Danielle Panabaker‘s indie feature ‘Weakness’ is now available on DVD and VOD! Here’s an interview with director Michael Melamedoff, coming from Gravitas Ventures:
What inspired you to write the story that eventually became the film? Are there any connections between the film’s plot and your life or someone you know?
I started writing “Weakness” a year after graduating college. It began as a very loose collection of ideas and characters. I wrote a draft at 22 and put it away for a long time. In my mid-20?s I ended a long term relationship, and in the months that followed made a series of choices that felt overtly familiar. I dug out the first draft of “Weakness” and recognized elements of my own decision making on the page. What interested me weren’t the events themselves, as much as the way I had sublimated my desires over the course of many years. How people come to terms with their needs and desires is an interesting subject to me. I subsequently began rewriting and expanding the script, introducing a new world of characters as well. Most significantly, Danielle Panabaker’s character did not exist in early drafts of the script.Many of the film’s main characters have been involved in major studio films over the past few years. How did you choose whom to cast and how did you get them interested in your film?
I actually wrote the role of “Elizabeth” for June Diane Raphael; we’ve been friends for about ten years now. Additionally, I had a wonderful producer and casting director on this film, Lois Drabkin. Her presence in the casting industry made it possible to get the script into the right hands. I was then fortunate that a lot of very talented people responded to the material. I spent a year flying back and forth between New York and California casting the film. I didn’t audition anyone for this film; I simply sat down and talked with everyone over coffee. Bobby Cannavale and I primarily talked about sports in our meeting. I remember meeting Danielle Panabaker — she was my very first casting meeting for this film — and knowing immediately that she was the one.

The gallery has been updated with a new production still featuring beautiful Danielle Panabaker. You can check it out by clicking on the picture above!
Weakness follows the life of high school teacher Joshua Polansky (Bobby Cannavale), whose world is falling apart: his wife, Elizabeth (June Diane Raphael), wants to start swinging; his mother, Lenore (Phyllis Somerville), thinks she has terminal cancer; and his autistic brother, Pete (Keith Nobbs), who resides at an assisted living home. At school, things get complicated as a love triangle of sorts develops between Joshua and his teaching colleagues, the wise-cracking Bart (Josh Charles), and idealist Katharine (Lily Rabe). When Elizabeth leaves him, Joshua retreats from his responsibilities and begins dating Danielle, (Danielle Panabaker), a former student who has postponed attending college. Joshua’s subsequent regression and indecision fail to mask his anger and hurt, leading to a series of events that force him to reconsider not only his decisions, but the subtle and profound ways that people affect one another.
‘Weakness’ stars Bobby Cannavale and Danielle Panabaker.
Coming from The Daily Blam!
Gulager says that “anything and everything” fans can expect to happen when piranhas are unleashed in a water park will be in the sequel. In comparison to the first film Gulager conveyed the sequel is “kind of sillier,” but will still bring the gore and nudity as the first film did. “It’s Piranha 3DD and we bring the DDs!” When I addressed my concerns about how the piranhas carnage in a water park would compare to a giant lake considering the victims can just jump out of the pools he replied, “That was one of our jokes. I was thinking… even in the lake, if you look at it, it’s about 15 minutes for someone to go about 20 ft. You know? All they have to do is get out of the water so it’s still the same thing.”
In the first film, it was revealed that the killer fish responsible for the film’s death toll were merely the babies, and that there were still bigger fish to fry… much bigger fish. When I inquired about the giant piranhas playing a role in the sequel he teased, “Maybe you’ll see bigger ones… and smaller ones. Like little hatchlings maybe.” He then added, “we kind of felt obligated [to include them]… You will see big ones but not as many as maybe we started out with in the script. [laughs] You know how that goes.”
Word was going around that the awaited trailer was scheduled to be released before the sci-fi horror film Apollo 18, which was later stated as false. Gulager says he’s not sure when the trailer will be brought out but he has seen it and says “it’s pretty awesome” and if you’re a fan of this kind of film then you will dig it.
‘Piranha 3DD’ stars Danielle Panabaker, Matt Bush, Chris Zylka and Katrina Bowden. It will debut in theaters on November 23!
First of all, there have been some rumors floating around, saying that the ‘Piranha 3DD’ trailer will be screened before ‘Apollo 18′, which opens in theaters today. Just to clarify, coming from the ‘Piranha 3DD’ official Facebook:
We apologize for not clarifying on the previous post! The PIRANHA 3DD trailer will NOT be before APOLLO 18 in theaters! We just wanted all you PIRANHA fans to get excited about one of our other movies! Sorry for the confusion!
So, unfortunately, no trailer for us (at least for now!).
But not everything is sad news, the gallery has been updated with the first behind-the-scenes photo featuring Danielle Panabaker! This one comes from Gary Tunnicliffe’s (the special makeup & creature effects designer) official website. Here’s what he had to say about it:
![]()
I happen to LOVE a highly underrated and almost unknown movie called Mr.Brooks, It was introduced to me by my wife and I adore it, the performances (Dane Cook aside) the story, the tone…everything.
I have been fortunate enough to chat with Demi Moore about the movie and then when it came to Piranha 3DD I got to work with none other than ‘Janie Brook’ herself the wonderful Danielle Panabaker, we chatted about the movie in detail and then one day when I was doing her make up I suprised her further by playing the excellent piece of music ‘Vicious Traditions’ by The Veils that is heard during the amazing scene when ‘Janie’ committs a particularly heinous act on her Father (Kevin Costner)
THEN it happened Danielle re-enacted that wonderful scene with me…and Mike snapped a great photo of it!!…I healed up eventually but it was worth to re-capture one of cinemas great moments!!…enjoy!
Danielle Panabaker has been busy shooting her new film ‘Girls Against Boys‘ in New York City and New Jersey. I’ve updated the gallery with a few pictures of Danielle and some of her co-stars (Nicole LaLiberte and Caroline Lagerfelt) on location.
Here’s also a very short BTS clip (source: Daniel Sollinger)
Just thought I’d share this with you since this is the only trailer that’s completely different from the one released by Warner Bros. Uk last January. If you haven’t seen the film this should get you even more excited!
The Ward opens in japanese cinemas September 17!
John Carpenter’s The Ward is NOW available on Blu-ray and DVD. Make sure you get your copy today!
To celebrate the release, I’ve updated the gallery with over 700 Blu-ray quality screencaptures of Danielle Panabaker looking fabulous as flirtatious Sarah. If you haven’t seen the film you might want to skip the last couple of pages to avoid spoiling yourself!
The Ward is also available on DVD in Australia and Brazil. It is coming to a theater near you if you live in Japan (09.17), Germany (09.29) or The Hague (Netherlands, 09.01).
HD screencaptures of Danielle Panabaker in last night’s episode of “Necessary Roughness” have been added to the gallery! For those wondering, Danielle played Juliette. In (our visitor) Athena’s words:
The daughter of the football team’s owner, who “drinks too much, and parties too much.” She’s always relied on Nico (Scott Cohen) to bail her out of trouble.
I truly enjoyed this episode, and I think Danielle was awesome! Juliette is definitely one of my favorite characters now, hopefully we’ll get to see more of her in the future. Enjoy the sexyness!
