When Scenes From A Gay Marriage came out, some reviewers compared actor/writer/director Matt Riddlehoover to Woody Allen. It’s something Matt seems to like, as his latest, West Hollywood Motel, borrows liberally from the type of plots Allen used to like, from The Purple Rose Of Cairo to Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex. It even uses a similar title font to the one that has been a trademark of Woody’s for decades. [Read more…]

Over the last few months we’ve been following West Hollywood Motel, the latest movie from Scenes from a Gay Marriage director Matt Riddlehoover. Now we’ve got the first poster and [NSFW] trailer for the entertaining looking film, which you can see above and below.

In the film, various lives intersect in and around a West Hollywood motel in a gay-themed comedy about sex, love, and the meaning of life. The characters include a medical student (Riddlehoover), his extrovert boyfriend (Andrew Callahan), an adulterous actress (Starina Johnson), her lover (Heather Horton), and a dutiful husband (Phil Leirness) whose wife (Amy Kelly) wakes to find she has a penis!

West Hollywood Motel co-stars Jared Allman (Scenes from a Gay Marriage), Cesar D’ La Torre (Logo’s DTLA), Ben Phen (Interior. Leather Bar.), and newcomer Alec Houston Bell.

Director Matt Riddlehoover had great success with Scenes From A Gay Marriage, which remains a best-seller on DVD in the States. Now he’s readying his follow-up comedy, West Hollywood Motel, and we’ve got three new images from the movie for you to enjoy.

It’s described as “intersecting tales about people who have checked into the same motel room”. The film covers a range of people – gay and straight – playing off of the fact that the majority of the West Hollywood’s population is made up of gay or bisexual men, and that it is also one of the only places in the US where it is illegal to discriminate on the basis of gender identity. The ensemble cast includes Andrew Callahan, Amy Kelly, Phil Leirness, Jared Allman, and Luis A. Gudino (all pictured).

The film is slated for release later this year. Until then, enjoy the new pics.

By Leave a Comment

whm-jaredallman-alecbellThe exceedingly busy actor/director Matt Riddlehoover (Scenes From A Gay Marriage) has recently been shooting a new movie, as we reported a few weeks ago. Now the previously untitled film from Bring Chase Productions has a name – West Hollywood Motel.

The romantic comedy, which was produced by Shane Bartlett and Ryan Basham, will follow several intersecting tales about people who have checked into the same motel room.

The ensemble cast includes Riddlehoover, his Scenes from a Gay Marriage co-star Jared Allman, and newcomer Alec Bell (pictured), as well as Andrew Callahan, Cesar D’ La Torre, Luis A. Gudino, Amy Kelly, Phil Leirness, Luis Lucas, Ben Phen, and Anna Sondall.

Currently in post-production, the film is slated for release later this year. In the meantime, you can keep up with West Hollywood Motel over at its official Facebook page.

As well as Scenes From A Gay Marriage, which was released on DVD in the US late last year, Riddlehoover has already shot Return To Babylon, while another as-yet-untitled movie is in development. So we can expect to hear a lot more from him.
