CHRISTOPHER EGAN IN TORONTO FILMING ABC'S "POE"

Christopher Egan & Mr. Will-W.

At long last, I've found him!  The Cast and Crew of ABC's Poe have set-up camp in downtown Toronto after a couple days of filming out east at Whitby's Trafalgar Castle.  Earlier this evening, a bunch of savvy Fans caught  handsome Australian Actor Christopher Egan, known best for his work in Romantic-Comedy Letters to Juliet and NBC's Kings.  Egan was just finishing a Lunch Break during the late-night shoot with Co-Star Natalie Dormer of BBC's acclaimed The Tudors and upcoming Feature, Captain America: The First Avenger.

Dormer joked, "We're going to have to start charging for Photos you know!" as she posed happily with Fans and signed some Autographs.  Egan, who plays the lead role of Edgar Allen Poe in the Series Pilot, out of concern asked, "How long have you Guys been out here?".  Fortunately it wasn't too frigid out, although surely the rise in temperature and his arrival in the City seem to be a bit of a coincidence, no?

NATALIE DORMER & KEVIN MCNALLY OF ABC'S "POE" SPOTTED IN TORONTO

Natalie Dormer & Mr. Will-W.

ABC's eagerly-awaited Television Series Pilot Poe starts filming tomorrow and I've spotted a few more Cast members in and around town. No luck yet though in sighting its star Christopher Egan, who reportedly has transformed his appearance with darker hair.

I did have the pleasure of meeting lovely The Tudors star Natalie Dormer who will be playing the role of Celeste Chevalier, romantic partner of Edgar Allen Poe (Egan). Dormer who actually is a Blonde originally, was absolutely lovely taking the time to chat for a bit after a day of preparations, telling me that today was a bit hectic as final touches are being completed for tomorrow. She spotted my Hunter Wellingtons and thought brought her a big smile, being a Brit.

Kevin McNally & Mr. Will-W.

Veteran Actor Kevin McNally, a fellow Brit to Dormer, also was spotted today and many of us might remember him for his work more recently in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. He will be playing the role of Kyle Kilpatrick in Poe and he also was v. friendly, chuckling at my complaints of the cold weather in Toronto. "Come on now, you should be used to it by now!", he told me. Well, he does have a point.

I wish the Cast and Crew of Poe all the best with filming as the Series looks superb already in its perfect casting.  Cannot wait to see how it will turn out and I cannot wait to meet The Talented Mr. Egan!

AUSTRALIAN ACTRESS TABRETT BETHELL IN TORONTO FOR ABC'S "POE"

Tabrett Bethell & Mr. Will-W.

Although she might not be familiar now, Tabrett Bethell is a name you really need to keep on your radar.  The beautiful Australian Actress was spotted out and about in Toronto this weekend as she is amidst  Pre-production for ABC's hotly-tipped new Project, Poe.  The Pilot for the Series will be filming in Toronto over the next few weeks and stars handsome Letters to Juliet Star Christopher Egan, a fellow Aussie, as Detective Crime Writer Edgar Allen Poe.  The Tudors' Natalie Dormer also stars.

Bethell who is still getting familiarized with Toronto, crossed paths with me and  after spotting her, she confessed that all she wanted really was to find a proper Juice Shop, after wandering about unable to find one in the area.  In exchange for us taking a Photo together, I put my Blackberry to use helping her locate a Booster Juice in the area and she was thankful, enjoying her Carrot-blend Beverage needed to power her up for a day of work.

She also whispered to me that co-star Egan should be arriving v. soon.  Can't wait!

REVIEW: LETTERS TO JULIET

Amanda Seyfried is quickly becoming one of Hollywood's hottest new actresses and after watching Letters To Juliet, I could not help but be reminded of a young Michelle Pfeiffer with her engaging demeanour and pensive eyes. The film centers around Sophie (Seyfried) who decides to go on a trip to Italy with her fiancé Victor (Gael Garcia Bernal). They both have very different agendas though. Victor is a Restauranteur there to do research. Seyfried, a Writer and Fact Checker by-day is there simply to enjoy herself and the gaps in her relationship with Victor become more and more apparent throughout their trip.

Sophie one day decides to visit Casa Di Giulietta (Juliet's House) where heartbroken women leave letters stuck to its wall in hopes of getting romantic advice back - a longtime tradition. She stumbles upon a team of women, or Juliet's Secretaries, who actually respond to these letters in writing and Sophie is fascinated by this. She stumbles upon a 50 year-old letter from a British woman named Claire (Vanessa Redgrave) who missed out on an opportunity for true love while visiting Italy in her youth. Sophie makes it a mission to help Claire find her true love Lorenzo, but she is met with challenge from her grandson Charlie (Christopher Egan), who is afraid to see his grandmother get hurt.
