Hey folks, I have a pair of news bits regarding THE TIME MACHINE for you today. First from ShowBizIreland.Com dropped us a line about the screentesting of first time actor and little brother of Samantha Mumba as a character in THE TIME MACHINE... Now at first this might seem odd to you folks, but in this version of THE TIME MACHINE, Mumba will be playing the future girl that the Time Traveler falls for.... She has a son and her mate had already been taken by the morlocks. So that's why they are testing him to see if he has the potential to fit that role. Here's the scoop...
The big news of the day was that Omero Mumba, the 11 year old baby brother of Irish pop princess Samantha Mumba was on his way to be screen tested for Stephen Spielberg's new movie the Time Machine. If Omero is successful he will be acting with his sister who has already won a role in the movie and will star opposite Guy Pearse and Jeremy Irons.

Hey folks, now on with the second part of the TIME MACHINE casting news... Apparently Alan "Only what three books would you take" Young has a cameo in the new film, which makes me wonder if Rod Taylor and Yvette Mimieux will also do cameos. That would be pretty sweet. Hmm... Now if only they did a cameo with Wah Chang!
On Feb 6, I had an interview with Alan Young who was Dr Filby in the George Pal 1960 "Time Machine" film (but known mostly as Wilbur on the Mister Ed TV series). He will be making a cameo appearance in the new Guy Pearce "Time Machine" movie. Not sure who he is playing, but he is in his 80's now and looking and sounding great.
Nothing major, cool though. later
