EE: What happens to stars after they leave....

[faceless]

no worries - I had a look about and it seems I'd need to pay around $200 for better software, so that won't be happening any time soon...

Well, it's not really a necessary thing.......and, for what it's worth, I think there's a possibility some people may not post as much if they have an option to just click "like".

yeah, that's a problem but I do like an vote system. So I'm thinking to maybe add Disqus comments (it's free) at the bottom of each topic, that way new people can get into it before signing up. And they have a neat vote up/down thing.

Now we will have to watch our spelling. LOL. Don't want to get voted off the island for bad spelling!

Martin Kemp to Direct Adaptation of London Cult Crime Novel 'Top Dog'

Musician and actor Martin Kemp will direct the upcoming British crime drama Top Dog, a movie adaptation of the cult novel by Dougie Brimson (Green Street). The movie will be produced by Jonathan Sothcott through his Richwater Films banner.

Kemp previously directed cult thriller Stalker, also produced by Sothcott, which picked up best picture and best director plaudits at the British Horror film awards and will be released in the U.S. later this year. Brimson, who co-wrote soccer hooligan movie Green Street, is adapting his own novel into a screenplay.

Leo Gregory is attached to star as London villain Billy Evans who bites off more than he can chew when he crosses a more dangerous criminal gang.

Kemp said: "I'm thrilled to be directing Top Dog, I can't wait to get back behind the camera. Every so often something really special comes along, and this is it." Sothcott added: "in our ambition to make the definitive hooligan movie, finding the right director was the last and perhaps most important part of the puzzle. I know from working with Martin over many years that his passion and very real skill as a film-maker will ensure that Top Dog becomes the ultimate lads film." Shooting is scheduled to begin in November.

The movie will be released in the U.K. in 2014 by Universal Pictures U.K., part of Universal Pictures International Entertainment - the home entertainment division of NBC Universal.

Sothcott, whose resume boasts British low budget genre thrillers White Collar Hooligan and Fall of The Essex Boys, launched Richwater Films at the start of 2013.

I didn't know he'd already directed a movie - it'll be interesting to see how he does.

I knew he was on True Blood, but I don't watch this show so not sure how good he is. Can you find some of the episodes online or on Netflix maybe, Spurs?????

[Twirley]

I saw him a few weeks back. He was really good, actually. :-)
