Bennett Robbins Productions has completed post-production of Playback, an independent horror thriller starring Toby Hemingway, Johnny Pacar, Ambyr Childers, Jonathan Keltz, Alessandra Torresani, Jennifer Missoni, and featuring Christian Slater. The producers are currently seeking distribution of the film.
The film features music from The Sounds, Shiny Toy Guns, AWOLNation, innerpartysystem, My Passion, Kill Hannah, High Tension Wires, K.Flay, Guadalupe Plata, Carol Bui, Youth Mass, and Playback star Johnny Pacar’s own band Forever the Day.
Synopsis – While digging into their town’s infamous past, a group of high school students unwittingly unlock an even darker secret. Now an evil spirit has been awakened to possess and destroy its victims through video playback, stopping at nothing to find his true heir.
True Story – The mythos of Playback is rooted in the mysterious disappearance of Louis Le Prince, a French inventor considered by many film historians to be the true father of motion pictures. In October, 1888, Le Prince captured “Roundhay Garden Scene” and “Leeds Bridge Scene” on paper film using a single-lens camera, several years before competitors Auguste and Louis Lumière and Thomas Edison released their inventions.
Le Prince was planning a public exposition for his films at Jumel Mansion in New York City when he vanished without a trace. He was last seen in Dijon on Friday, September 16, 1890, boarding the 2:42 p.m. train for Paris.
Theories about his disappearance abound. Some believe he committed suicide. Some say he was assassinated by henchmen working for Thomas Edison. Some say he succumbed to financial and social pressure from his family and “disappeared” to live his life in obscurity in the US. Still others believe his disappearance was due to darker, even more nefarious reasons.

Ale’s got a new project already under her belt, she’s been avidly tweeting out about Circling the Drain! No word on what it’s about but it looks like it’s a WB show and we all know the WB always has the best shows. We for one, are totally stoked.
I am ridiculously ticked about this, Caprica was such a great show and never really got the chance it deserved. Whatevs, I’ll be here supporting my Mamma C. She’ll go on and fans will just have to speculate on how the rest would have been. Sigh.
The journey into the creation of the V world and the events leading to “Battlestar Galactica” in the form of the series “Caprica” is over.
In a simple press release, Syfy shared Wednesday what many fans feared and expected: “Caprica” has been cancelled after a single season.
“We appreciate all the support the fans have shown for ‘Caprica’ and are very proud of the producers, cast, writers and the rest of the amazing team that has been committed to this fine series,” said Mark Stern, executive vice president of original programming, in a statement. “Unfortunately, despite its obvious quality, ‘Caprica’ has not been able to build the audience necessary to justify a second season.”
The writing seemed to be on the wall as early as Friday when the network announced it was reformatting its planned web prequel series “Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome” to an actual television series, utilizing the talents of Battlestar executive producer David Eick as well as former producers David Weddle and Bradley Thompson, who spent two seasons on “CSI” on CBS.
At the time of the announcement, speculation kicked into high gear about the fate of “Caprica,” with sources telling AIrlock Alpha at the time that the network was not interested in having two BSG prequel series running on the network at the same time.
“My sincere gratitude to the fans,” said Sasha Roiz, who played gangster Sam Adama on the show, through his Twitter. “It was a joy to be a part of this quality show. Thank you for letting us into your home and imagination.
“It was a wonderful experience that I will always cherish. I’ll miss Sam and the world we created. Thanks again for following and supporting.”
Alessandra Torresani, who played Zoe Graystone in the series, tried to keep a happy face despite the bad news in her Twitter feed.
“I love my lil Cylons so much and will continue to kick ass,” Torresani wrote. “It’s a very sad day. Time for Mama Cylon to go cry a river! It’s OK, I have you lil Cylons to make me smile.”
