Here’s an early review of Danielle’s new film The Crazies, a remake of George Romero’s classic horror opening February 26, 2010. It’s a pretty positive review, and even though it’s still a work-in-progress I must say I can’t wait! Additionally, a very 80′s horror new teaser poster has been realeased, clik on the thumbnail to view the full high resolution version:
While there have been a few good remakes, or re-imaginings, or whatever you want to call them (Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes to name a couple) the majority of them have come across as generally pointless cash-ins on franchises that haven’t even had much monetary or cultural relevance these days. So when I was invited to check out a remake of George A. Romero’s The Crazies, even though I hadn’t seen the original, my hopes were more or less pretty low to non existent.
My tune quickly changed… the towns sheriff (Timothy Olyphant), his deputy (Joe Anderson), a doctor (Rhada Mitchell); who also happens to be our young sheriff’s wife, and her young assistant played by a veteran in progress of the remake game, Friday the 13th’s Danielle Panabraker, fight for survival as they search the small, heavily military occupied, town for a way out.
All key actors do an above adequate job in their roles with Anderson providing a lot of laughs as the situation gets more and more dire.

Kay Panabaker is featured on the cover of the latest issue of Girls Life Magazine, which includes a very interesting article about her personal life and Fame. A few quotes about her early relationship with her sis Danielle:
Kay grew up with an older sis, Danielle, 22, who’s also an actress. And just like most little sisters, Kay idolized Danielle, wanting to be just as cool and popular. The only problem? Like most big sisters, Danielle didn’t want anything to do with Kay.
“I was always tagging along. I just wanted her to pay attention to me” says Kay. “We didn’t fight but we also didn’t spend that much time together. We just weren’t close. She had her friends, and when she was with her friends, I wasn’t allowed anywhere near them… At first, I could do nothing right. There was nothing that could make us like each other. But then she hit a point where I was the cute sister, and she could look after me.”
Today, Danielle and Kay are pretty much inseparable. (“She’s my closest, best friend. I tell her everything. She tells me everything,” says Kay.) And they’re there for each other through the ups and downs that come along as they pursue their Hollywood dreams.
Be sure to get the issue at your local stands to read the whole article! And of course, over a hundred new photos of Danielle Panabaker (looking like a rock star) and Kay attending the Fame Los Angeles Premiere have been added to the gallery, including some HQ’s. Enjoy!
Just a few hours ago Danielle Panabaker attended the premiere of “Fame” to support her little sister Kay at the Pacific Theatre at The Grove in Los Angeles, California. Danielle decided to keep it nice & simple, looking absolutely stunning (as usual.) Enjoy the first pics, more photos will be added as they arrive.
Here’s a small piece of news about Danielle’s new independent film Weakness (filmed earlier this year.) A recent interview with Neil Halstead:
It has been a busy and proud 18 months for Neil – the highlight being the birth of his twins last February – he signed with Brushfire Records last year, released his first album on Brushfire last August (‘Oh Mighty Engine’), did four tours in the US – including one with Jack Johnson – and two tours in the UK…
I am working on a soundtrack for a film called ‘Weakness’, which is due to be released next year. It’s a good – but small-budget – drama and the first film by theatre director Michael Melamedoff. This is the first soundtrack I’ve done and it has been challenging because it’s a very different way to work, more of a collaboration with the director, but I have enjoyed the experience.
Happy 22nd birthday Danielle! Thank your for all your hard work, amazing films and wonderful performances throughout the years. We, at D-Panabaker.Org wish you the best on this, your special day, we hope you enjoy it with all your friends and family. We will, of course, continue to support you Happy Birthday!
Feel free to leave a message for Danielle, unfortunately we weren’t able to build a birthday project, but we sure will next year!
One department in which Season 2 clearly outranks Season 1 is in guest star fame… recognizable one-time guests include Seal (playing himself), Friday the 13th‘s Danielle Panabaker (channeling Ellen Page as an independent physicist), and Twilight‘s Rachel Lefevre.
ABC’s final DVD for the program delivers a satisfactory presentation and a decent 23 minutes of bonus video. That is much less than what was offered on Season 1, which has now enjoyed a price drop. That is the appropriate place to start enjoying the series. If you’re happy to already house that in your DVD collection, you would be apt to let this set join it.
Eli Stone: The Complete Second Season is now available on DVD. Danielle made a guest appearance in episode 8, Owner of a Lonely Heart (as Genny Clarke). More info on the episode: Here
Screencaptures of Danielle’s appearance are available in our gallery.
First footage of “The Ward” has appeared at Canal +, you can watch it by clicking on the image, the clip is in french but it stills gives away an exclusive (very short) behind the scenes bit of the fim (Danielle’s not featured).
For all of those who still don’t know The Ward is a supernatural thriller starring Amber Heard, Danielle Panabaker and Jared Harris about a girl admitted to a psychiatric ward (Heard), where she meets other girls (leaded by Danielle) there with distinct personalities only to discover a mysterious girl haunting the halls at night.
If Kay Panabaker, earmarked by Hollywood Reporter as “one to watch”, is starting to look familiar, make sure you’ve got the right Panabaker in your sights. Older sister Danielle, 22, is a spitting image – most recognisable from a long-running stint on the American TV series Shark, playing James Woods’ daughter, her turn in 2005 Disney flick Sky High and a role as Rene Russo’s daughter in the step-sibling fest Yours, Mine and Ours.
The sisters are also best friends… “Eventually I’m sure we will go up for the same roles but we have such different personalities and such different styles of acting there is no competition,” says Panabaker of her sister’s career. “I’m more upset because she travels and I travel and it’s like, when are we going to see each other?”
When they do catch up, it’s been to double date with their boyfriends (both of whom, says Kay, “are in the business, which is nice”).
