Timothy - Picture of the Month...(4th March 2009)

Timothy

For those of you who have recently joined us we are just having a bit of fun here while we wait for Timothy to sign for his next project because Jayne who is a member of the group is writing a short piece to go with the Timothy pictures of the month so here is March's installment for you:

After you returned with Timothy from your road trip across America you had a weekend together before he had to go away on location to work on his new project, you ached to go with him but..he had not asked you so you decided to make an English breakfast for him on Sunday morning, and this you did. Timothy was happily surprised but suspected something was up. After breakfast he stayed sitting down at the kitchen table and said "Have you got something on your mind?" "Well..." you know you are going away on Wednesday, it is just that after the great time we have just had I would love to come with you to Colorado" you say to him. "It is a bit late now" Timothy replies "and anyway I feel you would get bored." "Why is that? Seeing you work would be a dream come true" you reply. "It is not about me alone, let me give you an idea what it would be like for you there, not actively being involved in this project. It would be a lot of waiting around while I was busy with other cast or crew members and then as soon as the director said 'Action!' you would not be able to say a word to anyone, or move at all, until the end of the take. There are lots of rules and regulations about being on a set and I have not covered the safety aspect of you being there yet, look, simply, you are much better off here while I am working and then coming to see me in Colorado on some of my weekends off. I am sorry but that is how I want it" Timothy said. In your heart you felt disappointed but a part of you knew he was right about it though and at least you could go and see him some weekends which you were already planning to make just the best fun! :-)

To be continued... :-)

Timothy Project Rumors ...(27th May 2009)

Members of the group have found two projects that I am sure you have seen online also the first is that Timothy might be in a special of Dr Who and here is what the UK Sun Newspaper said about it:

FORMER James Bond Timothy Dalton is to play a baddie in one of David Tennant's final episodes of Doctor Who.

Details are being kept under wraps but Dalton has already flown in from his home in Los Angeles for filming.

An insider said: “Timothy Dalton is a big coup for Doctor Who because he's pretty iconic.

"He's in the UK right now and is shooting scenes over the next few weeks.

"It's a good gig for him as it will be one of the most memorable episodes yet."

The dashing actor, 63, played 007 in Eighties films The Living Daylights and Licence To Kill.

His role will be in one of three specials marking the final appearance of Tennant, 38, as the Time Lord.

The last of the three will see the star regenerate into the new Doctor - played by Matt Smith, 26.

The BBC1 has not yet decided on exactly when the three specials will be shown.

But it is expected they will all screen around Christmas, with one possibly being shown on New Year’s Eve.

The final episode will feature ALL the Doctor's sidekicks - Billie Piper, Freema Agyeman and Catherine Tate.

John Simm will also feature as the Doctor’s arch enemy The Master.

ANOTHER PROJECT RUMOR.

That is not all there is another project that we think Timothy will be in and that is a project called Clean Out and the following is all about it:

Perrine Teze launches new sales venture

15 May, 2009

By Nancy Tartaglione

Former TF1 International/TFM Distribution chief Perrine Teze is back in business in Cannes with a new company, Perrine Teze International.

The veteran sales agent, with a newly-minted MBA in her pocket, is in town with Clean Out, a feature from Barthelemy Grossmann.

Mads Mikkelsen, Harvey Keitel, Peter Stormare, Elliot Gould and Timothy Dalton make up the ensemble with Dominic Monaghan in negotiations. The $13.6m (€10m) action-drama sees New York's Italian and Russian mafias working together on a money laundering scheme. When the deal's middle-man dies violently, the families set off for Zurich where a battle for the fortune ensues.

The darkly comedic film is executive produced by Gerald Morin with Peter Christian Fueter and Yves Gasser producing. Rai Cinema has Italian rights.

Grossmann is an up-and-comer whose first film, 13m2, enjoyed strong reviews in 2007. The DP on the film is Ueli Steiger whose previous credits include 10,000 BC, Austin Powers 2 and The Day After Tomorrow. Stunt coordinator on the film is Taken’s Olivier Schneider.

Clean Out starts principal photography on September 14 in New York and will shoot for ten weeks in NY, Zurich and Berlin. Teze is representing the film in Cannes while, via her new outfit, she will consult and package deals for both cinema and television projects.

As the moment these are only rumors, meaning I have not got them confirmed yet, but as soon as I do I will let you know, but they look very promising though don't they? :-)

So we will see what happens... :-)

Timothy Dalton at BBC Derby Website ...(27th January 2009)

Recently I was asked by Gavin at BBC Derby to write a piece about The Timothy Dalton Chat Group and how it came to be. The piece had to be no more then 500 words which was not easy to do because we all have so much fun with this and there is so much that could be said and shared. In the end I got the piece done and it is now up on the BBC Derby website, but that is not all Gavin and BBC Derby have put a forum up below my piece because they now would love to hear from you, they want to know why are you a fan of Timothy's? What appeals to you about him, what projects you like and why? Plus anything else you would lke to add. :-)

If you would like to join in the fun of doing this and show Timothy how much support he has got then here is the website link to the BBC Derby page:

I would like to say a special thank you to Gavin for giving me the opportunity to write this piece, and to Timothy's TV Agent in LA for being happy for me to write it also.

Timothy Dalton Project News ...(24th January 2009)

I am not going to find the following easy to do as it is much nicer to share good news of course but I am very sorry to have to tell you this, as I know how excited many of you were, I called Timothy's agents yesterday afternoon LA time and Timothy's agent asked his assistant to relay to me that the movie Timothy was in negotiations for is now not happening for him. I do not have any further details, it is disappointing I know, but lets hope that it will not be long before we hear that Timothy is in negotiations, or has signed for, another new project - Love Deb.

Strike TV Was Born On The Picket Line - by Jake Coyle The Associated Press ...(5th November 2008)

The following article was sent to me by Inge who is a member of the group which is from the Washington Post dated Friday October 31, 2008. As you will see Steven E de Souza and Timothy's project of Unknown Sender is going to have six episodes so hopefully we will see more Timothy in the episodes to come. Here is the article for you:

The new Web site, which started this week, was conceived of during the Hollywood writers strike earlier this year. It now feels like a millennium ago, so if your memory is foggy, that was when writers struck in a dispute with the studios - largely over how to divvy up revenue from online entertainment - that effectively shut down Hollywood for more than three months.

At the time, writers - ironically or fittingly, depending on your point of view - got their message out in Web videos that were much watched on the strike's unofficial blog, United Hollywood, and on YouTube.

"Everyone was making these movies about the strike," recalls Peter Hyoguchi, the chief executive officer of Strike.TV. "I thought, `What if we just did our own Web site that wasn't movies about the strike?'"

Months later and after much anticipation, Strike.TV has gotten under way as a portal for professionally created Web series. The site debuts with 10 original series and promises more than 40 series eventually.

Its slogan: "Hollywood Unplugged."

Among the series: "Global Warming," starring Kristin Wiig ("Saturday Night Live") and Aasif Mandvi ("The Daily Show"). Wiig plays a character who works in an office and falls in love with her tech-support guy in India (Mandvi).

Mindy Kaling ("The Office") stars in "House Poor," a mockumentary about a woman who doesn't have enough cash to furnish her house.

Steven E. de Souza, writer of "Die Hard," "48 Hours" and other films, wrote, directed and produced Unknown Sender, which stars Timothy Dalton and Joanne Whalley. The fictional series is conceived of as a collection of videos - confessionals, surveillance tapes - that aren't necessary meant to be distributed.

"Every medium is going to have certain unique things that fit that storytelling method," says de Souza. "And that's what we tried to do with ours, at least - to make it webby, whatever webby is."

What's most interesting about Strike.TV is seeing professionals like de Souza try their hand at a new medium. It's clear they're experimenting and adapting. The results may not be perfect, but de Souza compares this moment to the early days of film with sound or color.

"The absence of pressure from studio, network - whatever - was tangible," he says. "Everyone had fun, everyone was exhilarated."

De Souza made his six episodes near the end of the strike, working with a cast and crew that mostly deferred their fees. (The Writers Guild and the Screen Actors Guild granted the productions of Strike.TV a waiver to work during the strike.) All cast and crew will get part of any profits that result.

"It takes a professional writer to monetize this medium," says Hyoguchi. "Without a writer, this medium is a trinket, it's just a mechanism. And you cannot monetize a trinket. This medium was built for storytelling and it was built for professional storytelling."

For the first three months, profits from ads on Strike.TV will be donated to the Actors Fund's Entertainment Assistance Program, which gives financial relief to industry professionals hurt by the strike.

Hyoguchi cautions that Strike.TV isn't meant as a way to beat the system. He says writers still need the studios to make a living.

"We're not ready to completely circumvent the system," he says. "Essentially, there's been a change in the industry and this is a response to it."

The Strike.TV programs are made with solid production values. The videos (also available on YouTube and Joost) stream in high-definition with technology from BitGravity Inc.

"If you're flipping channels looking at Web entertainment, I think the one I'm doing and other people at Strike.TV are doing, it jumps out at you that this looks different," says de Souza. "This is not like someone filming their cat walking across a piano."

With a special thank you to Inge for sending the above article to me.

Timothy Dalton on British Online Movie Site Called ScreenRush ...(5th November 2008)

I have also heard from Louay who is also a member of the group and Louay has sent the following to me to share with you all:

Strike TV Launch Officially Set For October 28! ...(16th October 2008)

Be the Ultimate Assistant by Bonnie Low-Kramen...(5th October 2008)

This is not about Timothy as such but have you ever wondered what working for someone in his position would be like? Some members of the group have and they have written to me and asked me about it so I searched the Internet and came across Bonnie Low-Kramen's excellent book called Be the Ultimate Assistant. For the last 22 years Bonnie has been Olympia Dukakis' personal assistant and her book covers her experiences with the Oscar-winner Olympia Dukakis but it also gives a lot of information on the actual job of being an assistant to a celebrity. The group members, including myself, who have now purchased and read this book have found it to be excellent so if you are thinking of joining the Entertainment Industry or just would like to know what working for a celebrity is like then you can read what Bonnie has to say and you can purchase her book by visiting her website just click on her name below:

Bonnie Low-Kramen

And you can see reviews of her book by members of the public who have purchased it from Amazon.com at:

Be The Ultimate Assistant

Since reading her book Bonnie and I have been in touch quite a lot by e-mail and she is really great to be in touch with and it was at my suggestion that I mention her book here - Love Deb.

A New Project for Timothy!...(7th July 2008)

Timothy

Timothy as seen in Steven E. de Souza's 'Unknown Sender' for Strike.TV

Some wonderful news! Timothy is in a project for the Internet called Unknown Sender written and directed by Steven E. de Souza for Strike.TV. As you know Timothy and Steven E. de Souza last worked together in Showtime's excellent project of Possessed. Anyway here are all the details as to how Strike.TV came about and the projects that will be shown there including Timothy's:

HOLLYWOOD - July 3, 2008 - This Independence Day, Strike.TV sets sail with a new online Network that gives total freedom to it's creators. Strike.TV was conceived by the professional communities of Hollywood and birthed during a year of hard times in the film and television industry. Sparked in large part by the recent labor disputes and fueled by the desires of professional story-tellers to do what they do best, Strike.TV is delivering upon promises that they made during the darkest days of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike in December 2007.

Strike.TV challenged their WGA peers to go out and do what they do best and asked them to create original pieces of entertainment for the Internet, and in return promised to do three things:

Strike.TV's first promise was to build and launch a 21st century social network for WGA writers and their creative counterparts around the world. Not just writers, but also directors, actors, and all of the other crafts and crew that create and contribute to a modern production. The first working meeting attracted over 400 pioneers who wanted to create during a time of turmoil. This working meeting was covered by The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer and over 70 formal proposals were received. Through its online social network and community Strike.TV guided 40 projects into development with many more coming in following the strike. Strike.TV continues to incubate the creations of this thriving community, while aiding in the development, delivery and eventual distribution of each.

The second promise was to assemble the best partners and technologies into a cutting edge broadband video distribution platform. One that supports HD quality streaming and downloads. One that allows friends and family to share the content through social networks, blogs, iPhones, iPods and other digital devices.

The third promise was to demonstrate that it was possible for Hollywood professionals to coexist and flourish with the studio system that has supported them for so long while bringing their talents to an emerging medium and doing so in a way that helps everyone. Strike.TV chose to be on the forefront as the industry goes through the necessary changes that inevitably arise with any new technology. Every industry and economy is impacted by change. And change is sometimes painful or difficult.Strike.TV was conceived during the Writers Strike, and their most important goal has been to help the very people harmed by that strike - the below the line crew members - by giving the profits made from advertising revenue to a charity that benefits them. This was one of the reasons so many people stepped up and donated their time, energy and talent to Strike.TV.

In the continuing spirit of solidarity, Strike.TV is donating the first three months of advertising revenue from projects to the Entertainment Assistance Program of The Actors Fund, which assists film and television crew members affected by the work stoppage. In a typical year, the Entertainment Assistance Program (EAP) distributes around $200,000. Since the writers strike, and with the tenuous ongoing negotiations between SAG and the AMPTP, this year the EAP has distributed over $1.3 million to below the line industry professionals in need.

Ultimately, the true strength of the Strike.TV Network comes not from any one of these promises, but from the collective power of the artists themselves. Nothing engages an audience like a story told by someone who knows how, and never before have this many professional Hollywood creators come together en masse on the Internet to tell their stories. Stories they can spin the way their imaginations take them, just as they have in books, in theaters, in radio plays, movies, television and now, on the web at:

Timothy's Project of Centennial can now be pre-ordered...(11th May 2008)

I had an e-mail from Amazon.com today and they wrote that Timothy's project of Centennial can now be pre-ordered. I cannot believe that it has been released on DVD at last it is a great production! This is what Amazon says about it:

"Journey to the Wild West in the sweeping, sensational epic drama Centennial - The Complete Series! Relive the grand hopes, dreams, loves, and adventures of generations of residents in Centennial, Colorado - from their risky attempts to establish a settlement in 1795 through the politics and power plays of the 20th century. With over 26 TV hours of content on DVD for the first time, this incredible set gives fans the opportunity to own the complete chronicle that showcases one of the finest casts ever assembled, including Richard Chamberlain, Robert Conrad, Timothy Dalton, Mark Harmon, Andy Griffith, Raymond Burr, Dennis Weaver, Lynn Redgrave, Sharon Gless, Stephanie Zimbalist, Sally Kellerman and many more. Based on James Michener's best-selling novel, this Primetime Emmy(c)Award-nominated saga is a captivating look at the intertwining lives of the brave men and women in a fictional American town that endured the growing pains of a nation on the rise."

Timothy is excellent in this production playing Oliver Seccombe and while making this project it was the first time that Timothy had seen the real America apart from Los Angeles of course.

Anyway if you would like to pre-order Centennial which is released the end of July then here is the Amazon.com website link for you:

Amazon Centennial

Our NEW Website Counter...(11th May 2008)

As you can see my husband has very kindly put a counter on our website. We are planning this to be a temporary one but we could not put up the original orange Pearl Script counter because my new Internet Service Provider has got back to us and said that they do not allow people to run counters through their system for security reasons. We then thought of having a Java counter as we would not need to go through my ISP's system for that but not all of you will have Java enabled on your computers so those people would not be able to see it of course so it is back to the drawing board for now :-) but at least we have a counter.

Timothy Narrates New Audio Book...(16th March 2008)

I have had an e-mail from Inge who is a member of the group and she has told me that on March 4 a new audio book was released by the same author who wrote Christine Falls, Benjamin Black. The new audio book is called The Silver Swan and in fact this book continues where Christine Falls left off and again Timothy is narrating it! The running time for The Silver Swan is eight hours and forty six minutes and Timothy reads it over seven CD's.

If you would like to purchase The Silver Swan or find out further information about it you will find this information on the following websites:

Amazon.com The Silver Swan

Macmillan Audio

BBC Audio Books America

In the links from Macmillan Audio and BBC America you can listen to a sample audio clip.

In July 2008 Benjamin Black will release his next mystery called The Lemur. I wonder if Timothy will narrate that book also?

I would like to send many thanks to Inge for the above information.

A Wonderful Review For Timothy Narrating Christine Falls...(16th March 2008)

Praise for Christine Falls:

"This is one of those rare occurrences when actor/narrator and prose suit each other so perfectly that the CD's cost seems a small price to pay for the value of the performance." - Chicago Sun Times.

007 IN VIENNA: In the Footsteps of Timothy Dalton's The Living Daylights...(20th January 2008)

I have had an e-mail from Duncan who lives in Vienna and who has written a book called Only in Vienna – A Guide to Hidden Corners, Little-Known Places and Unusual Objects by Duncan J. D. Smith (Christian Brandstätter Verlag, 2008) and Duncan has very kindly shared an extract from it for us about Timothy as Bond and he covers The Living Daylights. In addition to this Duncan has taken some great photographs of where The Living Daylights was filmed in Vienna and I have put two of those with it. If you would like to read his extract which is after Adrian's article then I have put it on our 007 Page and here is the link to it:

With many thanks to Duncan for his extract from his book and The Living Daylights location photographs also.

Dear Ms Best,

In 2005, one of your site visitors sent in the information that Rex Features were able to supply prints of their material, including some of Timothy Dalton, to private customers.

Due to the recent release of 'Casino Royale', I have put together a 160+ gallery of James Bond-related images which are available as prints to private customers. Needless to say, this includes some from the Timothy Dalton era! In fact, I am having 3 more added very soon.

In case this is of interest to you, I have included a link to the new gallery. The images in the gallery can be enlarged.

The gallery offers two sizes of print. However, I can offer two extra sizes - 12"x8" (£20) and 18"x12" (£30).

People are welcome to contact me personally with any questions or to order prints at the address and phone and fax numbers listed below.

With best wishes,

Matthew Greenland.

Timothy's The Sittaford Mystery on DVD...(14th August 2006)

I have had an e-mail from Sheila who lives in New York and she has been to Amazon.com and found that you can now purchase Timothy's The Sittaford Mystery on DVD there but..the thing is you do have to purchase the four Agatha Mysteries in Series Two though, and as you know Timothy is only in one of them. However if you would like to see the other Agatha Christie mysteries along with Timothy's - The Sittaford Mystery then the series on Amazon.com is priced at $US44 I think. If you would like to purchase this series then please visit Amazon.com

I would like to say a huge thank you to Sheila for the above information.

Remastered DVD Version of Framed at Amazon UK...(9th January 2006)

I have had an e-mail from Louay, which he has asked to be put up and which says the following:-

Three days ago I was browsing the Amazon UK website and I was really happy to see that a remastered DVD version of Framed will be released on the 16th of January 2006. I think this will be the full version this time since I know that the original DVD was edited and only the VHS version was complete. I have not seen that movie yet but I think that I will buy it if it is the full version. From what I read, this movie was one of the best performances by Tim. I think All Tim's fans will like this. Here is the link: Amazon UK

Why don't you put that in the website? it will be one of the greatest updates..:-)

Consider it done Louay, with many thanks to you for the above information.

Timothy Pictures and Rex Features...(17th September 2005)

I had an e-mail from Pauline who is a member of the group and she has said this:-

Have you heard of a photo agency called Rex Features? If so if you go to their website Rex Features they are starting to sell some of their photos to the public. I got myself a lovely photo of Brent Spiner from them a little while ago and it was very cheap. I paid £15.00 for a 10x8. But If you go to their website and e-mail a gentleman called Matthew Greenland perhaps he could let you know if any of their Timothy pics are being sold. All you do is say on the e-mail which Timothy picture you are interested in, and the serial number, and he will let you know if it is for sale and send you on a sales form. I think they do have some nice ones of Timothy on there. Just thought you would like to know.

I really cannot thank Pauline enough for the above information as it is always great to know where we can all purchase pictures of Timothy from.
