BBC Drama Faces

Bruceebaby received an email from the BBC relating to our calls for Jonas to have a page of his own.....

"We have recieved many e-mails on this matter and will be working towards giving Jonas Armstong a page on Drama Faces in the next few months. I hope you understand that we are doing all we can to resolve this matter."

Break open the bubbly Angels...we got them to listen to us for once!





Filming of Series - Directors said to already be in Budapest.

Richard Armitage has said recently that he won't be in Budapest until end of June. This all does seem to indicate that Series 3 will air in 2009. Once again we can't be definite about that. We're making that prediction based on how long it normally takes to film and allowing for any delays. Wouldn't it be wonderful if they could arrange it so that series 3 was shown all around the world at the same time. Fans from across the globe have bonded over this series and they hate having to watch it at different times of the year. If we have to wait until 2009 then please let some good come out of it. And if it's shown in the UK at Christmas please let them remember that kids are watching before they give us any more surprises!

Update: Keith Allen was spotted in Cannes this week 19th May.

Q&A with Clive Barker Fangoria Convention - posted May 5th 2008


original source - many thanks to JAF Super Sleuth Springtime

Questions by Tony Timphone, Editor, Fangoria Magazine

TT: “Now this is one of several of your Books of Blood stories on the way to the Silver Screen. John Harrison, director of TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE: THE MOVIE and DUNE has just written and filmed a version of the first story, BOOK OF BLOOD, into a movie, combined with another Books of Blood story. Tell us a little bit about that project, which, not much word has gotten out about the film, except at Fangoria.com.”

Clive Barker: "...We’ve got BOOKS OF BLOOD, or THE BOOK OF BLOOD, because actually, as you’ve said John Harrison is taking the first story from the Books of Blood, and the last from that series, and made a single movie, which is very cool, starring Jonas Armstrong who plays Robin Hood, in the… you’ve probably seen all the huge billboards around town, he plays the [fake medium?] in the story and he’s superb. So, that is being edited now."

[When Springtime brought this to us it had us jumping up and down for joy. When Clive Barker uses the word superb it's a compliment of the highest order. We salute you Clive. The Angels & Autos love you!]
