Summer Seannanigans...

Okay, so Sean's been terribly boring this whole summer, well, almost this whole summer. I'm not going to go into the details as you can find plenty of that if you check out the related threads in the forums. We know he can be a naughty little rogue sometimes, and sometimes more than others. Isn't that one of the things that keeps us coming back here?

Red Riding Channel 4 : Drama trilogy based on novels by David Peace: 1974 directed by Julian Jarrold; 1980 directed by James Marsh, set at the time of the Yorkshire Ripper's murders; and 1983, directed by Anand Tucker. The cast includes Andrew Garfield as rookie crime reporter Eddie Dunford, Rebecca Hall as young widow Paula Garland, Sean Bean as property magnate John Dawson, Paddy Considine as Assistant Chief Constable Peter Hunter, Lesley Sharp as his wife Joan Hunter, David Morrissey as Detective Chief Superintendent Maurice Jobson and Mark Addy as John Piggott.

September 23rd is getting closer, so get those preorders in to Amazon for Far North on DVD. The reviews are excellent and Sean looks amazing:

Be sure to check out Sylvene's icon page in the Media section. There will be more additions to the Media section as I get permission from various people with works posted over in the forums. Creighton received some lovely behind-the-scenes Sharpe's Regiment pics from her favorite fella. So all you members stop by the forums and check them out, or join us if you aren't a member. There are a few odds and ends added to the Gallery, so check with Last Uploads.

Till next time, Beanofiles, keep the faith...Sable out.

Dog days of Summer...

Hey fellow Beanophiles, all is VERY quiet on the Bean front during these long, hot days of Summer. Sean seems to be taking a nice Summer holiday after a busy Spring . Hopefully we will hear soon what his next project is going to be.

Dates to mark on your calendar: September 23rd we can look forward to finally seeing Far North when the DVD is released. No definite date for the premiere of Sharpe's Peril yet, but Crusoe is still a go for October 17 on NBC.

The Sharpe Chefs, many who are Forums and Gallery members, have been busy with another successful Waterstones booksigning in Cheltenham on July 5th. Jason Salkey and Lyndon Davies were both in fine cheeky form, signing books and posing for pictures, along with a contingent from the 95th Rifles to keep everyone in line. Leggy kindly got us these pics from Jason:

Meanwhile, your Webmiss has been using these lazy days to keep on updating the website with lots of new film caps in the Gallery and new threads in the forums. Stop by and visit The Melting Pot where you can chat in a variety of languages with our International members or drop into Marty's Sports Grill to talk about football, cricket, or any sport that lights a passion in you. My particular new favorite thread is a continuing collection of hilarious captioned photos from the icanhascheezburger site. Thanks to Sharpes Havoc for starting that up and keeping us in stitches every Caturday. Also, established members will find new threads just for them in Paulie's Pub.

Beat the heat by staying indoors in your air-conditioned computer rooms while keeping your fingers in Olympic voting-form by frequently casting your votes at Best Actor Ever and Vanity Fair polls.

Ta for now, and be sure to wear that sunblock out in the Summer sun...

Bean's Been Busy...

Hey fellow Beanophiles...Sable here...lots of things have been happening in the Beaniverse;

Good news for Far North: the DVD will be released for sale on September 23rd, 2008. Visit Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk for ordering details.

Sharpe's Peril is scheduled to make its ITV debut on October 17, 2008. All you UK folks get those DVRs all programmed and ready. No word yet on a US showing. The DVD is anticipated in time for Christmas and the launch of Volume II of the Sharpe Chefs Cookbook Sharpe Chefs II: On Campaign will be right on its heels. Use the Quicklink on the right to visit the announcement poster.

Sean finished filming his role as James Crusoe in the NBC telly series Crusoe at the York locations. Visit the Gallery for some lovely pics of him on set in costume. Big thanks to Templa Otmena at LiveJournal and gm_coates at Flickr for those.

Ever the football fanatic, Sean rewarded his hard work with a ramble off to Derry in Ireland with his mate, author Gary Armstrong, to watch a match at the Brandywell Football Stadium. Nice pictures over in the gallery from his visit. Visit the forums to find links and downloads for the video interviews that he did while he was there.

The Gallery now has full sets of Sean screencaps for the Sharpe films thru Waterloo as well as Anna Karenina, Bravo Two Zero, and Equilibrium. The forums have had a bit of a facelift with the implementation of a different banner for each of the colour themes. Lots of new smilies are available and several new threads have opened, one being the Gentlemen's Club, a special presentation from Kimmy for all of our male members.

That's all the news for now. Ta till next time...

A bit of news...

Sable here...sorry its been a while, but then Sean hasn't been doing anything more than working, working, working and that means he's been a dull boy. I'm sure he'll get in some play time when he goes with his mate Gary Armstrong to a very special footie event next month. You know how he loves his footie. Details in the Yorkshire Post article over in Bean News on the Forums.

Sharpe's Peril is now finished with location shooting and is in the post-production stage. Certainly John Tams and Dominik Muldowney are hard at work, producing another splendid Sharpe musical score for us.

Check out the Gallery for new pics of Sean at work on location in York on the NBC television series Crusoe. We do know he's not playing the Crusoe part and so far no details have turned up on his involvement. Check back here for details as we ferret them out. The series is due to be aired in the Fall in the US. A UK airing is planned but no details on that either.

Also in the Gallery are pics taken by the splendid makeup artiste, Jamie Weiss, who worked on Sean's makeup transformation for his role(s) in The Root Of All Evil. Don't be scared, its just makeup.

Be sure to stop by The Chatterley Sit down and talk a spell. You never know who you might run into there.

Lots of goodies...

Sable here...staying busy with new things for our site. If you hadn't noticed, there is a new banner for some of the pages as well as a few colour changes. There was an upgrade made to the Gallery, but it should be invisible to you. Please let me know if anything is hosed up so I can get technical support right to work on it. By the way, the Gallery is now up to 7795 pics now what with the addition of caps of Sharpe films up thru Regiment. The rest are scheduled to be added over the next couple of weeks, then I'll move on to some of Sean's other stellar performances. Also, there are a few wedding pics up now.

Over on the Forums, the Calendar is up and running and members can now post events and see a corresponding post down in the Celebrations section.

The fabulous Sylvene has made it possible for us to have a Chat room. Soon, you will see a link to it at the top of the forum. We are currently taking nominations for a name for it. Starting on Tuesday, we will be running a poll to select from the nominations. The poll will run for 3 days.

And Sean, should you happen to stop by here, all of us here on the SBO staff hope you had a lovely birthday last Thursday and weren't too knackered from your return trip from India and the grueling shooting schedule they put you through these past weeks. By the way, on Thursday, we all raised glasses in a toast to wish you the fullfillment of all your hopes, wishes and dreams and we dearly hope you keep on sharing your awesome talent with us for many years to come.
