I’ve added a total of 381 screencaptures of one of Sam’s earliest films, Lawn Dogs, to the gallery - thanks to the lovely Barbara, who made and donated them! But I should warn you: there is some nudity in quite a few captures ;p

I had to go back to the old layout, as I screwed up the current one - sorry! lol

A journalist and a U.S. president will provide the opening-night drama at this year’s BFI London Film Festival as “Frost/Nixon” kickstarts the event.

Organizers will roll out the red carpet for Ron Howard’s big-screen adaptation of Peter Morgan’s stage play Oct. 15.

Michael Sheen and Frank Langella reprise their West End and Broadway roles as journalist David Frost and President Richard Nixon in the film that LFF artistic director Sandra Hebron described as a “fascinating study of a unique moment in cultural and political life.”

Kevin Bacon, Oliver Platt, Sam Rockwell, Rebecca Hall, Toby Jones and Matthew Macfadyen round out the cast in the movie, which centers on the 1977 televised David Frost and Richard Nixon interviews.

Those interviews attracted the largest audience for a news program in the history of American television, with more than 45 million viewers.

Howard and producer Brian Grazer, together with Working Title’s Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner, are expected to be on hand to herald the movie’s world premiere in London.

Universal Pictures will release the film in the U.K. in January.

The LFF is set for Oct. 15-30.

Anna Faris, commonly known for films such as Smiley Face and the Scary Movies, has discussed with MTV the possibility of her project about Linda Lovelace (a.k.a. Deep Throat) finally coming to life.

In the film, entitled Inferno, to be directed by Matthew Wilder (Your Name Here), Sam would play Ms. Lovelace’s husband. Here’s what Anna had to say about the film:

We’re still trying to put it together,” explained the affable actress, who will reportedly be appearing opposite Sam Rockwell in the flick. “I’m going to do ['Observe & Report' with Seth Rogen] first, and then hopefully we’ll get together for the summer.

SRO will keep you posted if this ever turns out to be for real.
