Tom Holland’s Twisted Tales

Kogitsune here with a quick update about Ryan’s latest project. Not much is known about it at present, so expect this post to be updated when more information surfaces.

Ryan’s currently shooting an episode of Tom Holland’s Twisted Tales for FEARnet. Fans of the horror genre might recognize Tom Holland as the writer/director of Fright Night and Child’s Play, among others. Twisted Tales is a series of short films done in the style of shows like The Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, Tales from the Crypt and Amazing Stories.

Ryan’s episode, entitled “Bite,” features the story of a werewolf, which Ryan plays.

“Shattered Silence” Trailer

Shattered Silence“Suburban mom Rachel feels pretty lucky; while other moms talk about their fights with their moody daughters, Rachel and Dina have a close relationship. Dina tells her everything… or so Rachel thought.

When Dina suddenly commits suicide, Rachel is devastated and confused. Her search for answers as to what happened in her daughter’s final days leads her to some painful discoveries about the secrets that Dina was trying to keep and the bullying that was tearing her apart.

Rachel’s quest helps her understand the pain her daughter was forced to endure when a naked picture intended for her boyfriend goes viral. But when Rachel starts receiving anonymous threats during her investigation, she realizes that there may be more going on than meets the eye.”

Gallery Maintenance

Hey guys,

Just providing a brief update to inform visitors that the gallery is currently down due to database issues. I was able to recover all of the images — which were all backed up anyway — but not the database itself. Meaning that the gallery will be down while I’m in the process of rebuilding it, and reuploading the pictures. This also means that image links from previous posts no longer apply.

I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

Update: The gallery is back online.

These kinda came in under the radar until Nathan Keyes pointed them out on his Twitter. So credit goes to him for bringing them to my and everyone else’s attention. Enjoy!

Alien Swarm Giveaway!

‘Tis the season for giving and I’m in the spirit. To celebrate the holidays that fall in the month of December, and the recent release of Ben 10: Alien Swarm on DVD and Blu-ray, I’ve decided to hold another drawing. Ryan Kelley Online is giving away three copies of the Cartoon Network original movie on DVD. Keep reading to find out see how you can win!

All you need to do to enter this contest is to sign up for an account right here on http://ryankelleyonline.com and reply to this blog post with any number between 1-200. That’s it! I’ll take entries between now and Wednesday, Dec. 9, 2009 at 5pm Pacific (GMT -8) when this thing comes to an end.

I will then use a random number generator, like the handy one at http://www.random.org/ to select the winners. Those people will receive an email from me at the address they used to sign up for their RKOnline account. This is important: Sign up with an email address that you have access to and intend to check! If I can’t get a hold of you, I’m picking another number.

Now, no contest is complete without some rules, so here they are:

1) Choose only one (1) number. And after a number is chosen nobody else can pick it. The number goes to the first person to post it based on timestamps.

2) Don’t sign up for multiple accounts. I’ll know, and nobody likes a cheater.

3) This time the contest is open to US and Canadian residents only. My apologies to our overseas friends. These DVDs are region one, and this contest (and subsequent shipping) are out of pocket expenses paid by yours truly.

4) If you do win, what you’ll receive is an unopened, still in the plastic copy of Ben 10: Alien Swarm on DVD (region one). That’s one disc, the movie with There For Tomorrow’s – “A Little Faster” music video, a behind the scenes featurette, and nothing else.

Tick Tock…

The wait is almost over! Only one day left until the US premier of Ben 10: Alien Swarm on Cartoon Network. The film has already generated quite a buzz for a made for TV movie, with both premiers in London and LA, and a fair amount of media coverage. The folks over at The Flickcast have posted interviews with Ryan and the rest of the cast that took place at Comic Con earlier in the year, and promise that there’s more to come.

Here’s a look:

Also, more pictures have made it into the Alien Swarm album in the gallery, including a full-size cast shot.
