Dror Soref, director of the 2009 Paz Vega-Simon Baker film “Not Forgotten,” has been charged with 56 counts of securities fraud for allegedly hatching a Ponzi scheme that bilked investors out of more than $21 million, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office said Thursday. Soref, who also directed the “Weird Al” Yankovic video “I Love Rocky Road,” also faces 15 counts of sale of unregistered securities and one count of device, scheme or artifice to defraud a securities transaction. The filmmaker faces up to 75 years in state prison if convicted. Michelle Seward has also been charged in the case. Also.

Brad Pitt 'Glory Days' costar Nicholas Kallsen Brad Pitt 'Glory Days' costar Nicholas Kallsen dead at 48 Nicholas Kallsen, who was featured opposite Brad Pitt in the short-lived television series Glory Days, has died at age 48 in Thailand according to online reports. Their source is one of Rupert Murdoch's rags, citing a Facebook posting by one of the actor's friends. The cause of death was purportedly – no specific source was provided – a drug overdose.* Aired on Fox in July 1990, Glory Days told the story of four high-school friends whose paths take different directions after graduation. Besides Nicholas Kallsen and Brad Pitt, the show also featured Spike Alexander and Evan Mirand. Glory Days lasted a mere six episodes – two of which directed by former Happy Days actor Anson Williams – before its cancellation. Roommates Nicholas Kallsen and Brad Pitt vying for same 'Thelma & Louise' role? The Murdoch tabloid also...

Filmmakers always sound fascinating during their commentary tracks or “making of” featurettes. They have lofty ambitions for their movies and its always disappointing when the story they talk about proves more interesting than the finish film itself.
Such is the case with the thriller Not Forgotten, out this week on DVD from our pals at Anchor Bay Entertainment. Written by Tomás Romero and Dror Soref and directed by Soref, its atmospheric and has tremendous potential but remains largely uninvolving and winds up far more predictable than it should be.
Starring Simon Baker, the DVD release is playing up his name now that he is a major star thanks to the success of his CBS series The Mentalist. When the film was released very briefly in January, he was just another actor with Paz Vega and Claire Forlani the better recognized names.

Despite minor genre trappings sprinkled throughout both, neither Whiteout (opening nationwide September 11) nor Not Forgotten (beginning a New York City engagement on the 11th ahead of a DVD release November 3) is really a horror film. That hasn’t stopped Warner Bros. from trying to sell Whiteout like one, though what they’re pitching as a literal chiller about a malevolent presence terrorizing an South Pole research station turns out to be a mystery/suspense drama without mystery, suspense or drama.
Kate Beckinsale trades in her Underworld leather garb for a parka to play U.S. Marshal Carrie Stetko, who’s about to wrap up a stint on Antarctica (which the film helpfully reminds us is “the coldest, most isolated land mass on the planet”).

Not Forgotten
Starring Simon Baker, Paz Vega, and Chloe Moretz
Directed by Dror Soref
Rated R
Sometimes you just throw your hands up and hope that the movie fell apart for all the right reasons. By that I mean that the story on screen really isn't the script the cast agreed to, and that the financing fell apart in the middle of production, causing certain sacrifices to be made that otherwise would clear up this whole mess.
But a movie should never have to explain itself afterward. That's why you give it two hours of your time to make its case.
Not Forgotten makes sense at the beginning, but it's a slow and steady decline after that. And this is why you hope that the real screenplay - the only that wasn't filmed for whatever reason - had more on the ball; you'd hate to come to terms with the...

A gruesome little clip from Anchor Bay's upcoming thriller, Not Forgotten popped up on YouTube today that displays one of Simon Baker's little known talents -- he really knows how to make a point with a broken bottle.
The film, directed by Dror Soref, who co-wrote the script with Tomas Romero, and will be distributed in the Us, UK, and Australia by Anchor Bay Films, the new feature film division of Anchor Bay Entertainment.
Not Forgotten tells the story of Jack Bishop (Baker), a man with a secret past that is revealed when his daughter is kidnapped. To find her, he enlists the help of the cult La Santa Muerte and returns to his roots in the squalid, seedy barrios of Mexico. La Santa Muerte is a centuries-old mixture of Catholicism and paganism in which devotees pray to the saint known as The Holy Death for revenge and other acts against their enemies.

Here’s your first look at a new thriller starring Simon Baker (TV’s The Mentalist) and Paz Vega (”10 Items or Less”) called “Not Forgotten”. It looks like a very tight suspense thriller, and somehow the Mexican cartels get involved. That’s never a good thing, in case you were wondering. The film is directed by Dror Soref, most known for his Weird Al Yankovic music videos. I kid you not. Check out a trailer, posters, and images from the movie below. Jack Bishop lives the life of every man’s dream with a beautiful wife and a happy, healthy daughter, Toby. He has the career he always wanted and a loving home in a peaceful Texas border town. But it is no coincidence that Jack’s life seems perfect. His past hides a black secret, one he hides from his family, one he hides from himself. When Toby goes missing,...

NEW YORK -- "The Devil Wears Prada" star Simon Baker has been cast in the lead role of Dror Soref's indie psychological thriller "Not Forgotten".
Baker will play a bank manager in a U.S.-Mexico border town haunted by the disappearance of his daughter. He and his wife approach a Latina soothsayer to find out what happened to the girl, but the old woman's visions threaten to dredge up secrets from their tortured pasts.
Soref wrote the original screenplay with Tomas Romero and will produce the film with Donald Zuckerman. Myriad Pictures CEO Kirk D'Amico, Michelle Seward and Dennis Stuart Murphy will executive produce.
The feature is set to begin principal photography in January in New Mexico. Myriad will rep presales on the project at the upcoming American Film Market in Santa Monica.
Said Zuckerman, "The key points in this film -- the love of a family, Latino culture, spirituality -- are interpreted in a way we rarely ever see in the movies."
Added D'Amico: "I've been wanting for some time to make a film exploring this culture, and I eagerly anticipate (Soref's) interpretation of the material."
Australian actor Baker starred in the title role of the CBS series "The Guardian" for three years.
