Sam Witwer has the lead role in the comedy-drama, The Return of Joe Rich, which is set to be released next year. In the film, written and directed by Sam Auster, Sam plays Joe Niederman. The synopsis is below.

Joe believed in right and wrong until… His job outsourced to India. His teaser rate spiked. His wife bailed. But Joe has a plan…to get it all back, and more. Joe returns home, to the last place on planet Earth where real men can be found…Chicago. Joe’s Uncle Dominic is “connected”. Joe wants in…to The Mob, or “The Outfit”, as it is called in Chicago. And he’ll do anything to make it happen. Can a wanna-be wise guy live a long and happy life ? A way cool element of The Return of Joe Rich is amazing HD documentary footage of 10 real-life “Chicago Guys” ages 73 to 89. These “guys” found themselves in the same predicament, in real life, in the 1930’s, 40’s, and 50’s, that Joe does today. They form a “Greek Chorus” which inter-cuts with the present day narrative of The Return of Joe Rich.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed has proven to be a successful Star Wars game for LucasArts and has warranted a sequel. Today LucasArts has announced Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II. Prepare for another third-person action adventure set in the Star Wars universe.

Here are the first details on Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II from LucasArts:
“With Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, the epic story continues as players once again assume the role of the devastatingly powerful Starkiller – Darth Vader’s secret apprentice set during the largely unexplored era between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope.

“Executive Producer Haden Blackman and his team have been able to build on the core foundation of the award-winning original and create a powerful combination of engrossing story-telling and intense action. The Force Unleashed II gives fans an opportunity to wreak havoc on an even greater scale in the Star Wars universe,” said LucasArts’ President Darrell Rodriguez.”

The cast was lovely. Cully, Nathalie and Adrienne were a hell of a lot of fun. Jimmy (Smits) was wonderful.

Ya know, on a side note. Nathalie and Adrienne are not, shall we say, unattractive. And the boys at Lucasarts would get a bit tongue tied when they were around them. That’s fine. They’re beautiful. I get it.

You know what isn’t fine? Throwing Sam under a bus.

So we’d be doing a read-through or discussing an upcoming scene at lunch. Nathalie or Adrienne are casual fans of Star Wars, but certainly not experts, so they’d ask some Star Wars question like, “What is Order 66?”

Suddenly every male head at the table would turn to me.. all scratching their heads… “yeah… hmm.. what IS order 66? Sam, do YOU know?”

They’d all pretend they DIDN’T KNOW! We’re here at LUCASARTS! These guys have worked on Star Wars for YEARS! But when the PRETTY GIRLS ask a rudimentary Star Wars question, everyone would feign ignorance and then leave it to ME to “GEEK OUT” in front of the pretty girls.

It was truly pathetic, man. Surrounded by my fellow geeks, and yet none of them were brave enough to talk Star Wars with these lovely ladies when they needed to be told for professional reasons. … So it was left to me to look like a total geek.

What’s worse? They do that to this DAY! … Problem is, now I embarrass them by calling them on it in front of the pretty girls. So I have some fun with that. Hysterical.

"Shakespeare is awesome. Art is awesome. ...but what I really got into the business for was to have an action figure with a FRIGGIN LIGHTSABER!!!! OK?!"

(on being part of Juliard) "Everyone else is in a turtle neck, trying to become the wall or something like that, doing all kinds of weird stretching breathing exercises, whereas I'm just a guy in ripped jeans and a t-shirt who shows up and goes - Hey what's going on?"

"By the time I'd got into high school, I'd decided I was going to be a rock star-- I was going be realistic and choose something that was going to have a good chance at succeeding."

(He played Xindi-Sloth in an episode of Star Trek: Enterprise.) "I'm affectionately referred to, by my other friends that work on Star Trek, as Sam the Sloth, which totally sucks."
