We’ve been shockingly remiss in our Adam duties lately and we’re gonna try to post more this weekend, but we did want to give Gotham-area Adam fans a heads up on more screenings of Tennessee, this time at the Urbanworld Festival. There’s an 8 PM screening on Friday, September 2nd 12th.

Thanks to commenter Jeane for the tip.

UPDATE: Thanks to commenter a concerned reader for the date correction.

Sorry for the late notice, gang, but the Apple just found out about a special underground screening of Horsefingers 3: Starfucker that will be held tomorrow night in Brooklyn.

What, pray tell, is Horsefingers 3: Starfucker?

Well, it’s a funny short film starring our own Adam Rothenberg and adorable Maria Thayer (who was great in Strangers with Candy).

You’re being offered a chance at a sneak peek.

The director, Kirsten Kearse, will be in attendance, and the night will include food and music at a reasonable price. Adam won’t be able to make it, unfortunately, but it’s rumored he’ll be observing the festivities from a secure location via closed circuit.

Here are the details:

According to the Heroes of Mariah fansite, Tennessee‘s sales rep, Elephant Eye Films, has put the word out that the film will get a theatrical release in the US and Europe with a DVD release to follow. Further details to follow.

Thanks to commenter Andrew for the tip.

Adam and his proud mom Gillian took in the premiere of his latest cinematic offering last night, an event which brought out Tribeca Film Festival founder Robert DeNiro, Ben Kingsley, Edie Falco and, of course, the Tennessee family. Watermarked images from the red carpet and after-party can be found at Getty Images (here and here) and WireImage. The Mariah Carey super-fansite Mariah Daily Journal, has a batch of Mariah-centric non-watermarked images, a few of which sport our favorite leading man (here, here and here).

In other news, Tennessee‘s website has been spruced up and revamped and Adam can be spotted briefly in this clip from Access Hollywood.

On the business side, a stroll by Elephant Eye Films has revealed that Tennessee‘s gonna be taking its act to the Cannes Film Festival for a market premiere on May 16th. The official website has Elephant Eye listed as the international sales agent for the film, with Submarine holding down domestic sales duties.

Thanks to commenter Jeane for the heads up.

With Tennessee debuting at the Tribeca Film Festival in a few short days, the Apple just wants to update everybody on the latest news. A couple of clips featuring Adam’s co-stars, Ethan Peck and Mariah Carey, have appeared on the web and the film’s Tribeca page has been fleshed out a tad. There’s been a glut of Mariah-related news and a lot of Tribeca news and a fair amount of Tennessee buzz, but it’s pretty quiet out there for Adam Rothenberg updates. We’re keeping an eye out for more news when the preview embargo lifts after Saturday.

Tickets are still available for four of the shows, but the May 3rd screening is rush-only. (Note that Tennessee‘s page says the premiere is rush-only, but it looks as though additional seats have been released, as the ticket site itself has availability.)

Thanks to commenter alan for the heads up on the photo and, as always, please feel free to use the comment page as an open thread for any Adam news.

Tennessee‘s page is up and running over at the Tribeca Film Festival, complete with showtimes, which have been added to Upcoming Events in the sidebar.

While we’re at it, “Submission,” Adam’s Law & Order episode, is available for download at Amazon Unbox.

Thanks to Apple regular Jeane for the photo and the heads up on the Tribeca listing.

Update (March 31, 2008):
The April 26th showtime has been changed, from 6 PM to 4 PM.

Update (April 3, 2008):
The April 26th showtime has been changed, again, from 4 PM to 6 PM. Sigh.

Update (April 7, 2008):
Just a quick note to our readers that there are some nice tips in the comments section with regard to buzz that’s starting around the film and some behind-the-scenes footage that’s leaked out. Due to time constraints on our end, we may not be able to post on everything (we can’t compete with Mariah’s legion of fans), but we do appreciate our readers passing on whatever choice tidbits they can find. Thanks to Jeane and Jay for their fine sleuthing.

Comments closed for this post (February 22, 2009).

Thanks go to commenter Alan for the heads up on these photos at the Heroes of Mariah Tennessee page and thanks to Mariah Daily Journal for posting the bottom on set shot in the first place.

This afternoon, the Tribeca Film Festival formerly announced that Tennessee will be appearing as part of the Discovery slate of films. Hollywood Reporter noted that, while “Some established stars also can be found … arguably, more eyes will eagerly await the world premiere of Aaron Woodley’s ‘Tennessee,’ featuring [Mariah] Carey (‘Glitter’) as Krystal, a free spirit who joins two brothers on a search to find their father.”

We’ve compiled some ticket info for everybody after the jump and we’ll get more specific scheduling info posted as soon as possible.

Update (March 14, 2008):
Commenter Jeane brought us the news that indieWIRE had posted a full run-down of the films from the Discovery slate, which includes thirty films, with eighteen World, one International and eleven North American Premieres from up-and-coming directors. In a statement, Peter Scarlet, Artistic Director of the Tribeca Film Festival, said, “With so many new voices and talent in filmmaking today, it is always a thrill to be able to find exciting new artists and introduce them to our audience in our Discovery section.”

Tennessee is described as an “intimate road movie,” in which “two brothers travel to the hometown they fled as teenagers to find their estranged father. When they are joined by a spirited woman (Mariah Carey) running from her abusive husband, they begin to grow closer, and the truth of their journey comes to light.”

Regular Apple commenter Jeane left a couple interesting comments about Tennessee this evening, so we’re bumping them up into a post of their own to share them with everyone. She’s been in contact with the film’s director, Aaron Woodley, who confirmed that it will be premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival this spring and teased that there will be more information on the project in the weeks to come.

Jeane also noted that Mariah’s recent appearance on Extra included the following comments about Tennessee:

That was intense. It was tough. It was like a discipline, to not be me, walk like me, do anything like … ’cause you don’t want to take people out of the movie and so this is the route that I’ve always wanted to take. It’s like doing independent films with people that I really respect.

Finally, the Heroes of Mariah website, in addition to a nice page rounding up info and various comments to the media by cast and crew, has a link to the script reader’s breakdown and analysis from March of 2006. I only glanced at it, but it looks legit and it certainly appears to be a detailed breakdown of the plot, so if our readers don’t want to be spoiled by either reading a full synopsis or the reader’s opinion about the strengths and weaknesses of the original screenplay, best not click through. Keep in mind, though, that it is an analysis of the original screenplay as of March 2006; since the film didn’t go into production until almost a year later, it is certainly possible that there were alterations in the interim.

Thanks again to Jeane for all the great dish.

Adam’s Lipstick Jungle debut as “a kindergarten teacher with an empathetic smile and gorgeous eyes” now has an airdate and a synopsis. “Carpe Threesome,” Chapter Seven of the series, is set to air on Thursday, March 20th, at 10 PM ET on NBC, a week and a day after his scheduled Law & Order appearance. He’s not mentioned in the synopsis that we pulled from TV Central’s Lipstick Jungle forum, but the other new characters mentioned can be found in the same casting notice as Adam’s, so it’s probably the right episode.

20 Mar 07 Chapter Seven: Carpe Threesome
Wendy (Brooke Shields) is dealing with a very difficult scriptwriter, Lorraine Lippman (Marsha Mason), who cannot seem to put an ending to her movie. Wendy makes a bold move and tells production to move forward, leaving it up to her to get the final script from Lorraine in time. Nico (Kim Raver), still very caught up in her dual life with Kirby, faces a harsh reality when she receives news that Charles (Chris Cousins) has had a heart attack. The scare makes her realize how much she misses her marriage and brings her life back into perspective. What will this mean for Kirby? Elsewhere, Victory (Lindsay Price) is getting used to the idea of Joe Bennett (Andrew McCarthy) as her boss instead of her boyfriend. Hockey superstar, Chris “Parks” Parker (Bobby Cannavale) and his wife grow very fond of Victory. The relationship heats up, which puts Victory in a very compromising position.

For the Tennessee completist, we’ll just pass on the tip that Mariah’s been chatting a bit about her recent film projects during the promotional swing for the musical part of her career, as in this Access Hollywood clip in which she discusses how her previous cinematic missteps have informed her current choices.
