Anyways I am happy to report I did go to Budapest to film the commercial which as it turned out was for Schweppes (the Israel franchise). I was dressed as a Xena 'type' drinking Schweppes and waving my sword around at a cafe! It will be shown on Israel TV and also go to print in magazines as adverts. They said they would send on some of the photos and a copy of the ad so for all of you who are not in Israel I will post up what they send me as soon as I receive it.
Memorabilia is almost upon us again at the Birmingham NEC (this weekend) 27th/28th March so hope I will see some of you there.
I was also filming on the new Disney film John Carter of Mars again Tuesday just gone which was a lot of fun. Again like last time they had the rain machine and boy was it wet! We were all sodden by the end of the day and glad to get the costumes off, especially the boots. We were filming a scene replicating Victorian Boston and the actor playing John Carter (Taylor Kitsch) was on set too. Whilst walking back to have lunch I was walking behind the famous director John Landis (American Werewolf in London) which was very cool.
Well I hope there are no more spam comments and will report on Mem next week!

( 3.1 / 85 )Well since I last posted I have done 2 days on BBC's Doctors for 2 different episodes. The first one saw me wearing my red wig as they needed a red head for a flashback scene, the other saw me dressed as a Lara Croft type. The second days filming was set at a 'Super Hero' convention, well all I can say is I have never seen any type of convention that looked like that. It was so obvious whoever set the scene had never been to a sci-fi/comic convention ever! It was pretty poor but I guess it's also down to budget! Not sure when it is aired but it normally is about 3 months turn around.
I'm hoping I am off to Budapest in the next day or so filming a commercial as Xena! I will post here when I know more, hopefully in the next few days.
I went for my Harry Potter costume fit the other day as I'm being a typist at the Ministry of Magic in the last film of the series. Really looking forward to the filming which is in April
I have another 3 days on John Carter of Mars next week which should be fun so its all go which is great!
The filming on the Alien fan film was a lot of fun and I will follow it's progress and keep you updated, in the meantime there is a trailer that was filmed a while ago you can watch on Youtube Alien Epilogue Trailer
Ok I will post again in a few days to let you know if I have been to Budapest,
Later

( 2.9 / 109 )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!

( 3 / 95 )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!
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

( 3 / 102 )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!!
