Cheers guys!!

“its these touches that leaves you wondering if he [Andy Remic] really is a mad man on the scale of a certain “Haggis” or a genius for the sheer scope and depravity that he manages to inject within his tightly bound pages”.

HARDCORE New Promotional Poster…

Here’s another promotional shot for the upcoming short film HARDCORE, based on a book by, ahem, Andy Remic.

HARDCORE film shoot.

So, we’ve just finished principal photography for the short promo film HARDCORE, in support of my new Combat K book which is out January 2010. It was one of the most intense days of my life, totally exhausting and totally fulfilling at the same time! We had a script, cast, a director and a series of locations including a steelworks for the finale… and it really did feel like making a real movie!! And some people make their living like this!? Wow. Bradshaw Profiles, Croft Street, Bury supplied the main location, and the REAL guns were kindly supplied by The Fusilier Museum, in Bury – many thanks to these kind people, and to all the cast members who kindly gave up their time. Written by Andy Remic and directed by Colin Howarth. A Grunge Films production. Also see: www.grungefilms.com for production stills, and www.solarisbooks.com for a filmshoot write-up!!

HARDCORE Filming in-gear……

Gearing up for filming the promo shortly, and boy is it a lot of a) work, b) time, but it should be a great laugh!! All those rampant rancid zombie nurses. Makes me shiver, urgh.

Please note: the film is late. Yes.

But the book’s out!! Available now!! from all good bookshops.

Some VERY interesting and humorous photos to follow……

WANTED – Amateur actors and actresses.

WANTED – Amateur actors and actresses; I’m filming a promo film for HARDCORE, my latest novel, at a steelworks in Bury on Sunday 31st January 2009. It’s non-profit making film (so you don’t get paid) but if you fancy being a zombie nurse/ zombie doctor extra, then drop me an email at jappo@talktalk.net. If you have a uniform/ lab coat, then all the better!! Cheers, Andy Remic.

CHEMICAL MAN – short film now live.

And here it is.

Chemical Man Short Film.

OK, so I’ve made a short film called Chemical Man, mainly as a learning process to get me used to hi-def cams and editing software and, er, working with “actors”. By making something like this, you certainly learn a lot during the process and it’s a damn sight harder than you think!! There are many “mistakes” in the film but hey, it was really good fun and I’ll post Chemical Man soon so I can be pelted with rotten tomatoes, heh. As one friend said when they saw this pic, “Is that you, Rem, in the gimp mask?”. Ho ho. So yes, it is indeed I in the gimp mask.

Please note, I want to say a very special thanks to the musicians who graciously and humorously gave permission to use their vibes in this little film. So thanks to Jordan Reyne for her sultry vocals, thanks to TH3 M1SS1NG which I hate to type but love to listen to, and also especially for that haunting piano track written just for this film; and finally, a HUGE THANKS to the wonderful NEW MODEL ARMY for permisison to use Bad Harvest from their latest album, Today Is A Good Day, and who I’ve been listening to for DECADES!! Wow. I’m totally honoured!!

Kell’s Legend – French Translation.

I’m extremely pleased to announce that contracts have been signed for a French translation of KELL’S LEGEND. This will be published by BIBLIOTHEQUE INTERDITE (but if you type it into Google, it will translate the site for you) and I’m completely thrilled this fine publisher will be handling my expansion into Gallic territories.

HARDCORE out now!!!

Yes! It’s finally here! My HARDCORE baby about deviant twisted medical technology and starring our happy psychopathic Combat K squad, Keenan, Pippa and Franco Haggis.

“HARDCORE – You’ll never look at a nurse the same way again…”

“HARDCORE – So hard even the babies carry shotguns…”

Enjoy
