Michael Gomez movie?

[Blueboy]

Anyone know what ever happened to the movie based on Michael Gomez's life?

I'm assuming they ran out of funding, because I'm sure I'd seen a trailer/preview but I've heard or seen nothing since. Think the lad playing Gomez was an actor from Shameless.

[SouthpawSlayer]

seen the trailer a long time ago but same as yourself nothing since

[Boro chris]

I've seen clips from it and to be hoest it looked fucking awful. Very amatuerish.

Its not been shot yet. Its not finished, his book will come out first.

[NO MAS]

I hope that Gomez gets a few quid out of it... never a dull moment in a Gomez contest...:good

[Blueboy]

Thanks for the replies/info fellas.

Gomez has certainly had a colourful life, the potential for a good movie/documentary is definitely there, let's hope something comes of it.

Saw a trailer type thing and it looks like a camp Danny Dyer film but less realistic and very poor acting/script.

Ive seen the trailer to it i think it looks like a cracking film, cant wait till its out to watch it, Michael Gomez is a legend. :happy

[Mr Blair]

Yeah I remember hearing the confirmed details about it, and have wondered myself what the pops going on with it.

Kelvin Fletcher aka Andy Sugden in Emmerdale was directing it and Jody Latham was playing Mr Gomez.

i hope they do it justice

this mans story deserves a big budget and proper proffessional, hollywood make these sorts of stories up

[Ectoplasm]

His life certainly is movie material. Even his birth!!

[Blueboy]

Just an update on this fellas...

I found the official site for the film and it says that 'the trailer was made before the script was written' and is a 'taster of how the feature may look when complete'

My guess is a lack of funding is the problem as it seems to have been in the making for a a couple of years now with no confirmation of scripts being finalised or filming started

Here's the link incase anyone's interested...

I don't think the trailer's up to much either

Shame really, cos his story has certainly got potential for a decent film/TV drama

Who's really arsed

[BURNLEYBLUE]

It would never o worked anyway. The casting was all wrong.
I mean, you cant have a complete and utter nob-wipe like Jody Latham play Micheal Gomez.

[Dan684]

Would a complete and utter nob wipe not be suitable ?

Probably so shit they can't find a distributor... they have finished filming im sure. it'll surface once some Indie DVd distributor shells out a fw quid for a quick, cheap release.
