New York — Ben Gazzara, whose powerful dramatic performances brought an intensity to a variety of roles and made him a memorable presence in such iconic productions over the decades as the original "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" on Broadway and the film "The Big Lebowski," has died at age 81.

Longtime family friend Suzanne Mados said Gazzara died Friday in Manhattan. Mados, who owned the Wyndham Hotel, where celebrities such as Peter Falk and Martin Sheen stayed, said he died after being placed in hospice care for cancer. She and her husband helped marry Gazzara and his wife, German-born Elke Krivat, at their hotel.

Gazzara was a proponent of method acting, in which the performer attempts to take on the thoughts and emotions of the character he's playing, and it helped him achieve stardom early in his career with two stirring Broadway performances.

In 1955, he originated the role of Brick Pollitt,...

I’m back! And coming to you from the shiny new AfterElton.com satellite office in Sophia, Wv. Yeah, everyone else thinks it’s weird I’m here, too. Did you miss me? I missed you. Well, some of you. I’ve got a mix of new news and things I think we should have talked about last week, so let’s get to it.

Peter Jackson has decided to release his Hobbit films in December of 2012 and 2013. He’s also decided to title the first The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, and the second The Hobbit: There and Back Again. He’s yet to name the giant vault he must be building to put in all the money that he’s going to make.

While we were all spending time with friends and family in the U.S., honoring those who served and gave their lives, not everything went well.

Whether it’s a musical sting, the wet snap of a bone, a head rolling down stairs, or simple silence the right sound at the right moment can levitate a fright flick into ghastly greatness. Even if a film as a whole isn’t awe-inspiring, brilliant sound design in just one scene of a stinker can turn it into a genre fan favorite for all time...

The following list is compiled in no particular order, so no need for hurt feelings over a film’s allotted number. Now, from classics to crap and dialogue to death rattles, let’s revisit some of the freakiest sounds in horror history! This is just 24-1 (Part 2) of the list.

NEW YORK -- Madonna and Guy Oseary's Maverick Red production genre label and Angel Baby Entertainment are producing Digger, a grave-digging horror film directed by Angel Baby partner John A. Gallagher.

The feature, set for a late-summer production in Connecticut, is the second co-production between the new Maverick Films genre arm and Angel Baby. The first, Slamdance horror screenplay competition winner Slaughter, from writers Nathan Brookes and Bobby Darby, begins production in July.

Digger follows Joshua Bauer, a man forced to dig graves by hand as a youth who seeks revenge through a brutal killing spree. The producers hope to launch Bauer as a new horror icon.

Angel Baby's Gregory Segal and Gallagher will serve as producers with Maverick Films' Oseary, Mark Morgan and Eric Thompson. Cheri Wozniak, who brought the project into the new horror label, will executive produce. The screenplay is written by Stephen Lancellotti.

Gallagher's directing credits include Blue Moon, starring Ben Gazzara, which won a best feature award at the Avignon/New York Film Festival, and The Deli, starring Gretchen Mol and Chris Noth.
