Mike Karz (C'89, W'89) will be producing Sorority Row, a remake of the 1983 horror film The House on Sorority Row.

Per the Hollywood Reporter,

"The plot sees a group of sorority sisters try to cover up the death of their house-sister after a prank gone wrong, only to be stalked and killed by a serial killer."

The film will star Carrie Fisher (still in negotiations), Rumer Willis, Julian Morris, Leah Pipes, Margo Harshman and Briana Evigan.

Liz also appears in this new trailer below for The Uninvited, a horror film which comes out in January 2009. Per shocktillyoutdrop.com, the film's synopsis is as follows:

"Based on Kim Jee-Woon's 2003 Korean chiller, A Tale of Two Sisters, the story revolves around a pair of siblings who return home to their father after spending time in a mental institution. Their recovery is hindered by their cruel stepmother's obsessiveness and an interfering ghost."

Homesickness Sets In...And He's Still Not Really Running

As I've been posting here on DT, Kevin Shapiro (C'12) has been vlogging about his experiences as a freshman at Penn.  I think Kevin's vlogs have been a great way to document how someone new to Penn feels. Something for prospects to check out for sure and something for alumni to relive vicariously!

In Kevin's vlog below, he talks about getting kicked out of a lounge for talking about math and also discusses what activities he's gotten involved in so far.

In this second vlog below, Kevin continues by talking about missing home...something we have all felt at one point or another.

Another Penn Alum Featured On One Amazing Reality Show

So I was on the eliptical yesterday trying to catch up with all the new Fall TV shows that are on my Tivo.  I began to watch The Amazing Race 13 and realized that I went to Penn with one of the contestants!

A half hour after I was done with the elliptical (okay 20 minutes), I checked out cbs.com and after a few google searches realized that Penn alum Sarah Leshner (C'98, W'03) does indeed appear on this season's The Amazing Race 13 with her boyfriend Terence.  They are billed as the "opposites attract" couple.

Check out minute 0:26 of the inro clip above

Mistress Lola Returns to Campus This Friday To Talk Sex

Logan Levkoff (C'98, GSE'99, aka "Mistress Lola" in her undergrad 34th Street days) will be appearing at the Penn Bookstore on Friday Oct. 3rd at 4pm to talk about her book "Third Base Ain't What it Used to Be: What Your Kids are Learning About Sex Today - and How to Teach them to Become Sexually Healthy Adults".  She'll be talking about life after Penn as well as her fight against this administration's (and McCaine's) war on sex.

...Logan not only published this book, but she is on a number of shows chiming in on the current state of sex education. Her work has been featured on countless shows and publications including Good Morning America, Oprah, The Today Show, and The New York Times.

In addition, she writes regular columns for Fit Pregnancy, POZ magazine, and MarieClaire.com.  Check out her clip below from her appearance recently on Good Morning America.
