  • 128 - Anthony Forrest - Star Wars Actor
    2025/06/10
    In this special archival episode, I speak with actor and musician Anthony Forrest, best known to Star Wars fans for playing the sandtrooper who famously waved Obi-Wan and Luke past an Imperial checkpoint with the words: “These aren’t the droids we’re looking for.” Originally recorded over a decade ago, this conversation explores Forrest’s original casting as “Fixer” in the cut Tosche Station scenes, his time filming in Tunisia, and how George Lucas unexpectedly tapped him to suit up as a trooper. Anthony also reflects on working alongside Alec Guinness, the skepticism among the British crew, and the surreal experience of flying home with champagne and Star Wars stickers courtesy of Sir Alec himself. Beyond Star Wars, we also discuss Anthony’s career in music, his time busking in the London Underground, and his low-budget feature The Ballad of Bob’s Garage.

    Listen in for rarely heard stories from behind the mask.

    Mentioned in this episode:
    • Deleted scenes from A New Hope
    • Filming in Tunisia and London
    • Busking and recording in the London Underground
    • Alec Guinness and the 2007 Academy screening
    • The Ballad of Bob’s Garage project

  • BONUS - Director Paul King on Beneath London - The Story of Alien War
    2025/06/04
    In this bonus episode of The Filmumentaries Podcast, I catch up with returning guest Paul King, who you might remember from our previous conversation about his Shining locations documentary, Shine On. This time, Paul’s back with another nostalgic deep-dive — his new short documentary Beneath London: The Story of Alien War. We talk about the origins of the Alien-themed walkthrough experience that terrified visitors to London’s Trocadero in the early 1990s, how Paul tracked down rare archive footage and the people who made it happen, and why he thinks this story still has the potential to grow into a feature-length film. Watch Paul’s documentary on YouTube:
    Beneath London: The Story of Alien War In the episode, we cover:
    • What Alien War was and how it came together
    • The strange story of how the creators got official backing from 20th Century Fox
    • How the experience pushed boundaries long before immersive cinema became a thing
    • Paul’s process of turning archival material and interviews into a compelling short film
    I also share an update on my own documentary, Not Your Average Joe, about legendary Jaws production designer Joe Alves. I’m heading to Martha’s Vineyard this June to film key interviews during the 50th anniversary celebrations — a rare and important opportunity to capture these stories on location.

  • 127 – Max Evry on A Masterpiece in Disarray: David Lynch’s Dune – An Oral History.

    Episode 129 – Max Evry on A Masterpiece in Disarray: David Lynch’s Dune – An Oral History.

    In this episode, I speak with film journalist and author Max Evry about his brilliant and in-depth book A Masterpiece in Disarray: David Lynch’s Dune – An Oral History. What began as a 150-page entry in a cult film series soon grew into a 560-page epic — much like the film it covers.

    Max and I talk about the origins of the project, how he managed to get David Lynch himself to take part, and why the oral history format was the right approach for telling this complex story. We also chat about the book’s structure, Max’s archive work, and how his own experiences as a filmmaker gave him a deeper empathy for the challenges Lynch faced.

    There’s even a fascinating discussion about Max’s restoration of a long-lost scene featuring Molly Wryn — which you can now watch here:

    You can find Max’s book here.
