Bring Back Fame with Justin Lee Collins

While searching the internet as I do regularly to find the latest Fame news, I came across an interview with Justin Lee Collins, who presented the Bring Back Fame show at the end of last year and he mentions a couple of the fame interviews.

When asked which interview had been the most fun justin said:

"Lee Curreri, who played Bruno Martelli in Fame, he was a lovely guy. I could quite easily spend all day with him."

This is interesting because in the show Lee didn't seemed quite reluctant to do the interview at first. Althoygh I always felt that reaction was a little staged as it seemed out of character for Lee.

However, more interesting, when asked who’s been the toughest interviewee? Justin said:

"There was a tough one in Bring Back Fame, when I managed to track down Erica Gimpel, who played Coco Hernandez. That was quite a difficult interview. Some people are always less willing to talk about the past than others."

Now in the show they seemed to get on really well and Erica seemed happy and lots of fun! I guess you never can tell.

Further DVD Art Work announced

Here are the individual covers for the season 1 & 2 cases in the new Region One Fame DVD boxset due for release on 15th September. Featuring Gene & Erica on the covers. I'm really loving the designs and am getting more excited about the release. I really hope we are going to get all the other seasons released and all the art work ties in with the same theme. Who would feature on the future releases? Really it should be Valerie and Carlo but are there any action poses like these ones for them. I hope so!

Reg 1DVD Season 1 & 2 Artwork announced

The artwork for the new season 1 & 2 DVD boxset has been announced.

Looking similar to artwork for the re-release of the original movie and for the new remake film this new boxset focuses on Debbie Allen as she is the link between the original movie, TV Series and the remake. I have to say I'm impressed and really like it.

I never liked the artwork for the original region 1 season 1 boxset and thought the Region 2 version was far superior but this works wll and makes the set look exciting.

Fingers crossed that it sells well so that the other seasons are released too.

To comment on the new artwork go to the forum:
