Happy Sunday! First off, I’ve been adding some sporadic stuff to the gallery - look around, you’ll never know what I replaced. Some curtain call photos from Journey’s End, Hugh attending Emily Mortimer’s wedding with McGregor, perhaps, some other odds things here and there. I think you’ll be very pleased. In addition, I also added some other stuff, too, which is in the last additions by now.

I’m also happy to say you can now pre-order Beyond the Gates (unrated) via Amazon! The DVD will be officially released on Region 1 September 18th, 2007. I only wish it could have had a better theatrical release, but at least now everyone in the USA will be able to see it.

There are also rumors that Hugh is back in Bronte. IMDb user “cstover” said he’s definitely and “officially in,” but as this isn’t a very official source, I’m waiting for the Variety announcement or from the horse’s mouth. If he is, however, it’ll start filming September 2007 and is now in pre-production. I’m happy this film is getting off the ground!

Angela Workman, the writer and director of Brontë, one of Hugh’s upcoming films, updated this blog and shared a tidbit on the casting of Hugh as “George Smith.”

The scenes set in London must play in rich contrast against everything back home. Hugh Dancy, who is so eager to play the role of the publisher George Smith, is the perfect embodiment of this youthful, brilliant, shining young man born to a higher class than the other young men in this story, and for whom Charlotte develops an enormous passion against every sensible instinct. I’ve cast Hugh as the ideal foil to both Branwell and Arthur.

Mind you, the filming hasn’t started, this is just her “vision.” Can’t wait to see how it progresses! I’m just glad it’s getting off the ground.

And slightly unrelated, I’m going to urge you not to upload your own pictures to the gallery. If you would like to see your art in the Fan Art section, drop an e-mail to me and include your work. Keep in mind that some knowledge of Photoshop/PSP is required.

I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable New Year. :]
