My 2007
On first thought, I’d say that 2007 was fairly uneventful. My past few months have consisted of me being ill and feeling like I’ve done very little other than try and get healthy again… Then, when I properly think about it, I realise that the whole year has been MENTAL! January Me and Charlie Brooker [...]
Me and Brian
Brian and I have been busy lately. Here are a couple examples of what we’ve been doing.
Code Red
Save the image to your computer (right-click/save as; on a Mac ctrl-click/save image as). Then go to this page where you can decode it (you can also encode your own messages and send them to your friends). In the decoded message is the url for a page you can only find by decoding the above [...]
Spend Your Days In The Sunshiiiine
Well, today Sunshine was released on DVD. I thought I’d take this chance to just share some of my Sunshine memories (well the ones which come with photographs which I can more or less make public) from the past two years… During filming at 3 Mills Studios, I carried my ‘office’ with me to and [...]
Hallam Foe
I just got back from another screening of Hallam Foe. It was even better the second time ’round. Please. Please please please please. PLEEEEEAAASE go see Hallam Foe in the cinema. It really is just one of the most moving and beautiful films I’ve seen in a very long time. And more perfectly British (Scottish) [...]
Lord Vader, Rise.
I’d thoroughly recommend the Star Wars Exhibition in London. We had an excellent time… I want to go back.
Dorky Fangirl
OK. So… We’ve renamed our little cat after one of the characters in Sunshine (it’s spoilerish, so hover for name), cos he’s always in your face. I’m wearing an Icarus II uniform jacket. And judging by my eye, I’m turning into a freakin’ infected (nasty and spoilerish). Total DNA Dork.
The End…
…is very fucking nigh. Just got in from the 28 Weeks Later premiere. Jesus, it’s intense. It lulls you into a false sense of security which you know can’t last long… and then it just pulls you along, pulls you pulls you pulls you and you don’t really want to go there, but it takes [...]
Sunshine Trailer
This isn’t supposed to be released until tomorrow’s big-huge-worldwide-massive surely-everyone-is-going-to-explode-with-excitement launch of the international trailer on loads and loads of international websites. It’s all so secretive that even *I* haven’t been told what all those sites are… And then a Sunshine reader goes and finds it on a video sharing site… in the Searchlight account. [...]
Film Blogging
Colin over at Hallam Foe put up a copy of a piece about film blogging in last week’s Marketing Week. Both Colin and myself were interviewed about our experiences of blogging Hallam Foe and Sunshine respectively. Have a read.
Self-Distribution and Scoble
I only have a few minutes as I’m going into Channel 4 today to start working on the 1-2-1 Project. I went to see an preview screening of Scenes of A Sexual Nature last night. Lovely little film. Ewan McGregor was fantastic. But what makes the film extremely interesting is that the filmmakers themselves are [...]
Hallam Foe
I, along with Hugh, Euan, Annie, Tom, Lloyd, Suw and Kevin, Adriana and about 30 others, saw a very early cut of David Mackenzie’s film, Hallam Foe, tonight. One word: Brilliant. I will pay to see this film AND buy it on DVD… and I’m not just pimping for Hugh here. ;) It was genuinely [...]
