Dwarf in the Media

[Daff]

Here’s a few Dwarf related things I’ve found in the last few days.

Chris Barrie Interview in the Metro (main story in Metro Life this Morning) Nothing new, but we did get the “BBC is not interested in this type of Audience” quote.

A small technical article on post production.

And a very nice article on The Times website, with a nice bit about the so called duke, and the financing of the movie.

Nothing much new revealed plotwise though.

Although I followed the link and read the Chris Barrie piece, I couldn’t find it anywhere in my e-Metro. Is it in the actual paper? What page?

The Times Article was written by Bruce Dessau, who I think did the Red Dwarf Companion Guide (?).

?I talked to someone from Microsoft recently who said that one of the first TV-based user groups was Red Dwarf.

That’s a nice little factoid.

contains more than 240 visual effects shots.

Coolness. The Phantom Menace only had 700 or so (though Episodes 2 & 3 had more like 2,000 each, I think…please someone correct me because I know that’s wrong)

It was definitely in the paper version this morning, just before the middle, first page of Metro Life IIRC. It was 2 pages as well (well 1 page worth but split over the middle)

Looks like it’s not in the e-version, might be because I don’t read the London version. I think the article was where the clubbing bit is in the e-version. That actually explains why I couldn’t find it on the website first thing this morning, whereas most of the other articles where available.

More stuff. We’ve already got Carbug, Is there going to be a StarBus as well? Julian Ryder is playing a bus driver. And what is with Kryten’s outfit?

While perusing the Sci-fi London site I stumbled upon this interview with Craig

Nothing new here, but nice to see word getting around.

>And what is with Kryten?s outfit?

LOL! Loving Kryten’s disguise!

Incidentally, when I was at uni, we made a short film which was shown at Sci-fi London, one of only two occasions I’ve been to the capital. We didn’t win a big prize, though I blag a DVD of a dodgy Japanese monster movie.
