Looking forward to another South African movie hitting the big screens soon? The book that I didn’t much like but that so many of you did, will become Spud The Movie! And it will most likely join the latest string of South African-linked film successes like District 9 and Invictus which have been nominated for a string of Oscars. I say this fairly confidently because John Cleese has signed up as Guv and this is a sure sign of confidence in the potential of the movie.

Author of the bestselller, John van der Ruit blogged this morning to say that he’s “received the screamworthy news that John Cleese had officially signed on the dotted line to play The Guv. Five days after that, and following months of torture, I learned that the financing had finally been secured and the film was green-lit to begin shooting in March. After years of uncertainty and one step forward, two steps back, Spud the Movie has galloped past the point of no return…. I can officially announce that the role of Spud will be played by the phenomenally talented Troye Sivan, star of Wolverine X-Men Origins.”

Very exciting news Mr van der Ruit.
