Bum's Rush 
The Sunday Herald gives a small mention about Dougray's upcoming production: 
"Among the films about to begin shooting in Scotland is Bum's Rush, Dougray Scott's long-awaited flick about a group of slackers who think they have found gold in the Highlands. The cast includes Kevin McKidd and Denis Lawson. Scott will produce rather than star in the movie, which will be made in the heart of whisky country, near Grantown-on-Spey."  source: Sunday Herald 10/27/02

To Kill a King 
From yesterday's Variety: 
"The London Screenings, which takes place this week, may have been reduced to a shadow of its former self by the boycott of the big sales companies, but it's not quite dead yet. The official list of films screening in London includes about 70 titles, most of them extremely minor. But there are also two significant private screenings not listed -- HanWay is planning a cast-and-crew showing Oct. 29 of Mike Barker's "To Kill a King" (if the print arrives in time), and the Beyond Intl. is unveiling Oct. 30 the hot Oz comedy "Crackerjack." Both screenings reflect dissatisfaction by the sellers about the slots being offered by Mifed. These screenings will mostly be attended by London-based buyers, but some distribs are flying in on their way to Milan."  source: Variety 10/27/02

Added 4 new photos of Dougray to the Gallery. 
- Special Thanks to Jade for the find!

Ripley's Game 
According to the IMDb, the film will be released in Belgium on May 7, 2003.

To Kill a King 
According to yesterday's Variety on-line, HanWay Films requested 6 slots at MIFED (Milan's Int'l Film and TV market) but was only awared 4.  "This has forced HanWay to reconsider the possibility of staging a private cast and crew screening in London the week before -- a classic example of Mifed shooting itself in the foot." MIFED runs from November 2-7.

The Bum's Rush 
Another bit of news from yesterday's Variety online: Myriad Pictures will be the production house for The Bum's Rush, the Scottish comedy from Mike Barker's and Dougray Scott's Hero Films company 

Apparently the screenwriter for Magic Moments (a short film in which Dougray starred, and which can sometimes been seen on FilmFour's website), thinks Robin William's new feature film One Hour Photo is just too similar to to be original.
