The film has been made by the Opus film company in Lodz , and directed by two Israeli people from Tel aviv....its about to be released in Israel , not sure when it will hit Polish cinema.....Its about slightly ecentric nutters living in Poland , god knows why they wanted me to star in it...? I am also the narrater for the film....
Lots of really great Polish scenery in it , some nice winter shots , and my Harley gets in it too.... I have already practiced my speech for the oscars...
Yeah they kept telling me all the time not to smile....i suppose i will come over as a right miserable git...not like me at all , we did many a retake because i was laughing all the time...That pic of the car was taken in Szczecin just after some drunken guy had smashed into the side of me on the dual carriageway 5 kms from the city centre...
We were in Szczecin to film the meeting with my Latvian girl that was bussing in from Frankfurt...I think that bit might be chopped out of the film tho , as its supposed to be a documentary...not a disaster movie....!
No , the Polish people in the film are a mixed bunch of friendly nutters....i think some of them were allowed to smile....Actually there was one person in the film who really was a nutter , a real psycho , but he was Russian...!
Congrats, Wildrover :) Who would've known that in your autumn before the winter you would get such a chance to perhaps launch a second (or third?) new career ;)
Latvian girl? I thought she was Russian? Guess I don't keep track enough of your love life...
Ah, anyway, Latvian girls, Russian girls, Polish girls...Who cares; between their legs they all look the same anyway :D
Keep up Maregaea , the Latvian lady was a minor disaster that occured while i was searching for the lady of my dreams , didn,t last long , and yes the current and probably permanant lady in my life is a lovely childrens teacher from Moscow....
I don,t think the film is going to be a future career , although the producers are coming to Poland again this year to make another film with me...They did suggest i went to acting school in the UK , as it seems i am a natural actor , but i don,t think i will be bothering...?
Perhaps if i had discovered this hidden talent thirty years ago i might have gone for it , but i can,t be bothered going back to school at my age....Its actually quite hard work being an actor , doing the same shots over and over again , i can see why some actors get in such a strop....
I would quite like to make a road movie...me on my Harley heading into the badlands of Russia....mind you , on those roads it could wind up ending the same way as easy rider did...!
I was contemplating getting a bit of a haircut , but seems my Russian lady likes it , so it has to stay for the moment , probably she likes to drag her men around by the hair...?
I don,t know when or where the film will be shown in Polska , but i imagine they will try to promote it here , after all its a Polish company that made the film...
The producers did say they wanted me to go to the first showing in Tel aviv , and offered me a free ticket to fly there , but since then they have put a lot of money into another project , so i don,t know if that invitation still stands...?
The Israeli producers of the film were really nice people , and we became good friends , they stayed at my farm for most of the filming that was done in this area....
As soon as i hear of the film appearing at a cinema near you....i will let you know...
