One of Leslie’s upcoming films, “Law Abiding Citizen”, will be opening the Urbanworld Film Festival.
The 13th Annual Urbanworld Film Festival has announced the opening night selection for the event. Overture Films’ “Law Abiding Citizen” will be aired on the first night of the star-studded film event on September 23.
The dramatic thriller, starring Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx and directed by F. Gary Gary (“The Italian Job”), is set to hit nationwide theaters on October 16. But before that, Urbanworld film fest goers will be able to watch it ahead of the release date.
The film will tell the story of a man who decides to exact revenge on his family’s killers, as well as the criminal justice system. Michael Gambon, Viola Davis, and Leslie Bibb also star.
Urbanworld also announces the 2009 official selections for the narrative feature, documentary feature, short documentary, and short narrative categories. It will screen 68 films for this year’s event.

The 13th Annual Urbanworld Film Festival, presented by BET Networks, will be held on September 23 in Manhattan and will run through September 27.
Psychological thriller “Law Abiding Citizen” has unleashed one explosive trailer. Released via Entertainment Tonight, the sneak peek takes a look at how Gerard Butler’s family man character, Clyde Shelton, turns into a master of murder and destruction after learning about the flawed justice system that failed to bring justice to his family.
A seemingly all-round good guy, Clyde Shelton witnesses his wife and daughter viciously murdered during a home invasion. When the perpetrators are caught and sentenced, a hotshot young Philadelphia prosecutor by the name of Nick Rice gets one a light sentence with a plea bargain. Unsatisfied with the justice system, Clyde takes matter into his own hands by killing the man who gets away with murder.
Though he admits his action and is thrown into jail for it, Clyde warns Nick to fix the flawed justice system or key players in the trial will die. Soon enough, a string of spectacularly diabolical assassinations that can be neither predicted nor prevented grips Philadelphia with fear. With his family in Clyde’s crosshairs, Nick finds himself in a desperate race against time to stop the killing.
“Law Abiding Citizen” is directed by “Be Cool” helmer F. Gary Gray using a script from Kurt Wimmer. Jamie Foxx stars as Nick Rice opposite Gerard Butler. They are supported by a cast that include Michael Gambon, Viola Davis and Leslie Bibb.
This thriller will open wide on the big screen across the U.S. on October 16.
FX is joining “The League,” ordering a semi-scripted comedy pilot from “Curb Your Enthusiasm” executive producer/director Jeff Schaffer.
The project, which Schaffer co-created with his wife, Jackie Marcus Schaffer, centers on a fantasy football league and tackles issues of marriage, friendship, parenting and love in suburbia.
In the words of lead character Pete (Mark Duplass): “God bless fantasy football. There are many things a man can do with his time; this is better than those things.”
Schaffer and Marcus Schaffer, who are both devotees of fantasy football, are executive producing the pilot. Schaffer is directing.
In the “Curb” mold, “League” features improvisational elements.
In addition to Duplass (“Humpday”), the cast includes Stephen Rannazzisi (“Paul Blart: Mall Cop”), Nick Kroll (“I Love You, Man”), Paul Scheer (“Human Giant”), Katie Aselton (“The Puffy Chair”), Jon Lajoie and Alina Foley, the 6-year-old daughter of actor Dave Foley. Leslie Bibb is on board as a guest star.

Welcome back to Leslie Bibb Central! About a week ago, I had my webhost delete this site because I couldn’t find the time to update it properly… After thinking, I have decided to bring this site back, and I will continue to update it when I get the chance to update. I’m going to be re-uploading the website in the coming days, thanks for hanging in there and we’ll back to normal asap!
Cool article & interview from blogs.nypost.com:
Whether she was ruling Jacqueline Kennedy High, getting sliced up by The Carver, asking Tony Stark all the tough questions or channeling her inner bitch, I have always found Leslie Bibb to be compulsively watchable.
That’s why I am so happy to report she’s a million times cooler off screen than she is on it. And discovering first hand — or ear, as it was a phone interview — what a genuinely chilled out lady she is, made her performance as icy Alicia Billington in “Confessions of a Shopaholic” all the more fabulous.
After a brief segue where we talked about the legacy of “Popular,” Leslie spilled the dirt on some deleted “Shopaholic” scenes, what her biggest fashion faux pas was and why she’s looking forward to working on “Iron Man 2” — hint: it rhymes with Schmeneth Smaltrow.
A mild-mannered secretary discovers that she has a talent for murder as she ascends the corporate ladder. In “Miss Nobody”, Leslie Bibb stars as Sarah Jane McKinney whose life seems to be ordinary on the outside layer but much more complicated underneath.
Although labeled as an indie movie, the film has lined-up several familiar faces such as Brandon Routh, Adam Godlberg, Kathy Baker, and Vivica A. Fox. The pic is directed by Tim Cox who previously directed music videos and several TV movies such as “Alien Lockdown” and “Mammoth”. The screenplay meanwhile, uses the talent of newcomer Dough Steinberg who wrote for a number of TV series episodes.
The production had been kicked off in the fourth quarter of 2007 but the movie has not been screened at any festivals nor it has a distributor. The released trailer, however, cited “In Theaters 2008” which probably was not further edited from the initial plan.
