Just been ranting about it in the newsletter but Game is glorious bit of British cinema. Nasty, unpredictable, properly bonkers. One of a kind.

Really enjoying writing at the moment. Couple of irons in the fire, but won’t count my chickens just yet.
TV Presenters and singers saying truth’s our elected politicians over here dare not. Little wonder they’re happy for the arts to die on the vine. Never has it been more important for artists of all kinds to make a noise.
Fittingly, on Shakespeare’s birthday, I just watched ‘The Last of Us’ season 2, episode 2, “Through the Valley.” — !😲! — I will have such revenges on you both, That all the world shall—I will do such things,— What they are, yet I know not: but they shall be. The terrors of the earth. ~King Lear
Saw some footage yesterday using the James Cameron Stability Ai software, generated from single frame & prompts - blimey it was quite something. As he himself says, it will ‘cut the cost of filmmaking in half’ but I don’t agree it won’t mean ‘without laying off half the staff’. Shifting sands ahead.
RIP Ted Kotcheff. Director of so many great films, who gracefully glided through genres and always entertained. What a range!
Chat with someone this morning about Ai in film, specifically tech in dev by a company a couple of years ago, set to flip everything; it’s nightmare fuel for creatives, Starmer best read the small print. I hope the good will always out, & nothing beats reel/real life experiences, guess we’ll see… 🤞
Just reading #warpfilms are developing series adaptation of nuclear nightmare film ‘Threads’. Should be good, their stuff usually is. The film terrified me as a kid. Wonder if it’s cast yet? Ahem.

So we’ve been working on this film a long time and today it was time to tell as many people as we could about it.
GAME on! deadline.com/2025/03/port...

Memory flashed up from 7 years ago. FREE FIRE soundtrack 8-track promo for invada records. Some fine music on that OST. I didn’t inhale.
Monday. Here we go again. Bit tired after a good weekend of friends, food and films. Onwards!
