Meat, Indy and Stan.

June 26th, 2008

Hi all,

First up, it’s been brought to my attention that Clive Barker’s movie The Midnight Meat Train may now only get a limited release in cinemas, which would be a huge shame. I’ve been a fan of Clive’s stuff for some years, as many of you no doubt know, and The Books of Blood were some of the first horror stories I ever read. It would be sad to only be able to see an adaptation of this story on DVD. For more info about this situation, you can visit his official website here

We finally got around to seeing Indiana Jones… last weekend, which shows the real benefit of watching movies on the big screen. The plot was good, the action not bad, but it did have its problems - the watering down of Marion for starters, plus the Stargate SG1 ending. Harrison Ford looked in good nick for his age, though he appeared to get thinner at certain points in the movie (probably due to filming out of sequence). All in all I think they should have left it at Crusade, which quite literally saw the characters ride off into the sunset. The perfect end to the series.

I must also mention the passing of genius Stan Winston, which really upset me when I heard about it. As far as I’m concerned the man was a legend, as well as a personal hero of mine. I almost got the opportunity to interview him when his book The Stan Winston Effect came out, but he was called back home unexpectedly. I really wish I’d had the chance to chat to him then, and now I never will. Rest in peace, Stan.

Will post again soon,

Paul.

I Am Iron Man.

May 27th, 2008

Hi all,

It’s been one of those blink-and-you’ll miss it Mays, and I was finally persuaded to take some time off this Bank Holiday by Marie - I’m very glad I did. Three days with no work has done me the world of good and we also managed to take the kids to see Iron Man, at last. Have to say I was completely blown away by it. Robert Downey Jr was perfectly cast as the alcoholic arms dealer Tony Stark who ‘gets religion’ when he’s blown up by his own weapons out in Afghanistan. Downey’s one of those actors who makes scripted lines look like off the cuff remarks, and he was given great support by both Gwyneth Paltrow (as his long suffering assistant Pepper Potts) and Jeff Bridges (as Mentor Obi Stane). Fantastic effects round off what has to be the movie of the year so far (yes, I know, there’s still Indy to come, as well as Batman, Hellboy etc) and I can’t be the only one who wants that suit, surely? What made the whole thing even more enjoyable, though, was getting to spend time out together as a family.

One of the reasons why it’s been such a mad month is that we’re moving to a bigger place soon and have all the paperwork, packing, general mayhem to deal with that accompanies it. It’s only the second time I’ve moved, and I’m really going to miss the place we’re in now (if houses do ‘record’ memories then we’ll be leaving some happy ones behind) but at the same time we’re looking forward to having more space.

There’ll be an update of the SW site coming very soon, with some major news I’ve been dying to announce since I signed the contracts way back in October last year, so keep checking in. I’ll try and write again in the not too distant but in the meantime I’ll be at the BFS Open Night in London in a week and a half. Hopefully I’ll see some of you there in person for a catch up.

Till next time,
Paul.

Alt.Fiction, Arrows, and Babylon.

April 29th, 2008

Hi again,

Just thought I’d pop on and leave a post as it’s been a few weeks again - where does all the time go? I asked myself that last Saturday as we headed off to Derby’s Alt.Fiction event again; could it really be a year since the last one? Marie and I have been attending since it began three years ago and what’s really nice about it is catching up with friends you might only see two or three times a year. Some great panels as well, including one on scritpwriting which involved Graham Joyce telling his infamous Tooth Fairy tale again. The highlight had to be the curry at Masala Art with Simon Clark, Mike Carey and Philip Palmer - good company, good food and good conversation, you really can’t beat it. Well done to Alex Davis and the gang for pulling off another winner.

I just about managed to get my novel Arrowhead off to Jon at Abaddon before we left for Derby and I’m once again experiencing those strange conflicting feelings you get when handing in a big project. It’s a weird mixture of excitement (because you know it won’t be long before you see the book out), relief (that those months of work are over) and sadness (like you’re saying goodbye to an old friend). This one’s a bit different as it’s my first mass market paperback, but it’s the same with any long-term piece you’ve spent a lot of time on. Ah well, time to turn my attentions now to the handful of other things I’m also working on at the moment.

Marie and I have been watching the excellent series Babylon 5 from the start, having bought the DVD boxed set a couple of months ago. She’s never seen it before, but I watched the whole thing when it aired on Channel 4 about a decade or more ago (again, where did those years go?). And it’s amazing the debt the new Battlestar Galactica owes this series, from the look of the uniforms right down to the complex political, religious and military storylines. But what never struck me at the time was the connection to Lord of the Rings - though how that slipped under my radar is anyone’s guess. We’ve had lots of fun pointing to different races and going, “They’re the elves…they’re the dwarves…” Superb entertainment and a true classic of the genre.

Very much looking forward to the clutch of genre movies heading our way over the next few months, from Iron Man which is almost upon us, to Indy 4; from Hulk to X-Files, The Dark Knight and Hellboy II. It’s going to be a good year!

And I’ve just got time to tell you that an update of the SW site is due in a couple of days, in case you want to catch up on any of my other work stuff - like the Rob Zombie interview I’ve just done, or the Python articles I’m working on. Not to mention a sneaky peak at the cover artwork for Arrowhead.

Have a better one,

Paul.

Catch Up

April 1st, 2008

Hi all,

Apologies again for disappearing off the radar. As some of you might know from my site, I’ve been busy working on a novel for Abaddon as part of their Afterblight series of books (which began with Simon Spurrier’s excellent The Culled). I’ve taken my inspiration from a famous historical figure I’ve always had an affection for, Robin Hood - who fits in very nicely against a post-apocalyptic background. It’s about 100k in length and should be out a little later this year, mass market, so keep checking the site for more details. I was extremely jazzed to find out Mark Harrison is doing the cover as I’ve been a fan for many years, being the old 2000 AD nut that I am.

Of course, there’s been other stuff that’s kept me busy as well - including a couple of set visits to see the new Book of Blood movie being put together: one in Edinburgh back in January and one in London a couple of weeks ago, where we got to catch up with Clive himself during post production. It was lovely to see him again as it’s been too long since the last time - when he was GoH at FantasyCon 2006. He’s very excited about this one and it’s not hard to see why; with great acting from Jonas Armstrong (t’other Robin Hood) and Sophie Ward, plus direction from Dune’s John Harrison this is a film I’m definitely looking forward to. The most surreal experience I think had to be standing at the studio doors as the various zombies in make-up walked past (one which tickled all of us looked like a dead Mary Poppins). As Clive said himself, laughing, “How wonderfully bizarre!”

In moments off, which have been few and far between, I’ve celebrated another year on this planet back in Feb and my first wedding anniversary. Yes, this time last year Marie and I had just got back from honeymooning in Toronto at World Horror. It’s absolutely flown by :-)

I’ll try and make more of an effort to check in and offer my thoughts about various stuff. But until then, fare thee well chaps and chapesses.

Paul.

Exorcist III

November 22nd, 2007

Said I wouldn’t be away as long as last time, didn’t I? :-) Still incredibly busy, per as usual, but I took some time out the other night to watch a movie I hadn’t seen in years. Marie suggested it as it’s one of her favourites and I have to admit I’d forgotten just how good Exorcist III is. It’s a movie that tends to get overshadowed by the original (we won’t even go there on Exorcist II: The Heritic) and by the controversy about Dominion, and therefore is pretty undervalued as a horror film in its own right. Based on the bestselling novel Legion by William Peter Blatty, and ably directed by him as well (some of the visual set-ups are amazing), it also boasts cracking performances by George C. Scott and Brad Dourif - surely the king of cinema nutcases…or is that Nicholson?

But it has its fair share of creepy moments, too, like the old woman crawling over the ceiling, the ‘nurse’ attacking Kinderman’s daughter, or how about that scene in the hospital, constructed so that you can’t possibly guess when the murder is about to happen. I’d also forgotten what a satisfying ending it has. Definitely won’t be leaving it as long to watch it again next time…

Just time to tell you we’re getting ready here for the Christmas update at the SW site next week. We have a terrific Guest Writer lined up and news of another release, so miss it at your peril! Catch you on the other side.

Cheers,

Paul.

Back at Last

November 1st, 2007

Yes, I know, I went away again :-) But I thought seeing as the journal is now linked into my website, I’d make more of an effort to blog. So, what’s been happening to me since the last post? In a nutshell, lots of very cool stuff, but I can’t talk about the two coolest things just yet :-) More news about this as soon as I’m able to announce… However, as visitors to my site will see, most recently I found myself in Milton Keynes with Marie, enjoying what has to be the most surreal experience of my life. When you come out of the loos and Chekov from Star Trek is walking towards you, you have to pinch yourself just a little bit.

We both had a fantastic time at Collectormania and will definitely be going again. It was one of those ‘I can die happy now’ moments to meet George A. Romero, as well as Tom Atkins and Adrienne Barbeau. And it was so nice to catch up with Nick (Vince) and Simon (Bamford) again, plus meet Clare ‘Julia’ Higgins for the first time - who is just lovely. She had me in complete stitches with stories about making the original movie.

It was an exhausting three days, and I don’t think I’ve caught up on sleep yet, but totally worth it.

TTFN

Stardust

June 7th, 2007

Firstly, apologies for being away from the blog for so long. What can I say, I’ve been busy :-) I’ve been working on various projects, plus getting back into the genre journalism - for magazines like The Dark Side, DeathRay, The Hub, Scars, Red Scream and many others - and am really enjoying myself. Add to that the fact that I have two books due out fairly soon and you can see why I might have been otherwise engaged.

Anyway, just a short one to comment on Stardust, the film based on Neil Gaiman’s novel. Marie and I were over the moon to be invited to a private screening of it last Sunday at Paramount Pictures in Golden Square and it was absolutely fantastic. From the opening narration by Sir Ian McKellen to the fairytale ending which had everyone in the screening room applauding, the film didn’t miss a beat. It’s probably the best family, fantasy movie ever; quite high praise you might think, but just wait till you see it.

The cast - which includes Charlie Cox, Claire Danes (looking remarkably like Gwyneth Paltrow), Robert De Niro (you will be talking about his role for many years to come), Michelle Pfeiffer (her best part since Catwoman) and Ricky Gervais (in fine fettle as a fence) are outstanding. The sets and landscapes are awe-inspiring, and as for that ending: it’s one of the most original in cinema history.

Make no bones about it, you must see this movie. I’m doing a preview for Pantechnicon right now so look out for the link on my site next week.

Just realised, I never did gve my verdict on Torchwood did I? Probably just as well…

Till next time, don’t be a stranger,

Paul.

Da Vinci - the Verdict

October 25th, 2006

I promised and so here it is. I actually thought it wasn’t too bad at all. Okay, there are some bits that drag, and the scenes with Paul Bettany’s psycho monk did get a little silly, especially with that odd accent, but he was also quite disturbing as well. The scene where he whips himself was particularly uncomfortable to watch.

Tom, as usual, was great - although not up to his Spielbergian best - and Audrey Tautou managed to keep up. But the actor who stole the show was Ian McKellen. We actually watched this only a few days after sitting down to X-Men III and I did keep expecting him to throw cars around or levitate off his sticks, but, as with all the characters he portrays, he makes you believe he is that person. The man’s a genius, no two ways about it. As to whether I believe in the religious concepts or not, I’m keeping well and truly out of it, thank you very much…

Marie and I won’t be around a great deal over the next few days as we’re going to watch Chaz and co. do their Ghost Stories tomorrow and then at the weekend we’re at Chillerfest (part of London Expo). It’s a working weekend, but I have a feeling we’re going to have a great time as well.

See you on the other side, by which time I should have been able to catch up on Torchwood.

Horror Day

October 19th, 2006

Hi again, sorry this one is a bit late - it’s been another hectic week. The Horror Day workshop and reading on the 13th October seemed to go down well. Night of the Triffids author Simon Clark joined us for the day and did his ‘Write for Life’ talk - even though I’ve heard this a couple of times now, he manages to keep it fresh and new each time. Marie and I did our ‘Elements of Horror Fiction’ workshop after him and got the audience involved in some character and story creation - which always ends in someone suggesting a zombie or demonic baby for some reason!

In the night session at Chesterfield library’s lecture theatre (man, is that place big) our books were on sale and we talked a bit about what scares us as writers - Marie and I telling about the time we stayed in the haunted castle at Wales, with Simon talking about his TV series looking at various haunted locales. I read ‘Blackout’ from Touching the Flame, Marie read ‘Stay’ and ‘Samedi’s Child’, a couple of excellent chillers from her collection Mirror Mere, and Simon read from his novel The Tower. Can’t wait to do the next one…

I’ve been following The 4400 since the beginning, but it’s only with this new series on Sky at the moment that it’s really kicked into gear. Last night Jordan Collier returned from the dead, looking extremely Christ-like, to take on the ‘demon’ Isabelle (in the shape of Megalyn Echikunwoke). Despite being shot and killed a year or so ago, Jordan was looking remarkably fit, promising to unite humanity and the 4400 (who all have special abilities). This time-travel, conspiracy drama may have took its time getting there, but arrived it has - and now it’s hotting up for a battle of Carnivale-style proportions.

We gave in to temptation and bought The Da Vinci Code this afternoon and will probably be watching it tonight. I’ve heard mixing things about the movie, having missed out on it at the cinema earlier this year. Will let you know the K-Man’s verdict next time…

Adios.

FantasyCon

October 11th, 2006

Better late than never… my report on FCon written with Marie, which is why I’m sometimes mentioned in the third person :-)

“Where did all the time go? It hadn’t seemed like five minutes since we were in Walsall at the same time last year, and then FantasyCon 2006 was suddenly upon us – in a brand new city, Nottingham, and a new hotel with a rather nostalgic name (for those FConners who can remember the Birmingham do’s). For three days between 22nd and 24th September we took over that place, shifting it sideways in time and space until it was no longer recognisable to the general public; until it was ours for the duration – and quite frankly I don’t think the staff there will ever be the same again!

Nottingham was handy for us as it was only half an hour by train, and it was certainly more central for most of those travelling from all around the country or by the motorway – although having said that, the accident on the M1 meant that a number of attendees were stuck in traffic on the Friday night, including Pete Crowther of PS Publishing and author Tony Richards. We got to the hotel at about 11 a.m. on the Friday morning and I don’t think either of us has been looking forward to a con as much as this one in years. This was going to be a big weekend. Not only did we have great UK Guests - Ramsey Campbell and Juliet E. McKenna – we had three others joining us from the States: Raymond E. Feist, Neil Gaiman and none other than Clive Barker!

As soon as we got there and had checked in, we went up to the restaurant floor – even that seemed to be set aside from reality, with weird symbols appearing on the lift screen, akin to those in Lost when the button doesn’t get pushed. There we were greeted by Pat and Jenny Barber who had been there since the night before, busily putting things in place. There were boxes everywhere that needed unpacking, and eventually there were flyers, books, catalogues and bookmarks strewn over the tables ready to go in the goody bags – as well as our first glimpse of the FCon booklet which had original Clive Barker artwork on the front (and pretty damned gorgeous it looked too). We were expecting around 400 attendees, so were glad when other FCon committee members Debbie Bennett and Vicky Cook arrived, plus a larger than usual number of volunteers, including an enthusiastic Paul Campbell, all willing to stuff the goody bags on a sort of production line. Even with them it took about 3 hours of backbreaking work, so we were grateful for the sandwiches and chips provided – even if some of them came in double and triple decker proportions.

After freshening up, the first port of call was the bar area (of course). And already we saw how it had filled up in the afternoon. One of the first people we spotted was Neil – who we’d heard had arrived – and his god-daughter Hayley, so it was off to the bar with them for a chat and a drink before everything got too hectic. He told us about how nostalgic it was to be back here after almost twenty years, seeing some faces he recognised and others he didn’t – and in fact neither did we, as they were FCon virgins who’d booked for the first time this year. Neil then caught up with people like Ramsey and also a very nice lady called Wendy who’d once employed Neil as a freelance writer back in his journo days, when she was editor of Space Voyager magazine. In the dealers’ room the next day I found out that she still had a copy of Neil’s very first book, his biography of the band Duran, Duran – now a much sought after collector’s piece.

More chat and drink ensued, with people like Dave Price (ex- Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque editor), last year’s Guests of Honour Simon Clark and Mark Chadbourn, Martin Roberts and Helen Hopley (who were putting on another film show on the Saturday night), Jonathan Oliver of Abaddon Books and his wife Alison, and too many more to properly recall after a few drinks. In no time at all, it was the launch of the Con itself with MC David Howe mentioning the sad loss of genre greats like Charles L. Grant, David Gemmell, and Ken Bulmer. They will be missed. David also drew people’s attention to the two charity books on sale that weekend, his own Shrouded By Darkness in aid of DEBRA, and our very own BFS: A Celebration book, with profits split between the BFS and the Nqabakazulu project. There followed the famous Quiz, a UK vs US panel in which Ramsey and Juliet represented the former, Raymond the latter, and Neil took up the ground somewhere in-between, having been born over here but now living in the US (“When I was over here I wrote about the US, when I moved over there I wrote stories set in the UK…”). Ramsey’s interview came after that, with John L. Probert putting the questions to him, then a reading by both of them to take us past the witching hour.

Inevitably we all found ourselves back in the bar until the small hours, where the bar staff strangely called time at quarter to two (probably having run out of most of their stock – did they really think us writers just drink tea?). It didn’t stop us sitting up until nearly half three
