then they burn it.

They don't even sail it for, say, a few minutes? They just burn the thing? This is sounding more and more like a Python sketch.

Thats not all! You should see the fire balls, they walk down the streets swinging these huge fire balls over their heads, all while heavily alcohol laden in fact they drink so much during Up Helly Aa they have to close the whole island down for two days so they can get over their hangovers.

I know about films that has been shot in 2-3 weeks. Don't know if that will be possible with this though... Maybe he'll just take a break for a couple of days?

I think that depends on how much he's going to be in it.

Lucky Shetlanders...

Here's the program. So far, after speeding through, I see they are going to show. Skeletons, Scars, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and The Curse of Steptoe. Q&A with Jason Isaacs after Scars and Harry Potter. He will introduce Skeletons with Mark Kermode.
Harry Potter is on Sept 4, the rest on September 5.

Wow. Wish I could be there. Hope to be able to see 'Scars' someday. Period.

Thanks, Thunder!

Thanks to everyone for sharing Jason news and pictures, as usual.

Sounds like a good collection of Jasons work. Wish we could all be there.

I say, he leads a varied and interesting life.

DANG!!! I was in England last September! I should have waited until this year and gone to Shetland!!!

Thanks thunder, for the program!

Jeez, it's the "Mark Kermode and Jason Isaacs FilmFest"!!
Sorry I won't be there--between the skiffling and the Skeletons, sounds like quite the shebang!

It is indeed a Jason filled program for the festival. I'm sure Jason will cringe to see himself on screen so much LOL.

Hooroo,
