Wow. Now this is fantastic news! A double whamy of movie star supporters. One of the foremost female screen actors in the world today, Whoopi Goldberg, and the legendary British actor Jeremy Irons are now producers on BUYACREDIT.COM. Both these cinema icons boast an Academy Award for Best Actor/Actress in a Leading Role and their names are well and truly known throughout the world.
But I don’t need to tell you this, do I?
I first wriggled my way into contact with Whoopi a month or so, and her business partner, Tom (who must be one of the nicest people in the world) really loved the project and so he told Whoopi about it. Before long, I found myself meeting the pair of them at the ABC Studios in New York. It was amazing!
But meeting them wasn’t without its hiccups: I walked into the studios to meet Whoopi after she finished recording “The View” and signed in with the receptionist. They sat me down on the side, and more and more people came over and sat next to me. After a while I went up and asked the receptionist when she was going to take me up to the studio and she said “In ten minutes, we’ll take you all up, get you in costume and then we start shooting the commercial at 1 o’ clock” – woh, woh woh. After telling her that I wasn’t an actor for the commerial, she scrambled for her notes and with a big ‘Ah, I see’ she took me upstairs. It was very funny. I wonder what commercial I could’ve been in if I’d just gone with the flow?
Anyway… what I really want to say is that meeting such a screen icon was absolutely amazing, and to know that she loved the idea and was giving us her full backing was just incredible. Thank you Whoopi! She even took the time to make a support video for us, recruiting YOU to be a Movie Producer. You can see this FOR THE FIRST TIME at the top of the post!
However, Whoopi’s not the only movie star to sign up recently… The incomparable Jeremy Irons has also given us his full support. We haven’t yet had the privelege of meeting him, but we’ve been in constant contact with his lovely assistant, Katy, who has been filling Jeremy in on our progress. Just a few days ago, Jeremy told us that we had his full support in making “Clovis Dardentor” and following through on the BUYACREDIT.COM project.
It’s an unbeatable feeling to know that such BIG stars back us in what we’re doing. Jude Law, Sir Ian McKellen, Jeremy Irons, Whoopi Goldberg, Rowan Atkinson, Stephen Fry, Phillip Schofield, Joanna Lumley… AH, there are too many!
If you’d told me last year that this was going to happen, I would’ve laughed in your face (sorry; I just would’ve).
Meanwhile, things are progressing well with the TV show and production for the film. All still a bit ‘behind-the-scenes’ on that end of things but I’ll tell you stuff when I can!
Bye!
Hmmmm. I’m typing this from home when I should be in our London office. So should Toby and Ben. But we’re all stuck at home. The snow that has hit (I say hit, I mean sprinkled over) the London area in the last few weeks has been a bit of a pain. I don’t mean to be a snow-scrooge, but I can’t say I’ll be sad when it all melts away.
. All the dedicated services seemed to be over-priced and so we invited the newsletter into the office and gently let him go. But it looks like he’ll be coming back, as we’ve found an affordable solution! However, it may be in the form of a Fortnightly Newsletter, to keep costs down. I’ll let you know as soon as this goes ahead.
