Dear everybody -

I am sitting in the BA Lounge at LAX after a very productive and very short trip to LA. Got to see friends and take meetings and most of all raise a little something for charity - thank you everybody who showed up for that by the way - thank you for showing up and for donating and for buying and for everything related to anything that raises support and most importantly funds for the charities that I support.

I don't know how many of you know this but ANSA is just starting an auction and there are a few well signed XF items up for grabs but also they are in basic need of financial support right now to meet their fiscal responsibilities and so anything you can give would be awesome and go to such a good cause.

So I miss my boys. Five nights is about the limit of what I can do without them and I just can't stand it. On the phone Oscar says ‘Hello My Mommy’ and I just want to eat him up. Eyelashes, toenails, the whole lot. And then there's Felix, blond hair, blue eyes, a bulldozer with a wicked sense of humor even at one. Enough!

Anyhoo so here is LAX and on my way to the welcome drizzle of London before the welcome sunshine of somewhere else and time just flies and flies and I wish I could tell you what I'm doing next but I can't and Oh there was Moby Dick which was so much fun and such a great group of people not least of which was the director Michael Barker who is an angel of a man and Ethan (Hawke) and Charlie (Cox) and then William (Hurt) and oh my Donald Sutherland who I would give my left anything to properly work with again. It was blessed. Well, and cursed but I won't go into that.

And and what else can I say without saying anything at all...

Oh everybody has to see the movie Fish Tank when it comes out.

I wish I could say more but you know this isn't a blog.

That's all for this...year?

G.

Джиллиан вроде как будет сниматься вот в этом фильме:

Title: The Precious One

Director: Roger Spottiswoode

Producers: James Morcan, Lance Morcan, Genevieve Hofmeyr

Cast: Gillian Anderson, Nick Nolte, Kevin Hart, Tatyana Ali, Viola Davis, John Rhys-Davies, Arnold Vosloo

Genre: Drama / Biography

The story chronicles the inspirational true-life story of colored weightlifter Precious McKenzie's journey to overcome incredible odds from extreme poverty and hardship in white-ruled South Africa, through to his gold medal victory at the 1966 Commonwealth Games in Jamaica. While still an infant, Precious' father is killed by a crocodile. Unable to cope with grinding poverty, Precious' mother turns to drink and loses custody of her children. Precious and his little sister Gloria are placed in the care of foster parents who treat them like slaves. In his early adulthood, Precious accidentally discovers his gift for weightlifting. He recognizes the sport is his only chance to lift himself out of destitution and rise above the politics of racial discrimination. Early in his weightlifting career, Precious meets Elizabeth, a beautiful colored girl who is as spirited and feisty as he is. They fall in love and, after a whirlwind romance, marry. Precious competes in national tournaments and quickly establishes himself as the best weightlifter in South Africa. Despite his total dominance in the sport, his skin color prevents him from representing his country. But the closer Precious gets to competing at the Olympics, the more obstacles are placed in his path by the white South African Government. Now in his late twenties, and sensing that his best years are slipping away, he decides to migrate to England in the desperate hope he can compete internationally. Almost penniless, Precious flees from South Africa with Elizabeth to make one last-ditch attempt to receive the recognition he deserves.

Съёмки начинаются в августе в Южной Африке.
