I got this script "wot i wrote" (acknowledgement the late Ernie Wise), and i suppose i should do something with it, other than swat flies at the dinner table.
The thing about media in this country, is that, there is no media in this country, not really, i mean when you look at what we used to watch 20 / 30 years ago, then compare it to the brain-dead trash that's on our screens today, the only way i could describe British media is by quoting Edward Montesque Garlick from Good Morning Vietnam, when reading a letter of complaint about Lt. Steve....... "British media sucks the sweat from a dead man's balls... i have absolutely no idea what that means sir, but it sounds very negative!".
So anyway, i need some actors, who aren't really actors, because they've never really acted before, so i guess i need budding actors, people who want to act.
Sound bad? shouldn't do, as Ray Winstone was a boxer before he got the lead in SCUM, and who was Tim Roth before he got the lead in MADE IN BRITAIN? (Though he really kicks arse in LIE TO ME... you ever seen that show? it's mad).
But yeah, i need to find some like minded wannabe actors, and i only have two requirements;
1: They need to be men.
2: They need to be in their 40's / 50's.
ALTHOUGH, IN SAYING THAT....... i will also need some actors in their 20's / 30's, but the main cast are 40's / 50's ok.
In a nutshell... is a nut. At the end of the day... it get's dark.
Hang on... ok, bottom line here, is that i need several "geezers" for a "bloke movie" (not gay!), but it's more along the lines of meeting up on spare days / days off, to do a bit of talking in front of a camera, instead of getting drunk down the pub or just sitting at home wan.... ooh, almost said that out loud!
So yeah... if you're having a mid life crisis or even a mad life crisis and you fancy a bit of a change, all you need to do, is talk a bunch of crap into a camera, then post it on youtube, and send me the link.
Talk about absolutely anything you want... but be YOU.
I don't need any impersonators ok. talk about this one time, when you and a mate did something and it was mad. talk about the idiot at work that really winds you up, and what you'd like to do to him if the boss weren't around. talk about your wedding day, or your stag do, or this bird you once saw and she was proper etc etc etc.
I haven't got a clue who i'm looking for... but i know exactly what i want, and it has to be natural, it has to be YOU, cos if you've never acted before, and you've got to get into character and then remember your lines... that's when a five minute shoot turns into a five hour shoot and does nothing but jarr people.
Is anyone still reading this?????????
