Mike Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 film watch 2008 is the count still at only 3 films planned? has there been any more words on the latest one annouced ? the one with a tv producer in charge and so far a cast feat russ w as a bouncer? anyway seems the second one annouced "function at the junction" is fairly solid Ex-Libertine Barat revealed he and drinking buddy Ronson are working on a track for a forthcoming movie about the Northern Soul phenomenon. Barat revealed he is a recent convert to the genre, though he has also loved soul legend Jackie Wilson. from https://itn.co.uk/news/09b1e36d91202e05fb2e355618e30904.html video there names function as the film know more ? feel free to add Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Bogue Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Thought it read 'Borat' when i read this, the 'ex Libertines' bit meant nothing to me (not up on the chart stuff these days ) Nearly choked on me cocoa But then again.........it could be a bit of casting genious !! Swap the shirt & tie for a Fred Perry & this could easily pass for a punter on his way to Wigan early 80's Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 nope same title but this is one that has Sadie Frost and Rhys Irfan annouced as cast was on front page a week or two ago https://www.soul-source.co.uk/rare-northern...rost-rhys-ifans I posted this reply when several weeks ago , when Mike first brought it to our notice ...... I have attempted to have a dig around concerning this , but to no avail ...... Brought to our attention by yourself Mike , this attempt to bring the SWONS - again - to the big screen , is stated to have a working title of " Function At The Junction " , which has got me thinking as to whether this upcoming - if it ever materialises - cinematic treat , will be a reworking of the TV short of the same name , that was aired in 2002 , featuring Steve Cato ........ If it is to be a reworking of " FATJ " , and if Rhys Ifans is to be involved , let us hope that it will be in the role of the DJ , which was played in the "FATJ " by the irretating / talentless Paul Kaye ( which we know , was a thinly disguised Soul Sam ) , and if this be the case , it must be ensured that RI combines his portrayals of previous characters Jeremy Lewis ( Twin Town ) and Tall Paul ( Kevin and Perry Go Large ) , in order to make it work ....... Interesting if it is / happens , but I doubt if I will lose sleep in the meantime , waiting for developments / news ........ Malc Burton Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Sunnysoul Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 It's staggering that - after all this time - the international movie industry has still yet to make a major motion picture either directly based on the Northern Soul scene or at least using the scene as the basis or backdrop (pardon the pun) for a movie. And I've always suspected that is due to the defining characteristic that is unique only to the Northern Soul scene like no other ... which is for the last 40 years whenever the outside / commercial world has taken one step towards the Northern Soul scene, the scene has then promptly taken two steps in the opposite direction with the middle finger firmly raised ....

Do you really think the production team had heard of or ever seen soul sam .. I will ask the producer/director though out of interest.. I liked the part played by Paul Kaye, as did many others but i can see how he pissed a few off also Thanks for bringing this news of FATJ to my attention... Its been a long time coming...

Modernsoulsucks Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Will there be any vampires as being open all night we obviously had quite a few in. That part of the scene has always been glossed over by those who went and I'll probably get it in the neck for bringing it up now. I think this would widen the film's appeal especially if you throw in some gratuitous nudity. Jane that is,as I have no wish to see Joe's dangly bits.

Little-stevie Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 (edited) SOULED OUT, a project so long in development that maybe many out there had thought it was never going to happen, starts shooting in Stoke on August 19th. Starring Martin Compston, Nichola Burley, Felicity Jones, Alfie Allen and Pat Shortt, it's directed by Shimmy Marcus and is planned for a summer '09 release. And wait 'til you see those flares! I'll keep dropping by with updates, but more info can be found on Ipso Facto films' website. Cheers, Jeff Williams, Writer, Souled Out. Is this not a different topic title ... I did not see souled out in the topic title.. Just start your own thread or people could get confused... You can drop in my freind with info, just do it in your own topic.... I think thats the rules on here .. You could also introduce yourself in the new members section, its always nice to know a thing or two about new members...

Modernsoulsucks Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I see the vampire angle is not to be then. What about an allegory for the ill-fated invasion of Iraq? Russ had a tash and so did Saddam.I don't think Russ had anyone killed though. Also the Beachcomber cafe conjures up in my mind the image of sand and I knew a guy at Wigan called Derek whose name could be changed to Derrick so that's the oil sorted. Jane could wear a tank top. G.I. Joe obviously. Needs a bit of tweaking yet to get Ken Loach interested. ROD Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

kathdj Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Well obviously a starring role for me and my daughter - I have danced with Carl Barat at a wedding and Mark Ronson tried to steal my daughter's wellies at Wakestock last year.

Peter99 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I'm confused. As I'm a bit simple can someone just bullet point what films are planned - it sounds like three? And what is the tv short featuring the bloke on speed? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Reg Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I'm confused. As I'm a bit simple can someone just bullet point what films are planned - it sounds like three? And what is the tv short featuring the bloke on speed? The short film Function at the junction is the one with the bloke on speed..it's the actor who played Cracker's son...been in loads of stuff, forgotten his name. Mr Cato is in it with a huge afro They are now doing a full length feature based on this. Then there's the other film Souled out mentioned by JeffW above-he's the writer I think Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Mike Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 think may be better if have an go at being organised later on and start 2 or 3 threads one for each film ie one for "function at junction" one for "souled out" and maybe one for the unnamed one if get any more info on that posted will move the relevant posts and all that in a bit as seems there's a few members involved in the various projects and sure it be of interest (and maybe clear up some of the confusion ) as said feel free to post up Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

That's a different one again Function in the Junction(short) was released on dvd with a documentary called Soul Function and Steve played one of the dancers in a competition . That's the one with Paul Kaye as the dj and the speed freak The one on the train with just Steve travelling to London was a three minute thing for Channel 4 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Modernsoulsucks Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 "The plot looks riveting" I checked it out yesterday. My thoughts exactly,Paul. I can't imagine that the Northern scene is that interesting to an outsider or that we are that narcissistic that we'd put up with any old derivative tosh ["Dirty Dancing" and "Save the last dance" spring to mind] just to see ourselves reflected on the screen. I caught that "Function..." short at the time and to me it was extremely vacuous and amateur. Sometimes see the actor outta "Brookside in our local Sainsbury's and I keep meaning to go up and ask him WTF it was all about!!!! Still think the vampire angle is the way to go and there's plenty of undead extras available at your local modern soul night. ROD Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
