Winslow Leach Forever
Yesterday I was moving house and found a scrap of paper that someone had handed to me in December at the New Beverly. I had believed it had been lost, but instead it had been in a jacket along with a bunch of receipts since before Christmas. I was glad I found it. On it was William Finley's e-mail, the great character actor and the star of one of my favourite movies, Brian De Palma's 'Phantom Of The Paradise'. An audience member gave it to me at one of my Wright Stuff shows and said he was a family friend of the ...
Brandon Generator is Alive!

You can submit prose, sketches, ideas and voicemails that we will incorporate in the second, third and fourth instalments. Watch it right now. I look forward to collaborating with you. Edgar Wright, Tommy Lee ...
#BrandonGenerator
So here's an interesting thing. A online comic of sorts, written by me, illustrated by the very talented Tommy Lee Edwards, narrated by the one and only Julian Barratt and featuring a new and hypnotic score by the amazing David Holmes. So, is it a comic? An animation? A little movie? Yes, to all three. What's it going to be like? Well that, is rather up to you...

Twickenham Film Studios RIP?
I was saddened to hear in the news that Twickenham Film Studios might be closing. The nearly 100 year old British studio is the home to such classics as 'Help', 'A Hard Days Night', 'Alfie', 'The Italian Job', 'Repulsion' and also my beloved desert island movie, 'An American Werewolf In London'. But not only that, it was the studio where we shot the very first series of 'Spaced'. So the original interior for 23 Meteor Street was shot in Twickenham in 1999. In fact the last scene of that series we shot there was the zombie dream sequence from episode 1.3 ...
