Captures: ‘The Devil’s Whore’, Part 1
21 November 2008, 01:34 pm
I’ve uploaded a few captures from the first episode of The Devil’s Whore. You can see them here. Mind the spoilers. If you missed the programme, you can catch it again on Saturday at 9:00 pm on Channel 4.
If you very much enjoyed the first episode (as I did), you can let Channel 4 know through their website. Apparently there are no plans for a DVD release yet, so you can also let them know that there’s demand for it.

The Times: Devil’s Advocate
19 November 2008, 04:33 pm

And of course remember to tune in Channel 4 at 9:00 pm today for the first part of The Devil’s Whore! It gets repeated on Saturday at 9:00 pm. Enjoy!
SFX: First news on ‘Skellig’
17 November 2008, 06:45 pm
There’s a one-page article about Sky1’s Skellig in last month’s issue of SFX Magazine. The film’s producer is interviewed and there’s a brief mention of Mr Simm and his character, Dave—Michael’s father.
It’s no coincidence that the most familiar names in Skellig’s cast—Tim Roth, Kelly MacDonald and John Simm—all have a reputation for taking on edgy, difficult pieces. Simm, for example, plays the father of Michael, the boy who meets Skellig in a ramshackle shed at the same time as his sister is seriously ill.
“This is quite a heartfelt, emotional part,” says Hirschkorn [Nick, producer]. “The minute you put somebody into that position who’s got a slightly harder edge to them, there’s a lot of ambiguity to what he’s going to do next—you don’t necessarily know that everything’s going to resolve itself in a perfect way.”
‘Tu£sday’ on DVD
17 November 2008, 06:26 pm
The DVD for Tu£sday has now a provisional release date set for 23rd February. It won’t be definite until next year, but it shouldn’t be that far off if it indeed changes.
The DVD will feature extras such as cinema trailer, five character vignettes (used to promote the film—watch the one for Silver here), audio commentary track with director/writer Sacha Bennett and actor Cristian Solimeno (who played Butch), a gag reel and a making of which includes interviews with the cast. It will be distributed by Verve Pictures.
Thanks KJT for the heads-up and Sacha Bennett for the details!
