Kit Ryan directing the film "13" at Ardmore

Hi Folks,
Well here I am still trucking around London. I just got a call from my pal Kit Ryan who is directing the feature film "3" in London. It is a really scary picture - I had to cover my eyes with my paws watching some of the rushes tonight. For those of you don't know what rushes are - they are the footage of the scenes shot on the set today. Fast as fox out of a hole, the production company has the daily rushes on the internet now - so I can watch them lounging by the fire in the London penthouse. They look great, and the set lighting done by Bryan Lofftus is so moody and excellent for a gory horror film. The film's female star , Jaime Murray, the beautiful lady in the Hustler TV series, she is seriously lovely.
Word from the set of "Body Armor", directed by my buddy Gerry Lively, is that things are going well. With a title like that you can expect lots of firefights and exploding cars. And strangely enough I have another good friend, the lovely Jo Gilbert, currently producing a film in Belfast called "Closing the Ring", directed by Richard Attenborough.
All three of my dear friends had their first day of Principal Photography this past Monday. What sort of coincidence is that? What are tea odds that three of your friends would start filming a feature film on the same day in March.
Must dash, the phone is ringing and it is bound to be a call from Warner Bros. They always call me about 11:PM London time which is around 3:PM in LA.
cheerio for now Monty

Monty Tells All

Hello from London,
Freedom at last. This penthouse apartment where I am staying sometimes is just too warm for me. So it was with relief I went out walking in Bushy Park today while my best friend, Keogh, languishes in storage in Clonlara, a small village near Limerick, City Ireland - here I must interrupt myself to mention that the weather this side of the Thames
( a large river for those who have never studied geography) was favorable for a walk, and no I have not yet spotted a March Hare in this part of the world but if I did I would probably give it a little run for it's money - when the wonderful thought came to me Spring is really the best time to visit this green and pleasant land. I would start reciting "Oh to be in England now that Aprils here" except I don't know any more lines from this poem.
If you follow my blog ramblings I can give you some good gossip on all sorts of people and their comings and goings and doings. Although I might be considerably shorter than everyone in our family pack, and almost everyone else as well, my lack of height allows me to keep my ears closer to the ground. And, I am not shy with my opinions. I don't hesitate in name dropping, and I can mention the film director Gerry Lively, who is currently directing the film Body Armour, on location in Barcelona. I know Gerry well, haven't been out to visit his film set yet, but I can say that he has patted me several times in passing.
I have very recently visited the film set of the black comedy horror film "13", which is being shot at Ardmore Studios, Bray, Ireland. Me and Keogh went along last week and met up with the film director Kit Ryan. Kit was with the female star of the film "13", Jaime Murray, that beautiful gal from the TV series Hustle. She is one lovely, elegant lady. Even Keogh held back and was respectful, and usually he just runs up and plants a big wet one on any passing female that he takes a fancy to.
So I have lots to tell if you are interested in finding out some real close to the ground gossip.
My paws are all thumbs on the keyboard tonight, so I'll sign off for now.
too-da-loo and cheerio. Monty
