TACHO is a black comedy about a successful Rally driver and his race of a lifetime. For more information take a look at the TACHO post.

TACHO is a black comedy about a successful Rally driver and his race of a lifetime. Alex cannot imagine life without Rally, devoting himself exclusively to it. After an accident during which his co-driver is seriously injured, and with the date of the most important race of the season inexorably approaching, Alex’s manager is desperately searching for a replacement co-driver. Alex wants to race at all costs, despite the explicit ban on driving imposed by his doctor. He has been racing for fifteen years, but the greatest achievement has always escaped him by a hair’s breadth. After a fated encounter with a girl, he surprisingly decides that she alone is to be his co-driver in this race of a lifetime –the totally inexperienced Lucy, also committed to victory. The German, Weber, Alex’s greatest rival, already sees himself as a winner.  Also dreaming of victory are Slovakian adventurer, Jožo, and his new co-driver, Jula, whom he rescued from the clutches of the Mafia. English racing drivers, Charlie and Dave, are also practising intensely, albeit for something entirely different from Rally. Will this dramatic race have any winner at all? Indeed, life is about living every moment…

With the Première of TACHO in Prague just days previously and the Snow across Europe it was touch and go if Julian would make it back. But make it back he did just in time for the ‘TRON Legacy’ première in London’s Leicester Square.

Director Joseph Kosinski and Disney have done an amazing job on this film with an great soundtrack by Daft Punk. This is one of the first 3D films where 3D actually works. After the film Julian headed of to the after show party at the Tate Modern with a very impressive lazer light show. Tron Legacy comes out from the 16th December across the world.

The black comedy tells the story of a successful Rally racer Alex Bold, who has an accident during the race and his passenger is injured and refusing to take the next competition. Alex’s manager Levent desperately starts looking for an alternate, but Alex finally selects the most important race of the season to use the completely inexperienced Lucy as co driver. The racers become entangled in a fraudulent trade in truffles and fear for their lives. English competitors Charles and Dave are in the rally, but there is something not 100% right with the duo …

How can a Mafioso Jožo help Alex? What is “100 over the dinosaur”?

Where the hell are those truffles and who will survive it all?

Life is about all the time

Julian has just finished filming on Madonna’s new film W.E. Due for release in 2011 the film is a two-tiered romantic drama focusing on the affair between King Edward VIII and American divorcée Wallis Simpson and a contemporary romance between a married woman and a Russian security guard.

Its a Wrap for english actor Julian! Principle filming finishes on Touch the Rainbow (Dotkni se Duhy). After a month of filming the film it is in the can and its looking like a cracker film. The film is expected to be released in November this year.

After an accident, Alex, a successful Rally racing driver, has to face the fact that he has a brain tumour. It is only thanks to the also ill Lucy that he manages to get a medical card to race in Nitra, where he wants to compete against his greatest rival, the German, Weber, for the last time. Other crews are also focusing their attention on Nitra. The Slovakian Mafioso, Jožo, dreams of a great racing career and calls Jula, the top co-driver in Slovakia, who, fearing for his life, is not competing, due to his involvement in an illegal deal in truffles. Who does the crew of English youngsters want to rob? How can Mafioso Jožo help Alex? What does “100 over dinosaur to left blue” mean and where on earth are those darn truffles??
