More about Crystallised Beauty

We blogged earlier about Crystallised Beauty, the music in the Austen Season teaser trailer, and our research attracted the notice of the composer himself! Mr. Phillip Sheppard has kindly provided the links to his official web site and his MySpace Music page, where you can listen to more of his compositions, view his concert schedule, learn about other films in which his music features, and more. Anybody who is interested in getting a copy of Crystallised Beauty may contact him through those sites and he will try to get the track to them if possible.

Many thanks to Mr. Sheppard for his help!

ITV Entertainment has an interview with James McAvoy, who seems to be confused between fact and Made Up Story.

She did have a relationship with a young man and she did get excited about the prospects of their future. Things like all the letters and correspondents he sent her during their relationship were destroyed which asks the question, ‘what was in those letters that had to be destroyed?’

Napoleon’s plan for invading England? The Colonel’s Secret Recipe? The secret to nuclear fusion? Hey, any of those are as likely as the actual existence of such letters. (more…)
