Tabrett Bethell's audition video

I'm sorry I haven't reported about this before but I have been trying to get permission to talk about it, didn't want to post anything too early, not going to make that mistake again. But it's out of the bag now, so here you go.

I'm not sure what the story behind this video is but it looks like an audition for the next James Bond film, which is called Bond 23 for now. Not much is known about the film itself and we don't know everything about the casting either, but since the video was posted several months ago I guess Tabrett didn't get the role. I'm keeping my fingers crossed though until they'll announce something.

On the other hand, it could be what is called a "speculative audition" or showreel, agents and actors do this to get the actor out there.

And to clear things up, no, it was not an audition for Casino Royale. That film was released in 2006, before Tabrett started acting, and the video was uploaded earlier this year, in April. Yes, she is saying the lines from that film but it's not uncommon for productions which are secretive to use material from previous films. We don't know anything about Bond 23's story or who the female lead character will be or who will play her. Makes sense to test an actress with an earlier, strong character. Maybe they chose Vesper because the new one will be related or similar to her (but this is just my speculation, and I read some comments from Bond fans who'd love to see Vesper's sister).

She was still a cheerleader when this was recorded. Read about Life Support here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0294136/

Sanctuary - important new information!

The film's producer, Annmaree Bell revealed more details, thank you very much for sharing them with us!

Sanctuary is 15 minutes long and it was inspired by Ophelia from Hamlet. The trailer will most likely be released in September or October. First it will be entered to film festivals and we'll have to do our best to let many people know about it because it's future could depend on it. Assuming everything goes well, talks can begin with DVD destributors around this time next year.
The poster with the crack in the wall (of sanity) is the final version, but we'll get additional photos over time.



We'll have to be patient, and also ready to help Azure to be successful at film festivals later this year.

The Clinic - an interview with the producer, the film will be released in the UK & Italy too!

Samuel Pinczewski was kind enough to answer some of my questions, and he'll share a bit more later. If you'd like to ask something too, send me your questions! Post them as comments or send me a tweet.

Read about the film, Sam and the writer/director James Rabbitts, and their new project after the jump!

Send in your questions for Campbell Graham, the director of Anyone You Want!

I just got Campbell's response and was very glad to see he agreed to an interview too, can't wait to ask him about a couple of things!

I've got a lot of questions already, but like the title says, you can send in some of yours too! I guess most of you will want to ask about the film and Tabrett, but keep in mind that he probably won't be able to answer everything, not wanting to spoil much from the story, and as we all know, Tabrett is a private person, so not sure how much he can talk about her. And of course questions about Campbell and his work and so on are appreciated too. You can leave comments here, or contact me on twitter.

I think a few days should be enough, let's say that the deadline is June 10.

He also had a short update about Anyone You Want's status:
"I am still taking steps to bring out the film on dvd or download and am doing quite a lot of work on this currently. It's an expensive and complex process but you won't have to wait forever! I'll let you all know when something is concrete."
