Hi GANG! Never say never! Please pray as I do for me to be in Scotland by September's end. Nothing definite yet though I do have UK and Canadian representatives who fight the fight daily for me. . I wanted you to know that ROBERT BURNS is finished and his "package" is being sent out to many financiers & UK production companies. We've had many "bites" and Toby Stephens agents are interested. He portrayed "Rochester" in the 2006 BBC production of JANE EYRE. His mother is Dame Maggie Smith and wife is also an actress, Anna Louise Plowman. She starred in STARGATE:SG1 as Daniel's love interest turned Ga'old. (Spelling is more than likely wrong.) Much love to you all~ Janet "the Other Scot"

Sara! Keep watching this thread and we shall see but remember... "Dreams come true! PRAYERS HAPPEN!" Janet "the Other Scot"

Rose, one of my true blue but red in this case friends! Thank you for the poster copy. I wish that we could have sold him for charity. We will one of our own! Thanks! Janet, "the Other Scot"

Janet grins and is GONE! The main Scot is on! Cheers! Janet "the Other Scot"

Beejay, I don't need "go-fer's" but I will need FRIENDS in one capacity or another, I'm sure! Thank you for the acknowledgement of achievement in itself to not only write a screenplay but REGISTER this "puppy," nickname of "Luath," with the WGA! My Friends who shall share in the excitement of our achievement in the end makes it worth the fight to there! "Sibbaldi the Great" and I speak daily! This weekend we put the finished touches on "bouncing baby boy" in order to deliver WITHOUT a "C" section... :yippee: ROBERT BURNS to The Powers That Be! I need your extra prayers and great thoughts as we head toward the deadline. It is with GREAT HONOR I share these events with my GALSfriends! :yippee: Rebekah, thank you for the prayers and Rose thank you, as always for being my UNofficial PR person! For those who didn't see our "fantasy ROBERT BURNS" here is my copy. :inlove: Unfortunately, I didn't get the FINAL verision with Robert's true signature at the top. This is the only one I have. REMEMBER, he is NOT for sale nor is this image based on any photo, to my knowledge. This one is for you Beejay! My greatest of love to all the GALS! Cheers! Janet

Dear Slowleak, It is noted and as soon as I hear anything about GB for this part I shall let you know. Have NOT forgotten! Cheers! Janet

Hello GALS! Checking in to let all my GALSfriends here know that I am still alive and well. Very haggard at the moment as the final touches go onto the ROBERT BURNS screenplay BEFORE it heads through official means to GB the first weeks of August but ONLY after the approval of my manager! She has the final say so but I assure all that this one is supported in full by a major, true Scot Burnsian, David Sibbald. I promise to deliver a genius script and one of which all of you will be proud! This does NOT mean that Gerard is obligated or anything else. RB, isn't that cool? By next year, in God's will, my screenplay may have the same status as POTO, JOTS,D2K, etc. Gerard's "passion" is to portray Robert Burns. To date his dream is associated with TWO productions. Daily I pray that this happens for him. Of course, I want him to be MY "Robert!" As a professional screenwriter I want the best man to portray the Immortal. Gerard Butler is him! I am sorry our beautiful Gerry fantasy poster that Linda, Rose and other lovelies put into it with Robert's true signature attached and RED, RED ROSE behind it can NO longer be sold for Gerard's charity KIDS KICKING CANCER. I pray that perhaps with HIS permission one day it shall be back up for sale. Thank you for your continued prayers on the screenplay ROBERT BURNS. This GALS site is incredible and I salute all of you my true friends and soon to be "cohorts" in Burnsian glee. I love all of you! Thank you for your support in both prayers and great thoughts! Cheers! Janet

Boy did they hit my favorite Gerard Butler character to date for me! Robert Burns shall be the all time winner! Here is what they said. The picture didn't show up, darn it! "ANDRE MAREK - of Timeline would be a most perfect match for you. Get ready for quiet, cuddly evening filled with passion." Here is to Andre Marek. He definitely in my TIMELINE chart! Thanks for the net quiz! Cheers! Janet "the Other Scot"

I saved that one to my Gerard Butler 2007 file! For fun, I plan to blow it up, with your permission, and have it made into a full size poster. We will put it at the front of the film studio in Glasgow! I'm sure that Gerard gets a kick out of it...I shall let ya'll know EXACTLY when he agrees to portray my Robbie! Thanks for the share! To Sammy's Mom...yeah, I feel Gerard makes a great looking Robbie also! Inspirational, ain't he? Cheers! Janet "the Other Scot"

That one looks fantastic! The true Robert Burns signature will on the TITLE PAGE of my script and it is already approved to be used for the true film poster. Your's look FAN-tastic! Keep them coming, GALS! Cheers! Janet "the Other Scot"
