A little run-down…

On March 28, 2010, in Blog, by Adrian

Hello there! We’ve been working away for the past week and I thought it was time to post an update… in doodle form:

Okay. Maybe I’ll explain:

1. As you may know we’ve begun the very preliminary steps of casting, i.e. sending our script out to actors to see if they’re interested in the film. We’ve contacted a couple of stars already for different roles in the film, and are waiting back on them. At this time, we just want to see if they have even a little bit of interest in the script, and then all the pieces will start to come together. This can take a while though so don’t hold your breath! Stephen Fry has already agreed to a supporting role in “Clovis Dardentor” as has Annette Badland!

2. We’re talking to quite a few production companies regarding working on “Clovis Dardentor”. To get this film made and seen, we are keen to have it taken on by a company that can make it happen and increase the chances of distribution ten-fold! It’s a very exciting time as we are waiting back on some big leads! We’re also talking to quite a few potential investors. So watch this space!

3. Meanwhile, in BUYACREDIT.COM “Be A Movie Producer” land, after earning the support of Jude Law, Ian McKellen and Rowan Atkinson etc, we’re reaching out to more and more notable figures in the industry to ask them if they would consider ‘being a producer’ on “Clovis Dardentor”. Some very good responses so far from some very big names… but I can’t say anything yet!

4. Possibly most excitingly, John Magennis, the Hollywood TV Producer working on making a Reality TV Show following the making of “Clovis Dardentor” a reality (sorry), is talking to tonnes of people and getting the wheels in motion for the show. Some networks have already displayed an interest, so we’re excited to see where that goes!

… And that’s the run-down of what’s going on, what we’re waiting for and what we’re doing. Kapeesh? :)

Back In London…For Now

On March 14, 2010, in Blog, by Adrian

We’re back in London now (well we have been since Thursday actually) but we’ve been so lost in the time-zone change that we have only just recovered. On Wednesday we checked out of our hotel and went down to Hollywood Blvd where we found a Starbucks and a Subway…after coffee and lunch, we called a Taxi and went to LAX. We didn’t have to wait long before we were on the flight, but the flight itself was just a bit uncomfortable and loooonnnngggg. We couldn’t sleep at all on an overnight flight and when we arrived in London it was the next morning. So we had missed the whole night, and it was about 2 in the morning in LA. On Friday I got up at 4:30pm and had breakfast…that’s how messed up our body clocks were! Now though, we have just about recovered.

You may or may not have seen this already (USA Today Article) but John Magennis, the Hollywood TV Producer we met in LA has announced his plans to make a reality TV show following the making of Clovis Dardentor and the progression of the buyacredit.com project. This is hugely exciting news and we can’t wait to see how it all pans out. It would be amazing for the making of the film to be exposed to everyone… It will make it a TRULY open production that everyone can watch.

I’ve spent the weekend compiling some old footage for John, including some footage of the JAM shoot. Whilst doing this, I thought I might as well make a little behind the scenes video of the shoot, so I’m just finishing that up now. It is very rough and just slapped together; but it shows what happened on the two days and is quite good to watch.

Next week should be quite busy with celebrity developments, developments with the script, plans for the reality TV show, meetings for extra funding and we’re also going to approach some of our dream actors to play parts in the film. Should be exciting! Tomorrow we’ll do a video blog from the office to update you all (in more detail) on what we’re going to be up to next week. :)

In the meantime, here’s a few photos from Hollywood that I didn’t upload before:

Hollywood Continued…

On March 5, 2010, in Blog, by Adrian

Yesterday we spent the day with John Magennis, a TV Producer from LA. He’s a great guy and we had a lot of fun with him running around filming stuff in Hollywood. We woke up quite early and met him at our hotel before driving out to Beverly Hills to do some filming of us in the area. It is an amazing place and the houses are absolutely ridiculously massive. It is a much bigger area than I had first thought, and is actually a city in itself. We went to the famous Rodeo Drive and did some filming there, before driving to Malibu where I got to drive John’s Lincoln Navigator :O. Was very exciting. We also had lunch up there which was very fun. Later on we went down to the Valley to meet a friend of our publicist’s, Lynn Rose who was singing at a fun little bar called Smiley’s. That was nice. Then we just came back and literally went to sleep. We did spend some time beforehand walking up and down Hollywood Blvd trying to find Kevin Spacey’s star, but we didn’t find it as it is covered up by the Oscar’s stuff.

We’ve been watching everything get set up. The red carpet is being rolled out and the massive Oscar statues are being put into place. It’s so cool being here at the same time as the Oscars!

Meanwhile, amongst all this stuff that doesn’t really sound like work, we’ve been sending our script out to more production companies and developing it to make it better and better. We’ve also been doing some interviews out here with US and UK newspapers and radio stations whilst setting up some meetings at some big studios with some great names! Next week, us and Stephen Fry have a meeting with a very big player in Hollywood, which we hope will be successful!

So there are a lot of things going on, and we’re constantly working out here to get things moving as quickly as possible.
