THE "KILLER BITCH" IS BACK - and The Censors Don't Know What to Say

Our upcoming KILLER BITCH film had to change its title to "Killer Babe" to satisfy a major UK retailer who objected to the word "Bitch" or "B***h" or "B****". Apparently "bitch" was considered offensively sexist but "babe" was/is not. That retailer has now seen what is in the actual movie itself and has backed out of stocking it.

So we are reverting to the original title KILLER BITCH, known and loved by many including, I can only presume, Joan Collins.

Meanwhile, indecision still reigns in the labyrinthine corridors of the BBFC (the British Film Censors). They had their normal screening of the movie by a single Examiner... then an uncommon second screening for other Examiners... then a third screening for the BBFC's Director... and they still couldn't reach a decision... So now there will be a fourth screening for the BBFC Chairman this week and, allegedly they will then decide on Friday or Monday. Frankly, if they are going to have this many screenings to this many people, I think the least they could do is buy a copy.

But, as a result of all this delay, the release of the DVD has been put back to Bank Holiday Monday 3rd May, coincidentally 24 hours after the British Erotic Awards Film Day on 2nd May.

The people I feel sorry for, though, are the poor souls at the BBFC. If the content of KILLER BITCH is so close to the edge of what is acceptable in a British feature film, I am worried about the moral health of the poor peeps at the BBFC who are continually being subjected to this apparently shocking and soul-degrading attack on the moral senses. Four screenings!

They recently passed with an 18 certificate the Willem Dafoe movie "Antichrist" which, I understand, showed close-ups of a penis ejaculating blood and, in extreme close-up, a shot of a woman cutting off her clitoris with a pair of scissors - as filmed by the Oscar-winning cinematographer of "Slumdog Millionaire".

But maybe that was Art aimed at readers of upmarket newspapers whereas KILLER BITCH is roundly aimed at ordinary people with a taste for straightforward entertainment and without an Oxbridge degree in Classics. We have always seen KILLER BITCH as an over-the-top British pantomime with blood and breasts. No more offensive than an Eminem stage show.

I suppose we should feel honoured that the BBFC is worried that KILLER BITCH might be more morally corrupting and closer to the edge of acceptability than "Antichrist". After all, we know exactly how small our budget was! But I have a slight worry there might be elitism creeping in - one rule for the Arts graduates who read the Guardian and the Independent; another rule for 'the plebs' who read the Daily Mirror, Star and Sun.

LANGUAGE! LANGUAGE!

The BBC News channel today is reporting that the Best Supporting Actor Oscar went to a bloke in Quentin Tarentino's "Inglourious".

Mark Kermode, discussing the Oscars in the same BBC News channel bulletins, quite happily talks about "Inglourious Basterds".

Our title "Killer Bitch" changed to "Killer Babe" because a major UK retailer felt "Bitch" was sexist but "Babe" was not.

We live in interesting times.

Rock music, Killer Babe, Killer Bitch and the IRA

Music videos of four of the 31 tracks used in our upcoming 92-minute KILLER BABE movie are now on

www.gangstervideos.co.uk/KillerBitch/music.html

I see in today's Irish Independent that they are calling "Killer Bitch" (the shooting title of "Killer Babe") a "violent porno flick" - again, without having seen any of the movie. The article is written by Eilis O'Hanlon, sister of the late Provisional IRA member and Sinn Fein official Siobhán O'Hanlon; her late uncle was Joe Cahill, former Chief of Staff of the Provisional IRA, so I'm saying nothing, but can I point out I am Scottish not English?

KILLER BITCH is now KILLER BABE

KILLER BABE is the new title of Killer Bitch - The title change is to please a rather sensitive major retailer, but the content of the movie remains the same.

Alex Reid, Celebrity Big Brother and 31 music tracks

Well, our KILLER BITCH star Alex Reid won Celebrity Big Brother last night with 65% of the vote and I do believe Davina McCall might have called KILLER BITCH a "cult smash" even before it's released, which can't be bad, but there's much more to the movie than just sex, violence, real criminals, real on-screen fights, former world championship boxers, cage fighters, bare-knuckle champions, Page 3 girls, Babestation babes and potential Daniel Craig James Bond replacements.

KILLER BITCH - THE CUTTING EDGE MOVIE

On page 15 of today's new issue of Heat magazine, they say of Killer Bitch: "The fast-cut sex and violence... is unexpectedly avant-garde".

We prefer to call it cutting-edge. As unexpected as a slit throat.

A lot has been said about Killer Bitch, but naturalistic kitchen sink drama it ain't.

It's Tom and Jerry meets Reservoir Dogs... a violent panto.

And it's possible (though not certain) that this Friday's edition of Big Brother's Big Mouth on E4 will show even more footage from the movie.

"KILLER BITCH" notches up its first sale

After E4 screened a short clip from the Killer Bitch trailer on Big Brother's Big Mouth last night, the on-screen conversation between presenter Davina McCall, Michelle Heaton and Boyd Hilton (TV & Reviews Editor of Heat magazine), went:

DAVINA: "I'm telling you I'm buying that. On the strength of that trailer, I'm buying that."

MICHELLE: "I guarantee that's a hit already, right?"

BOYD: "We'll be doing a big 4-page review of it."

Phew! So, when the movie comes out, that's one sold, at least!

Killer Bitch - Alex Reid, "I Spit on Your Grave" and "Apocalpsye Now!"

KILLER BITCH “makes You’ve Been Framed look like Apocalypse Now!” according to Now Magazine’s online edition today… a comparison I enjoy so much it is almost up there with Gore Zone magazine ‘s opinion that KILLER BITCH is “Grand Theft Auto meets I Spit on Your Grave”.

Now magazine were also generous enough to say: “The website for KILLER BITCH is kind of inspired… Now that is manipulation of the press!”

You can make up your own mind by taking a look at www.killerbitch.co.uk

Celebrity Big Brother’s Big Mouth also gave us a very welcome mention on E4 last night.

In response to Alex Reid’s quote in the Celebrity Big Brother house, saying: “I can influence the world a better way by… making life-changing films” they ran an unedited clip from his debut in KILLER BITCH. Davina McCall’s reaction was: “Daniel Craig watch out!” while Terry Christian said, “I thought he was like a young Marlon Brando there. I felt the heat!”

I’m not so sure Stephen Baldwin would approve of KILLER BITCH, though.

Maybe "A sick movie... vile scenes...stomach churning" (Daily Mirror) is not on-message for him.


Meanwhile, editing on the movie continues apace in Northamptonshire, Walthamstow and Chatham.

Killer Bitch, Celebrity Sleaze and Link Mania

Well, Alex Reid has gone into the Celebrity Big Brother house dressed as a man rather than as his alter ego Roxanne.

Pity.

But the good news is that, according to Celebrity Big Brother, we are a "mucky movie" and, according to the News of the World, Alex's career low so far has been appearing in "sleazy gangster film Killer Bitch".

As Oscar said, the only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about. And they haven't even seen any clips from Killer Bitch yet.

For a taster of the sort of music we are using, you could do worse than go to the music page of the Killer Bitch website.
