I’m sure everyone knows the all new Coca Cola bottles campaign where they’ve printed hundreds of names on them and the game is of course to try and find your own! No luck with mine as yet though a few hours ago I did find these in the supermarket AND next to each other as well, which made me laugh. 
Robin ‘Jonas Armstrong’ Hood Coke bottles lol

Finally Summer has arrived! Well sort of… 
Apparently we had the coldest Spring on record for over 40 years, so let’s hope June will be a bit more Summery than the Autumn of May.
Best of luck to everyone having exams! I decided to make a Ghost Squad calendar for June as I watched the series during my last ever exam cram period at Uni. And remember it was a very welcome distraction from all that studying!

As July is fast approaching it will be very interesting to find out what Warner.Bros has planned at Comic – Con 2013.
The yearly event takes place between the 18th & 21st of July in San Diego, and has always been a favourite place by TV and film Studios alike to showcase what’s in store between late 2013 and 2014.
It will be up to Warner Bros. to decide if they’ll include All You Need is Kill (Tom Cruise, Jonas Armstrong, Emily Blunt) in their pictures’ panel. It would make sense to show a preview clip and trailer as the Sci-Fi / Action blockbuster fits the Comic – Con crowd. Also has to be said that the film is being highly anticipated by many Sci-Fi fans, and say what you will but Oblivion was a massive box office hit! I hope the change in release date from March to June 2014 won’t affect their decision.
You can expect more news, official confirmation of the schedules, guests and panels in June. As always with these type of events, the schedule is not set in stone so expect many tweaks right up to the dates!

Would like to announce today the launch of the Blog’s very own YouTube channel!
You’ll see the videos have been uploaded last week, and with some tweaks have now been fully approved so am now able to share these with you.
You’ll see playlists for Hit & Miss, Twenty8k and Trailers archive (2010 – 2012). With time the idea is to keep adding videos related to each of the three upcoming projects Jonas has worked on. (The Whale, Walking with the Enemy, All You Need is Kill). So every time a project releases a trailer or there’s an interview, you’ll be able to find it on the channel. (if respective owners approve)
Hope you’ll enjoy!

All updates, however small are a good thing in the case of Walking with the Enemy so this is just to let you know that the website main image has been updated!
Check out

Let’s hope we’ll get a definitive release date soon, as articles keep on speculating. This time from the Budapest Times : mentioning it’s due to be released at the end of the year. Fingers crossed as that would mean the film could be eligible to enter the 2014 Award season instead of entering it in 2015.

Very good news for all fans of Jonas Armstrong & Chloë Sevigny in German speaking countries, as the DVD & Blu-Ray of Paul Abbott’s TV series Hit and Miss will be released on the 4th of June!
You can pre-order at amazon.de
No news as yet on a Benelux one I’m afraid, but then we always have to wait ages…will keep checking though.
The creators of Hit and Miss have a new exciting project in the pipeline called ‘No Offense’. A new eight-part comedy drama for Channel 4 with a brand new take on the police station environment and fighting crime in Manchester. Please check out the press release as it sounds truly fantastic! Got a feeling the cops and other characters will be even bolder than the formidable ‘Gene Hunt’ from Ashes to Ashes and Life on Mars

I thought I’d wait to post about new BBC series Poldark until casting was officially confirmed, but as the articles keeps on flooding my google alert inbox…
So what is the news?
The BBC have decided to remake the 1970′s series Poldark for a new audience, based on the saga novels by Winston Graham set in late 18th century Cornwall.
From the BBC press release:
Ross Poldark returns home from war, looking forward to a joyful reunion with his family and his beloved Elizabeth. Instead he discovers his father has died, his home is overrun by livestock and drunken servants, and Elizabeth, believing Ross dead, is engaged to his cousin. Ross must start from scratch, forging a completely new path for his life – one that takes him in exciting, unexpected and hazardous directions.
At this point the BBC and the production company Mammoth Screen (Endeavour, Parade’s End) are deciding who will play the lead Ross Poldark and several names keep on popping up: Eddie Redmayne, Matt Smith, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jonas Armstrong, Colin Morgan,… So it’s like a battle between Robin Hood vs Merlin vs DoctorWho
Now to be honest they are all fantastic talented actors but since all the other fanbases are trooping support for their ‘leading man’ wouldn’t be quite right if we didn’t as well. So let’s keep our fingers crossed for Jonas to get the part!
I know Jonas just wrapped on The Whale, a non – fiction story set in 1820′s. But it would be fantastic so see him play in a historical drama again. I’m not familiar with Poldark but from the synopsis it reads like the Count of Monte Christo (could be entirely wrong!) not sure if revenge is involved at all but the romance aspect of it is very similar.
Anyways we’ll probably have to wait a bit longer to know the what, where and when and most importantly who?

It’s a wrap for BBC TV drama The Whale as they finish filming in Malta today. Hope everyone has had a blast working on this project!
The Whale starring Jonas Armstrong as Owen Chase, Adam Rayner (Captain Pollard) , Charles Furness (Thomas Nickerson ) and Jassa Ahluwalia (Owen Coffin) will air on BBC One and on the Discovery Channel (USA) later this year!

From today and for the upcoming two weeks, cinema goers near Minneapolis will have the chance to see an advanced screening of Walking with the Enemy starring Jonas Armstrong and Ben Kingsley at the Main Street Theatre!
The full schedule (times & dates) have now been added so if you live nearby: Go Go Go!
If you’d like to learn more, do read this article from the local news as they’re very pleased they got the opportunity to host the advanced screenings and they added a lovely new poster image as well.
The Facebook page of Walking with the Enemy updated us with a brand new poster and guess you can all see it says: 2014 as release date. So again if you can grab a chance to view it at an advanced screening, don’t hesitate!

According to reports: Warner Bros. decided to push back the release date of All You Need is Kill from March to the 6th of June 2014. (perhaps 30th of May depending where you live)
The Sci -Fi epic action blockbuster starring Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt and Jonas Armstrong will now be added to the summer schedule which is rather cool!
Though it has to be said, Warner Bros. does make a habit of changing release dates…I’m sure fellow Harry Potter fans will know what I’m on about.
I just hope this doesn’t mean we’ve to wait 3 months longer to get the first stills or any other promo material, or why not a confirmation & info on Jonas Armstrong’s character name ‘Skinner’? Ahem yeah that last one would be a good start. It’s just that when you check in on imdb, you actually get names and ranks of the extras, instead of some of the main actors which is a bit annoying.
