A new British film opens on Friday October 3rd, called "Bright Young Things". Marking comedian and writer Stephen Fry's film directorial debut, it is said to be an inventive adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's novel Vile Bodies. And it includes Nick Mason's professional drama debut!

The organisers of the forthcoming Pink Floyd Interstellar exhibition, being held in Paris from next month, have revealed to Brain Damage more details.

A new Italian film, which looks at the 1978 kidnapping and murder of Prime Minister Aldo Moro by Marxist extremists, has been released this month to great critical praise at the Venice Film Festival.

The film, "Buongiorno, Notte" ("Good Morning, Night"), directed by Marco Bellocchio, has a soundtrack which almost exclusively consists of the Pink Floyd album "Wish You Were Here". The director said that he used their music "to symbolise the desperation and rebellion of those years".

The film started screening in Italian cinemas on September 5th, and has already done good business at the box office. It has also been shown at a film festival in Canada, to acclaim. Our thanks to Massimiliano for letting us know about this film.

Former Van Halen and Extreme singer Gary Cherone will spend the next few months starring in a small community musical version of Pink Floyd's The Wall in Wisconsin, reports Australian music news site Undercover.com.au in their news pages. Cherone, who left Van Halen in 1998 after the disastrous Van Halen III album, was their third singer, taking over from David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar. He was previously lead singer for Extreme, who had a hit with "More Than Words" in 1991.

He will play Pink, the starring role Bob Geldof played in the movie. The show will premiere at The Schauer Arts and Activities Center in Hartford, WI, USA on November 29th, and will then play the Scottish Rite in Milwaukee from January 22nd - February 1st, 2004.
