At the risk of being called a self-promoter, a bit of good news here that I'd like to share. My movie, THE DEVIL'S ROCK, has now acquired all the funding it needs and is officially in pre-production, scheduled to shoot in New Zealand this August. Studios and locations booked, actors being auditioned. And my hands now back to the grindstone to produce what will, hopefully, be the last rewrite. | ||

With regard to teasers on the story, I'll need to take a raincheck with the producer and director, some of whom, as you may know, are often very protective of this sort of thing. I'll just say this - it's a horror subgenre that I've always been really excited about, set in a period of history that I regard as one of my favourites. | ||

Cool! ... So is it a rock-rock, or an 'n-roll-rock? | ||

What, no casting couch? No abuses of power? That's no fun, is it? I mean, what did you go into the movie business for? | ||

Great news, Paul. Well done, and may the finished product be everything you hope it to be. Can you give us a brief plot description, or is it top secret. | ||

These are very kind words indeed. Thanking you all very much. (Mark, I do indeed remember your congrats on that London afternoon in the smoky beer-cellar). Soon as I can talk about this thing in detail, you guys will be the first to know. | ||
