Armando Iannucci, David Schneider And Pete Fellows In Forbidden Planet Last Night
Half term holidays means taking the kids out anywhere and everywhere. So if a trip to London's best playground, Coram's Field, happens to lead us past Forbidden Planet on Shaftesbury Avenue on the way back, and Armando Iannucci happens to be making a signing appearance there with David Schneider and Peter Fellows, to commemorate the launch of their new movie The Death Of Stalin, based on the French graphic novel by Fabien Nury and Thierry Robin that Titan Comics published earlier this year in English, well, why not pop in, and get a signed copy?
And while I'm there, share the memory of being in the audience twenty years ago for the Election Night Armistice from BBC 2 watching Armando and David, and what a surreal night that turned out to be…
The line snaked out around the back of the store…
The books were on display under posters from the movie. A movie cover softcover version will be out in January along with the sequel, Death To The Tsar.
The boys were getting busy…
Armando was getting chatty…
And even Samwell Tarly came out to get his book signed.
Well done all! Come back for the sequel!
And hey, if you never saw the Election Night Armistice, here's your chance! You too can be up for Portillo!
DEATH OF STALIN
(W) Fabien Nury (A) Thierry Robin, Lorien Aureyre
When the leader of the Soviet Union, Joseph Stalin, has a stroke, the political gears begin to turn, plunging the super-state into darkness, uncertainty and near civil war. Fear, corruption and treachery abound in this political satire set in the aftermath of Stalin's death in the Soviet Union in 1953. The struggle for supreme power will determine the fate of the nation and of the world. And it all really happened!In Shops: Jul 05, 2017
