Exclusive: Broadway casting director Duncan Stewart, whose big-name clients include the Tony-winning Hadestown, the new Life of Pi and the acclaimed The Great Comet of 1812, is dissolving his Stewart/Whitley agency after 14 years to head up the new casting arm of global live event company Rws Entertainment Group.

What if you never had to sleep again? Would you be more productive than you could ever imagine, or would you lose your mind? Five graduate students set out to stay awake for 200 hours in Sleep No More, but they might be driven insane by psychological horrors both imagined and real in the process. With Sleep No More coming to DVD, VOD, and digital platforms on October 2nd from Rlje Films, we caught up with director Phillip Guzman (Dead Awake) to discuss telling a horror story set in the ’80s, working with a talented ensemble of actors, and his fascination with sleep-centric stories.

If on one night every year, you could commit any crime without facing consequences, what would you do? In The Purge, a speculative thriller that follows one family over the course of a single night, four people will be tested to see how far they will go to protect themselves when the vicious outside world breaks into their home.

The police can’t be called. Hospitals suspend help. It’s one night when the citizenry regulates itself without thought of punishment. On this night plagued by violence and an epidemic of crime, one family wrestles with the decision of who they will become when a stranger comes knocking.
When an intruder breaks into James Sandin’s (Ethan Hawke) gated community during the yearly lockdown,...
