'Deadliest Catch's stars sign new contracts
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — Look out,
Dutch Harbor, the captains are
coming, and "Deadliest Catch"
fans had a lot to do with it.
The behind-the-scenes drama on the docu-series that follows fishing vessels in the Bering Sea during crab season is over. Even though Discovery announced last week that Capts, Sig Hansen and Johnathan and Andy Hillstrand would not return for the seventh season, the network now is saying that all three men will be part of the high-seas series which begins filming in Dutch Harbor next week.
"We're happy we worked everything out with Discovery," Hansen said in a statement. "A deal's a deal. We're heading up to Dutch Harbor to start filming the new season of 'Deadliest Catch' and hopefully it will be the best one yet."
Hansen had threatened to drop out of the hit series after Discovery sued the Hillstrand brothers for $3 million, claiming they didn't perform their contracted duties on a spinoff. The fishermen brothers responded by quitting "Deadliest Catch," and Hansen said he would leave, too.

Low-budget film has high promise
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
CHICAGO — Edward Burns filmed scenes for his upcoming low-budget indie flick "Nice Guy Johnny" at his parents' and sister's houses and borrowed the cars in the film from friends and family. Except for an old convertible that's his. Cast members including Matt Bush, known more for his role in AT&T roll-over minutes commercials than his film work, were asked to apply their own makeup.
Why all the corner cutting?
"The minute someone writes you a check, there's artistic compromise," said Burns, the film's writer and director, sitting somewhat ironically in his oversize Chicago hotel suite last month. "You're not able to cast the people you want to cast. They're offering and sometimes making changes they feel the film needs. That's
frustrating.
"On a low-budget film, there are also compromises. You need to find free locations to film. There are no special effects. Nobody is going to look at your film and say, 'Wow, that's a cool shot.' You have to be OK with telling smaller character stories."
Burns said the film had a threeman crew and was shot in10 days on a $25,000 budget.
That's also how much he said 1995's "The Brothers McMullen" cost him to make (the final budget of nearly $500,000 was the result of additional funding pumped in by Fox Searchlight for revised editing and a new score).
The difference is that he was a production assistant earning $18,000 a year when he made "Brothers."
Darling, remind me to thank the girl that invented those game day dresses.
"Brothers" went on to earn more than $10 million at the domestic box office and launched a career for Burns that included writing, directing and starring in 1996's "She's the One" and roles in "Saving Private Ryan," NBC's "Will & Grace" and HBO's "Entrance."
Rather than the typical theaterfirst route, Burns is taking an unconventional approach and releasing the film Oct. 26 on Netflix, iTunes, PlayStation 3, video on demand and Amazon.com.
"When people hear about the film, we want them to grab their remotes and say, 'OK, got it,' " he said.
