Many of you might have known Richard Jobson. He's in the Skid. He has an album and a poem of the same name. He's also a TV presenter and a film critic and a producer. Kevin will play the lead in this film. And Sean Biggerstaff has done a reading on it. Maybe he'll be somhow involved in the film too. The story centres around Frankie and his two loves Mary and Helen, and Frankie trying to outlive his past. Tartan Films seems to be backing it up, and they're hoping Wong Kar-wai to co-produce this film. (I've also read that it was Wong who encouraged Jobson to direct the film!) It would be interesting if Wong is involved in the film too. Personally, that would be excellent, for that pretty much means a Hong Kong release, and that is the best thing that could happen to a fan from HK ;) Filming has started on 2 June, 2002, and it is a 4-week shoot in and around Edinburgh.

Thanks Kevin for the info! If you have further information on the film, please email me!
