Intandem takes on "Carry on London" [ 17/05/2006 ]
CARRY ON TO DO IT FOR THE 32ND TIME
By Sherna Noah, PA Showbusiness Correspondent, in Cannes
Ex-EastEnder Shane Richie, Vinnie Jones and Victoria Silvstedt are set to star in a 32nd Carry On film, it was announced today. The movie, Carry On London, centres around a limousine company, Lennys Limos, hired to ferry celebrities to the Herberts, a fictitious version of the Oscars
in the capital.
Film-makers promise the usual Carry On ingredients of saucy humour, riotous slapstick and double entendres in the politically-incorrect movie.
The decision to bring Carry On back to life was first announced in 2003 but
hit financial problems. The original cast, which included Ex-EastEnders Danniella Westbrook and Shaun
Williamson, (Barry Evans), as well as It Girl Lady Isabella Hervey, dropped
out. Now the famous franchise is being re-launched with a new producer, writing
team, director and film company. Peter Richardson, best known for TV comedy The Comic Strip Presents..., is directing the #6.4 million feature film. Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels star and former footballer Jones, 41, plays London nightclub owner and gangster Tony Le Berc, known as two fingers Tony. Richie, 42, best known as Alfie Moon in EastEnders, has been cast as the lead character, limo company owner Lenny.
Swedish blonde and former Playboy Playmate of the Year Victoria Silvstedt, 31, plays a starlet being ferried to the awards ceremony. Other characters include scoundrel and magazine publisher Sir Desmond Uppingham Knightly and LA film boss I. P. Freely. The new cast was announced in Cannes in the run-up to the film festival, which opens tomorrow.
The last attempt to resurrect the Carry On franchise ended badly, with 1992s Carry on Columbus.
The film featured alternative comedians like Rik Mayall, Alexei Sayle and Julian Clary, alongside Carry On star Jim Dale. Barbara Windsor was said to have turned down a chance to star in the film
after reading the script. The movie was panned by critics and did not take off at the box office.
Now film-makers are keen to give the British stalwart another go, with an international cast to boost its profile abroad. A total of 30 Carry On films were made between 1958 and 1978 at the Pinewood studios, directed by Gerald Thomas. Carry Ons innuendo-laden humour and sending up of British institutions
reached a peak of popularity in the 1960s. The films, still today regularly screened on TV, established the careers of some of Britains best-loved comedy actors, including Kenneth Williams, Barbara Windsor, Sid James and Hattie Jacques. Carry On London will be shot in and around the capital and at Pinewood Shepperton Film Studios this summer.
Richie said: Like many people I grew up with the Carry On movies and was thrilled to be asked to star in the new film. The original films, packed with double entendres and hilarious comedy, kept us all laughing for over 30 years, so its a great honour not only to be asked to be part of the new film but also to be carrying on a wonderful tradition.
Im really looking forward to it, Matron! Jones said: Its great to be part of such a wonderful comedy tradition. It really kept me laughing through my youth so its great news that Im part
of that tradition and able to introduce it to my own kids.
Director Richardson said: Fans of the Carry On film around the world should be thrilled that this great British institution is returning in all its glorious vulgarity and will feature Britains best comic actors who are standing by to camp it up for all their worth. I am proud to be involved in such a politically incorrect and extremely funny film. Carry On creator Peter Rogers, 92, on board as the films executive producer, added: Here we go again.
The franchise is being re-launched by UK film company Intandem Films and British producer Chris Chrisafis, known for Where The Truth Lies, and The Count of Monte Cristo. Gary Smith, chief executive of Intandem Films, said: Carry On is such a
successful and powerful franchise. We believe that this film will certainly please the faithful fans but also appeal to a young new audience unfamiliar with the legacy of Carry On who simply
want to be entertained by a laugh-out-loud quality comedy.

Got a mention on my local radio station yesterday about the Carry on London movie. I am hoping this is going to turn IFM from a small company into something much larger. The slate of films on their website is quite impressive now.

BRUSSELS (AFX) - The European Commission said it has cleared the UK's film tax incentive scheme under aid rules.
The scheme, approved until the end of March 2012 on the basis of revised criteria, aims to use tax-based incentives to encourage filmmakers to produce cultural British films.
The aid takes the form of an enhanced tax deduction and a payable film tax credit.
UK authorities have undertaken to modify the film tax incentive scheme, if necessary, in accordance with any changes to the state aid rules in the audiovisual sector.
The total yearly budget for the UK film tax incentive amounts to 120 mln stg.

I think results are due from IFM in the next month or so. Hopefully we will have good sales from the AFM. 'And When' is due for release in the US soon and early next year 'Gallowwalker'.
IFM have also set up a section in the 'Specialist Auctions' website for film memorabilia. It has each film listed but is currently empty. Perhaps they will end up selling props etc in the future.

Intandem has 'Blown' funds for Fiennes [ 03/11/2007 ]
Filmmaker Martha Fiennes has enlisted U.K.-based sales and finance house Intandem Films to put together the financing on her $15 million-budgeted espionage thriller "Blown."
Fiennes, who directed "Chromophobia" and "Onegin," is gearing up to helm "Blown," which details the story of a ruthless MI5 agent working in the world of espionage.
Thandie Newton is attached to play a high-class call girl in the film, and Intandem is in talks with agencies to attract other talent.
Fiennes is working with producer Shani Hinton, who has worked on several Woody Allen movies.
Production is scheduled for second-quarter 2008.
Intandem CEO Gary Smith said packaging "Blown" elevates his company's ambition to grow into being "a major supplier of quality, commercial films."
Added Smith: "We are thrilled to be working with Martha, who is a really creative talent, and the cast that this project is attracting."

Intandem books strong AFM sales on How To Lose Friends [ 20/11/2007 ]
UK-based sales company Intandem Films has reported a strong level of sales done at the recent AFM.
Robert B Weide's How To Lose Friends And Alienate People, starring Kirsten Dunst and Simon Pegg, was sold to Germany (Concorde/Telemunchen), Italy (Mikado), Portugal (Lusomundo), Turkey (Sanat Ozen), Korea (MFI), Poland (Hagi) and Benelux (RCV).
Intandem also structured the finance for that project, now in post. Paramount Pictures International previously acquired rights for the UK, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
Stephen Woolley and Liz Karlsen produce for Number 9 Films, with financing from Aramid, Film 4 and the UK Film Council.
Also at AFM, Intandem announced it will handle sales for Rob Prior and Paul Jenkins' Tatua, working with producers Todd Breau and Kari Hollen and executive producer Martin Katz. The cast is being finalised, but the concept was strong enough to sell the project to Benelux (Bridge) and Portugal (Lusomundo).
Also being pre-sold, Intandem has Martha Fiennes' espionage thriller Blown, based on George Tiffin's script and with Thandie Newton attached. The project went to Portugal (Lusomundo) and Russia/CIS (Luxor).
Intandem director Andrew Brown said: "Despite this so-called industry malaise we have benefited from our best year yet at the AFM with 26 territory sales across our slate of major titles."
Intandem Director Billy Hurman added that How To Lose Friends was a particular highlight after its promo reel screenings at AFM. "The reaction we have had from all territories shows that it is a commercial film that translates into different cultures and therefore has formidable worldwide appeal," he said.
