Matthew Lillard doesn’t have the chops to be a good dramatic actor. I learned this years ago with Thirteen Ghosts. However, you can’t blame the man for trying, because there aren’t any Scooby Doo sequels on the horizon. (There is a made for TV prequel coming, though, if that’s your thing. Lillard isn’t involved.)
Director Rob Cowan (The Crazies remake, Righteous Kill, The Net) has completed screenwriter Larry Cohen’s Messages Deleted, the third in a string of phone-centric films from the writer following Cellular and Phone Booth.
While the central concept of the film isn’t altogether bad, Lillard seems silly and Deborah Kara Unger doesn’t seem to help. The official plot synopsis is as follows:
A quivering voice begs screenwriter, Joel Brandt, to pick up the phone on a message from his answering machine. Thinking its a prank, Joel deletes the message. The caller is found dead. Another caller leaves Joel a message; there is another murder…then another…then another. The killer has Joel’s attention, and Joel now has the attention of the police.
Now the prime suspect in a series of murders, Joel discovers this psychotic killer has targeted him for a reason found within his body of work. Will Joel be able to re-write his ending, or be forced to pay the ultimate price?

“Matthew Lillard does not have the chops to be good dramatic actor” do you even know who your talking about? Obviously, you did’t see the March 17th episode of Law and Order SVU? Anyone who has will tell you he is amazingly talented. As one of his many loyal fans, I must say one of the things that I love the most about him is that when I am deciding which one of his movies to watch I can choose between everything from animal room (a clockwork orange-esque drama) or scooby doo, love’s labours lost ( a romantic comedy music based on the shakespearean play, he is trained in shakespeare by the way) or 13 ghosts. I’ll admit that is not the type of movie in which you would expect to see fantastic acting, but he blew me away and that is what began by admiration for him. I am dieing to see him in messages deleated as well as all of his other upcoming works and I know he will thrill me once again. And to anyone else who doubts his range: YOU HAVE TO SEE SPANISH JUDGES (WHICH HE ALSO CO-PRODUCED) THE GROOMSMEN, BICKFORD SCHMECKLER’S COOL IDEAS, WHAT LOVE IS, AND EVERYTHING MENTIONED ABOVE.
