Exactly. How does The Human Centipede II compare to the kinds of projects you’ve done before, children’s programming notwithstanding? Harvey: Most of the stuff I’ve done before has been kind of small audiences, experimental theater, and then this… It’s a huge explosion of madness. Considering your past work in children’s programming, were you looking for something this shocking and depraved to make a break of sorts? Harvey: Well, it’s not that I was looking for something specifically. I like working with different styles and different… methods… of working. Tom Six has recounted your audition for the role of Martin, in which he says he instructed you to rape a chair. What other crazy things did you have to do to get this role? Harvey: [Laughs] Was it the chair raping? I’m not sure. The most embarrassing thing was, because the character lives at home with his mum I just wore clothes that had been chosen by my mum. But I didn’t realize my jumper had a hole in it. I thought it was a little hole, but by the time I’d finished doing all the running around in the casting I came out and there was this big slit all the way down [runs finger down the side of his torso]. I just went, ‘Aaaah.’ That sounds pretty appropriate, actually. Harvey: Yeah! It works for the character, I think. How does your mother feel about The Human Centipede II and her son becoming famous for starring in it? Harvey: Well, I’m just glad that she can’t see it. I’m glad that it’s banned in the U.K.!

Lifetime Will Update Its Amanda Knox Movie, Which Airs Tuesday
Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italia Since Amanda Knox's Italian murder conviction continues to be overturned, Lifetime is racing to update its TV movie, Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italia. Like a stroke of luck for Lifetime, the cable network had already scheduled a re-airing from the film on Tuesday, October 4. Now Lifetime is likely to rapidly give a new brief opening towards the movie, an "epilogue" of sorts detailing Monday's news, in addition to a new coda how the brand new trial finishes. Amanda Knox Freed, Murder Conviction Overturned Lifetime initially opened the questionable movie, which stars Hayden Panettiere as Knox (a united states who had been initially charged of killing her roommate in Italia), on Feb 21. The funnel and also the movie's producers were belittled by both Knox's lawyers and also the group of victim Meredith Kercher after promotions incorporated moments of Kercher being attacked. Amanda Knox didn't air in Italia because of legal reasons, as Knox's situation was ongoing at that time. Most probably, since the situation is closed, the film might finally be proven there. (Associates say there is no intends to screen the film in Italia at this time, however, as some legal loose finishes remain.) Last winter Amanda Knox executive producer Craig Piligian told TV Guide Magazine the producers ensured to not take sides within the debate over Knox's guilt or innocence. "Everyone's divided, and also the viewing public will probably be divided too,Inch Piligian stated at that time. "That is what makes this this type of great story." Audiences may have several chances to trap Amanda Knox: Murder On Trial in Italia within the next couple of days. Besides Tuesday's airing on Lifetime, sister funnel Lifetime Movie Network will screen it on Thursday. Next, speculation has begun which news organization might land the exclusive first interview with Knox. ABC and NBC are seen as the early management, as both news divisions happen to be on the top from the Knox story for a while. Sign up for TV Guide Magazine now!

The bold and also the bald
Seth Rogen and Frederick Gordon-Levitt party in the Four Seasons.
Summit's Take advantage of Friedman with Hoda Kotb
Helmer Jonathan Levine and
Will Reiser
Anna Kendrick
The Rx for Monday night's "50/50" premiere in the Ziegfeld in Gotham was laughter -- and a lot of it. Summit Entertainment's dark comedy, according to author-producer Will Reiser's fight with cancer, gave close friend Seth Rogen an opportunity to imagine themself without his curly locks. "I really shaved my mind in senior high school also it wasn't pretty. My looks got much worse," joked Rogen. "My style is not far better. The final factor I purchased would be a strap-on dildo yesterday." Reiser rapidly found his pal's aid, and added, "He wears rid of it, though." Pic's Frederick Gordon-Levitt described it was his second time breaking the shears to shave his mind. "I simply got done carrying this out really heavy movie known as 'The Lookout' and that i wanted to get away from that mind space and so i buzzed it," Gordon-Levitt stated from the 2007 pic. "I regretted it rapidly as my mind am cold immediately." Publish-preem, visitors filled the 4 Seasons Restaurant to have an very mellow party. "Saturday Evening Live" star Bill Hader overheard the shaved-mind question and stated to Gordon-Levitt, "C'mon, I am sure it did not look that bad. I must get it done however i have this huge dent during my mind. I'd seem like a 'Star Wars' character." "Today" host Hoda Kotb congratulated co-stars Anjelica Huston and Anna Kendrick, who wouldn't spill any beans around the approaching "Twilight" installment. Edward Norton talked with Hader, Rogen and the fiance, Lauren Burns, over cocktails and sushi. "Adding humor to this type of sensitive subject is very difficult," stated Norton. "However they managed to get work." Added Hader, "The finish just makes you need to smile." Contact the range newsroom at news@variety.com
