Spending as much time as possible with Axelle. She's awesome, the love of my life, and my best pal in the whole wide world! xxx Watching movies - expanding my useless knowledge of cinema, or just chilling out with a beer and watching some mindless entertainment. My other interests include photography, fell walking (although I can't see me getting much of that done now I live in London) and archery.
Music
LOT'S OF 80'S STUFF, SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES, THE SEX PISTOLS, THE ROLLING STONES, THE BEATLES, THE JAM, THE CURE, U2, JERRY GOLDSMITH, JOHN WILLIAMS, HANS ZIMMER, JEFF WAYNE'S WAR OF THE WORLDS, TUBULAR BELLS and STAR TURN to name a few
Movies
Television
CHEERS, SPACED, THE GOODIES, ALAN PARTRIDGE, THE FAST SHOW, DEADWOOD, 24, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (2007), I also love MYTHBUSTERS and SMASH LAB, two programmes dedicated to blowing shit up, and all in the interests of science. Marvelllous!Axelle's recently got me into BUFFY, only about 10 years late!
Books
Mostly movie related books - autobiographies from ERROL FLYNN and DAVID NIVEN to JOHN BOORMAN and SAM PECKINPAH. On the fiction side, pretty much anything by STEVEN PRESSFIELD - GATES OF FIRE pisses on 300 from a great height! TIDES OF WAR and LAST OF THE AMAZONS are awesome books. Also love HG WELLS (WAR OF THE WORLDS) and EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS way ahead of their time JOHN CARTER ON MARS books. I've also read several biographies about the life of an amazing adventurer called RICHARD MEINERTZHAGEN. And the VIZ 'PROFANISAURUS' - funny as.....!
Heroes
My Dad. Indiana Jones...well duh! John Wayne - (ignore the politics, the man was a movie legend). Ash - groovy! Jack, Simon and Sam - my team - always cool under heavy pressure. See above - RICHARD MEINERTZHAGEN was a friend of T.E.LAWRENCE and an arrogant imperialistic bastard of the highest order, but he was also an outrageous and fearless adventurer with balls of British steel. There are so many legends surrounding him I can't believe there hasn't been a film made about this guy!
THE STORY SO FAR....
Thank you so much for all your messages and comments. It's great to know the work I do is truly appreciated. It's all for you guys! As you'll have guessed I'm pretty busy most of the time, so I can't always reply to interview requests, read scripts or check out short films and such like. So please do not be offended if I don't respond.
Who I'd like to meet: I know you're supposed to say "people with similar interests" and such like but what the hell....
As a director based in the UK it can feel a little isolated sometimes. You rarely get to meet your peers, let alone have a few beers and talk about movies with them. The people I most want to meet are other film directors - people who clearly share the same passion as I do. Top of list would have to be the man who has inspired me the most - STEVEN SPIELBERG. I'd also love to meet JAMES CAMERON, RIDLEY SCOTT, JOHN CARPENTER, TERRY GILLIAM, SAM RAIMI, JOHN BOORMAN to name a few. There's also a few, now sadly ex-directors, I would have liked to have met, including HOWARD HAWKS, SAM PECKINPAH and JOHN FORD.
PS - Since first writing this, I've been lucky enough to meet, however briefly, JOHN CARPENTER, TERRY GILLIAM and most recently, RIDLEY SCOTT. Not bad! 3 down, 4 to go....

I realize that I am the 3billionth person to comment on this. But if everything comes together and dotted lines are signed. You would be a terrific director for Predators. I really mean that. As a fan of both you and Predator 1 and 2. I look at DogSoldiers,TheDescent,Doomsday and there is a genuine love for genre and story-telling there. And not only that but a respect for what has come before as well. And I think for a Predator film that is very much needed. Knock on wood, everything happens.
If any director deserves a shot at a PREDATOR movie it is you. Here's to returning the most badass alien hunter to the throne made of skulls!! CHEERS!!!
Oh rumour has it you might be going for the Predators gig, a thankless task, but if anyone can pull it off i think its you, ps dont let rodrigez bully you into CGIing the whole bloody thing lol
I’m not sure how to say this without it sounding like another one of those advertisements that get put on your page, but here it goes. I want to thank you for being a friend, fan and supporter of me and everything I do. Now it’s time to repay you the favor. On June 12, the Shifted2u TV Show goes global by launching, Shifted2u.com. I’d love for you to be part of the celebration, stop by the site, swing by my page and show me your Shifted Swagg!
