Poirot - The Third Girl
Lucy's episode of Poirot - The Third Girl first aired on UK Channel ITV1 at 9pm on Monday 15th September 2008.
Lucy plays the character of Sonia Benson in this adaptation of the Agatha Christie crime thriller.
Poirot is visited by a distraught girl, Norma Restarick, who fears she may have killed someone but runs away, telling him that he's too old rather than explaining further. By coincidence, Poirot's friend Ariadne Oliver lives in the same apartment block as Norma and her two roommates and recently went to their party, where Norma was distressed when she was offered ice cream. Norma's ex-nanny, Miss Lavinia Seagram, an alcoholic, also lived in the block but was recently found dead, with the verdict being suicide. Ariadne is unconvinced and searches the nanny's apartment, finding a clue which she puts in her handbag. Soon afterward she is attacked and the bag and its contents are stolen. Poirot visits the Restarick family home in the country, owned by Norma's great-uncle, Sir Roderick, an elderly and half-blind man who is dependent upon Sonia, his young personal assistant (who may well be a gold-digger)...

Mindflesh - a Body-Horror Movie!
MindFlesh, a Body-Horror Movie, in Cronenberg Tradition
The disturbing Cronenberg-style horror-thriller, MindFlesh completes post-production at the end of August (2007). Worldwide rights are available.
Finishing post-production at the end of August 2007 is indie horror-thriller, MindFlesh staring Christopher Fairbank (Aliens, Batman, Fifth Element), Peter Bramhill (Human Traffic), Lucy Liemann (Bourne Ultimatum) and introducing sexy French goddess Carole Derrien.
Adapted from the novel White Light by William Scheinman, MindFlesh tells the story of a taxi driver, Chris Jackson, whose obsession with a ghostly goddess becomes real. Add cruel extraterrestrials that punish Jackson for pulling the goddess from a parallel dimension and MindFlesh establishes what could be a very successful franchise in the tradition of David Cronenberg.
There are some pretty out-there scenes in MindFlesh that shock not because of their brutality but because of their originality and context.
Filmed on location in South London, UK over four six-day weeks last October, the creative team has worked the past 10 months to complete the digital effects that enhance and compliment prosthetics worn during shooting to successfully blend reality and fantasy. Work on the 5-piece prosthetic alien costume began three months before shooting and includes a pair of 3ft Powerizer stilts to increase the monster’s height. Actress Charlotte Milchard who wears the alien suit, also gets a chance to show her face as a murder victim with severed breasts.
An interesting aspect of the movie is the surprising lack of dialogue with Director Robert Pratten choosing to tell the story with striking images and an innovative music soundtrack from Arban Severin, wife of Siouxie and the Banshees founder member, Steven Severin. Pratten admits that MindFlesh is far more adventurous and edgy than his successful first feature London Voodoo.
Says Pratten, “There are some pretty out-there scenes in MindFlesh that shock not because of their brutality but because of their originality and context.”
He continues, “MindFlesh is about a guy dominated by obsession. Although there’s plenty of blood and boobs and on the surface the film looks like an erotic horror-thriller, there is a serious message lurking in there about pleasure not being the path to happiness.”
