Here's a surprise. Cloud 9 , Frozen Pictures' first feature film release, has become a big hit in India! Bollywood giants Shemaroo Entertainment released deluxe DVD and VCD versions of the beach volleyball comedy a few weeks ago. And it's caught on partly because it's similar in tone to a Bollywood hit starring Shah Rukh Khan as a disgraced captain of the Indian hockey team who decides to coach a female hockey team: "The story is much akin to our Bollywood ‘Chak De’ . A washed out former star, who is in need of money and an ambition to be fulfilled works towards a get rich plan and starts a volleyball team whose players consist of a group of beautiful athletic strippers. Burt Reynolds efforts in forming the world’s sexiest beach volleyball team with the strippers, is seen as a rib tickling comedy. Eventually though as the girls’ popularity swells, they want to win the crowds with their abilities, and not their bodies where these girls team up and play a match a...

And she’s in the spotlight just in time in the wild, steamy, sexy website, Hot Sexy Fashions Pictures Daily .

The Chicago Sun-Times features Neil Innes in today's issue, in anticipation of Saturday's Heartland premiere of our Innes biopic, The Seventh Python . The film will screen at 11 a.m. Saturday for early-bird fans at The Fest For Beatle Fans at the Hyatt-Regency O'Hare Hotel. Jeff Elbel interviews Neil from his home in England: Chicago Sun-Times August 7, 2008 A satisfied Rutle spends lost weekend with Beatles fans in Chicago BY JEFF ELBEL According to Neil Innes, he stumbled innocently into show business with the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band during the 1960s and has been falling through open doors ever since. He’s happier as a respected peer of timeless entertainers like the Beatles and Monty Python troupe than being considered a star himself. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Rutles film “All You Need Is Cash,” a wickedly funny Beatles spoof. Monty Python’s Eric Idle wrote the screenplay about the “Prefab Four,” and Innes starred as John Lennon figure Ron Nasty. Innes’ ...

When we were producing The Seventh Python , were sure to include a section about the role of the Internet in spreading Neil Innes' music and uniting his fans around the world, and it was through the Internet that we discovered what could be the only Rutles tribute group in Japan! The Mountbattens, named for the Rutles manager who tragically accepted a taching post in Australia), do dead-on, English language versions of The Rutles' greatest hits, and their inclusion in The Seventh Python (they perform I Must Be In Love) proved to be one of the film's most crowd-pleasing, applause-inducing moments. The Mountbattens were excited to be included in our little film. And they sent along their group bio: This is our bio. The Mountbattens are Yuji Furuhata : Vo, G Hitoshi Takahashi : G, Vo Tatsuto Yasaka : B, Vo Yasushi Suzuki : D BBC(B) "Tell me about THE MOUNTBATTENS." MOUNTBATTENS(M) "We love THE BEATLES." B "Oh! I love them too. Do you cover their songs...

We've found that one of the surprises in our Neil Innes biopic, The Seventh Python , is the inclusion of two international acts who are influenced by Neil and help spread his music in far-flung corners of the globe. One of them is the Japanese Rutles tribute, the Mountbattens. The other is Roman Shebalin , an artist we've featured here before, and who's made an impact on YouTube with his Russian-language renditions of English. In The Seventh Python, Roman performs his version of Neil's signature tune, How Sweet To Be An Idiot-- in Russian! Roman-- who wears a pig on his head instead of a duck!-- tells us he doesn't speak English, but with the help of a translator friend sent us a bio. We hope his inclusion in The Seventh Python only spreads his music as well! Roman Shebalin (born on 25th of October, 1970 in Moscow, USSR) – Russian musician, writer, artist and registrar. From 1994 to 1999 studied at the College of Literature. Works as a registrar since he has fini...

We're still working on the aftermath of the world premiere of our Neil Innes biopic, The Seventh Python , but why waste time when we've got something great ? We've already begun pre-production on our next nonfiction, musical feature film: the story of Sixties rocker Chris Montez . Chris is a Mexican American rock legend who grew up in Hawthorne, California, went to school with the Beach Boys, met his hero Ritchie Valens as a teen, carried on as his successor, toured England with the Beatles as his opening act, and pioneered the lounge movement with hits like Call Me and The More I See You. You'll recognize his hit, Let's Dance. It played during the food fight scene in Animal House, and the Ramones covered it on their first album.

It was more like hanging out in the local pub than attending a rock concert. Switching from guitar to keyboard to ukelele to something resembling a zither, Innes kept stressing it was an "interactive" night, inviting friends like animator and webmaster Bonnie Rose and Emo Philips up on stage to accompany him....
