Something Beautiful: The Work of Norman Reedus
Tuesday, December 15th, 2009Written by: KekeLynn
As all of my faithful readers know, I love art. All kinds of art… music, film, poetry, photography, sculpture, paintings, etc… I can appreciate most forms and look to find something special and unique in each artist I come across. I’m always looking for that one thing you can’t define. I see a lot of pieces I like, but rarely do I find an artist that stops me in my tracks, but the work of Norman Reedus did exactly that… READ MORE

Cinema Blend Interview: Boondock Saints II’s – Norman Reedus
Tuesday, September 15th, 2009
After chatting with Sean Patrick Flanery last week it was obvious that there was something special about Boondock Saints. I’m not referring to the fact that the film, which barely got a run in the theaters, managed to grow into a sensational cult classic; rather that the success of the film had a profound effect on the actors that made us love it. Norma Reedus emphasized his gratitude for Troy Duffy casting him as Murphy McManus in the 1999 hit, but it’s moviegoers that should be thankful for it let a talented actor share his craft with the world.
Norman may have held back when it came to divulging juicy Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day plot details and informed me that’s he’s never seen Titanic (gasp), but he’s still got a lot to say about the vast number of projects he’s so passionate about. It’s been ten years since we’ve seen Reedus as Murphy McManus and he’s … READ MORE
Norman Reedus Talks “Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day” And More
Monday, September 14th, 2009
Norman Reedus first exploded onto the silver screen and our collective conscience in “Boondock Saints.” Directed by Troy Duffy, Reedus played opposite of Sean Patrick Flanery as one of the McManus brothers in a unique film that would go on to become one of the biggest cult sensations in movie history. Over a decade later, the duo find themselves stepping back into those shoes, or in this case peacoats, to bring on one of the most highly anticipated sequels of all-time.
Reedus has been a very busy man in the years since the original “Boondock Saints” film. This seemingly fearless artist has taken… READ MORE

Pandorum Movie Trailer – Norman Reedus is Shepard
Thursday, June 18th, 2009Trailer from Pandorum starring, Dennis Quaid, Ben Foster, Antje Traue, Cung Le, Norman Reedus and Cam Gigandet.
4 September 2009
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1188729/
In Pandorum, actors, Dennis Quaid (Vantage Point, The Express) and Ben Foster (3:10 to Yuma, Alpha Dog), join Cam Gigandet (Never Back Down, Twilight), Cung Le (Tekken, Fighting), newcomer Antje Traue and director Christian Alvart (Antibodies) to tell the terrifying story of two crew members stranded on a spacecraft who quickly realize they are not alone. Two astronauts awaken in a hyper-sleep chamber aboard a seemingly abandoned spacecraft. It’s pitch black, they are disoriented, and the only sound is a low rumble and creak from the belly of the spacecraft. They can’t remember anything – who are they, what is their mission? The only way out of the chamber is a dark and narrow airshaft. Corporal Bower (Foster), the younger of the two, crawls inside, while the other, Lt. Payton (Quaid), stays behind for guidance on a radio transmitter. As Bower ventures deeper and deeper into the ship, he begins to uncover a terrifying reality. Slowly the spacecraft’s shocking and deadly secrets come unraveled, and the astronauts realize that the survival of mankind hinges on their actions.
Interview: Norman Reedus: Not a Scene, Just Fun
Wednesday, April 29th, 2009It’s that time of year again… I’m not talking about the flowers being in bloom, or the ability to show off your pedicures (and FYI, it’s still not safe to wear white… one more month). I am speaking of the Tribeca Film Festival. This is actually the first year I have been in The City during the fest since its inception in 2001.
Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal, and Craig Hatkoff founded the Tribeca Film Festival following the attacks on the World Trade Center to spur the economic and cultural revitalization of lower Manhattan through an annual celebration of film, music and culture.
I not only decided to attend a few of the films, I found an opportunity to approach one of my fave actors, Norman Reedus, who will be starring in Deadline, a featured short in the festival directed by Joseph Bakhash and written by Sean McPhillips. With a career spanning over a decade and almost 50 films, I came to discover that this actor with a huge Cult following, is anything but categorical… which made me love to love him even more.
Highly noted for Mimic, Deuces Wild, Beat, The Notorious Bettie Page, Moscow Chill, and his character Murphy McManus in The Boondock Saints, Reedus appeared in a slew of roles that seemed to embrace a side of ourselves most of us don’t like to visit very often. But don’t call him a dark person, it’s gotten very tiresome, and as I quickly learned, he’s pretty chill, comedic, and quite the creative visionary.
SBS: You have quite an expansive filmography, but I have found that it is very character driven, meaning a lot of the roles you play are pretty intense with a lot of inner turmoil on various levels. Sometimes this struggle is resolved in some way and is pertinent to the character and the story, and sometimes they remain dark, agree/disagree?
NR: Yeah I guess I seem to do those dark roles . But I’m not really that dark . At least I try not to be. I’m actually pretty funny and find most people funny or things quite funny. Im so tired of everyone thinking I’m so dark. I just try and pay attention… and I get upset easily and understand being upset and it all comes from a place of unhappiness. But I don’t practice that in my life. I try to be happy. That’s the big fight I think, right?
