Sunshine Popular Culture
We arrived back from New York late last night. This morning I got up early-ish and started my regular tour through all my places online. On YouTube, I’d noticed that someone had put up a video response to the ‘Sunshine’ trailer in my account. At first it looked like a fan video – the song [...]
Sunshine In The Cinema
Sunshine is on at the Rio Cinema Dalston in London this weekend as part of the Physics On Film festival run by the Institute of Physics (and organised by my friend Sam Rae:). Unfortunately, I’m not going to be in London this weekend otherwise I’d be there. I’d love to see ‘Sunshine’ in the cinema [...]
Light, Love and The Lifecycle of a Star
Another post I did for the Sunshine blog. In the beginning, it was hot. Really, really hot. You know how hot the inside of your oven is? Well, that is a relative walk in the park compared to how unfathomably hot it was at the Big Bang. It was so hot that Time, Space, Matter [...]
The Eye Of God
I’ve been going through some of the stuff I wrote for Sunshine. It’s been a while since I visited the site and was surprised and delighted by what I read. I wrote that? Here’s a short one which was pretty cool.
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 [...]
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 [...]
Lovely Widget
I’m just seeing how this looks and works here. I’ve sent it out via Facebook already, but want to see how it looks here…
Fantastic Four Premiere
I just got in from the Rise of the Silver Surfer premiere. I unexpectedly got some tickets for it today when I was at a meeting at Fox. I took my son who *loves* the first film and was very keen to try and meet each of the actors. I said that might be difficult, [...]
Sunshine And CERN
OK. A couple exciting things. First things first, as all of you Sunshine fans will have heard by now, the film is being released in the US and Canada on the 20th of July! Yes! Finally. I’m soooooo very excited. I’m hoping to be in the States then, too, so I’ll be able to go [...]
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.
Moscow
Just got back from Moscow last night. Brian and I went over for the red carpet premiere of ‘Sunshine’ or ‘Пекло’ as it is in Russian… I’m still very tired. Here are some pictures for you to look at… The eternal flame war memorial Brian in front of Lenin’s Mausoleum Brian in front of St. [...]
I Found Him In The Sunshine
“Who knows what the Sun does to people and how they react when they get close to it? The word ‘lunacy’ comes from supposedly having mental illness in reaction to the lunar light. One might come up with ‘solacy’ for the Sun.”- Nick Kanas, Professor of Psychiatry at the University of California San Francisco specialising [...]
Lost In Sunshine
I’m not going to surface from Sunshine until the film is released. I’ve now seen Sunshine three times – the first time with Brian, Phil and Damien, all of whom worked on the film, the second time with a group of film journalists, the final time with, well, just normal people who knew nothing more [...]
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. [...]
Perspective
I’m just going to re-post something I’ve just put up at Sunshine: This is the time of year to reflect on the past year and to look forward to the next 12 months. We focus on the things we’ve achieved, the things we will achieve, our plans, our hopes, our dreams. Far, far too often [...]
Happy Halloween!
