Skull and Bones Entertainment to interview Danny Trejo

Skull and Bones Entertainment to interview Danny Trejo in July


Dan "Danny" Trejo is an American actor who has appeared in numerous Hollywood films, most notably in "tough guy" roles as a villain or an anti-hero.


Dan Trejo was born in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, rejo is the son of Alice Rivera and Dan Trejo, a construction worker. He is a second cousin of filmmaker Robert Rodriguez, though the two were unaware that they were related until the filming of Desperado.


While speaking at a recovery meeting in Los Angeles, Trejo met a young man in the movie business. His newfound friend invited him to the set of Runaway Train where Trejo was offered a job as an extra in the film's prison scenes. Edward Bunker, himself a former convict and well-respected crime author who was writing the screenplay for the film, recognized Trejo, with whom he had done time at San Quentin. It was widely misreported that Trejo was actually serving time in the prison where filming took place. Bunker remembered Trejo's boxing skills, and offered him $320 per day to train Eric Roberts, one of the movie's stars, for a boxing scene. Director Andrei Konchalovsky liked Trejo's work and decided to offer him a prominent role in the film.




Since then, Trejo has become a prolific actor in both films and television, acting alongside some of Hollywood's most famous actors, including Jean-Claude Van Damme, Johnny Depp, Al Pacino, Nicolas Cage, Charles Bronson, George Clooney, John Malkovich, Robert De Niro, Harrison Ford, Val Kilmer, and Antonio Banderas. Trejo has often appeared in five or more movies per year in various genres. Major releases in which he has acted include Machete, Blood in Blood Out, Animal Factory, Bubble Boy, Anaconda, Marked for Death, xXx, Desperado, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Heat, From Dusk till Dawn, Con Air, Six Days Seven Nights, Spy Kids, The Replacement Killers, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, Predators, Urban Justice, The Devil's Rejects, Valley of Angels, Delta Farce, Grindhouse, Rob Zombie's Halloween and Snoop Dogg's Hood of Horror.

Skull and Bones Entertainment to interview Marilyn Burns

Skull and Bones Entertainment to interview Marilyn Burns in July






Marilyn Burns was born in Erie, Pennsylvania on July 5, 1950, and was one of the original 'Scream Queens', remembered primarily for her role in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974). Her follow-up appearance was in Hooper's Eaten Alive (1976), where she played a vacationer who unwittingly stumbles upon a hotel run by a madman who feeds his guests to his pet alligator.


 

Marilyn earned her 'Scream Queen' status by starring in other horror movies; Kiss Daddy Goodbye (1981), Future-Kill (1985). In 1976 she appeared in the TV-movie Helter Skelter (1976) (TV), and her role as Linda Kasabian, the Charles Manson follower whose testimony helped lead to the convictions of the cult leader and many of his followers, was worthy of viewing.





In 1994 Marilyn had an uncredited cameo role as a patient on a gurney in Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (1994).

Skull and Bones Invades May-Hem

Skull and Bones Entertainment was able to make a last minute trip down to Spooky Empire’s May-Hem in Orlando last weekend, thanks to our good friend Melissa Benjamin, Food and Beverage Director at Wyndham Worldwide. I (Ashley) was eager to see John Astin, Oliver Robbins, and Joey Lauren Adams just to name a few, Mark was looking forward to meeting Linda Hamilton, and Vivica Fox, and we both were very excited to finally get to meet Caroline Williams. We were also looking forward to attending May-Hem as we were not able to make it last year, and it would be our first time. We knew to expect a smaller show than in October, but other than that we weren’t sure what we’d encounter.

Days of the Dead Atlanta Review

Skull and Bones Entertainment invades Days of the Dead Atlanta!


We arrived to Days of the Dead Atlanta Thursday evening and immediately went to the pre-party at Jekyll and Hyde’s. While there, we watched Goddamn Zombie as well as First Jason. There were quite a few other convention attendees, and everyone was able to drink, eat, mingle and have a great time before the REAL fun started on Friday.





Friday morning we woke up and walked around the hotel lobby, where it wasn’t unusual to see a celebrity grabbing a cup of coffee or checking in. Conventions are great for fans because it’s probably the only opportunity you get to casually occupy the same space as the people you admire from the movies you love. Once the doors opened we immediately went to the celebrity signing areas to do a walk through and talk to those celebs we’ve become acquainted with and meet those who we hadn’t before. We also wandered through the vendor room, immediately seeing things that made us say “I want that!” There was no shortage of awesome stuff in the vendor room that’s for sure!

Skull and Bones Entertainment is proud to announce.....

Will Keenan

as our newest client!



Keenan was born in Philadelphia. Keenan attended New York University while majoring in theater and studying psychology, philosophy and dance. He started his career in underground and cult movies, performing lead roles in Tromeo and Juliet and the first fully digital feature film, Love God (Good Machine now Focus Features). Some of his starring and producing credits include Politics of Love, The Ghastly Love of Johnny X, Chop, Terror Firmer, Margarita Happy Hour, The Love Machine, Hoofboy, OMC, Hisss and Trick.






In 1998 Keenan produced and programmed a 10-day arts exchange between New York City and Philadelphia named PhillyHoverground at locations throughout Philadelphia including International House and the Shubert Theater. The festival program consisted of art, theatre, dance and film screenings including the city's first public theatrical screenings of Trey Parker and Matt Stone's "Cannibal The Musical" and Harmony Korine's "Gummo".


  
Keenan was an invited participant in the 2000 Sundance Institute Film Labs and won a Best Actor award at the Brooklyn International Film Festival in 2002. Keenan worked under the company name Hoverground in New York City, and, until 2011, under the company name Nuclear Mango in Los Angeles. Keenan was invited to give a featured keynote appearance in Las Vegas for the inaugural Netroots Nation blogger convention in 2005, produced a viral video campaign for the convention and spearheaded the launch of the Netroots Nation screening series program the following year.





OMC, co-directed by Keenan, has garnered positive reviews for Keenan's acting and stunt-work, and some film web sites have called him a contemporary Buster Keaton. Keenan's trademark stunt is getting hit by a car. During a 2004 Video Software Dealer's Convention in Las Vegas at which actor/comedian Jerry Lewis was the keynote speaker, Keenan played a prank on Lewis involving the latter's book ("Dean and Me: A Love Story") which was reported in Page Six of the New York Post.


Will as Tromeo in Tromeo and Juliet

Keenan was a consulting co-producer for the Indian-American production "Hisss" (2010) and a consultant during the development of the big-budget Indian production "Ra.One" (2011). Keenan produced three songs and two videos for the "Hisss" soundtrack in an east-west collaboration, bringing together artist Dave Kushner of American super-group Velvet Revolver with Indian actress/singer/lyricist Shruti Haasan, Julian Lennon with Mallika Sherawat and Panjabi MC with Filmfare Award-winning Indian singer/performer Shweta Pandit. Official Bollywood Soundtrack Charts charted "I Got That Poison" Performed by Panjabi MC and Shweta Pandit in the Top Ten from Oct 24 through Nov, 5 2010. In 2009 Keenan created the Indo-American production company and consultancy partnership Nuclear Mango and sold his stake in the company in 2011.


In 2011, Keenan was recruited for an executive position at digital network Maker Studios, named by The Huffington Post as one of 2011's "Hot Companies To Watch" and co-starred in the German-Indian co-production "Indisch Fur Anfanger (Mission India)" with German celebrities Henning Baum and Wolke Hegenbarth. In March 2011, Keenan engineered and brokered a feature recording artist and music video deal between YMCMB for hip-hop/rap star Lil Wayne and Indian composer/singer/actor/musician Himesh Reshammiya.
