Hollywood is turning Snowpiercer into a TV series.
The 2013 cult classic Korean feature film is being turned into a TV series with Josh Friedman (Sarah Connor Chronicles) attached to write the script for Tomorrow Studios, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The TV series will be based on the 2013 movie that was written and directed by Bong Joon Ho in his first English-language movie.
The movie starred Chris Evans and Tilda Swinton and focuses an a post-apocalyptic Ice Age where the only remaining people in the world survive by riding on a train that travels around the world.
The movie was released in 2014 and made $4.5 million in the United States and $86.8 million worldwide after it was released on video on demand after only two weeks.
Snowpiercer
This is just the latest of a long list of reboots, remakes, and spinoffs Hollywood has put into production over the last two years.
Aspiring screenwriter pitches ‘Die Hard’ sequel movie in a full page ad.
There is reportedly going to be a sixth Die Hard movie coming soon, which will “feature flashbacks to McClane’s days as a rough and tumble New York City cop in 1979.”
The storyline behind the upcoming Die Hard sequel has not been revealed. But, this has not stopped one aspiring screenwriter from pitching his Die Hard sequel idea.
Writer Eric D. Wilkinson wrote in a full-page ad he took out in the Hollywood Reporter pitching his own version of a Die Hard movie.
Die Hard: Year One will start out with McClane going to prison. Before audiences find out what he did, the film will flash back to the 1970s, when he accidentally lets a suspect get away. We fast-forward back to present, and while McClane is still in Russia after the pointless events of A Good Day to Die Hard, “the body of that suspect is discovered along with DNA evidence pointing to… John McClane.”
After returning to the United States, McClane is arrested and convicted of murder, at which point he is sent to a super prison of major criminals.
McClane’s wife then finds evidence that proves he didn’t do it, but when she goes to the prison to show it to him, a riot breaks out and the prison goes into lockdown. Eventually, the rioters take over the prison and capture several hostages, at which point it’s revealed the riot was part of a plan to break the terrorists out of the prison and blow up New York City. “However, the one thing [the] terrorists didn’t count on was the one man who is always in the wrong place at the wrong time…and when it comes to John McClane, old habits die hard.”
Die Hard
Wilkinson included a phone number and e-mail address where he can be reached.
A panhandler outside Grand Central Terminal says he rakes in up to $200 an hour from kind-hearted New Yorkers.
And the 43-year-old former theater stagehand is only one of a legion of beggars in the city hauling in big bucks and a smorgasbord of food doing nothing but sitting on the sidewalk with hands out.
“On a Friday morning, I make $400 in two hours,’’ said Will Andersen, who was with his 9-year-old dog, Rizzo, on East 42nd Street between Vanderbilt and Madison avenues on Tuesday.
Apparently, this is all legal. The NYPost talked to Police Commissioner Bill Bratton and he responded by saying to stop giving people money. “I have gotten $80 or $100 from a single person. And they will say, ‘Just do something good tonight.’ They mean go to a hotel or a hostel,’’ he said. “I get people who give me five bucks each day. Five bucks each day, that’s five days a week, two people — that’s $50 a week right there. I get dog food. I put away for rent. I pay $300 a month, that’s nothing.”
Johnny Depp was nearly fired from Pirates of the Caribbean for appearing “drunk” or “gay” while acting out scenes as Captain Jack.
After four feature films and an upcoming fifth production in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, there is no denying that Johnny Depp is the driving creative force behind the hit Disney series and without him Pirates of the Caribbean would have probably flopped in the box office.
But in a recent interview, it was revealed Disney was not that sure that Johnny Depp was the right actor the job.
During the AFI Fest 2015, Johnny Depp recalled that Disney executives were initially confused by Depp’s portrayal of Sparrow, which was partially based off the 18th century pirates and modern day rock stars and questioned if Johnny Depp should be allowed to remain as the star in the movie, or be fired.
Johnny Depp recalled the story:
“They wanted to fire me. I remember it trickled back to me that [former Diseny CEO] Michael Eisner went on some sort of vent about how, “Goddamnit, Johnny Depp’s ruining the film. What is it? What is that thing? Is it drunk? Is it gay?” So I fully expected to be fired.”
But it was how Johnny Depp responded that really shows why Johnny Depp is an A-list actor. Depp responded by saying, “Well, didn’t you know that all my characters are gay?”
It was after that comment that Johnny Depp admitted he “was really expecting to be fired,” but surprisingly he wasn’t.
After the actor told Disney to trust his acting decision and method for the character of Jack Sparrow, Disney did the right thing and left Johnny Depp to do his own thing and act however he saw fit and it worked.
Johnny Depp’s portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow not only landed him a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor in 2004, but he has also earned $3.7 billion for Disney.
Production for the fifth film in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. Johnny Depp will reprise his iconic role, as will Geoffrey Rush, and Orlando Bloom.
According to reports, the movie is currently in early stages of editing and post production.

Have you ever wondered how much a model makes? Well, we will break down the average salary for models in the entertainment industry and we promise you, you will be will be surprised.
What does a Model do?
To make a living and get paid as a model, models must work unpredictable work schedules and be ready in a moments notice to pose for a photographer or fashion line. They suffer long periods of unemployment, must attend unpaid auditions and strenuous casting sessions. In addition, models are required to travel to different locations for work.
What kind of salary does a typical model earn?
Models earn an average of $13.38 per hour, or about $27,830 per year according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Average salaries ranged from $43,840 per year on the high end but dropped to a little more than minimum wage at $15,960 per year.
What kind of training do you need?
Qualifications to earn a living as a model are minimal and it all comes down to your genetics. If you are the right height, weight, clothing size and physical appearance than you have the chance to becoming a model. No formal education is required and most models learn their skills on the job. Some training is available at modeling schools were students can learn how to pose, walk like a model, and apply make up for modeling jobs. However, models do require a portfolio of high-quality photos.
Where can you get a job as a model?
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statstics, the biggest employers of models wer ecolleges, universities, and professional schools, which offered $15.06 per year. Then high schools which paid $39,610 or $19.04 for a photo shoot. Then came Home shopping networks and mail order productions which paid $28.33 per hour.
Where should you move to get a job as a model?
California currently has the highest number of jobs for models, according to Chron.com. The average pay for a model in California is about $25 per hour or $52,000 per year. Followed by Ohio and then New York City.
Should you become a model?
The number of jobs are expected to increase in the next 5 years, according to the BLS. However, due to the low number of models, this growth only actually equates to only 200 new jobs. Most of the opportunities will be in print and digital media advertising.
Competition is tough, with more models competing for fewer job openings. In addition, careers for models are short because employers are always looking for younger models.
Have you ever wanted to audition for a modeling contract with Victoria’s Secret?
Well here is an inside look at the casting process behind one of the biggest fashion lines in the world.
Sure, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is one of the biggest events in the world featuring live musical acts, runway extravaganzas, and Angel Wings. But, we highly doubt you know the casting process behind Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
The lingerie label posted a video on its YouTube page, walking viewers through its long casting process. With over 500 model applicants, the casting directors meet with hundreds of models who are hoping to land one of the 45 spots.
“I saw close to 300 in the first two days of casting, which I do on my own with my team,” says John Pfeiffer, Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show casting director. “And in the two days of call-backs, I try to keep it to a maximum of 100 girls.”
But during those auditions, the casting process is a serious endeavour and a lot more nerve-wracking than you would automatically assume. Models from all over the world fight for a spot at one of the biggest fashion events in the world.
“You’re meant to be objective about it, but you know how hard all the girls have worked for it,” says Ed Razek, the show’s executive producer. “A few of them showed their emotions, but they all feel that way. Everyone of them feels that way.”
“There’s several who are either fighting back tears or literally crying in here today because there’s such a buildup, and they’ve been working for it and wanting it so badly,” adds Monica Mitro, executive producer.
Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid made their Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show debut, joining veteran Angels Lily Aldridge, Alessandra Ambrósio, Adrianna Lima, Behati Prinsloo and Candice Swanepoel.
You can watch the full video below:
The Victoria Secret Fashion Show will air on December 8th on CBS.
McDonalds will now offer $1 mozzarella Sticks nationwide.
In news that will probably upset the Center of Disease Control and the World Health Organization, McDonalds will now sell you mozzarella sticks for 1 dollar.
Following a mozzarella stick test at McDonald’s restaurants in New York, McDonald’s will expand nationwide in 2016, according to reports.
Mozzarella sticks will be sold at stores across the country for only $1 for a pack of three.
The launch of mozzarella sticks, which are fried before arriving at McDonalds and then baked at McDonald’s ovens, is an example of how the Golden Arches are thinking outside of the box to reach customers. But, this is not something new as cheese bites are available at McDonald’s U.K. menu.

“While we know the vast majority of our growth will come from national initiatives, regional empowerment has given our local markets the power to plus up the national plan, drive incremental sales and profit, and provide a pipeline of new ideas for the system,” said Mike Andres, the president of McDonald’s USA, during Tuesday’s investor meeting.
Earnings for McDonald’s have not been that good for the fast food restaurant in recent years. It was reported last month that the franchise finally started growing U.S. sales for the first time in two years. “While still in the early stages, we believe our turnaround plan is starting to generate the change needed to reposition McDonald’s as a modern, progressive burger company,” CEO Steve Easterbrook said at the time.
But, McDonald’s is also heading into the movie business to help boost sales. The upcoming feature film, The Founder, starring Michael Keaton just finished filming in Atlanta, Georgia last summer.
What do you think? Are you going to be eating the new mozzarella sticks from McDonald’s?
HBO’s Game of Thrones actor, Elie Haddad, just leaked a make script spoiler online.
French actor Elie Haddad is reportedly on set for a major role in Season 6 of Game of THrones. He was having a good old time posting photos on Instagram from Belfast, until he posted a picture that may put him on the hot seat.
While obviously trying to show off his taste in coffee, Haddad must have forggoten that his script was in the background. The text is hard to make out, but here are some of the lines the fan website Watchers on the Wall have decrypted.
“I like her.”
“She’s paler than milk.”
“I bet she gets nice and pink when you pinch her.”
“I’d like to know what a Khaleesi tastes like.”
“Good. You can suck my dick.”
Watchers on the Wall also says the world Khal can be seen a few times.
From the script, it appears Daenerys Tagaryen (Emilia Clarke) was in fact, taken captive by the Dothraki who surrounded her at the end of Season 5.
Mashable also reports someone also spotted the word Missandei as well, which means Daenerys’ advisors on GOT may have found her.
At this point, the HBO show has basically finished all of George R.R. Martin’s novels, so any information about Season 6 will come to a suprise even to those avid readers of the Game of Thrones series.
What will this all mean?
Game of Thrones
Emilia Clarke has pointed out that Season 6 is the most shocking ever (even though everyone says that), and if Missandei is some how planning on heading to Dothraki Sea to save Khalessi, expect the drama.

FX will cancel American Horror Story after their sixth season.
The network has ordered one final season of American Horror Story. The new season will premiere next year, according to THR.
“With the sixth installment coming next year, American Horror Story has unquestionably joined the ranks of television’s landmark series,” said FX Networks CEO John Landgraf broke the news on Tuesday. “From Murder House to Hotel, AHS has pioneered a new television form, as well as becoming FX’s highest-rated show, while also pushing every conceivable boundary of creative excellence and audacity.” Landgraf added “This is even more remarkable because Ryan and co-creator Brad Falchuk tear up the playbook every year, challenging the entire creative team to come up with something even more spectacular, frightful and entertaining. You could not ask more of an artist, their team or a series and with every new installment they deliver.”
American Horror Story is the most watched TV series on the FX network. The Hotel premiere is the second-most-watched TV show in FX Networks history, coming second only to the premiere episode of American Horror Story: Freak Show.
But, American Horror Story creator, Ryan Murphy, plans on creating other TV shows and productions for the FX network. Including the upcoming American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson, as well as several other productions still in development.
The Walking Dead announces who will play Negan on the hit TWD series.
For over a year, people have been wondering if the character Negan was going to make an appearance on The Walking Dead. Which is a pretty big deal because in the comic books Negan is the one of the most brutal villains in The Walking Dead comic book series and is the man responsible for killing Glenn.
Well, The Walking Dead announced earlier today that they have finally found the actor to play Negan on The Walking Dead.
Following an extensive casting search, AMC’s The Walking Dead has found their next villain. Jeffrey Dean Morgan has been chosen to take the major role of Negan, the character from the Robert Kirkman comic book series.

The character, who is expected to appear in the season six finale directed by Special FX coordinator Greg Nicotero, is the violent leader of a group known as The Saviors who use force and intimidation to subjugate other communities including Alexandria.
Negan first appears in the 100th issue when he crosses paths with Rick Grimes, who had been pretty vocal about killing the man who takes the community’s supplies in order for “protection” from walkers.
Basically, Negan makes David Morrissey’s character The Governor look like an episode of Boy Meets World.
Negan, who went through the mysterious casting process under the name of “Orin” has become a major villain in the comic book series ever since he kills Glenn with “Lucille,” a baseball bat covered with barbed wire that he always has by his side. In fact, in the latest issue of The Walking Dead Negan is still alive.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan will join the show as a guest star and then promoted to a series regular for season seven of The Walking Dead. But Jeffrey Dean had major competition for the role of Negan. Morgan competed against Timothy Olyphant, Matt Dillon and Garret Dillahunt, according to sources close to The Hollywood Reporter.
Production of the season six finale of The Walking Dead starts this week in Atlanta, Georgia.
The Walking Dead has been teasing the introduction of Negan for the past two seasons. With the season five trailer depicting a member of the Terminus community about to take a swing at Glenn’s head with a baseball bat.
Morgan has a pretty long list of jobs in Hollywood. He is currently a series regular on CBS’ hit TV series The Good Wife, Halle Berry’s now cancelled series Extant, he starred on the now cancelled Starz network series Magic City and had a major storyline on ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy.
Morgan will also appear on Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice.
Deadpool has finished filming but, that doesn’t mean there isn’t any controversy surrounding the production. For a comic book character that was once called too outrageous for mainstream audiences, it is now in the editing room with producers deciding what should or should not appear in the movie. And apparently, Deadpool’s sexuality is being discussed and for the record he is pansexual.
Collider recently spoke with Ryan Reynolds about his upcoming superhero movie, and Ryan Reynolds noted they had not been asked to hold anything back.
You kinda think you have moments when you’re shooting where you think, “This is, uh, a little excessive. This is a comic-book movie. Are we gonna get away with this?” But so far so good. Studio hasn’t crushed us with anything.
In fact, director Tim Miller wants you to know that Deadpool is pansexual. What’s pansexuality? Well, according to CNN here’s what it means:
Pansexual (CNN.com)
Recently, Miley Cyrus used the word pansexual to describe herself in July. It is being labeled as one of those terms people are using to identify their sexual orientation or gender. What does this mean for the upcoming Deadpool movie? We will have to wait and say.
Terminally ill Star Wars fan dies five days after seeing The Force Awakens at a special early screening. Daniel, 32, died in his sleep on Tuesday. Last week his quest to see the Star Wars movie went viral thanks to the hashtag #ForceForDaniel and support from the Star Wars franchise cast including John Boyega and Mark Hamill.
J.J. Abrams personally called Daniel to tell him that his dying wish had come true.
He was given a private screening of an unedited version of the movie last Thursday in his home.
Daniel was diagnosed with the rare cancer spindle cell sarcoma two years ago and in September was only given two months to live.
‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ was co-written and directed by JJ Abrams and takes place 30 years after ‘Star Wars: The Return of the Jedi,” when the rebels crushed the Galactic Empire. While audiences will see some of their favorite actors return to their iconic roles, a new wave of villains and heroes are expected to appear in the new feature film.
‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens” features Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, Kenny Baker, Lupita Nyong’o, Gwendoline Christie and Pip Anderson.\
Underground cheap butt injections are killing aspiring models.
A beauty shop in Georgia is basically giving away Brazilian butt lifts, for $98 on Groupon. It’s a good deal, if you don’t mind the possibility of medical complications. As the Groupon listing points out, a place named Eye Kandy Lashes Beauty Bar & Boutique located in Marietta, Georgia is offering three options for butt lift specials.
$98 for two Brazilian Butt Lifts
$179 for four Brazilian Butt Lifts
$239 for six Brazilian Butt Lifts
Which begs the question, how many butt lifts do you really need? So far at least three people have purchased this Groupon Butt lift deal. But, if you think $98 and the possibility of medical complications is a good deal, then that’s up to you. It is important to keep in mind that a butt lift from a certified physician costs thousands of dollars. In fact, after administrative fees, medication, and medical extras it costs about $8k to get a butt lift.
The recovery period is longer and more painful because you need your butt to do the most basic physical activities, like walking or standing. You have to lie on your stomach exclusively for the first three days, including in the backseat of the car on your way to your first post-op visit. You can’t even return to your desk job, drive, or go to the movies for at least two to three weeks.
“No sitting will be permitted for the first ten days (except for toileting),” according to the ASAPS. When you finally are allowed to sit again, you can only do so on a pillow for the next two months. Doctors advise that you not shop for new clothes for at least three months because of swelling. You can begin exercising again after eight weeks. [Jezebel]
Butt Injection Groupon (Jezebel.com)
But, with Georgia’s growing film industry and popular Atlanta music video industry, you can’t go a day without seeing a new casting calls for beautiful models. However, Georgia’s growing film industry is coming with a dangerous price. Dozens of women are turning to unlicensed doctors to receive butt injections.
Earlier this year, a woman was found guilty of manslaughter in connection with illegal blackmarket silicone buttocks injections that prosecutors say killed a woman in 2012 in Atlanta.
Natasha Stewart, of suburban Memphis, Tenn., was found guilty Friday in Jackson, Miss., in the death of 37-year-old Karima Gordon of Atlanta.
Stewart had been charged with “depraved-heart” murder, but the jury was told it could consider the lesser charge of culpable negligent manslaughter.
Authorities say Stewart, an adult entertainer also known as Pebbelz Da Model, took $200 for a referral to the alleged injector and falsely represented that the injector was a nurse.
But, this is not an isolated incident. A quick google search and you will dozens of cases where woman are killed due to fatal butt injections.
One of the most popular cases is the case of the Black Madam, a woman who allegedly gave celebrities illegal butt injections. The transgender woman is currently on trial for the death of a British woman. The Black Madam, once known as the self pro-claimed “Michelangelo of buttocks injections,” faces prison time for the 2011 death of a British dancer who received illegal silicone butt shots. But, after facing life in prison, she has started listing all the celebrities she gave butt injections to. Windslowe said that she performed the procedure for Amber Rose back in her Kanye days, which instantly opened doors for her business to more celebrity clientele, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Winslowe boasted that her work on Kanye’s ex-girlfriend was became “walking billboard” that opened the door for a lot of celebrity clients and their girlfriends. Winslowe says that among her growing clientele at the time included a woman she would only describe as “Chris Brown’s girlfriend.” She also said none other than Nicki Miniaj had set up an appointment to get the illegal injections, but for some inexplicable reason, did not make it. Apparently from the looks of it, Minaj found another back-alley doctor to perform the procedure. [Atlanta Daily World]
So how does butt injections work?
According to CBS46 report with Dr. Moore, the medical director of The Lifestyle Center, said illegal injections of silicon, or even “Fix a Flat” tire inflator are the typical instruments used for butt injections. “There are people who are actually advised not to go to the hospital by the person who did the injection and ended up dying. It’s not that uncommon of an occurrence with these type of injections,” said Dr. Moore.
But, what happens if you survive butt injections?
What happens then? Well, nothing good. A former model recently revealed the problem with getting butt enhancement injections. In order to boost her modeling career, Anivia turned to the black market for butt injections, so she could have more curves. She revealed that it was “addictive” and now she lives with nonstop pain due to granuloma.
Then, the liquid silicone-like substance that was illegally injected into Anivia’s rear began to spread elsewhere. “I developed something called granuloma,” Anivia says. “When they were injecting me, the silicone migrated to different parts of my body. It went down; you know, it’s gravity.”
This migration has since caused severe damage, she adds.
“My nerves are damaged because of it. I have scar tissue inside of me. I have severe swelling,” Anivia says. “I was maybe at about 42 inches around my hips, but now because of the swelling and inflammation, my hips are like a 47. This foreign substance is a part of me now.”

Here’s the story of William Richard Bradford and Rodney Alcala, two headshot photographers that killed aspiring models and photographers.
Any casting director will tell you that you need a headshot in order to make it into the entertainment industry. But, what if the person you are getting a headshot from is a serial killer? Sounds like a storyline to Fox’s Scream Queens? Unfortunately, this actually happen. Here’s the true story of William Richard Bradford and Rodney Alcala, serial killing headshot photographers who allegedly killed over 100 aspiring models and actors.
Who is William Richard Bradford?
William Richard “Bill” Bradford was a Los Angeles serial killer who was incarcerated in San Quentin State Prison in 1984 for the murder of his 15-year-old neighbor Tracey Campbell and barmaid Shari Miller.
But, it all started in July 1984, while out on bail and awaiting trial for rape, Bradford met Shari Miller, a bar maid at a Los Angeles bar called “The Meet Market.” Bradford told her he was a professional photographer and offered to help her build up her modeling portfolio with a free photo shoot.
Bradford took Shari Miller to a campsite in the deserts of north Los Angeles, photographed her in various modeling poses, and then strangled her. After killer her, Bradford sliced off her tattoos and removed her blouse. He then took her body to a Hollywood parking lot, where he dumped her body in an alley. When the body was found with no ID she was labeled “Jane Doe #60.
A few days later, Bradford convinced his 15-year-old neighbor Tracey Campbell that she could be a model and he did the same thing again. Bradford would later strangle Tracey Campbell.
Bradford would later be arrested, fire his lawyer, and decide to represent himself. During the phase in trial in which Bradford acted as his own attorney, he offered no evidence or arguments to prove he was innocent. In fact, during the closing statement Bradford said the following: Think of how many you don’t even know about. You are so right. That’s it.” implying he killed many more.
In 2006, the Los Angeles Police department released head shots taken from the photos in Bradford’s apartment.
Detectives claimed they believed the women could all be Bradford’s victims due to his history of taking photos of his victims before killing them. Since the photos were released, at least one woman #28 has been identified as as Donnalee Campbell Duhamel, a woman whose decapitated corpse was found in a canyon in Malibu in 1978.
A vast majority of the women remain unidentified, and are all viewed as possible victims.
Who is Rodney Alcala?
Rodney Alcala
You would think this is a random occurence. But, in the late 70s another photographer named Rodney Alcala did the same thing. Claiming to be a headshot photographer, he would take photos of his victims before savagely killing them.
On July 26, 1979, homicide detectives from Huntington Beach, California found hundreds of photographs of unidentified women in a Seattle storage locker belonging to a man named Rodney Alcala. Detectives were looking into the murder of 12-year-old Robin Samsoe, who had been seen talking with Alcala a month previously. Her earrings were found in the same locker along with hundreds of photos.
Alcala was born in San Antonio, studied fine Arts at UCLA and would later travel to NYU, where he studied film under Roman Polanski. Polanski, whose wife would be later murdered by serial killer Charles Manson, taught Alcala how to use a camera, which helped him create a career as a “fashion photographer.”
This is how he was able to take so many photos of aspiring models. Including 23-year-old New York flight attendant CorneliaCrilley who he strangled to death in 1971. He would also strangle several other woman he tricked into taking photo shoots with.
Rodney Alcala appears on The Dating Game
Alcala would later appear on the ABC game show The Dating Game, where he beat two contestants for a date with a woman named Cheryl Bradshaw. However, this didn’t work out as Bradshow said he was “creepy” backstage. She told CNN in 2010, “He was quiet, but at the same time he would interrupt and impose when he felt like it. He became very unlikable and rude and imposing as though he was trying to intimidate. I wound up not only not liking this guy… He was a standout creepy guy in my life.”
Later that year he would murder two other women, Charlotte Lamb and Jill Parenteau
It would take nearly 30 years due to several appeals before Alcala was given the death penalty.
In three different trials, he was proven to have murdered at least seven different women, and detectives believe that number is actually incomplete. In fact, Huntington Beach Police Department released Alcala’s photos at the end of the 2010 trial, hoping some of the hundreds of women could be identified.

“A handful of woman (less than 30) identified themselves as having posed for the pictures,” reported HBPD detective Patrick Ellis. “His collection included coworkers, classmates, girlfriends, family members, and strangers, but less than ten admitted to knowing him personally.”
While you might say, this took place over 30 years ago. Most recently, the website ModelMayhem.com, was allegedly linked to several murders, according to ABC news.
Model Mayhem has a dangerous history. The National Women’s Coalition Against Violence and Exploitation said it can connect a dozen missing girls nationwide to the website.
One of them, Kara Nichols, is from Colorado Springs, Colo. She has been missing since last October when she told a friend she was heading two hours to Denver for a modeling gig.
