In the interview Luke says he’s happy he didn’t get the role of Edward Cullen (“being Robert Pattinson must be really hard right now, with everyone looking at you”), he spent the money earned with “Brothers & Sisters” to travel to Europe and he confirms that he’s going to film “Ocean Beach” (as soon as they find enough money to produce it) playing Isabella Rossellini’s son.

Some of the photos of Luke at public events have been replaced with their high quality equivalents thanks to my awesome friend Mel. Here’s the rundown of albums updated:

After months of searching I finally managed to find the photoshoot of Luke for the Barneys New York Spring/Summer 2009 mailer by Mark Segal. Digital scans of the mailer were previously added (and can be seen here). These are the same photos (minus the cover, unfortunately) without the tags, in the same size:

Things are extremely slow, no news and no new photos to add, so we might as well gossip a little bit waiting for whatever’s next.

1) Photographer Mark Squires (that shot Luke for “Giant” magazine earlier this year), added a post about him on his official blog:

I met this young johnny depp like actor in LA for a young hollywood portfolio i was working on. Luke and I got along really great. He’s def the type of guy i would hang with.. taking his picture was an ease and we managed to have a lot of fun doing it. Look out for Luke’s acting career to burst in the coming years!

2) As I previously reported Luke will be featured in an upcoming issue of VMan, it could be either one of these, according to VMan’s press kit:

FALL – V MAN 15
Sport / Fall Fashion
August 13, 2009
Rising althletic superstars from around the world, insiders’ look at sport culture, the latest and greatest in the world of video games, and emerging forms of play. Plus: winner and runners-up of the third VMAN / Ford Model Search and top Fall fashion looks

WINTER – V MAN 16
Design + Business / Spring Preview
October 27, 2009
The young innovators who are transforming industries around the world, plus the best in cars, furniture, products, gear, gadgets, cars and clothing, and a look ahead to 2010. Plus: a first look at Spring fashion

My bet is on the winter issue. The photo from Luke’s previous spread in VMan was taken in September 2007 and featured in the Spring/Summer 2008 issue. You do the math.

“Assassination of a High School President” is scheduled for a October 6th DVD and Blu-Ray release, one week earlier than what was previously announced by Walmart (that is now listing a December 31, 2010 release date on its site – yeah right). Here’s and extract from the official press release from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment via The DVD Lounge (read it in full cliking the previous link):

ASSASSINATION OF A HIGH SCHOOL PRESIDENT

Culver City, CA (8/3/2009) – This Fall, go back to school for hilarious and twisted fun as the dark comedy “Assassination of a High School President” arrives on DVD October 6th from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. A witty high school satire in the tradition of Election and Rushmore, “Assassination of a High School President”stars Mischa Barton (TV’s “The O.C.”, The Sixth Sense), Reece Thompson (Rocket Science) and Hollywood heavyweight Bruce Willis (Die Hard series, upcoming Surrogates) as the comically intense principal of St. Donovan’s, a private high school rife with mystery and a cunning student body portrayed by some of today’s hottest young stars, including, Aaron Himelstein (The Informers) and Luke Grimes (TV’s “Brothers & Sisters”). The film earned top grades from critics at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, where it was praised for its clever writing, unique characters and sharp acting, notably from relative newcomer Thompson, who shines in the role of a geeky newspaper writer who uncovers a secret plot to overthrow the school president when a stack of SATs is stolen from the principal’s office and a high school newspaper’s cover story fingers popular class president as the prime suspect. Now, “Assassination of a High School President” arrives on DVD, plotting comic intrigue for movie lovers everywhere.

Extracurricular activities on the “Assassination of a High School President” include alternate opening sequences, extended and alternate scenes, deleted scenes and optional commentary. For a high school comedy in a class of its own, check out “Assassination of a High School President” on DVD this October 6 at an SRP of $24.96. [...]

I will believe it only when I see the actual DVD box in my hands.
