Now For The Interesting Stuff :

The name of the movie has been officially been changed to "Strike!". I guess "The Hairy Bird" just didn't sound inviting enough!

Vinnie has said he had fun doing the movie because he got to wear fake sideburns.

I have a recording of Vinnie being interviewed about the movie. I'm going to try to put the audio file here, but I don't know if it will work. You DO have to have 'RealAudio. Get it here : http://www.real.com When you get there look to the left where it says FREE REAL PLAYER 5.0 click on that to download the free real player. Then come back here and listen to Vinnie's voice! I hope this works, I've never tried to put audio on here before. Let me know if you have any problems.

Once you have the player click on this, I hope it works!

What The Movie Is About :

It's a coming of age story set in Miss Godard's School For Girls in 1963. One night the girls hear that the school wants to become co-ed, but the girls are against it. They are determined to sabatage the merger with the boy's school, so they try to outsmart the enemy with a "girls rule" campaign.

Vinnie plays Snake, a teen dropout that falls in love with one of the girls.

I'm sorry, that's about all the info I have, but I hope the audio link above works, if it does you will be able to hear Vinnie describe the movie to you (which is a lot better than reading what I've written anyway!)
