ChetG says…


Some major mishaps have occurred because of the server switch over. Nothing is lost currently it will just take some recoding to get everything back into tip top shape. Here is a list of things that are or are not working on jimsturgess.org.

Working:

  • The home page, as well as all commenting and posting abilities.

Not Working:

  • Any links located on the site, and all other site pages. There are some minor issues in the coding that are causing the links to fail.

Again, I apologize for the inconvenience this is causing you guys, but I will have it back up soon.

Cheers,

ChetG

NEW HOSTING


Wow. I would like to apologize for the amount of down time that recently took place. We switched hosts thinking it would be quick and painless, only to find out there was a lot more to it. Right now Super Chet is working on fixing the remaining errors and we should be back up and running ASAP.

Thanks for sticking by us during all of this and don’t forget… tomorrow is Jim’s birthday!!! :)

MORE DOWNTIME


Sorry for that, guys. The site went down again for a couple of days, and there was nothing we could do about it. After this week is over, we’re going to be switching companies, and hopefully that’ll do the trick. I’d love to switch it all now, but sadly it is finals week here in the college world, so everything has to be put on hold for the time being.

In other news, our little scrapbook project should be arriving in the UK sometime within the next week. Thrilling!

‘HEARTLESS’ NEWS


The Daily Mail (UK) reports today on the filming of Jim’s next movie, Heartless.

Jim Sturgess…will star in the film Heartless, which Renaissance man Philip Ridley will direct on locations in East London and the Isle of Man, from June 1.

Clemence Poesy, the French-born actress who is so good in Martin McDonagh’s film In Bruges, will play an Eastern European who meets Sturgess’s character. It also stars Noel Clarke, who made Kidulthood and the forthcoming Adulthood movie.

Richard Raymond, who is producing the film with Pippa Cross, said it will be a “gleaming and seductive look at the East End,” which will turn the culture of hoodies on its head. Sturgess will play a young man who makes a deal with the devil to become handsome, but then discovers there’s a price for his good looks: he has to become a killer.

Framestore, the special effects studio which won an Oscar for The Golden Compass, is creating the mythical figures that will be seen in some sequences.

GIANT & WWD SCOOP MAGAZINE SCANS


I’ve added two new magazines scans to the gallery. The first is from Giant Magazine, and the second from WWD Scoop. Enjoy! :)

SCRAPBOOK PICTURES


The Birthday Scrapbook pictures are finally posted!

Bad news: Unfortunately, there were a handful of messages that did not make it through the entire book-making process. Willow and I ended up with a couple of duplicate pages, and we were missing some other pages. We tried our best, and we apologize. We did, however, include the extra pictures we had so those people could still be in the book.

Note: These pictures are pretty low-res at the moment, which is entirely my fault.

I have hi-res copies, but I overshot the shrinking process. When I have another few minutes, I’ll update with larger pictures.

Just a side note: Willow and I spent 6.5 hours in a Starbucks making this. We put A LOT of work into it, so we hope you all enjoy it! The extra pictures are a bonus for those in the know.

THURSDAY THE 12TH TRAILER


First off, I’d like to apologize for my lack of posting this past week. It is finals time here at Manhattan College, and I have a lot of Biology to learn! Anyway, we got an e-mail from a submitter of the Thursday the 12th TV miniseries trailer! The trailer shows a young(er) Jim.

The full trailer can be seen here.

When I get home tonight, I will attempt to put up the Scrapbook pictures!

Just a quick edit… I’ve edited the trailer to include only Jim’s scenes. Hope you ENJOY!! Diane

ALLOY - 21 QUESTIONS WITH JIM STURGESS


Alloy.com interviewed Jim, asking 21 very funny and revealing questions. Did you know Jim’s middle name is Anthony, his dream co-star is Daniel Day Lewis and his nick-name in high school was Slim Jim? Special thanks to Moon Puppet from our forum for sharing this article with us.

Here’s a short excerpt from “21 Questions with Jim Sturgess.”

Which of your characters have you related to the most?

Well, I’ve never tried to sleep with my sister, so I’ll cross out The Other Boleyn Girl. It would probably be Jude — coming from England and coming to New York and having that experience was very much what I was going through at the time. I’ve always been interested in 60’s culture more than anything — more than gambling or Vegas, more than the period of the Tudors.

Does what happens in Vegas really stay in Vegas?

Unfortunately, it does. That’s the rule — I mean, I didn’t make up the rules. That’s just the way it is. That’s the golden ticket I was given that allowed me to be as badly behaved as possible and then not have to tell anyone about it. I went there, a lot of the time I was working very hard, so I couldn’t get into very much trouble, but we definitely found stuff to get up to.
