TIM DALKEY SCENE SNIPPET

This is from the 2006 cut.
I've put it up because its such a great performance from Michael Greco. This is the scene we have been desperately trying to 'save'. Here Michael gives what we call the 'stupid' speech, and it captures perfectly the torment inside the STEVE LYNCH character at this moment in the day.

TIM DALKEY LIVES!!

Mark Wilson as 'Tim Dalkey', Francesca Stone as 'Kitten'

Jeremy has come up with a possible way of rescuing the Tim Dalkey scene, by placing the emphasis of the scene on a different theme than it was originally. 

This is fantastic news. The character Tim Dalkey has existed since the original co-op writing sessions of early 2004. At those meetings, myself, Lawrence Scott, Rebecca Denton and Jeremy Henman threw out scene ideas based on the loose framework of the Steve Lynch story. 

Tim Dalkey, a close friend of Steve's wife Olivia, was there from almost Page 1. 

Originally gay and living in an Islington loft (shot in 2004 complete with exposed cock shot) by 2005 he had become virulently heterosexual and was now in a club he owned in Shoreditch. Its a fluid world. 

Both times he was played brilliantly by Mark Wilson, who had just come off a small part in 'Closer'. 

Saving at least part of this scene will also preserve some of Michael Greco's best work on the film.

Ok, we're busy.....

and film's a visual medium right? So more set pics.

Jonas Mortensen and friend: the incomparable Francesca Stone.

These two pics were taken at the ill-fated Tim Dalkey scene (that character was cut from the film to make way for Colin Salmon's 'Ralph'). It was a terrific shoot, with actor Mark Wilson and a cast of great girls supposedly lounging after a heavy debauch. 

Michael Greco gave some of his best work that day.  In the way of these things, it will never be part of the finished film.
