Halloween has to be my favorite time of year and a great time to haul out the DVD "Dog Soldiers". I bought the DVD from Amazon and it has some awesome special features, plus an interview with Kevin McKidd. Amazon also available is the soundtrack

Dog Soldiers (2002)
Six soldiers. Full moon. No chance ...  Personally I wouldn't classify this as a true horror, it needs its own Genre (a new breed of horror), make no mistake I got a fair amount of scares but at the same time they were well balanced by a good amount of laughs.  Probably for the first time we see some really believable werewolves, our characters are well defined and its all followed up by a superbly written witty script.  Kevin as awesome as ever in the role of Pvt Cooper truly a must for any avid fan.

Sequel Rumours
There was talk of a Sequel call "Fresh meat," however it was not going to be written and directed by Neil Marshall. Kevin's character Pvt Cooper was to be a part of the storyline.  When we asked Kevin about this production he confirmed to us that this Sequel is not going to happen (see Updates).

I found a few intersting things while searching on the Net and wanted to share them with you

Set Production : the exteriour set was built on location in Luxemborg, the interor was constucted in the studio.  Here are some photos of the set, with full explaination
Megan: Whats the glue for?
Cooper: Ever wondered why the best thing that superglue sticks
  together is your fingers? Forget your grandmas china cups - this
  stuff was developed for the Vietnam war to patch up broken
  Soldiers

ever wondered if this was true read here

Kevin McKidd also worked well as the hero.

Kevin was totally bowled over that we offered him this, as he normally plays serious parts. His agent said, "You don't want to do anything daft like a werewolf movie", but he said he quite fancied it as it could be fun, so his attitude was just perfect from the start. He was a dream to work with, like Sean.
Lots, lots more up on our forum

take care

If you are a fan of Dog Soldiers, there will be a Neil Marshall screening of his classics and panel discussions during Frightfest in London on May 3rd.  Tickets are still available.  See this link for full details!http://www.frightfest.co.uk/doomsdayday.html

 
Update 11/09/2007
 

Added 3 articles, "Vice City" link (look for Kevin near the end of the behind-the-scenes session work), 3 different audios mp3s, and partially completed our new gallery pages.

Decided to link to a public format that will allow people to save screenshots they like for their own personal use. We will be premiering at least 4 more albums once these are to our satisfaction.  These will be primarily screenshots and mainstream photos, while copyrighted photos will be kept separate or used on the main pages here with full attribution and credit listed.

More photos still rolling in so expect further updates in the coming month. My personal favorites are a few candids you may not have seen! 

We're still hard at work; don't mind the re-construction!

 
 

In the process of doing some remodeling as we continue to provide more information--if you tried visiting the site earlier today, that would explain the error message. We took the site down for a quick maintenance, in order to refresh the multimedia section and check dead links. This will rarely happen, as we'll keep the site published even when updating at this point.  More articles coming as well, including one from Scotland that's especially interesting but still en route, and a more expansive gallery section in store as soon as we find the proper place with enough bandwidth to support it all.

Also thank you to those that have been sending such positive notes or offering advice/asking questions via the contact page--very cool, since we're not linked through any major search engine as yet and relying solely on word of mouth for a few weeks until the search sites claim us! 


New additions today:

--3 more news articles

--A few new photos in our main pages (not the Gallery)

--Updated Kevin's Management and Fan mail contact information

   (Note: If you send photos to be signed, send an envelope with SASE and carboard to protect the photos)

--Revamped the multimedia section, including many more links to trailers with Kevin in the forefront or in an ensemble piece. We've left out official trailers for The Last Legion and Kingdom of Heaven thus far since Kevin appears in them for only a very brief glimpse, if at all.  We just had to throw in Dog Soldiers on today of all days though!

The photo gallery upgrade will come soon, we hope. We like to secure allowances from photographers for works/art not already in the mainstream before using their photos at this site, which takes a little more time and involvement. In the meantime, please check out the "Links" section for further sites and sources relevant to Kevin, his heritage, and/or the art of acting....There is a method to our madness! Mwuhahaha...

Happy Halloween and see you on the flipside....
