The 'Hollywood Graveyard' Tour

Come take a stroll through Hollywood Graveyard, and see where your favorite celebrities are buried.

HOLLYWOOD -- The YouTube series of star-studded cemeteries produced by Arthur Dark are becoming must-see tombstone tourism.

It was almost like Arthur Dark was born for this.

He’s got the voice, the passion, video editing chops, research skills, the look - and the vocabulary that lends to entertaining (and respectful) YouTube tours of notable graveyards around Los Angeles and the country.

"The curtain is drawn, the credits have rolled -- Still the stars burn ever brightly."

Filmmaker Arthur Dark and composer Giusppe Vasapolli take you on a journey of remembrance in their Famous Grave Tour videos.

Amassing over 100,000 subscribers since it’s debut in 2017, Dark’s Hollywood Graveyard channel is one of the most popular series of its type online.

We had a chance to ask him about our local cemeteries, the diversity of sizes and styles of celebrity gravestones, and what’s the deal with unmarked graves.

What got you interested in documenting graveyards on YouTube?

It was a combination of many things: combined interests in entertainment, Hollywood history and a dash of the macabre.

Initially, I just found visiting famous graves myself fascinating, being able to connect with and pay my respects to individuals whose work I knew and loved. And in connecting with individuals I already knew, I would be introduced to new ones along the way, introduced to them, and their work - movies, TV shows, music, writings, etc., opening me up to an as-of-yet untapped mine of entertainment. I was delving much deeper into the history of Hollywood and entertainment, and in doing so, broadening my own horizons, so to speak.

These were experiences I was sure others would enjoy, and appreciate, but it’s not always easy (or possible) to find famous graves. So I sought to find ways to make tombstone tourism more accessible, make it less intimidating, easier to find the graves of these notable individuals, or if not possible to visit them in person, allow audiences to visit them “virtually” through video tours. Hence Hollywood Graveyard was born... Read The Full Story.

'A Quiet Place' Part II - Sign Language Film

A Quiet Place (2020) - Official Trailer - Paramount Pictures.

HOLLYWOOD -- A Quiet Place Part II: is an upcoming American horror film that is the sequel to A Quiet Place (2018). A family living on a farm hides from a supernatural evil attracted to sound by avoiding making sound and communicating in sign language. The sequel film, written and directed by John Krasinski, stars Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe reprising their roles from the first film. Cillian Murphy and Djimon Hounsou also star in supporting roles.

Talks for a sequel began in April 2018 following the box-office success of the first film. By August 2018, Krasinski was writing the film, and he was hired in February 2019 to direct. Production took place in Upstate New York from June 2019 to September 2019. Paramount Pictures plans to release A Quiet Place: Part II in theaters on March 20, 2020.

Read More: 'A Quiet Place' (2018) - Sign Language Film

Paramount Pictures produced the first film, A Quiet Place, on a budget of $17 million. Paramount released the film in the United States and Canada in April 2018 and grossed $50.2 million on opening weekend, well above a mid-$20 million forecast. Later in April, Paramount Chair and CEO Jim Gianopulos announced that a sequel was in development. (The first film ultimately grossed $188 million in the US and Canada and $340.9 million worldwide.) John Krasinski, who directed and starred in the first film, said he considered it "as a one-off" but that with the sequel planned, he started considering the larger fictional universe to explore possibilities. By August, Krasinski was writing the film, and a director had not been hired yet. According to Krasinski, Paramount rejected pitches from other writers and directors that were considered too franchise-oriented, and the studio invited him to write a script based on his "tiny idea that fit that world and could be exciting". Cinematographer Polly Morgan described the sequel's approach, "It's more about the children growing up, exploring the world and learning to protect themselves."

By February of 2019, Krasinski was hired to direct the sequel, and actors Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, and Noah Jupe were confirmed to reprise their roles. In March, Cillian Murphy joined the cast. In the following June, Brian Tyree Henry joined the cast, but he left the film due to scheduling problems. He was replaced by Djimon Hounsou in August.

In June 2019, production began on the sequel. Filming officially commenced on July 15, 2019. Filming took place throughout Upstate New York, including Erie County and one of its villages, Akron. Other locations included the city of North Tonawanda and the hamlet of Olcott in Niagara County, and Barcelona Harbor in the town of Westfield in Chautauqua County. Filming also took place on a sound stage in Buffalo, New York. One of the last filming locations, the northbound South Grand Island Bridge, was shut down for 13 hours for filming. The production invested over $10 million in Upstate New York, created 400 hires, and involved 300 background actors. By late September, production was finished.

Deaf Actor Cast As Superhero In DC's 'Titans'

Deaf transgender actor Chella Man talks being cast in 'Titans' as Jericho for DC universe series.

LOS ANGELES -- DC’s “Titans” has found its Jericho. Deaf activist, artist and model Chella Man, who’s transgender, has been cast in the role, portraying the mute superhero who uses sign language to communicate with his teammates.

Man told HuffPost that Jericho has a special significance for him as a Deaf individual who regularly communicates using sign language.

“Jericho’s primary mode of communication hits close to home,” Man said via email. “I rarely saw sign language authentically represented on screen growing up, so this incredible opportunity has made my heart soar.”

“Titans” cast Man for its second season. Jericho, the superhero son of villain Deathstroke, can possess anyone he makes eye contact with.

Man’s involvement in the series is a win for representation. According to the Ruderman Family Foundation, 95 percent of characters with disabilities are depicted by able-bodied actors in television. The significance of his casting isn’t lost on him. He said it’s “imperative” to cast actors with disabilities for disabled characters.

“Individuals with disabilities have long been misrepresented and underrepresented by all industries,” he wrote. “Casting disabled actors/actresses for disabled roles will aid to authentically represent and deconstruct stereotypes built around our identities.”

Man said that he doesn’t feel any of his traits are limitations and that with his acting, he can exhibit that.

“Take it from a Deaf queer, Jewish person of color who has always dreamed of being a superhero and has now been granted that exact opportunity,” he said.

Deaf Actress Millicent Simmonds 'A Quiet Place'

Meet the Deaf Utah teen who stars in thriller 'A Quiet Place'

BOUNTIFUL, Utah -- A Quiet Place stunned audiences and critics alike, garnering over $150 million at the worldwide box office and earning a 95 percent critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

The thriller film is the stuff of nightmares, as two parents fight to keep their children safe in a post-apocalyptic world while creatures hunt by sound and slaughter anyone who makes a noise.

But for Deaf Bountiful actress Millicent Simmonds, it’s been more a dream than a nightmare.

The 15-year-old plays Regan, the Deaf daughter of the Abbotts, portrayed by real-life husband and wife John Krasinski and Emily Blunt.

Regan’s parents have survived in a world that demands silence because they learned sign language to communicate with their Deaf daughter, but Regan still struggles to be understood in a place where a single sound could cost her her life.

To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.

“I really loved the story and thought it was unique,” Simmonds told KSL.com. “I also really loved the character Regan. She was brave, tough, a little rebellious, but really just wanted to contribute to the family. She was really complex.”

Unlike Regan, Simmonds wasn’t born deaf, but lost her hearing as an infant after an accidental medication overdose. She learned American Sign Language and attended a school for Deaf students until she decided to start regular high school in her teens.

At 14 years old and with no film credit to her name, Simmonds beat out 250 other candidates to land a leading role in the film “Wonderstruck,” starring Julianne Moore and Michelle Williams, after a former drama teacher prompted her to audition. Simmonds played Rose, a young Deaf girl trying to discover more about her past.

“I wanted to show other Deaf people that they can do anything, even be in a movie,” Simmonds said when KSL first profiled her in May.

Though Simmonds works with an interpreter on set, she believes the hardest part about being a Deaf actress isn’t her lack of hearing, but the lack of opportunity for those in the Deaf community... Read More on KSL.com.

'Dawn of the Deaf' (2016) - Short Horror Film

WATCH: English Subtitles - 'Dawn of the Deaf' (2016) The Short Film.

When a sonic pulse infects the Hearing population, a small group of Deaf people must band together to survive.

LONDON, U.K. -- “Dawn of the Deaf” is a zombie movie where we see the origins of the zombie apocalypse through four separate narratives, all involving Deaf people: A few cruel-hearted pranksters taunt Deaf people on the streets; a Deaf person gives an inspirational speech at a fundraising event as his wife watches; a lesbian couple try to work out their relationship problems; a teenager is being sexually abused by her stepfather.

Rob Savage’s “Dawn of the Deaf” is kind of maddening in that to describe the film is to give away its central premise, which is revealed at the very end. It’s a film that is all set-up. It feels like the first 10 minutes to a feature that has a brilliant idea for a zombie film that we will hopefully see someday. It’s too good an idea to go to waste. Savage remember when he saw the credits and shouting “Dammit!” when it was over. he say all of this as a high compliment, by the way.

Director Rob Savage Talks 'Dawn of the Deaf'

WATCH: Exclusive interview with director of 'Dawn of the Deaf' Rob Savage, talks the Deaf role in short horror film.

LONDON, UK -- ComingSoon: Director Rob Savage discusses his innovative new apocalyptic short horror film Dawn of the Deaf. Fresh off a triumphant, head-turning premiere at Fantastic Fest, the spectacularly inventive, gorgeously executed Dawn of the Deaf logline.

“When a strange sound wipes out the Hearing population, a small group of Deaf people must band together to survive” threatens to go ultra-viral via upcoming screenings at BFI London Film Festival, London Fright Fest, Sitges Film Festival, Encounters Short Film and Animation Festival, Uppsala International Short Film Festival, Fantasia International Film Festival and several others.

“Our aim was to create a genre film that would connect Deaf and hearing audiences in an engaging, thrilling way,” director Rob Savage tells ComingSoon.net of his apocalyptic horror short made with a cast drawn from the London Deaf community. “Rather than retread the same narratives usually seen when dealing with disability, we wanted to create a tense story in which the characters’ ‘disability’ becomes their ultimate advantage over the hearing population.”

Savage was gracious enough to speak with ComingSoon.net at length about the joys and challenges of leading that charge… Read More The Full Interview.

The Halifax Explosion - The Deaf Experience

WATCH [CC] - Documentary film explores experience of the Deaf community during Halifax Explosion.

HALIFAX, NS -- MetroNews: Film examines why everyone at the Halifax School for the Deaf survived despite damage and weather that followed the disaster. The 1917 Halifax Explosion has been the subject of numerous movies and books.

But the disaster as experienced by the Deaf community has been relatively unknown.

That’s why Linda Campbell and Jim McDermott, who are both Deaf, decided to co-produce a documentary film to highlight that story.

‘Halifax Explosion: The Deaf Experience’ should be ready for viewing in time for the 100-year commemoration of the event on Dec. 6, 2017.

“Nova Scotia actually has a long history of inclusiveness when it comes to the Deaf community and our allies,” explained Linda Campbell.

“Upon learning that the Deaf community's experiences during the Halifax Explosion is so poorly documented despite a wealth of books, movies and published stories about this important event, we felt it was necessary to preserve some of those stories for sharing.”

Campbell and McDermott agreed to an interview, but it had to be conducted via email as they both communicate using American Sign Language.

When collecting information for the film, Campbell said they were surprised to learn everyone in the Halifax School for the Deaf survived the explosion, despite how badly damaged the school was.

“It was so close to the zone of maximum damage that every single window shattered, plaster ceilings collapsed and doors flew off their hinges. Many people got badly cut by the flying glass,” Campbell explained.

“Yet only two boys were hurt badly enough to go to the hospital. Not only that, there was a bad blizzard with freezing temperatures right after the explosion occurred, and many people across Halifax died from exposure. Even so, no one in the (school), student or staff, died from the cold."

She said the film examines why everyone survived despite the damage, the shock, and the weather.

It will also introduce people to Maritimes Sign Language.

“Many people in Nova Scotia do not know we have our own distinctive sign language, Maritimes Sign Language (MSL) which is syntactically and grammatically distinct from American Sign Language (ASL),” Campbell explained.

“Unfortunately, MSL as a language is fading out, although you can still see old MSL signs being used during ASL conversations every day here. Our film will include examples of MSL signs and dialogue as a part of our storytelling process.”

McDermott said the documentary will include a mix of historical photographs, narration, and interviews with older members of the deaf community who attended the Halifax School for the Deaf.

Despite funding from municipal and provincial grants, the project requires additional funding. At press time they were just $100 shy of their initial crowdfunding goal on their IndieGoGo page.

“While we are nearing our stated goal, we do hope to raise at least $5,000 to cover post-production costs,” McDermott said.

The film follows some of the key characters who frequent St John's Deaf Club in north London as they face life's twists and turns and challenges.

The Costis are a big Deaf family. Tina Costi and her football-mad husband Marios are expecting a baby. For generations in Marios's family, boys are always born Deaf and girls are always born hearing. Will this new Costi baby break with tradition?

Like the Costis, Abigail also comes from a big Deaf family. She has just turned 30 and is about to make one of the biggest decisions of her life. She is considering undergoing surgery to have a cochlear implant fitted to help her deteriorating hearing, and also to better connect with her hearing friends. Abigail wants to be part of both worlds. But it's a controversial decision for her family, who proudly trace their Deaf Heritage back eight generations. How will this affect her relationship with both her family and the wider Deaf community?

At the heart of St John's Deaf Club is its football team. The rivalry between Deaf football teams is intense. Marios's brother Memnos is captain of the team. He eats, sleeps and breathes football. Passionate to the point of obsession, can he inspire his team to win the English Deaf Cup for the second time in a row?
