"Take Flight" Takes Gary Oldman and Juliet Landau To New Creative Heights

Gary Oldman and Juliet Landau have a few things in common.

Both are well-known actors. Both have played vampires. Both have also lent their voices for animated features.

He directed a music video for Chutzpah, a Jewish hip-hop group, but made it unique by using only cell-phone cameras (Nokia N93 cellphone, by the way). He then asked Juliet to direct a "behind the scenes" feature on how it was done.

Season three of The Guild has just been released on DVD. Unlike previous seasons, where the show and story lines were more like a typical sitcom, the third season is structured like a movie called "The Fall and Rise of the Knights of Good."
