Exciting news for 'Gnomes'! This was such a pleasure to script consult on for Screen Invaders/2Jons & can't wait to see those scripts brought to life by Matthias Hoene, Joel Kohn & Sian Davies.

Like competing Cinderella, Snow White and Pinocchio projects before… there are two “young Stalin” projects at Cannes this year — he obviously just entered the public domain.

The past 4 months I've been producing a short: an ambitious period film that transforms into a cosmic horror, about the things we put our faith into. I'm excited to see Director Luke David Sims' vision come to life & we've launched a crowdfunder. #filmskyuk #scriptskyuk greenlit.com/project/each...

Now Watching: Napoleon: Apple Cut Unsurprisingly, restoring a large number of the interpersonal scenes between Napoleon & Josephine render this a much more coherent and compelling film. The hinted at themes (impotence) of the theatrical cut become text here and it's so much more interesting for it.

A poster for Ridley Scott's Napoleon "The Director's Cut". It shows a picture of Joaquin Phoenix as Napoleon, dressed in his customary bicorn hat, jacket unbuttoned and jauntily slouched over a chair, a scowl on his face.

Had a good old day location scouting in Dartmoor for the period/horror short I'm producing. Very brooding landscapes.
