Just filmed my first day on the new Disney film John Carter of Mars. We were filming on the Bluebell Railway down in Sussex at a reconstructed Victorian station. They didn't tell us they were using a rain machine! We all got pretty wet but it was still fun to do. I have been penciled in for another 3 days at the film studio's in March so hopefully that will happen. Another cool thing was the boots I was wearing had been worn by the actress Uma Thurman in a previous production, couldn't say what film but they were great and I wanted to take them with me!
Also I have just done some filming for the TV programme 'The Culture Show' to be aired on Thursday 4th March on BBC2 so look out for me being a Hungarian woman of the 50's!
I will be off down to the south coast this Saturday to take part in an Aliens fan film, playing a lab tech and an alien! Sounds like a lot of fun and I shall let you know how it goes.

Still going to auditions and hoping!GRIN

Just a quick note to say things are ticking over and jobs are slowly coming in. I've just been booked for a weeks filming in April for the new Harry Potter film which is very cool! The John Carter filming is coming up in a couple of weeks time so looking forward to some filming again. A couple of other things are in the pipeline but I will mention them a bit later, nearer the time. Wolfman is now at the cinema's, not seen it yet but looking forward to see if I can see myself for a fleeting moment!GRIN
Good old Memorabilia at the NEC is also on the books for the end of March so already down for that. I have a really good feeling for this year so hopefully I will be posting up some great stuff in the coming months so hang with me and fingers crossed some good things will happen :)

Well January is well underway and things are slowly starting to happen.
The background filming for the film John Carter this month has been pushed back to next month (maybe do to with the weather) so I have my costume fit date in a few weeks time.

BBC's drama Survivors has now started with the first episode aired Tuesday just gone (13th Jan), I will be in the next episode, but thanks to some bloody live football match being aired, it has been pushed back to the 26th Jan. Really looking forward to seeing this so remember to watch in a couple of weeks.

Just recovered after having a nasty cold and outer ear infection which saw me curled up on the sofa for the last couple of weeks but thankfully the antibiotics have started to work and feeling much better than I was.

I will be arranging to meet up with the director I mentioned in my last post to discuss future filming projects very soon so I shall keep you informed of how that goes.

Shadower is now pretty much complete and will be available to buy in about a months time. It has been listed on IMDB, unfortunately it listed the wrong Jo Marriott in my role so just waiting for them to change that! Duh. Please check out the Shadower Website as there has been some updates to the site and a new interview with the director has been added which is very interesting. Shadower Website

Happy New Year and lets hope it's a goodun!!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your interest and support in my little endevours. I hope you will stick with me for another year, hopefully one filled with more opportunities and exciting projects.
2009 has been a year with some fun projects, for me some of the highlights were being a part of the new Robin Hood film as Friar Tucks wench and for the filming in Oklahoma of Shadower with Sean. I'm already booked to do some supporting artist work on a new Hollywood film called John Carter in January and a director from an audition I did has me pencilled in for his next project some time this year. As ever I will keep you up to date with the details as they come in.

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and have some great New Year celebrations and I will see you in 2010!

All the best

Sorry for the delay in the last couple of posts, been away from a computer for a while and it makes things difficult to update things properly.
Anyway a few things have happened over the last couple of months. Firstly I just did a days filming on Casualty, I had a walk on role at the start of a scene as a patient with an eye patch! You will see me receive my pain killers from one of the main actresses, I was told it will air sometime in February, I will keep an eye out (no pun intended!) for it and let you know.
Been going to several auditions , keep slogging away hoping someone will see sense and choose me for a role!
The filming on the new Clint Eastwood film was great, I was so close to him I could have touched him, wow! He was amazing and so professional, just wish I could have got a photo of him but we were not allowed at all to take photo's or approach him :( Anyway I was lucky to be there with him and that was just great! The scene was set at a Tube Station so you may see me walk past the shot! lol
Also appeared on the BBC programme The One Show as James Earl Jones (voice of Darth Vader) was the guest. About a dozen of us as Stormtroopers and Darth Vader went along as part of a UKG event, here is the edited footage The One Show Footage
A few weeks ago, for those who didn't see my post on my Facebook page, Sean and I took part in the world record attempt for the most people in costume doing the Timewarp from the Rocky Horror Show. Richard O'Brian was there as well as the cast from the stage production. I believe we broke the record with over 1500 people taking part. It was fun but mad too, check out some footage Time Warp Video watch your speakers because it's loud!

We went in PotC kit which was a laugh and had lots of photo's taken!
As you can see from the previous post Memorabilia has been and gone which was a lot of fun. So all in all a fair few things been going on!

Well I'm sure there will be more to post soon, but in the meantime take care and get those Christmas presents sorted!
