Talking of Hammers and Tongs

(UPDATE: I've covered of Son of Rambow further in a newer entry)

On the subject of genius "Milkman" Garth Jennings, as we were (at least if you read these things in chronological order - ie; bottom up), there's some very good news.

Apparently the French sales house Celluloid Dreams are to co-finance and sell distribution rights to Son of Rambow, Jenning's upcoming second film, following The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The 80's-set story seems to be about a couple of young kids trying to remake Rambo with their video cameras when everything turns a little Lord of the Flies. A "Vietnam War of the Buttons", maybe?

Son of Rambow is only a working title, you'll be relieved to hear. At least the copyright-issue-dodging "W" will go, I'd reckon.
