Anyone looking forward to this?


I just stumbled upon this via Starsailor's Wikipedia entry. Apparantly James Walsh is doing Keva's vocals.

It's been a while since I read the book but I'd love to see a decent adaptation of it. Of course the songs will be nowhere near as good as you imagine them in your head which will probably ruin the whole thing but if they get a decent band and edit the music clips well it could work.

This looks like Mark Elliot's directorial debut so there's no clues there as to how good this might be.

Although Ralf Little will be the 'big' name in this I can't stand the twerp so hopefully he'll be in the background.

Anyway, I'll be keeping a lookout for this in the future.

after Awaydays, not really!

I was filming as an extra in this a couple of weeks ago. It was some final crowd scenes that they wanted to do again in Liverpool. The track we were filming to was great. Everyone there seemed to really enjoy it. No idea what the rest of the film will be like though.

I went to see this yesterday. Really disappointing. So much so that I left after 70 mins (kept hoping it would get better and eventually decided it wouldn't - this is the fourth film I have EVER walked out of, and I go to the cinema about 6-8 times a month), so maybe it improves at the end? I read the book years ago and really enjoyed it, so had high hopes for the film, but it just felt really wooden and clunky.
