( 2.9 / 275 )Just a quick note to let you know whats been happening since I posted last.
I did a days filming on the TV series Hustle, just background and nothing to write home about but hey it's work! You may see me walk past a shot or too if your lucky! On a more exciting note, I have been confirmed for a days work on the new Clint Eastwood film! He is my movie idol and I am so excited to be on the same set as him, it's called Hereafter and it stars Matt Damon. I will be filming on the 9th November so I will let you know how it goes.
Shadower the movie is coming along well and will be complete early next year, the official website is almost ready as are the My Sapce and Facebook sites too. I will let you know in the next few days when it all goes officially live, please if you are on these sites become a friend and support the film, spread the word.
Later
Jo

( 2.9 / 242 )Well here we are again 3rd time around, Movie Mania 3. I remember the first one where I played an Alien in the Alien Encounter for the whole weekend! I missed the second one due to work but thankfully I was free for this one. The event had star signings by Dave Prowse (Darth Vader) Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett), Jerome Blake (several Star Wars characters) Warwick Davis (Wicket plus several other characters) and Trevor Steedman (Pvt. Wierzbowski) from the film Aliens.
The UKG as ever was out in force supported by the UKCM (Alien Legacy guys) and the Replica Prop Boards with an amazing display of real and re-production props and costumes.
The welcome return of the Alien Encounter went down well and was busy all day long scaring the heck out of all who dared to enter. I started the day as Dark Phoenix with Seans Wolverine, after lunch we changed and both took part in the Alien Encounter.
As ever it was a great experience and made all the better by all those taking part in it. It was great to wear the Alien costume again in the best surroundings that there can be. This time around at one point there was 5 aliens! After the last public tour of the day 3 of us in our alien costumes went outside escorted by some of the colonial marines. We joined other characters outside and were mobbed by the crowds! People cautiously edged towards us to have their photo taken with us. There was also a very special treat for the UKG as well as the public, something which has never happened before and a first not just for the Garrison but a first anywhere. The actor Jeremey Bulloch who played Boba Fett in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi had secretly slipped away for a surprise. Members of the bounty hunter forum "The Dented Helmet" had pooled together and made Jeremey his own Boba Fett costume. In the changing room a surprise presentation was announced that required everyones attention, as Teri the UKG CO handed over to "Mark" who was dressed as Fett, he removed his helmet to reveal Jeremey in the Fett costume! Well you can see the reaction here "Jeremey's Reveal" He then spent the next hour or so trooping as Boba Fett! What a top bloke, he is so lovely!
Another reason why I enjoyed this troop was my good friend Big Tony, I helped him get his costume together so he could get involved with the UKG. This was his first troop and he was dressed as Indiana Jone's dad from the third Indy film The Last Crusade. He went down a storm with the UKG and the public and even made the Leicester Mercury website! Check him out Indy's Dad 4th image on the page.
Well a big thanks goes to all who made this event happen and here's hoping we will do it all again next year. As ever thanks to Sean for trooping with me and making a crackin tag team!
Thanks to Mike Watters for the Alien photo and Samantha Jones of the Jeremy Photo's.

( 2.9 / 238 )The Help for Heroes day held at Hindlip Hall, near Worcester, had parachute display teams, helicopters and bomb disposal teams entertaining thousands of people who attended, along with a number of special guests, including some brave soldiers who were themselves injured in action.
Organisers believe they have doubled the number of visitors they had at last year’s event, with an estimated 12,000 people turning up, helping to raise about £40,000 over the day for the charity.
Also on display were emergency service vehicles, tanks, helicopters and an amazing fly over by a Spitfire. The UKG were there in support for this very worthy cause, with Darth Vader, Stormtroopers, Vaders Aprentice, Batman and Sean and myself as Jack Sparrow and Elizabeth Swann. The UKG members themselves raised over £650 with their collection tins aided by the cadets who followed us around.
We had a brilliant time at this event, were well looked after by the organisers and was humbled meeting the injured servicemen. Speaking to the soldiers it brings it home what these lads go through over there in Iraq and Afganistan and they should be supported by us all. It was a pleasure to support this event!

( 2.6 / 171 )Every year The Great River Boat Race is held on the Thames over a 22 mile course starting at Ham in Richmond and ending at the Isle of
s. This year they changed the direction of the race making Ham the finish and the Isle of s the start. The UKG had been invited along through Medicinema to add a bit more character! At the start of the race Darth Vader and several Stormtroopers over looked the proceedings and saw the racers off at the start.
At the finish line some cannons were laid on to greet the rowers as they crossed the line. Sean and myself were there as Jack and Elizabeth letting off the cannons throughout the afternoon. 2 lovely chaps who were in charge of the cannons looked after us and re-loaded the cannons. Sean and I arrived at the finish ahead of time, kitted and ready for the first boats. The rest of the Garrison guys were to meet us there once they had been at the start of the race. Due to very heavy traffic it took them over an hour and a half to arrive and kitted up quickly to catch the rest of the show! The crowds where entertained with live bands and live coverage on a large outdoor screen, beer tent and stalls. The UKG were very well received and were kept busy with photos opportunities. Sean and I had a great time firing the cannons, listening to the salsa bands and basking in the sun. A very enjoyable troop in a lovely setting.
