WHEN ACTORS, in particular Peter Cushing... talked about the skill of stillness and concentration, with a crew of some dozen or more people looking on, is it any wonder, they didn't want people in their eyeline or distractions... When the floor manager says 'Still and Quiet Please' , he really does mean it!

'ANGELS IN NOTTING HILL' is an urban fairy tale about men and angels and the hidden little angel within all of us - full of magic, gentle humour and warmth. A funny philosophic, poetic fantasy about heaven and hell in modern everyday life.

WHAT DID SHE SEE AT THAT BUS STOP? PLUS WHAT'S THAT BOBBING IN THE SEA?

SOMETIMES, you just need to get some fresh air and take a walk on the prom, the street or around the block. Especially if you've had a morning with fighting and 'fisty-cuffs with #VincentPrice, in amongst the smoke and deadly flames! This is a slightly different promo pic from the AIP/ #Amicusfilms 1974 'Madhouse'... I just can't help thinking what that poor by-stander, lady sitting at the bus stop, must have been thinking??

 

HERE'S A FILM that almost has a ‘marmite’ appeal to many! #PeterCushing’s role and screen time could have been longer, BUT the pay off is great. This may have been the FIRST time we saw ZOMBIES 'bobbing in the sea'? 😊 You think? Tells us here at the Facebook PCASUK Fan Page  and maybe while you are there. . . .

SHANE BRIANT FRANKENSTEIN : PETER CUSHING : MADELINE SMITH AND SHERLOCK HOLMES TOO!

Following the very sad news of Shane Briant passing yesterday, I've had quite a few messages and requests, for more images of Shane.. so here are some lesser seen photographs, along with a beautiful message from the director of the last film Shane worked on in 2015, 'Sherlock Holmes vs Frankenstein' .. where Shane reprises the role he played as Peter Cushing's Frankenstein 'hands' and assistance 'Simon Helder' in 'Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell' for #Hammerfilms in 1974. 

 

"I had the sadness to learn today that Shane Briant had died. He was a wonderful human being, caring and funny, and he will be sorely missed. Ten years ago, he was literally the first person to support "Sherlock Holmes vs Frankenstein" - outside of friends and family. We met in Paris in August 2011, as he was on his way to a recording of a commentary track for "Frankenstein and the monster from hell" in London. He returned to Paris several times, on his own or with his dear wife Wendy, and each time we talked about making the movie, so he could play the part of Simon Helder one more time. Shane became a true friend, and his involvement went way beyond what is expected of an actor in a film project.

 

 

"In 2015, he backed the crowd-funding campaign in every way he could, filming videos, contacting friends and directors, and he committed to flying from Sydney to Paris on his own expenses, just to film a few scenes in character. The scenes were shot in 2016, and we were able to put together a promotional reel. Unfortunately, the project has been stalled for a few more years, and is only moving forward again this year. I am devastated that Shane will not be able to see the movie, and I hope the result will honour the efforts he put in supporting it. His legacy will forever be linked to Hammer movies, which he always was proud of. My thoughts are with Wendy, and with Shane's family."

 

Gautier Cazenave (director 'Sherlock Holmes vs Frankenstein')
