Season's Greetings One and All, What a joy it has been to watch Mamma Mia make so many people happy. Not a day goes by without someone saying they have seen it, not once, but several times. You can now purchase Mamma Mia on DVD for the holidays.
Last summer my company Irish DreamTime made an independent film called The Greatest, which has been accepted into the 2009 Sundance Film Festival competition. The beautiful and talented Susan Sarandon joined first time writer/director Shana Feste and a young company of gifted actors to make a movie which explores love, loss and the heartbeat of family life. Up next I will begin principal photography on a film entitled Heaven and Earth which is shooting entirely on location in South Africa. Heaven and Earth is the true story of James Miranda Barry (portrayed by Natasha McElhone) who was appointed Army Surgeon at the Cape Colony and rose through the ranks to eventually become Surgeon General of the British Army. Only when the undertaker was laying out the body of the eminent physician was a startling discovery made - Dr. James Barry was in fact a woman. This spring, I will be working with Roman Polanski on a film based on the book of the same name, The Ghost which details the story of a ghost writer crafting the memoirs of the British Prime Minister. When "the Ghost" uncovers a myriad of secrets, his own life is put in jeopardy. The ensemble includes Ewan McGregor as

The Ghost and Kim Cattrall as my mistress. The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle will begin production in summer 2009 followed by The Thomas Crown Affair 2 in the fall. In the spirit of giving this holiday season please consider making a small contribution to those in need. The following organizations were on our holiday gift giving list: - The Jane Goodall Institute - Roots and Shoots - American Red Cross - Kauai Humane Society These funds will be used to sponsor environmental education and youth based humanitarian programs, provide clean, safe drinking water to a developing nation by distributing thousands of portable water purifiers, offer relief services for the victims of the Southern California Wildfires, and care for numerous stray animals while also supporting the spay and neuter shelter program on the island of Kauai. Holiday Blessings from my home to yours and every good wish for the coming year ahead. May the spirit of the season fill you with love, joy and peace.
