Move over, Spielberg!

By Lee

Author, lover, bon viveur – Andy Remic is a man of many, many talents!

As well as the author of the violent epic, Kell’s Legend, Rem has turned his hand to film-making.

In this first clip, Rem reads from his latest book:

and in this second, he’s the camera-chap – he’s not a limelight-seeker, you see. It’s a clip from a panel at the recent FantasyCon 2009, during which some of the world’s finest minds discuss the legend of David Gemmell.

While we’re on a Remic post, here’s a snippet from the latest review of Kells Legend from those fine people over at Graeme’s Fantasy Book Review (when I say “fine people”, I do, of course, mean Graeme).

‘Kell’s Legend’ is a roller coaster ride of a book that grabbed me right from the first page and tore off at a rate of knots like I hadn’t seen in a long time. The only chance anyone gets to take a breather is when Kell removes his axe from a corpse that hasn’t had the time to realise that it’s dead! Before you’ve had a chance to take a proper breath, it’s back into the fray again… Here is a man who has become a hero yet knows full well that he has done nothing to deserve such accolades. In fact, he has done entirely the opposite and is ready to commit the worst atrocities to protect what he loves. Life has eaten all the best bits of this man and left nothing but bitterness behind…
