http://www.tv-eh.com/2009/08/17/deg...iere-screening/

Hi all,


In the news, Move over, Kevin Smith — there’s a new director in town and his name is Stefan Brogren.

As the man also known as Archie (Snake) Simpson in front of the camera, Brogren has transitioned seamlessly to behind-the-scenes jobs.

He’s already helmed Degrassi: The Next Generation’s online content, like webisodes and Halloween specials, and now he’s taking charge of one of the biggest on-air events in Degrassi history — the TV-movie Paradise City: Degrassi Goes Hollywood.


Awesome!

‘Paradise’ road


http://tvguide.sympatico.msn.ca/Int...grassi_movie_DW

Hi all,


Forbes March, landed a role on Degrassi’s next untitled TV-movie! The Canadian actor travelled to Toronto to film for three days to play the role of George. March attended one of Degrassi’s gay crew member’s wedding. When producers met March at the ceremony, they were quite taken with the actor and offered him a part. During the filming, the Degrassi cast and crew were seriously impressed with the actor’s work, so don’t be too surprised if he returns to the series down the road. Expect the movie, which came on the heels of Degrassi’s explosive hit and critically acclaimed telefilm, Paradise City, to air sometime next year.


Awesome another Tv Movie!
