Be Here Now Update

2014-05-18T16:17:00.000-03:00

Here's an update from facebook on the Be Here Now The Andy Whitfield Story docu. They are currently working on sound editing.

Post by Be Here Now The Andy Whitfield Story.

I notice some negative comments in the fandom. Along the lines that "it has taken too long" and "nobody is interested now." Well, first of all, not true. I'm interested and I know plenty of people that still are too. There are thousands of people on the Be Here Now facebook page. Add to that, the millions of fans on the Official Spartacus facebook page. I find it so egotistical when a few people think they speak for thousands or millions for that matter. Please get over yourself.

The producers of this docu are obviously doing it to perfection instead of cranking out a poorly done quickie hack job. They didn't jump on the time is hot now moolah making bandwagon. If they did, it would have been out while Spartacus was still airing or within the first years of Andy's passing or the first anniversary of his death. Tho, I'm sure they want to make $$, but for something that actually deserves it. Also, I might point out as fan of docus, the movie is not just for Spartacus fans, or Andy fans, but for anyone that enjoys a good documentary. I'm anxious to see it too, but I think the story of our Bringer of Rain deserves a stellar quality presentation, and if that takes some time, so be it.

It appears there is some confusion about the Australian convention expo, Supanova. As reported in an earlier post Lucy was going, but now Lucy has said that she told them no about attending, although it could change.

Msg from @RealLucyLawless My availability for Supernova is unclear so I said No. That could change but until Sharon says it, I'm not there.

Batiatus Is On Twitter

2013-11-17T01:53:00.000-04:00

I just noticed that Batiatus himself, John Hannah, is on twitter. Apparently since June. Remember all the fakes? Remember how the fakes would follow only Spartacus accounts and fans? Like he had no life other than Spartacus. It was so obvious that it was a fan doing it. Pretty ludicrous eh? Well don't worry, this is a verified account so it's really him! And he ain't following only Sparty stuff!

Accept No Substitute! Can't say I'm going to be prolific but you'll know it's me and I won't be asking anyone for money.
