Screen captures from Murdoch Mysteries Season 3 Episode 13- The Tesla Effect are up now in the the galleries.
Murdoch is called upon to investigate an exceedingly strange murder. The deceased was found inside a room locked from within with no other entrance. But there’s more to the case than that – the victim appears to have exploded and burned, yet there is no trace of an explosion or fire. Before Murdoch can proceed with his investigation, the case takes a bizarre turn when old friend and world-renowned inventor Nikola Tesla appears, announcing cryptically that he is “too late.”
Director Peter Stebbings, who cast U.S. star Woody Harrelson in the title role of his Hamilton-set super-hero tale, “Defendor,” also found that nailing down a star can be fraught with complications.
“Rarely do you end up with the person you first imagined,” says Stebbings.
“In my mind’s eye I originally wrote the script for Philip Seymour Hoffman and then when you’re dealing with distributors and they’re offering money to make the film, you supply them a list and they kind of counter with their own list. And from those two lists you kind of come up with 10 or so actors that you could envision in the role. Woody Harrelson’s name was on that list.”

A low budget, quirky, Canadian movie starring Woody Harrelson and Sandra Oh may have quietly vanished if it wasn’t for a social media campaign run out of Ottawa.
Defendor is a movie that’s all about a man who thinks he’s a modern-day super hero and traces his efforts to catch the bad guys.
The movie, part comedy and part observation on life and values, was shot in Hamilton for $3 million.
“This is just stunning. This movie is the Gone with the Wind of super hero movies,” said Dominic Bercier, a writer and digital artist in Ottawa.
Bercier partnered with Allan Isfan who makes his living in social media. The pair is now working to develop a comic book based on the movie.
However, the distributors of the movie aren’t doing much marketing. That’s when Isfan and his partners designed a Facebook page, a website, a blog, and launched a Twitter campaign to get thousands of people talking about the movie. Continue Reading…
