Since I've been busy working at Shakespeare's Globe and keeping an eye out for other positions, I haven't had much time to update the blog. For the sake of keeping it going, I've decided to post a few random things that spring to mind.
Series Seven of Doctor Who began filming today. Hooray! Filming took place at Church Road, Penarth, with Karen Gillian, Arthur Darvill and guest star Mark Williams, who is better known for playing Arthur Weasley in the Harry Potter film series. Over the next few months there's going to be many more leaks and it'll be a challenge not to spoil myself. Back in 2004 I did my best to avoid any spoilers from the Series One filming, but I've been pretty rubbish since then. It'll be a long while before Series Seven is broadcast, and I don't want to be bored of the experience before it has begun!
I've also got around to seeing the latest trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man and I must say I'm more optimistic about it than I was before. It still looks like standard superhero film fare, with the obligatory origin story, but I like the fact that Spider-Man is wisecracking with the criminals he faces. It's an aspect of the character that I always enjoyed in the comics and the 1994 animated series, but found strangely lacking in Sam Raimi's films. Andrew Garfield looks like he'll be a good Peter Parker.
Anyway, that's all for now. Hopefully my next post will be a lot more interesting than this.
