"Killer Bitch" - How to Get Rid of a Dead Body

So that’s how to get rid of a body leaving no trace? Who would have thought it? I am a simple person and imagined the pigs just ate the flesh or, if you dumped a weighted body into the sea, you just used small-gauge chicken coop netting.


I had an interesting chat with our death consultant ‘Lou’ yesterday afternoon and he set me straight. Amazing a man who knows about such things can have such a delicate palate for food.


The editing has started on Killer Bitch with seven people ensconced in Northamptonshire working right throughout the Christmas and New Year period on three editing machines; plus editing work in Walthamstow and - ooh - somewhere in the depths of the snow in Kent as well. Meanwhile, In Borehamwood, home of both the Indiana Jones and the On The Buses movies, I am using an Apple quill to try to novelise the script. Thus my need to know about the intricacies of pigs’ digestive tracts.


Our ‘Lou’ knows almost as much about animals as the very nice indeed former drug super-dealer Howard Marks. His stories of the sophisticated uses of lion shit and reindeer urine take some beating. He seemed happy with his own upcoming autobiographical movie Mr Nice in which he is played by Rhys Ifans; he had seen a screening of the finished film. It’s certainly a cracking story.


We went to Leeds to film Howard’s scenes for Killer Bitch. They were either the final or penultimate sequences to be filmed.


I’m not 100% certain if they were our last bit of filming because, even though we have now started editing and will finish the final cut in January, there is an extra surprise scene which we may or may not be able to shoot. If we can do it, it will certainly put a smile on my face and should make audiences and journalists sit up in their seats.
