Rumours are coming out of certain circles that the Part 8 script, now completed, has not pleased all members of FOTDL. Actor Dan Mendelssohn has threatened to quit FOTDL over the proposed - but as yet unknown - opening sequence, declaring it "Fucking shit." Despite emergency talks last night with auteur Reg Noyes, Mendelssohn is not happy with the way Part 8 (The Curse of Motzilla) is taking shape and, as Reg Noyes left the 11th hour meetings last night, he was heard to shout "You'll never work in home-movies again!"

Auteur Reg Noyes shows his talents have not gone unnoticed by the industry, lending his experience to Samber Salsa, released in cinemas around the UK on September 21st 2007. Reg was an extra in a few scenes, but more importantly was 2nd Assistant Director. See Reg on set here, seemingly helping with the hoovering. A bit odd for the assistant director to be doing that but that's the sort of guy Reg is.
