Gilmore News - Gilmore Girls Community
The top community for Gilmore Girls. Keeping Gilmore Girls alive and news on what the Gilmore cast is up to now. Daily updates since 2005.
Sean Gunn (Kirk Gleason on Gilmore Girls) will be making an appearance in Portland on July 29th.
Sean will be reading a story with Gina Clover. The event features true stores based on the theme He Said / She Said. Two people tell the same story from their different point of views – though they may not end up hearing the other person first!
Sounds like a fun event and a good opportunity to meet Sean, if you want to! You can RSVP here.
Two Gilmore Girls guys have landed roles in the same upcoming movie! Sean Gunn (Kirk on Gilmore Girls) and Gregg Henry (Mitchum on Gilmore Girls) have signed on for the film Super, written and directed by Sean’s brother James Gunn.
The film stars Rainn Wilson as an everyday guy who becomes “The Crimson Bolt”, a superhero with the best of intentions but very few skills. The film co-stars Ellen Page, Liv Tyler, and Kevin Bacon. Gregg Henry is listed in the credits as Detective John Felkner while Sean Gunn is listed as Toby.
I’ll keep you posted with more film details as they emerge!

A while ago we shared some of the very first commercials for KGB starring Sean Gunn (Kirk Gleason on Gilmore Girls). KGB is a site about knowledge, kind of like Wikipedia, with the commercials starring Sean as one of the expert agents answering questions in the field. There have now been 12 ads made, with the last 3 being quite funny! This one, “melons”, is one of my favorites:

Last year, we introduced you to a web series that Sean Gunn (Kirk Gleason on Gilmore Girls) was starring in. The series airs on Spike.com and was created by Sean’s brother, James Gunn, along with help also from brother Brian Gunn.
The series deals with adult themes, though not explicit, so young readers are not encouraged to click through.
However, I wanted to put together an update on Sean’s involvement. To date, Sean Gunn has been a part of 4 of the 13 episodes that have aired. The latest episode aired one week ago and is a pun on the series General Hospital.
The photo to the left shows Sean portraying one of the characters he has played in the Spike.com series.

Sean Gunn (Kirk Gleason on Gilmore Girls) stars in the new ad campaign for the KGB – the Knowledge Generation Bureau. Not the Russian KGB. But a site intending to become a general place for knowledge, but a site more reliable than Wikipedia.
The KGB commercials involve a CIA-like environment with a team of experts who seem to know the answers to everything. The first ad had a woman being interviewed as a new expert; the subsequent ads have her being shown around their facility. Sean Gunn appears starting in the second ad as one of the experts.
Sean Gunn is one of the general knowledge experts and the partner of the new hire. They squabble about how to pronounce “grapple” at first. In the third ad, he mostly just nods and sneezes. In the fourth KGB ad Sean & the new hire take their kbg-mobile out for their first assignment, grilling each other on the way to give a Daiquiri recipe to a couple of bikini-glad girls. That’s the best video.

John Cabrera (Brian Fuller on Gilmore Girls) has turned his hand from acting to work behind the camera. Together with Cosimo De Tommaso, John Cabrera will be writing and executive producing a new live action web series with Warner Premiere. The thriller series, H+, is a Sci Fi story about a semi-apocalyptic future after an act of cyber-terrorisism wipes out most of the world… the part of the world where people’s brains were hardwired to the Web (Sound Sci Fi enough?).
John Cabrera and Cosimo De Tommaso pitched H+ as a regular tv series, but were persuaded to make it a digital offering. Once the project is complete (maybe mid 2009), it’s likely to make its way to TheWB.com for us to watch! The web series has not yet been cast, though Bryan Singer is attached as an overseeing producer; the project is still looking for a director.
This is not John’s first foray into working behind the camera. He has directed the short film Crazy Love, the featurette The Man Who Invented the Moon, which starred Sean Gunn (Kirk on Gilmore Girls), and Affair Game in 2004 with Liza Weil (Paris Geller on Gilmore Girls)
Sean Gunn (Kirk on Gilmore Girls) teams up with his brother James Gunn to work on a new show originally created for Xbox Live called Humanzee. James Gunn created the series and also stars in it. Sean Gunn plays his half-human half-chimp son, the Humanzee.
Xbox Live sponsors recently deemed that the show was a little too horror, not enough comedy. In the series, Humanzee likes to kill women and eat babies. So yes, it’s a little “out there”. Instead, Humanzee will be moved somewhere else (James Gunn writes). James Gunn is creating a different story for XBox Live, called Sparky and Mikaela, in which Sean Gunn will also be a part! It will begin shooting this month. Meanwhile, here is the completed trailer for Humanzee:
Sean Gunn also worked with brother James on PG-Porn and on Scream Queens.
