According to the London film festival website, Venus will be showing at the Odeon West End cinema on October 19th and 20th respectively.

Thanks for that Eiffel...booking my ticket NOW!!

Whoopeeeee, what a lot of JRT about at the moment....on the radio, Rabbit Fever coming out & now Venus too.

Thanks for that hon. Hopefully I'll have a clear diary by then!

Well Rosie and I went to see Venus today at the London Film Festival and we bumped into Tutt-Sweet there, so we had a very nice mini-meet!!

Good news is this is a very good film, and we all enjoyed it very much..... You guessed it, there's some bad news......... Julian is nowhere to be seen, unless you count the sighting we all thought we had of the back of his head!!!! I'm sure the others will tell you more, but I'm off to drown my sorrows now

To add to what Chatterbox has said, yes it was a good film with lots of funny and poignant moments - but no Julian!

The scene where we thought we saw the back of him (it really did look like his hair!) was set in a bar/club and he was sitting at the same table as the two main characters, so perhaps there had been some dialogue there that had been cut.

Our only forlorn hope is that perhaps the version we saw is not the final edit - but as the film's already been released in Canada and is due out in the States shortly, that seems highly unlikely.

Grrrr!

Oh, how poo!

At least he got paid for it though even if we don't get to see him!

Lol well we don't want him to be starving do we? He's thin enough as it is!

To add to what Chatterbox & Rosie [ to you both] have said...yes it was a lovely film, & very poignant. There were some very funny scenes & some that also brought a tear to the eye. Peter O'Toole was just magnificent [when isn't he?]

The main thing that brought a tear to my eye however, was the non appearance of Our Hero ...except for a nice shot of the back of his head & those gloriously cute fraise-blond locks! Like Chatterbox & Rosie I'm certain it was him , & yet again he seems to have ended up on the cutting room floor. One can only hope he was paid handsomely for his brief appearance !

Let's hope he features more in Stardust- tho' sadly I think we've quite a wait til that comes out .

kinda off topic, but the part in stardust wont be big, but they can't cut him as he is one of the seven ghosts, and although it isn't a large part of the story, it is an integral part. fantastic book if you haven't read it...neil gaiman is always worth reading.........

Not quite sure that this is for a forum about JRT, but nice to see that one of his fellow actors, lovely Peter O'Toole, has been nominated for a BAFTA for his superb & poignant performance in 'Venus'.

Not bad for a 74 year old eh. to him I say!

In case anyone wants to listen to Peter O'Toole talking about his role in Venus, it's on the radio VERY soon ! ...today......pity no JRT tho'

Play.com have a release date in July for the DVD of Venus, and interestingly the cast list includes Julian, wonder if its just a mistake, or have they actually put him back in for the DVD...that would be good!

may be there are some 'extras' or 'behind the scenes' with him in - now that would be worth buying the DVD for!

I'm with you on that one SB

well thats a good enough reason for me

Mind you I do actually want to see the film. I never got round to going to the pictures to see it

As i've said before in Hereford I was more likely to see a tablet and flint drawing of the film than an actual cellular version

Lol that made me laugh very funny

Thank you I try my best see you tomorrow
