KIDD

Josh Lucas and Lena Headey will begin filming Tell-Tale, a loose contemporary update of Edgar Allan Poe’s classic The Tell-Tale Heart, Monday on locations in Burrillville and Providence.

Lucas, star of the films Stealth and Poseidon, will play a single father whose recently transplanted heart leads him on a frantic search to find the donor’s murderer before a similar fate befalls him. Poe’s 1843 short story revolves around a mad narrator who commits murder and is then haunted by the sound of the man’s relentless heartbeat.

Tell-Tale is being produced by Poe Boy Productions, an arm of the company helmed by director brothers Ridley Scott (Blade Runner, Gladiator, American Gangster) and Tony Scott (Top Gun, Crimson Tide). The film’s director is Michael Cuesta, who has directed independent films and episodes of the TV series Dexter and Six Feet Under. The Bermuda-born Headey is a British actress who has the title role in the Fox TV series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and has appeared in the films The Brothers Grimm and 300.

Location sites are to include the Zambarano Hospital in Burrillville and the Fogarty Judicial Complex in Providence. The filmmakers are scheduled to be in Rhode Island through April.

Pawtucket actor Steve Kidd, a familiar face to audiences attending the Sandra Feinstein-Gamm Theatre, has been singled out for the National Child Labor Committee’s Lewis Hine Award, a $1,000 prize given to unheralded individuals who work on behalf of children at risk.

Kidd, who just appeared in the Gamm’s production of Martin McDonagh’s The Pillowman, is being honored for his decade of work at a summer camp for children with HIV/AIDS. He wrote a one-man play about a blind, HIV-positive boy from the camp who died, and he performs the show throughout the Northeast at high schools, colleges and community centers, hoping to encourage others to start outreach programs for the less fortunate.

Kidd will receive the prestigious award, named for the photographer who documented exploited child laborers in the early 20th century, in New York March 31.

LeBron James is striking a pose in April’s Vogue, which features the NBA star and supermodel Gisele Bundchen on the cover.

It’s only the third time a man has appeared on a Vogue cover, with James following in the footsteps of Richard Gere, who appeared with Cindy Crawford in 1992, and George Clooney, who also appeared with Bundchen in 2000.
