People You May Know Trailer – Things get complicated for Sean Maher & Mark Cirillo in the gay-themed film

August 13, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

people-you-may-knowHuman relationships can be a bit messy and not go in the direction you might expect. That certainly seems true in the film People You May Know, where a quartet’s romantic entanglements result in unexpected consequences. The great cast includes Sean Maher and Mark Cirillo.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Joe, Delia, Rodrigo, and Herbert are very close friends in their mid 30’s. Delia and Rodrigo are married, while Joe is Delia’s ex-boyfriend who turned out to be gay. After a night of drinking, Joe and Delia sleep together and she gets pregnant. Meanwhile, Joe is in a secret online relationship with Tom. They have not met in person yet… and they never will.’

People You May Know will be available on DVD & VOD in the US on September 27th. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Firefly’s Sean Maher Has Married His Long-term Partner, Paul

April 6, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

sean-maherSean Maher has been setting people’s hearts aflutter ever since his debut as the title character in Ryan Caulfield: Year One, before gaining many more fans as Dr. Simon Tam in Joss Whedon’s Firefly. Since then he’s popped up in the likes of The Playboy Club, Arrow, Eastsiders and Looking.

He is also, of course, gay, having come out publicly a few years ago when he let the world know he didn’t just have a long-term partner, but they also have a couple of kids. And now it seems they’ve gone the whole hog and gotten married.

Maher revealed the news on Twitter, saying, ‘I sit here and Tweet. Check my profile. Still pretty much the same. Oh… but I change ‘Partner’ to ‘Husband’. Cus that happened.’

The couple have been together for over 10 years, and it’s great they can now cement that relationship with marriage. Congratulations to both of them.

Hopefully we’ll get to see some pics soon. (And thanks to NewNowNext for the tip) [Read more…]

Much Ado About Nothing (2013) (DVD)

October 6, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Alexis Denisof, Amy Acker, Fran Kranz, Sean Maher, Nathan Fillion
Director: Joss Whedon
Running Time: 112 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: October 7th 2013

If you were in post-production on a movie that wasn’t just the biggest film of your career but one of the most ambitious franchise tie-ups ever attempted, you’d think you’d just concentrate on that. However while Joss Whedon was completing The Avengers, he also managed to find time to shoot a low-budget, black and white version of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, set in modern-day California. The man sure likes to work. [Read more…]

Firefly’s Sean Maher & Actress Traci Lords Join Eastsiders LGBT Web Series

A couple of weeks ago we reported that the US LGBT-focussed TV network, Logo, had picked up the web series Eastsiders, premièring the first three of the nine episodes of the first season on Tuesday, April 23rd at 4pm ET on LogoTV.com. The first episode actually showed up on Youtube before Christmas (it’s since been removed), which led to a successful Kickstarter campaign and the Logo pick-up.

Now a couple of new guest stars have been announced. Gay Icon Traci Lords (Zack and Miri Make a Porno) will pop up in Episode 4 as Cal’s outspoken mother Val, while sexy out gay actor Sean Maher (Firefly, The Playboy Club) has a recurring role as Paul, a handsome gallery owner.

The series follows Cal (Kit Williamson), who finds out Thom (soap star Van Hansis) has been cheating on him with Jeremy (Matthew McKelligon), which turns their relationship upside down. Cal’s best friend Kathy (Constance Wu) is always there for him with a bottle of whiskey in her purse, but she has her own problems with her nice guy boyfriend Ian (John Halbach), even if they’re all in her head. Will the lies tear them apart or are they just stubborn enough to stay together forever?  Drunken outbursts and double standards abound in this dark comedy about the sad and funny messes we make out of our lives.

Other guest stars include Brea Grant (Heroes, Dexter), Stephen Guarino (Logo’s The Big Gay Sketch Show) and David Blue (Stargate Universe, Ugly Betty). As well as playing Cal, Kit Williamson also writes and directs Eastsiders.

BGPS’s Advent Calendar Of Buff Blokes: Day 8 – Sean Maher

December 8, 2011 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Like Zachary Quinto a few days ago, today’s advent calendar entry is a new member of the gayborhood, as he only came out publicly a couple of months ago. Sean Maher is perhaps most famous for playing Simon Tam in Joss Whedon’s short-lived sci-fi series, Firefly, reprising the role in the movie Serenity.

Since then he’s made numerous guest appearance on TV shows such as the such as The Mentalist, Ghost Whisperer and Drop Dead Diva. It looked like he’d got a new regular TV job this autumn in The Playboy Club, playing a closeted gay man, but sadly that show got cancelled after only a few episodes. He’ll next be seen reteaming with director Joss Whedon for a new film version of Much Ado About Nothing.

Sean lives with his partner Paul and their two adopted children (and with kids involved, it’s almost impressive nobody right-wing nutter outed him before). Click below to enlarge some pics of the delectable Sean, including a few of him topless, just to make us extra jealous of his boyfriend. [Read more…]

Joss Whedon Reveals Much Ado About Nothing

October 25, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment

You’d think that with The Avengers on his plate Joss Whedon would have enough to do to fill his time. However, he’s apparently not content with just the superheroes, as he’s also found time to shoot a new version of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, filled with actors he’s worked with on his TV shows and films.

Hints about the movie were first tweeted over the weekend by the likes of Firefly actors Nathan Fillion and Sean Maher, along with links to a website – muchadomovie.com. However at the time nobody was certain exactly what it was, with some speculating it was a web series (like Whedon’s Dr. Horrible), other saying it was some sort of joke and still more betting it was a real movie, even though they weren’t sure how Whedon would have had time to make it, or if he did, how he kept a secret.

However, now Bellwether Pictures – a micro-studio Whedon has set up to produce ‘small, independent narratives for all media, embracing a DIY ethos and newer technologies’ – has revealed more info. Apparently the new take on Shakespeare’s classic was filmed in just 12 days on location in Santa Monica. the film features a stellar cast of beloved (or soon to be beloved) actors – some of them veterans of Shakespearean theater, some completely new to the form. But all dedicated to the idea that this story bears retelling, that this dialogue is as fresh and intoxicating as any being written, and that the joy of working on a passion project surrounded by dear friends, admired colleagues and an atmosphere of unabashed rapture far outweighs their hilariously miniature paychecks.

Shot in glorious black and white by Jay Hunter (Paper Heart, Dollhouse), the film stars Amy Acker (The Cabin in the Woods, Alias) and Alexis Denisof (How I Met Your Mother, Angel) as Beatrice and Benedick, the world’s least likely lovers headed for their inevitable tumble into love. As Joss Whedon puts it: “The text is to me a deconstruction of the idea of love, which is ironic, since the entire production is a love letter – to the text, to the cast, even to the house it’s shot in.” The supporting cast includes Nathan Fillion (Castle, Waitress) as Dogberry, Clark Gregg (The Avengers, Iron Man) as Leonato, Fran Kranz (The Cabin in the Woods, Dollhouse) as Claudio and Reed Diamond (Franklin & Bash, Moneyball) as Don Pedro. The film should be completed by early spring and headed for the festival circuit.

It’ll be interesting to see what Whedon’s managed to come up with.
