6.30 pm – Back in New York, Gabriel Byrne is a special guest reader at the Poetry & The Creative Mind Gala at the Lincoln Center. This event, promoted by the Academy of American Poets, celebrates contemporary poetry in American culture and and kicks off National Poetry Month. Other special guests for 2010 include Meryl Streep, Jhumpa Lahiri, Matt Dillon, Alan Cumming, Rosanne Cash and Frank Bidart. Thanks to Lozzie for the alert on this!

We also received an update on At Swim-Two-Birds via Colin Farrell, in a recent interview for the IrishTimes [this article is now behind a paywall]:

You’d be terrified to say it will definitely happen,” he says. “It’s very hard for films that don’t have special effects and have a literary core. Few films have more of a literary core than this. We tried to get it made in March, but the money wasn’t there. So, we’re hoping to get it together in the summer.

Last but not least, some good news as I, Anna moves forward into pre-production status! Screen International at Berlin, February 14, 2010 has a nice blurb about the film, noting that it is the debut feature of Barnaby Southcombe, Charlotte Rampling’s son, and that Gabriel Byrne has also signed up to the project, which is the first from Southcombe and producer Felix Vossen’s London-based production company Embargo Films.

Now you might expect that getting your mom to work on your first project would be an easy thing to accomplish, but Barnaby says no. “It is a risky proposition for her. She had no idea I was planning this. I just sent her the screenplay and luckily it really spoke to her.”

Lucky for us, too!

  1. Wow, so many news about Gabriel now. He is a busy man, and I am very happy about that. It can never be enough Gabriel Byrne events in the world. Wish I lived in USA so I could attend some of the events.
    Thanks for sharing all the news!

  2. So good to see Gabriel back on the news for all the right reasons, and not because of Santa Claus or weirdo Catholic priests. And I absolutely love the graphic of the GB tracking system.

        Dear Stella, thanks for your great work on the site! I tried to register at the forum 3 times and every time received the answer “marked as spam” though all was correct. Actually I want to receive the answer to the 3 questions and it is all. My first question as at the girl from Paris – I want to watch very much movies “Stories from home” + still “The lark in the clear air”/ The lark in the clear sky” and to read the book “Pictures In My Head”. Who can tell me, where it is possible to download or to watch on-line it all?
        Best regards from Moscow :)

        • Sorry, Anna! Don’t know what happened to your forum registration. Please do try again! I’ll email you directly about your other questions.
