As I’ve said before, the movie business is very unpredictable and slow-moving (though I hope to have an AMAZING announcement within a month), so I’m making sure my personal ideas see the light of day, which is why I’ve commissioned great artists and great people to help make it so.

As Simon and Edgar mention in this interview, most press junkets happen in some non-descript hotel conference room. The New York leg of the Hot Fuzz tour (which would take the three geniuses behind Shaun of the Dead to a bunch of American cities where they’d show their new movie and do consistently entertaining Q&As) … Continue reading
I hail from the Michael O’Donoghue school of comedy, which holds nothing sacred – the more verboten the subject, the riper it is for relentless ridicule. This has gotten me into a little trouble here and there. Years ago, while flirting with stand-up comedy in New York City, I attempted a hastily invented bit about … Continue reading
