SUPPORT KIDS' HEALTH: SICKKIDS HOSPITAL'S "DO THE HAPPY" CAMPAIGN

Toronto SickKids Hospital's Do The Happy Campaign

Toronto's SickKids Hospital is raising awareness towards Children's Health Issues this May. Problems at the forefront include Childhood Obesity which has tripled in the last 25 years, and Traumatic Brain Injuries - the leading cause of Death and Acquired Disability in Children under 14. You can help by pitching-in to raise awareness and funds simply by attending one of their Do The Happy Events or by making a Donation!

See some Stars in Toronto show their support for the Do The Happy Campaign - a few connections which Mr. Will-W.:Pop Maven might have played a small part in making happen!

JAY BARUCHEL, TERENCE STAMP, KATHERYN WINNICK & MATT DILLON FILMING "THE BLACK MARKS"

Top to Bottom - L to R: Terence Stamp, Jonathan Sobol, Katheryn Winnick, Matt Dillon, Jay Baruchel & Mr. Will-W.

I had the absolute pleasuring of meeting some of the Cast and Director of forthcoming Feature, The Black Marks finally after pondering it at great lengths. The second Film from Toronto's Jonathan Sobol looks to be highly entertaining, being about a retired Motorcycle Daredevil/Art Thief named Crunch Calhoun (Kurt Russell) who gathers his old Crew - including his Brother Nicky (Matt Dillon) - to perform one last Heist on a priceless book. Think Ocean's Eleven, a wittier plot and a real expensive Book. The outstanding Cast includes also Montreal's Jay Baruchel, both Toronto's Katheryn Winnick and Chris Diamantopoulos, Hamilton's Jason Jones, plus British Thespian Terence Stamp.

Filming for the Dimension Films release has shifted between Niagara Falls, Hamilton and Toronto and I learned through Baruchel that he actually has a deep attachment to Hamilton, having filmed in Steel City multiple times in the past.  "What?  You saw it??", he asked with his jaw dropped after telling him how hard I laughed at his upcoming Hockey Comedy Goon, in theatres February 24, 2012 via Alliance Films.  Genuinely touched, he said "You don't know how much that actually means to me!".  Of course, Baruchel is deeply-attached to the Film as he not only stars in it, but also co-wrote its Screenplay along with Evan Goldberg. Although it premiered last September at TIFF, we just may be seeing him again on the Red Carpet here in Toronto soon to ring-in its official release.
