I haven't seen this on the mailing list, though some of you may know it from
other sources.
A film about the pirate radio ship that broadcast Radio Caroline was supposed
to have been filming yesterday in England. I have seen the title listed as
"Radio Caroline" and also "The Boat That Rocked" (see the blurbs below).
FYI, you might want to keep your eyes and ears open for more info.
Greetings to everyone going to the Fest. Unfortunately I won't be able to
attend, work obligations are interfering. Id understand this if I were an
accountant (April 15th and all that), but Im an engineer. Still, March always
seems like a busy month for me.
Travel safely and enjoy the Fest.

Philip Seymour Hoffman and Bill Nighy are the latest stars to climb aboard
Richard Curtis' pirate radio movie The Boat That Rocked.
It was previously revealed that Kenneth Branagh and January Jones had joined
Rhys Ifans on the Universal film, which tells the story of Radio Caroline.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Hoffman is being lined up to play irreverent
DJ The Count, while Branagh and Ifans will play other DJs and Jones will
portray an American visitor.
Both Nighy and Ifans starred in Curtis's 2003 rom-com Love Actually.
Curtis will write and direct the movie through the Working Title production
company.
It is scheduled to begin shooting in London on March 3.

Richard Curtis, writer-director of the British smash-hit Love Actually, is
assembling the cast for his new film, The Boat That Rocked. For once in a
Curtis film - he wrote Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill - there is
no part for Hugh Grant. Instead the male stars are Kenneth Branagh and Rhys
Ifans, whose career breakthrough came when he played Spike in Notting Hill, but
who is currently best known for his relationship with actress Sienna Miller.
The movie is set on a pirate radio station in the 1970s, based on Radio
Caroline which broadcast from a ship off Felixstowe. It charts a love triangle
between two DJs, played by Branagh and Ifans, and - obligatory in any Curtis
film - an American girl.
Following in the footsteps of Andie MacDowell and Julia Roberts is January
Jones (pictured), a former Abercrombie & Fitch model who had a small part as an
excitable blonde in Love Actually. Jones, 30, has since appeared in the Adam
Sandler comedy Anger Management and has a starring role as a suburban housewife
in Mad Men, an acclaimed US television drama set in an advertising agency in
1960s New York, which comes to Britain next month.
