I have been without a computer for about a week now so I was unable to update anything (evil things!), it seems there was no major news while I was ‘away’ so I don’t have much catching up to do except some other updates I’ll get to this week. Anyways The first still for Fifty Dead Men Walking was found, by Paula so I’ve added that to the gallery.
I’d also like to mention if you have not seen it, the fellow Jim Sturgess fansite, JimSturgess.org recently got confirmation Jim received their birthday gift (a scrapbook), so be sure to check out his very sweet reply and picture he sent. It was incredibly kind so congrats to all of them I know they must be ecstatic!
Jim gave an interview to Empire Online the day of the Heartless photocall. You can stream it here. He and Clémence Poésy talk all about Heartless in it, Jim mentions the Spider-Man musical once again as well. I’ve made captures for the gallery.
Also, as reported earlier, I told you Fifty Dead Men Walking was being marketed at Cannes and the other day we have learned the film has gotten a distribution deal with company Handmade. The agreements states it will have major theatrical distributors throughout the world so hopefully this means the film will not only premiere in the UK later this year but other countries as well. The financial details of the deal were not disclosed.
Fifty Dead Men Walking is being marketted at this week’s Cannes Film Festival in France. The Guardian has published an article regarding the film, while there isn’t anything directly Jim related here are some excerpts regarding production status and what not:
“The film company have told me this is only loosely based on my life but it’s my life all the same. I was shot here in England by the IRA for what I did to the Belfast Brigade. My mother’s house was attacked, my brother left for dead after a beating long after I was gone from Belfast and in hiding. They should have represented my story more accurately and fairly.” - Real life Martin McGartland
A spokesman for Future Films Limited, the company that co-financed Fifty Dead Men Walking, stressed that the movie was still in post-production and said McGartland had not seen it, so was not placed to make a final judgement.
Big thanks to Steve for the heads up! I have also added one on set image of Jim filming in beautiful Ireland.
And be sure check out a very old and rare picture of Jim on the set of 2002’s TV movie The Quest. Thanks goes out to Johnny for both pictures!
