Just to say I've discovered that Orlando Bloom's recently announced TV series won't begin shooting until this time next year, so Darius's film with him should be OK

That is good.

Hi Darius fans,

welcome to the Retro Lounge :cheer:

 

 

You read my mind. I was going to ask if we could bring that picture over.

 

Can you edit the topic to make clear it's a thread about Darius please, or can that only be done by prettyinpink who started it?

Filming can't have started yet. The director Mike Figgis is in Italy.

 

I bought a DVD of Imperium yesterday.

 

I think it was a really contemporary story which needed to be told to raise awareness that extremists can often appear to be the exact opposite.

 

I found the everyday mundane scenes extremely chilling, especially after the horrors of Charlottesville and the arrest this week of 3 British soldiers who are allegedly members of the banned neo nazi group, one of whose members murdered Jo Cox, the late MP.

I was going to ask if anyone had watched it.

I think Darius's instincts to back it and put personal effort into it were right on the button.

 

I hope the same can be said for the 3 upcoming films.

Do you know what they are?

Not yet. Still keeping a look out though.

 

Megham seemed to think that Reconstructing Jack was one of the 3.

A couple of months ago there was a film called 'Ten' under 'Projects under Development' on D's IMDB page but it disappeared from the page before he finished 'Funny Girl' - I assume that is because everything has had to be put back! There is no film of that name on Orlando Bloom's page nor Mike Figgis's but if you type in 'Ten' the film has it's own page 'Under Development' to be released in 2018. I'm not a member of IMDB Pro, so can't read the details.

No indication of what kind of film it is or director attached?

 

I'd certainly hate to have the workload that Darius must have now with all the rescheduling. Good job he relishes a challenge or two.

I thought Darius was directing a film with Orlando Bloom? When is he due to start film production plus is he going to leave Funny Girl when that time comes?

The Funny Girl Tour finished at Manchester.

 

He should be in LA now.

So that's the end of Funny Girl performances with that cast then for a long time? Natasha and Sheridan and all the other actors in it will have to do other things now too then!

All I can read is that it is an 'Action' film. As it is 'In Development' and is likely to change you have to register with IMdbPro to find out more details.

The lead single from Natasha's debut album was released today - it is called 'Supermodel' and is very catchy - she has a very powerful voice. Sheridan has an album coming out soon. It's just a shame that the same can't be said for their leading man!!! :rolleyes: Natasha has already got a part in another musical - can't think what it is atm :unsure:

That''s just how it is. The whole cast other than Sheridan, Natasha and Darius changed between the West End run at the Savoy and the UK tour.

 

It's extremely rare for tours to go out with both their West End leads.

 

The West End cast feature on the CD. The Tour cast will be on the Sky Arts film, which will most probably be released later on DVD /Bluray..

 

I think after 2 years both Sheridan and Darius will be planning other projects, unless of course Sheridan gets a chance to take it to Broadway.

Not directing. Mike Figgis is the director. Darius is a producer.

 

Darius said it was due to start filming in September.

 

Orlando Bloom was in LA a couple of days ago. He was papped with Katy Perry and on Labor day with his son at the carnival
