A couple of weeks ago it was reported that Abigail Spencer (Mad Men) would be taking the lead in the Joss Whedon-scribed indie In Your Eyes, which Brin Hill will direct.

But now comes word that the sci-fi romance In Your Eyes has a more than capable replacement ready to step in — Michael Stahl-David (Cloverfield) and Zoe Kazan (Meek’s Cutoff) have landed the lead roles.

The story is based on ‘two seemingly polar opposites who are deeply connected in ways neither could have ever imagined.’

Stahl-David stars as

“Dylan, a boyish-looking man who served time in jail for robbery when he refused to rat on his accomplices. Now, he is living in a trailer in New Mexico.”

Kazan stars as

Rebecca, an attractive but skinny and slightly awkward woman, who is married to an older doctor and living in Connecticut. The two have a powerful connection, and they can hear and see each other, even though they have never met.

Shooting is set to start in Los Angeles and Boston next week.

Michael Stahl-David, Sara Paxton, Zach Cregger and Addison Timlin have joined the cast of The Bounceback. Directed by Bryan Poyser, the indie romantic comedy chronicles two former couples that end up in Austin, Texas on the same emotionally fraught weekend. Trace Sheehan and Megan Gilbride are producing the project, which is set to start filming this month. Executive producers are Ross Dinerstein and Kevin Iwashina of Preferred Content. Stahl-David, who starred in 2008’s Cloverfield, is with ICM and Management 360.

Michael was in two episodes of Person of Interest recently; I will add screencaptures of those episodes as soon as possible!

you may or may not remember me but I was the owner of Michael Stahl-David Source and unfortunately no one updated the site after I dropped out. I am back, because time allows it again and because I am very excited for Michael’s new projects!

Since the site hasn’t been updated for over a year there is a lot to catch up on but I’ll do my very best to get it caught up quickly!

And I have added captures from the latest videos that have been posted a few days back.

Summary: Steven finds his footing as father to his 9-year-old son; Dawn opens up about her family; Rolly, in Afghanistan, misses the big moments in Dawn’s pregnancy.

And below the cut is a video of Anne Son documenting her move from Los Angeles to Austin since the cast was given cameras to do exactly that. Michael makes an appearance during… why, bowling, of course!

ABC placed second, with the series premiere of “My Generation” (5.2 million, 1.6) tying The CW at 8 p.m. for last place in the hour. “My Gen” was down 60% from the debut of “FlashForward” in the time period.

You may have seen the film crews around Austin. They are part of a new show on ABC called “My Generation,” debuting this Thursday on KVUE.

At first sight it appears to be a documentary. The show has the look and feel of reality TV, yet the characters are actors and the plot is scripted.

The story centers on the lives of nine high school graduates from the class of 2000, and how major events like 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina shaped them. Each character resembles a high school archetype, from the overachiever to the beauty queen.

It all takes place in Austin. “We don’t hide the city at all,” said actor Michael Stahl-David. “We say it is Austin, and we use emblematic places of the city.”

“These characters go to places that are so familiar,” said actor Julian Morris. “Whether it’s Amy’s Ice Cream, East Side Showroom, or Barton Springs.”

One of the show’s stars, Mehcad Brooks, even grew up here. After appearances on “Desperate Housewives” and “True Blood,” Brooks says he is glad to working at home.

“I’m blessed and I’m really lucky,” Brooks told KVUE. “I get to go home and have home-cooked meals with my grandmother and my mom.”

Producers are taping 13 episodes. Bob Hudgins with the Texas Film Commission estimates it will pump about $25 million into the economy. To compare, he says, a big box office film pumps in around $35 million.

For Phil Schriber, the owner of a company that provides transportation and trailers for the cast and crew, the show has already been a hit.

“We just bought 10 new trailers last month,” Schriber said. “So we are really psyched up and hoping it just keeps rolling.”

Filming for “My Generation” is scheduled to continue into December.
