When Ukraine destroys Russian data centers, hoards of aggressive right-wing bots disappear & the internet becomes friendlier. So much of politics is driven by the internet & so much of the internet is driven by Russians who want to hurt us. Shouldn’t we do something about that, given that we know it

Remember when FP was on New Oxford St, with the giant Enterprise D hanging? Felt like a real Aladdins Cave.

He wasn’t in the SoHo bubble but by hell everyone in it wished they were like him. We need more risk-takers like Jeremy Thomas and we need them yesterday. I didn’t realise how lucky I was to be there so early in my life. But I’m so glad I was. Thank you good sir: rest easy. #filmsky #jeremythomas

Just take a look at Jeremy’s filmography as a producer. Incredible. Never going for projects that were fashionable or in vogue so he could get easy funding and a more likely return.

Hercules Belleville, David Cronenberg, Alexandra Stone, Jim Jarmusch, Nagisa Ōshima, David Mackenzie, and yes, then, Terry Gilliam. I met a few of them, even got to spend a day with Jonathan Demme. This isn’t name dropping. The point is those people wanted to work with him. Again and again.

as I grew as a director, and consumed more and more of the kind of films that nourished both the head and the soul, I realised how lucky I was to have landed there. Thanks to Jeremy, those offices on Hanway Street were always filled with the most incredible hearts and minds: Bernardo Bertolucci,

It was during The Dreamers. I didn’t know my arse from my elbow but it was my introduction to what a film production company could be. At the time, I thought it was normal, what the rest of the soho bubble consisted of. But

I started Oxford, but never finished- I left early on. I wanted to make movies. A big gamble for a working class brown boy. Through sheer dumb luck -and certainly not through foresight and planning- I soon ended up a runner at Jeremy Thomas’ Record Picture Company.

He should be forced to write a linear story, and have to shoot on regular 35mm so the camera can truly move when it needs to, so actors can really work with their scene partners and more. So much soul is lost. There’s a reason why Spielberg has never touched an IMAX camera and thank god he hasn’t.

Sort of like tourists having a roast dinner at Wetherspoons and thinking that was a proper roast. To me, Denis Villanueve is the director everyone hypes Nolan to be. It’s not sour grapes, I’d love to have his career, but honestly: I never truly care about his characters. Especially this time.

Jon Reid-Edwards @jonreidedwards.bsky.social · 30/07/2026
Same as always with Nolan, the more writing he does the less it all hangs together if at all. Storytelling is rhythm and it was lacking so much that is when the editing reflected it. That said I’m thrilled that people are flocking to the cinema at all it’s just… we could have it so much better.

Can’t wait. What a cast, and that production design looks superb- its own thing and not trying to ape Bladerunner.

Wonder if Warner will do the singles in Europe as they have done recently with Barry Lyndon and Eyes Wide Shut? Also would kill for the European cut of The Shining either Criterion or Warner in Europe 🙏🏽

Lucky enough to catch them at a tiny fan club only show at the London Astoria before Avocado was released (20th April 2026) Which would make such a great Vault release! Still one of the best I’ve been to. Mike did a Zeppelin riff on Inside Job as I think members of Zep were there.

You’ll be able to next catch Grilled Cheese on May 3rd at both the Wolverhampton Film Festival in the UK, and the May the 4th Sci-Fi Film Festival in Ireland. Both festivals have nominated our mighty cast and crew for their efforts too! So proud. #shortfilm #scifi #drama #indiefilm #britishfilm

Worth a small dunk into your bank account folks. Black House Pictures is the perfect small film company and deserves a bit crowd fund support.
