It's very frustrating to have to read about a lot of these projects but then not have a chance to see them, although I suppose as a Russell fan I should be used to this sort of thing (DANCE OF THE SEVEN VEILS, etc.).  I really think that Russell should compile all of these shorter films onto a DVD... hell, right about now I'd settle for a DVD-R.

I agree. At least about the DVD. Ken seems to have done enough short films to make them available on a DVD. Of course, the question is always, is there be a market for it?

I can't remember seeing anything of Bronte- photos, trailers etc.  Was it finished?  Hard to tell.

I get confused about the Gorsewood films, which are ready, which are available etc.  Here is my attempt to define the situation- your updates please!!

Lions Mouth
*********

The first Gorsewood film, 30 minutes and Ken's first use of a camcorder.  It happened after it became clear Ken would not get a budget for The Fall of the Louse of Usher.  It has a full plot with reporter Diana Laurie seeking out the story of The Prostitutes Padre, a true life story.  It starts off very badly but does gain strength, presumably as Ken became more confident with the Camcorder.

It was shown at a private premiere party but hasn't been shown in theatres or elsewhere.  Ken fell out with actress Diana Laurie (I met her, a nice person) and has partly disowned the film.  I have a copy of the film but have promised never to copy it!!

The Fall of the Louse of Usher
***********************

Full length, it has been shown in some theatres- I went to both world premieres, the original Belgium one, then the London one months later.  The London people were not told there had already been a premiere.  It is available on DVD.  Ken originally wanted to film it with Roger Daltry and Twiggy.  It was then conceived as a series available on Internet, following Stephen King's example when King published chapters of a novel on the web.  This never happened but it explains the episodic format.

Hot Pants
*******

Three short films Revenge of the Elephant Man, The Mystery of Mata Hari and The Goodship Venus    There is a trailer for all three films. but they are otherwise not available and not seen.

Hitler's Kitten
**********

Made for comedybox, a short film.  It is no longer on Comedybox but can be seen via the Savage Messiah site.

Boadica Bites Back
**************

It is supposed to be ready but has not been released yet.  Rumours of a comic book to go with it.  Various other rumours.

Charlotte Bronte, Bravetart versus the Loch Ness Monster
*******************************************

Ideas rather than films?  It is NOT thisfilm
