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
