Gold Dust Woman Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Yes, thanks for the link Sav. I know a lot of girls who are going to be stoked about this. I don't know squat about Robert Burns but I'm sure it will be an interesting movie. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rendita Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 (edited) I just saw that article a few minutes ago. Hope it's finally true!! Ren Edited January 25, 2009 by Rendita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasharose Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 OMG, if this is true, 2009 REALLY is Gerry's year! I wonder if Evil Twins is involved? This is just spectacular. I didn't think it would ever happen. I just figured it would be too limited in interest. But it looks like Bonnie Scotland just may be rising to the occasion. Hey, Gerry, is Outlander possible too? Then I really could die and go to heaven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xan Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I just read a notice that Burns is to start filming this year starring.......................James McAvoy!!! JUST KIDDING! The Times Online says it stars..................Gerard Butler!!!! Could it be true? I got so excited when I read this. Apparently, the money is in place. Oh, I so hope this is true.

ladyfran Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Yes it's true...I don't think all the funding is there yet but it sounds like they expect it to be by the time they start filming! It is AWESOME news!! Frannie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xan Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Yes it's true...I don't think all the funding is there yet but it sounds like they expect it to be by the time they start filming! It is AWESOME news!! Frannie I was hoping it would be done by Burns' birthday this year, but I will take whatever I can get as long as it gets made and GB is the star. I have got every part of my body crossed that can be crossed. I need to see GB in one of those pirate shirts like he wore in Phantom.

Sasharose Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Yes!! There is another thread here someplace that gives the link to the article. As I said there, if this is real, 2009 is Gerry's year. Imagine, the government of Scotland is getting involved to raise funds to make this happen. Gerard Butler - superstar. Even if it's not a huge box office hit, Gerry forever will be part of the history of Scotland. God love him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewie Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Yay!!!! So excited. It's funny cause I was just talking to my mom this afternoon about how they were trying to get this film made. We were already talking about Burns since tomorrow is his birthday. It's kinda freaky to come on here and there be news...but GREAT news...hehe! I guess it would be wishful thinking to hope they'll be filming by April when I'm in Scotland huh? LOL. I'm actually waiting to get a Rabbie Burns book from my Nana. I was my great-grandfathers and his father sent it to him after he moved to Canada from Edinburgh to remember home(It was my grandpa's prized possesion since it was the only thing he got from his father when he died). I know it was sent to him in 1911 but I believe the version of the book is older than that. That was the book that made me first know of Burns when I was little so I'm very excited my nana is giving it to me. I think she knows I'll treasure it the most, I just have to make the trek to see her cause she's afaid to mail it, which I understand. Okay sorry for babbling and going sorta off topic, the news just made me think of it Yay for Gerry!!! Brianne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas gramma Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Awww, James Cosmo is producing. He almost stole "One More Kiss" from Gerry in the role of Frank. We all loved Frank - next to Gerry, he was the best thing in that movie!! I am so thrilled to see Burns is finally getting made and with our Gerry as star. It's going to be fantastic! (I wonder if they will be filming in August. We'll be in Edinburgh then!) Suzie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasharose Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Stewie, The story of that book is wonderful. I'm into geneology of my family right now. That is so inspiring. I wish I had roots in Scotland, but from what I've ferreted out we're from London. My great-great grandma came over here as a nanny. We were definitely Anglican. I visited West Minster Abby last summer. I just loved it. My daughter felt it was creepy. 'Too many dead people in here,' she said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess it won't be official until we hear it from the G man himself. Dearest Gerry, I promise to never ask anything of you again, if you will just do this film.

Xan Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Hey, Gerry, is Outlander possible too? Then I really could die and go to heaven. I'd be right there with you! The ultimate fantasy for me. Regardless whether he ever plays Jamie, he is always who I see when I picture Jamie Fraser in my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
