SPUD - Boy ... Old School ... TOTAL INSANITY!
by Guest Author
Cult classic novel SPUD adapted for the screen and In Cinemas April 19,
starring John Cleese (as The Guv) and Troye Sivan (as Spud)
Spud which is the most successful book in South African publishing history is now a film and will be released in Australia on April 19,2012. Starring John Cleese and Perth-based Troye Sivan the film topped the South African box office during the 2010 Christmas holidays and will be available to Australia audiences next month.
Like the novel, the film is set in 1990s South Africa. Two major events are about to happen: The release of Nelson Mandela and, more importantly, its Spud Miltons (Sivan) first year at an elite boys only private boarding school.
John Milton is a boy from an ordinary background who wins a scholarship to a private school in Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa. Surrounded by boys with nicknames like Gecko, Rambo, Rain Man and Mad Dog, Spud has his hands full trying to adapt to his new home. Along the way Spud takes his first tentative steps along the path to manhood. (The path it seems could be a rather long road).
Armed with only his wits and his diary, Spud takes us from illegal night swimming to the red-hot furnace of the cricket pitch, from ghost busting to a catastrophic family vacation. He also invites us into the mind of a boy struggling to come to terms with a strange new world, a boy whose eyes are being opened to love, friendship and complete insanity.
