Jen Posted February 3, 2010 Report Posted February 3, 2010 I had to read Cloudstreet in year 11 and really didn't like it, but I may be pursuaded to watch it now. Also, I wonder where in Perth they will film? This is really good for Todd, and I wish him all the best.
Dorey125 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 i wonder where abouts in perth they are filming this? whats the book about?
emmasi Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 Well there are two families living in one house, and the house is haunted because a bunch of girls were mistreated by some old woman there, but the only one who can see or hear the ghosts is Fish, because Quick almost let him drown years ago and now he's mentally disabled, and their mother (I think) lives in a tent in the yard because she doesn't like the vibe of the house, and... it's just a really irritating, contrived story and the names of the characters are TERRIBLE! And at some point Quick "glows", which my teacher was obsessed with because apparently he'd never heard of the term "magic realism," which is where random supernatural things happen in an otherwise realistic story... God I hated studying that book, so very very much. I'm almost ashamed of myself for letting this information take up so much space in my tiny memory. We also studied "Loaded" and "The Hunter." Why couldn't Todd be in TV-movies of THOSE books?? Although Loaded has already been made into a movie, but that's not the point damn it! >.< They could do a remake! I'm sure Todd could play a drug-taking, random-sex-having, bisexual, music-addicted, anti-social Greek boy living in inner-city Melbourne... Well... he could definitely play "The Hunter" who is looking for the last Tasmanian Tiger... Okay fine! So out of those three books, "Cloudstreet" is probably the one he's most suited to, but that doesn't mean I have to like it Sorry for the ramble, it's been many weeks since I've had the internet to vent on

Anaya Posted March 10, 2010 Report Posted March 10, 2010 Two of the Cloudstreet actors walking amongst us decided the WA Miss Universe final held on Friday night was the perfect event to get out on the town. Stephen Curry, best known for his hilarious turn in The Castle, and former Home & Away star Todd Lasance checked out the girls on parade at Burswood Park. Happy to chat with the fans that approached hoping for a photo, the actors attended the event's after party at Eve nightclub before heading home to rest up for the shoot that continues this week. They, along with fellow cast members Emma Booth, Kerry Fox and Essie Davis will remain in Perth for the next few months filming the Tim Winton classic which is set to become a television miniseries.
