| As avid followers of "All Things Aisleyne" we have all been aware from various hints, rumours and cryptic allusions that "something" rather exciting was happening behind the scenes.
We now have official confirmation that a film based on Aisleyne's autobiography has indeed been in discussion for some time and is now ready to move into the next stage of development.
Many details are for obvious reasons still under wraps, but the following information has just been released to us:
Title (provisional) 'Surviving Guns, Gangs & Glamour'
Official status: 'In Development'
Co-production, likely between three companies, one of which is Phrantik Films Limited, a subsidiary of Aisleyne Ltd
Certificated as a British Film under Schedule 1 to the Films Act 1985
Casting: no information available at this stage
Provisional length: 93 minutes (plus opening sequence and closing credits)
Current provisional schedule: principal photography late summer 2013, UK theatrical release Spring 2014. |

| Incredible news. It's the kind of stuff I've dreamt about. It would be colossal if anyone can pull this off. Best of luck to all concerned. |

| Aisleyne talks about the film in this recent interview taking place last weekend at Leon McKenzie's book launch. Seemingly filming has already begun... though I suspect this is not the principal photography stage....

Location: Scottish Borders | Perhaps I'm a bit slow to catch on, but I was re-reading a bit of Aisleyne's book this weekend, and I now realize the likely inspiration for the name 'Phrantik Films'? |

| We might need to change the (working) title of this thread?

What title would YOU suggest??? |

| I have heard on the grapevine that the film project is indeed still moving forward.
However at this stage of development, all films move very much like glaciers - very slowly, while the various key personnel bits of the jigsaw are assembled. |

| Oooh, have you seen Aisleyne's latest tweet?

Here's a possibly rather optimistic suggestion:

I'd like to think they're both British, naturally. Don't forget though that Ash talked in an interview last year about an 'American' director who had initially approached her about the project....

Location: Scottish Borders | A little audio interview of Aisleyne talking about her Movie, entitled 'Big Brother Star Aisleyne to get a Biopic?!', has been picked up by various entertainment news sites including OMG! from Yahoo.
The interview was done a while ago though,

| Now, I MAY be guilty of a 2+2=5, but I'm guessing that it MIGHT be an idea to follow a film company called Phrantik Films Ltd on Twitter
