The Big Issue: Murder and the Dancefloor
 03 January 2010, 12:30 pm |
Happy Holidays & Happy New Year 2010! After this brief holiday hiatus, I bring you a little treat. I’ve uploaded a nice interview from 2002 featured in The Big Issue. Mr Simm talks Crime and Punishment and 24 Hour Party People in it, among other things.
The Doctor Who specials came and went, so I’ll be uploading a few captures once the DVD is out. Also update the project page and add a couple of videos. Enjoy this for now!

Old and new print articles
30 November 2009, 06:40 pm |
Got my hands on an old article (new for the site) from 1999, just before Human Traffic came out. Really short and none too revealing, but interesting nonetheless. Follow the link below.
More recently, in their January 2010 issue Q Magazine asked various artists about their choice Album of the Century. You can read Mr Simm’s answer below. Thanks to L for the heads-up!
Actor John Simm nominates Grinderman’s Grinderman (2007)
“He’s getting better as he gets older, Nick Cave. Filthier and dirtier. I saw him at a Doctor Who Christmas special, queuing up with his kids to get Doctor Who’s autograph, which was strange.”
Also, this week’s issue of Radio Times features a preview for the two upcoming Doctor Who specials. John Simm is, again, interviewed briefly. You can find the promo pic that came with the article here.
Simm describes his character’s latest incarnation as “emo Master”. Gone are the sharp suit and slick haircut of his prime minister persona in 2007, to be replaced by wild eyes and punk-white hair peeking out from a hoodie. He flashes in and out of “skeleton mode”. “This is a Master who’s lived and died,” explains Simm, “and now lives again—although he’s seen healthier days. He’s desperate, and desperate means dangerous.” Just the thing for Christmas!

Old press update #2

Added a bunch more of new (to the site) old articles plus their respective scans. Guilt-Edged Drama (about the making of Crime and Punishment) is particularly interesting. Enjoy!
The Speaking in Tongues information page is also up now! I’ll be adding new data as it appears.

Since we’re experiencing a shortage of news, I’m taking the opportunity to upload a few old short articles I still have laying around. They’re quite silly, but I hope you enjoy them nonetheless.

I’ve archived some old articles/interviews I still had lying around. There are a few interesting ones. I still have a couple more, but I need to do some scanning first.
The gallery script is now changed in all pages, too. If you encounter any problem with it (or any page that still has the old script) please do not hesitate to drop me a note.

I found a brilliant new old article from Telegraph Magazine about Crime and Punishment’s filming in St Petersburg which includes some comments by David Snodin, Tony Marchant, Julian Jarrold and John Simm on set. A really great read.

Uploaded a new old brief interview to the site. No new information in it, but since it wasn’t too tabloid-ish and came with a nice pic, I’m adding it for completion’s sake.
