Killers, Queens, Brides and hopefully less about Pies...

Let's get the pie stuff out of the way first, because people keep asking. Yes, the pies turned up in the end, (6pm!!!), and yes, they were fantastic and worth the wait. I find it slightly disconcerting that more people have asked me about the fucking pies than anything in any other blog entry.

Onto the slightly more relevant stuff. KillerKiller is finally hitting the starting blocks, and we're aiming for a shooting start date in mid-May. Still got some decisions to make, but as soon as anything gets signed I'll blabber on about it here. Don't mind admitting that we're still puzzling over that main female role, since it would seem ideally suited to an established scream queen but they're a bit of an endangered species in the UK. Heartbreaking, really... Where did all the scream queens go? Where's this generation's Ingrid Pitt? It's a simple wishlist really... Startlingly beautiful, excellent actress, unafraid of partial nudity or vast quantities of fake blood. Only about three names readily pop to mind, and for one reason or another none of them have happened as yet. Our search continues.

The more astute of you will have noticed that I've given a rough shooting schedule for KillerKiller yet absolutely nothing as yet for HellBride. There's a simple reason for this; we're still having script problems, and I don't know if it's going to be ready to go in time to do the back-to-back thing. I suspect, in my heart of hearts, it's going to end up getting delayed for a while. Be nice if it didn't, but that's life sometimes...
