29.02.2004 TV series "Nero", filmed in Tunisia, in which John plays Caligula (!) , are currently at postproduction stage. Lately John Simm hosted new BBC documentary: he travelled to South Africa and Senegal to investigate 'Football Magic' phenomenon for BBC Three. Check out BBC site for more information. 25.09.2003 BBC TV series Canterbury Tales was aired with John in segment The Knight's Tale. It's a story of two young prisoners, friends from childhood. When they fall in love with the same woman, this friendship is torn apart and they become bitter enemies. More info at official BBC site. From State of the Play interview among other things you'll find out that John is due to begin work shortly in Dublin on The Six Revenges Of Gregory Lynn, a film which he describes as "a cross between Natural Born Killers and Billy Liar". He plays a librarian who kills off his old teachers one by one and will star alongside Brenda Blethyn, Michael Gambon and Joely Richardson. Photogallery updated. It may be somewhat slow at loading, I think I'll create separate galleries for every movie in the near future. Some files in the multimedia section may not work for some time too. I plan reconstructing it as well. And last, but not least: to my surprise I've found first John Simm fanlisting on the net! Join, kids, support it! 31.05.2003 John's latest project is Ten Minute Movie, short film made by Imogen Murphy. It is produced in association with Working Title Films and Universal Pictures and is currently in post-production. And also you can check Official State of Play site. 29.11.2002 Next John's project, State of Play began filming in the end of September in London and Manchester. The main cast members are David Morrissey, John Simm, Polly Walker and Kelly Macdonald. The drama focuses on a secret love affair, an investigative journalist and a high-flying member of parliament, and explores the issue of freedom of information and the government's relationship with big business. Stephen Collins (Morrissey) is a high-flying ambitious member of parliament and Chairman of the Government's Energy Select Committee. Cal McAffrey (Simm) is a well-respected investigative journalist and Stephen's ex-campaign manager. When Stephen's young research assistant Sonia falls to her death on the London Underground, it's not long before revelations of their affair hit the headlines. Meanwhile a suspected teenage drug dealer named Kelvin Stagg is found shot dead. The discovery that Kelvin and Sonia shared a two-minute phone call on the morning of their deaths draws Cal into an investigation that's always one step ahead of the police. But friendships are tested and lives are put on the line as an intricate web of lies unfolds. State of Play is directed by David Yates, whose credits include the Bafta-winning The Way We Live Now, and has been scripted by Paul Abbott, the writer of Clocking Off, Cracker, Linda Green, Touching Evil and Reckless. Paul says: "I fell in love with the idea of watching a tiny piece of journalistic gossip trigger an investigation that gradually unearths a scandal." 18.11.2002 I've added Wonderland screenshots and two random Wonderland videoclips: Alice & Bridge Monologue. Note: they dubbed into Russian, but you can actually hear original soundtrack. You can download them by right click. You'll need Windows Player to watch them & maybe some codecs, but usually player loads them itself from net. If you experience some problems with videos, e-mail me misery@mailru.com 2.09.2002 On Thursday 5th Sept watch 'Hot Pursuit' at BBC One: documentary looking at how the high-speed war between road criminals and police pursuit drivers continues to cause casualties and controversy. The story is narrated by John Simm. I'm not sure if it's that John, but anyway :) 20.06.2002 Article Raskolnokov of Generation X from Komsomolskaya Pravda added. Did you know that actually there is a film about filming Boston Kickout? You can order it at Amazon.co.uk 07.06.2002 First and foremost I would like to sincerely apologize for the lack of updates in the past 12 months. But now having Sam's full approval I decided to breathe some new life into this project. And before I'll tell you about the renovations, I would like to thank Sam for managing this place all this time, it was real good deed. Now about site. I've written something like short John's biography & added some random facts, if you'll find some errors or omissions, please contact me; the filmography was updated; some fotos added and all the galleries were combined into one, since there are not so many pix (I also earnestly recommend you visit gallery at Alternative Hollywood - it's fabulous); dead links from articles section were deleted, new articles added; the same thing about multimedia - whole bunch of trailers in all the possible formats, if you want to download something of stream media, again contact me, I'll help you. Also links to various John sources were added & About section, explaining how this page appeared, who was working on it etc. So here we are... the upgraded John Simm unOfficial. I eagerly await to hear your responses. Good, bad or indifferent - I hope my work brings you enjoyment, so don't forget check Forum or GuestBook. Thanks for visiting!
