As for the Hamlet thing, I definitely think the dates of that are dependent on the release of TIG - he can't promote the film whilst appearing on stage every day; but yeah, I wish he could get it all sorted dates wise.
This guy's guessing game still doesn't stand up, though, imo - even if Ben doesn't need to be in the UK, it still doesn't make sense that a sound guy is giving out casting hints and no one else is reporting it.

Right so our favourite sound guy has tweeted a link to the Bananaman movie website which just plays the music and has #peelthepower written on it.

Nothing about Ben, nothing else except it's out next year.

Bollocks!!

Yep, and BS, too!!! I've ventured onto Twitter and had a look and I'd say it was a definite marketing gimmick to get people clicking on that link.
Ah well, annoying that he's used Ben's name but I'm kind of relieved that he doesn't seem to be involved; I really don't think it's good enough for our boy!!

Definitely agree with you. No bananas after all. But we quite a lot of fun with fruit.

Ah well. As frustrating as it was, you've gotta see the funny side.
We'll see Ben and bananas in a whole new light from now on!

I'm a little releived... but also annoyed at the nerve of this guy. *Sigh*.

clareiow · March 17, 2014 6:33 pm

I'm peeved!!! Oh well, never mind, we live and learn.

Sorry for getting you all excited unnecessarily tho ;(

SusiGo · March 17, 2014 6:34 pm

Not your fault, Clare. Lots of people fell for it. What an idiot, though.

Harriet · March 17, 2014 6:35 pm

So no Eric this time, sigh...

SusiGo · March 17, 2014 6:36 pm

So you wanted to see him as Bananaman?

Harriet · March 17, 2014 6:39 pm

After all these announcements, why not?

I don't mind the hoax at all

Yup, not your fault at all Clare! But it made for an interesting day!

Biggles86 · March 17, 2014 7:07 pm

Oh how disappointing. I spent much of today wondering what the big news was. Very disappointed in the idiot who got us all going! Still, it helped the day go quickly with many Ben daydreams so not all bad!

You're not to blame at all
This guy and the producers were shamelessly bandwagon jumping to get some attention - and in the end it's left me feeling that if he films Lost City this year, TIG is a hit and we get a confirmed date for Hamlet, then I'll be happy
I'd rather he just have a couple of really good projects each year than appear in bloody Bananaman!

clareiow · March 17, 2014 7:19 pm

Well that's ok then! I'll keep onto twitter though....sometimes it is right! ;)

Biggles86 · March 17, 2014 7:35 pm

Yes, please do Clare. Imagine if it had been a real BC project, we would all be thanking you. We need you out there doing the super talented research that you do.

clareiow · March 17, 2014 7:37 pm

Aww bless you! Research is one of my top hobbies!!! ;) xx

Biggles86 · March 17, 2014 7:52 pm

And you are damn fine at it girl!!!

Bananas aren't all bad.
