I wrote some dialogue today for our 'hope it gets finished [fingerscrossed]' movie 'The Warren'. Now, anyone who has checked up on the Warren site in the remotely near past will have noticed that it hasn't been updated in quite some time. For a very simple reason: no filming has taken place for months. There's been a long hiatus in which the movie almost got shelved, but now we're back on track and set to start shooting again June 8th. We have around three quarters of the footage already, so it's just a matter of tidying loose ends up, basically. So check for updates on the site around mid June.
Tonight I'm looking at paying a vist to dear Richard. I've been reading an excellent book by Patsy Rodenburg about speaking Shakespeares works, and am planning to work on using his words more dominantly as opposed to smothering the piece with unnecessary emotional hemming and hawing. The more I find out about playing Shakespeares characters, the more I realise how completely out of my depth I am. My only comfort is that just about everyone else I'm up against is in the same boat as myself.
Oh yeah, and one exciting thing I discovered this afternoon: there is a highly reputable institution that offers five day courses in television production. And one course is scheduled for July. It may be just the stepping stone to CPIT's School of Broadcasting that I was casting around for. It's also expensive. But unless I end up deciding that I don't want to take that avenue afterwards(unlikely) it's great value. So I'm pretty stoked about that.
And the Narnia soundtrack still hasn't arrived. But that's all right. I'm not bitter. I'll get them later.
