Sorry for the lack of updates, but Joe has been MIA!

Since Pretty/Hansome isn’t going to air, I decided it was time to finally post the screencaptures I made of the pilot episode, which leaked on the internet a while ago. I’ve added a total of 586 captures. Follow the link to see them:

It has been reported that Joseph attended a somewhat prestigious event last night (July 31st): the Rushes Soho Shorts festival awards. The ceremony took place at Café de Paris in London, and was hosted by Terry Christian. Joe was a presenter, as well as Jaime Winstone, Jaye Griffiths, Magenta Devine and award-winning director Tim Pope. (Source)

“I’ve been riding since the age of 16, but only got my full licence about three years ago,” he said. “I love the new BMWs and was really intrigued by them — especially the technical brilliance, wizardry and German engineering. I’m really excited about this bike and am looking forwards to getting out of town on it. I’ve got a couple of friends and we’re intent on touring the north of Italy and riding across the Alps into Switzerland. We’d also like to ride around the British Isles, which would be a great way to discover my own ‘back yard’.”

Although he comes from a large and successful family — Joseph is the brother to actor Ralph Fiennes and cousin to Sir Ranulph Fiennes (described in the Guinness Book of Records as “the world’s greatest living explorer”) — the 38-year-old is the only motorcyclist in his family, despite having five brothers and sisters. He certainly shares a sense of adventure with Sir Ranulph though, having travelled extensively in Africa, India and the far east, and he has the utmost respect for fellow actors Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman and their Long Way Round achievements to date.

Joseph might be involved in a new film project! According to Buzzle.com, the movie, to be directed by Russian Oscar-nominated filmmaker Aleksei Uchitel under the title of The Churchill Houses, focuses on two fictitious love stories which take place at the Chuchill House, that is, the availability of high-profile prostitutes to British sailors on their 1,600-mile voyage to Murmansk. Check this out:

Joseph Fiennes and Jacqueline Bisset, both long-standing friends of Uchitel, have expressed an interest in starring in the film, which will be the first Russian production to be made in English. John Malkovich, Tilda Swinton and Russia’s most famous actor Evegeny Mironov have also been approached to appear in the film - which has a working title of The Churchill Houses

Uchitel refuses to say which characters the actors might play but admits the plot is already proving controversial.

The script was written by another Russian, Aleksander Rogozhkin, who uncovered the story while studying Soviet navy archives eight years ago.

Uchitel’s film centres on two fictitious love affairs at the real-life international Churchill House, or Interklub, in the main square in Murmansk. One romance is between a British naval officer and a 16-year-old girl working at the club, while the other involves a Russian submarine captain and an older prostitute.

Sorry for the lack of updates around here, you guys! It’s just that Joseph has been kind of quiet… Since there’s nothing new to report, I decided to update the site with a few icons made by me and my friend Renato. You can see them all by clicking here. Here are some previews:

It’s the end of the road for Ryan Murphy’s transsexual drama “Pretty/Handsome.”

The controversial project, exec produced by Murphy, Brad Pitt and Dede Gardner, was developed for FX, which ordered it to pilot starring Joseph Fiennes as a family man who decides to get a sex change.

The pilot, which co-starred Blythe Danner, Robert Wagner and Christopher Egan, created strong buzz around town, but in March, FX passed on it.

Around the same time, Egan landed the lead in NBC’s new series “Kings.”

“Pretty/Handsome” producer 20th Century Fox TV shopped the project to other outlets but was unsuccessful.
