Nightmares & Dreamscapes 2-page pull-out, pop-up ad

Posted: July 5, 2006, 13:16

Many of you have mailed me about a 2-page pull-out, pop-up advertisement for Nightmares & Dreamscapes. There has been some questions about what this is (and many have been having problems finding it) so now I'm happy to be able to show you a picture of it.

The pop-up is a house of cards revealing the primary characters in the miniseries. It's basically the same image that can be seen on the official site.

The pop-up ad was in some editions of the latest double issue of EW (Jessica Alba on the cover).

Correction about Nightmares & Dreamscapes

Posted: December 2, 2005, 12:59

First I want to make a correction to yesterday's news. The airdates I had put in yesterday's news for Nightmares & Dreamscapes wasn't 100% sure. The series will start airing on or around June 15, 2006 and a new episode will follow each week for a total of 8 weeks. So the air schedule will be something like the one I gave but we have to wait a while longer before that is confirmed. The first episode, Umney’s Last Case, will be shown completely without commercial breaks, How about that?

Thanks to MG.

Posted by Clint Morris on October 21, 2005

The gorgeous Gibney, best known for her role in the Aussie series’ and telemovies’ “The Flying Doctors”, “Come in Spinner” and “Halifax F.P”, has joined the cast of the eight-part telemovie series “Nightmares and Dreamscapes” co-starring Harold Hopkins, William H.Macy, Sigrid Thornton, Jacqueline McKenzie, Jeremy Sisto, Andy Anderson and Henry Thomas. The series films here in Melbourne until Feb 2006.

Gibney will also be seen in the new film “Lost and Found”, about an Award-winning architect that’s facing a glittering future as long as he can come to terms with his traumatic past. Brett Climo co-stars.

Thanks to Moviehole.
