ELI ROTH IN TORONTO FOR "HEMLOCK GROVE"

Eli Roth in Toronto - July 2012

Producer/Writer/Director and sometimes Actor Eli Roth has been working away for the past month on his forthcoming Netflix Series, Hemlock Grove and although he's been to Toronto several times already, I never had the opportunity of meeting him.  Fan-friendly Roth was spotted out and about today in the City's Fashion District, up-and-at-'em early after an overnight Shoot last night.

The Hostel Director is attached as a Producer to RZA's upcoming Kung-Fu Flick The Man with the Iron Fists, starring Russell Crowe, Lucy Liu, Jamie Chung and Pam Grier.  There are rumours that Roth will be directing Crowe as Dracula also in Warner Bros.' Harker.  He also will be helming another Title, Green Inferno, due in theatres 2014.

Hemlock Grove films in the City till mid-December.

See Roth in-person Monday, July 30, 2012 at TIFF Bell Lightbox as he presents the Horror Flick, Cannibal Ferox. Get your tickets here.

LILI TAYLOR IN TORONTO FOR "HEMLOCK GROVE"

Lili Taylor in Toronto - July 2012

The immensely-talented Lili Taylor was spotted today in Toronto in friendly spirits!  Taylor currently is in Toronto filming Eli Roth's Netflix Series Hemlock Grove.  The charismatic Actress gained popularity in the late '80s alongside Julia Roberts in Comedy Mystic Pizza and since then her Career has seen several highs including work on popular Films like Say Anything, High Fidelity, Born on the Fourth of July and also a recurring Role on HBO's Six Fee Under.  She still looks gorgeous, don't you agree?

With four Films due for release over the next year, perhaps her most high-profile Movie is Blood Ties, which has her starring alongside Mila Kunis, Zoe Saldana, Clive Owen and Marion Cotillard. The Crime-Drama centers around two Brothers on both sides of the Law, facing-off in Brooklyn in the '70s.

BILL SKARSGÅRD IN TORONTO FOR "HEMLOCK GROVE"

Bill Skarsgård in Toronto - July 2012

Just when you thought you knew the Skarsgårds, now comes the latest in a Family of brilliant Actors - Bill. Although he's already established himself in Sweden as one to look-out for, the 23-year-old Brother of Alexander (True Blood) and Son of Stellan (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Avengers) is now making a name for himself in these parts. He can be seen in this November's Romantic-Drama Anna Karenina, starring Keira Knightley, Jude Law and Aaron Johnson, which looks every bit like Oscar Bait... and possibly a TIFF 2012 Candidate?

Skarsgård currently is in Toronto working on Eli Roth's latest Netflix Horror Series, Hemlock Grove, starring the likes of Famke Janssen and Dougray Scott. The Series films until December in the City, although he appears simultaneously to be working also on a Norwegian Project titled Victoria.

The handsome Actor who bears an unmistakable resemblance (the eyes!) to his Brother and Father, was spotted out and about doing a Grocery run earlier, stocking-up for a week of work on Hemlock Grove, which last week had its Cast and Crew all the way out in Port Perry.  

Definitely one to keep a tab on.

FAMKE JANSSEN IN TORONTO FOR "HEMLOCK GROVE"

Famke Janssen in Toronto - July 2012

Looking sharp in a red leather Pencil Skirt and an Umbrella to keep that skin fair, X-Men Star Famke Janssen was spotted earlier today in Toronto. The Actress was accompanied by her adorable black Boston Terrier, Licorice, as she headed for a day of Prep Work on Eli Roth's forthcoming Netflix Series Hemlock Grove which begins filming shortly in Toronto.

Fresh out of the shower, she declined a Photo. "My hair is still wet. Sorry. Next time!". At least she was nice about it.

Janssen stars as Olivia Godfrey in the Horror Series about a Werewolf who struggles with being Human and Monster.
