News: Robbie Stamp and Stampbros goes forth!
|
By: The Duke of Dunstable |
Our friend Robbie Stamp is recovering nicely from his recent illness. During his convalescence his brother Jonathan has held the Stamp flags high. Their production company has submitted a draft that has been very well received indeed by the studio; in fact, they have even signed a director. There is also another story being written.
I am not sure how much I am at liberty to reveal about all this, so I won't say anymore a about it for now, other than that one story is a sort of epic historical drama and is based on a greek legend and one will probably appeal to any Indiana Jones fan.
Stay tuned for more updates on this soon. Maybe time to get Robbie back in the comfy VIP DAC chat chair again soon. |
