Lee Paris’s review of Keane includes these comments:

Damian Lewis is frighteningly convincing and within the first few moments of watching his pained yet incredibly handsome face I was mesmerized. I felt that I was a fly on the wall of his brain – his poor, tortured, sick brain. It didn’t take long to realize that he was suffering from schizophrenia… It is obvious that director Lodge Kerrigan has intimate knowledge regarding schizophrenia (check out his earlier film ‘Clean,Shaven’) and it was refreshing to see the subject portrayed an a non-stereotyped manner. How rare to see it played out from the body of a very together looking, well dressed, well spoken, handsome human. The lack of soundtrack was perfect to add to the brutal reality of the inner workings of the character…

Keane is available on DVD in:

» Region 1 – US and Canada

» Region 2 – UK, Europe, South Africa, Mideast, Egypt, and Japan

» Region 4 – Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Islands, Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean

Studio-NI reports that extras are still being called for Your Highness with Damian Lewis, currently filming in Northern Ireland:

The good news is that a large number of the cast and crew are Studio NI members.
Don’t worry if you haven’t gotten the call yet – new people are being recruited all the time, and there are still a few weeks to go…The bad news: everyone employed must sign a contract with a small-print confidentiality clause. Thus, the buzz that can raise morale in the local film industry (and make or break a film) is being killed.

Many thanks to Russ Chapple for kindly sharing this wonderful photo of Damian Lewis taken at the London Zoo on August 15, 2009. To view the full-size photo go to Russ Chapple’s Photostream on Flickr or visit this site’s Warehouse Gallery. Russ’s description of the encounter is given below:

One of my proudest photographs to date. Not for its technical mastery but for the fact I found the courage to approach him and request a picture! The scene was London Zoo last Saturday, the setting was Damian Lewis and his wife standing outside the ‘Amazing Animals’ show. After recognising him I pondered and deliberated for a minute before plucking up the courage and talking to him. He was really nice.
