Marcus Foster News

October Raffle

(http://tinyurl.com/m3tb3r5 )

While he is equally adept atsinging and playing guitar,

perhaps his greatest asset ishis authenticity.

We could not agree morewith that assessment asanyone who has ever beento one of his shows canattest to how real he is.

The other notable articlecame from an interview thatBobby did with theSongwriters Marketplace

(http://tinyurl.com/mgokhmb

His lyrics are deep and full

of imagery combined with anamazingly listenable voice

and musical mastery.

So very true. Bobby alwaystells such amazing tales inhis music.

In addition, Bobby will beperforming along with twelvother artists at a benefit for

Autism research. Please seethe story on page one formore information about this

fantastic event.

He not only played his ownmusic but also played withpopular Korean artistsPeterpan Complex and KlakTik on a Bob Dylan cover, IShall Be Released, whichyou can listen to here:http://tinyurl.com/kouu4tr

Afterwards in typical Marcusfashion he visited with hisfans and signed autographs.Based on the many pictureshe posted on his Instagramit seemed as if he had awonderful time out there.

Boy, we cant wait to seesomething like this in theUnited States.

Robert Pattinson News

Unfortunately Toms filmEFFIE GRAY has onceagain been delayed fromits October release.

This has nothing to do withthe film or the quality ofthe performances butsimply an issues related tocopyright.

Emma Thompson penned

the story of the infamousMs. Gray and has beentaken to court related to it.Ms. Thompson has woneach of these decisionsbut this has delayed therelease of her film. It isnow estimated that the filmwill be available forrelease in May of 2014.

and Morocco. It is unclearat this point whether Robwill need to be on set theentire time as he seems tohave a smaller part in thisfilm. He may only beneeded for a week or so.

Production Weekly hasalso reported a start ofproduction for LIFE inDecember (a change fromtheir previous listing ofFebruary) but at this pointwe have not received anyother information on actualstart dates. Rob has a leadrole in this film and basedon the script would be inmost of the scenes. Itwould make sense that itwould begin after Rob hasfinished his part in QotD.

MISSION BLACKLIST hasalso recently been updated.
