The REG Temple is the official website for actor, author and director Richard E. Grant.
Richard has appeared in over 80 films and television programs, such as Withnail And I, The Scarlet Pinmpernel, Jack & Sarah, L.A. Story, Dracula, The Hound Of The Baskervilles, Gosford Park & The Iron Lady. In 2005 he directed his first major release, Wah-Wah.
This website is unique in that it has been run and maintained by volunteers and fans since 1998. For more information on its origins, please click here.
There’s a hilarious luncheon “interview” between Richard, Sandra Bernhard and Premiere Magazine up on the site at the moment. This interview took place in 1994 at The Ivy in London and was published earlier in the followiing year. It’s pretty long, but it has some cool pictures. You can read that here. Thanks go to Sue for sourcing this one out for us.
There’s a couple of new articles on the site, thanks to Susan. The first one is from Watch Magazine which features, well, watches basically! They got a bit of a bonus with Richard though as everyone here knows that he actually wears two of them. You can read that here, (with a secondary article on Richard’s favourite films which you can read – on it’s own – here if ya really want to?)
The second article is from The Scotsman Magazine and is not about watches whatsoever, but The Scarlet Pimpernel. just click here to read it.
And finally some time soonish Richard will be speeding the first of his exclusive “REGimental REG Reports” over to me following suggestions from many of you people out there. We hope to make these a regular part of the site from now on.
For those of you who live near Folkstone (U.K.) there’s a store called B-Wise where apparently oodles of copies of the REG “Twelfth Night” video are selling at £2.99! So look out folks, if you don’t have a copy, now’s the time to strike!
It looks like the Warlock fan/programmer is back at Sky from holiday. Up and coming TV movies over the next week include Warlock (Sky Moviemax4 10.40pm Friday 31st May), Hudson Hawk (Carlton Cinema 9.00pm Wednesday 29th May) and The Little Vampire (Sky Premier 11.00am and 6.00pm Friday 31st May).
Thanks to both Rosemary and Emma for the reports.
Jolie finally managed to track down the announcement from Plays And Players Magazine for “Best Newcomer- 1984”. This award was won by REG for his role in the stageplay “Tramway Road”, and you can see it here.
There’s also some new pics from The Little Vampire and Jack And Sarah up on the site, as well as some new reviews of Little Vampire, Keep The Aspidistra Flying, The Scarlet Pimpernel and Richard’s book “With Nails”. Just navigate to their respective sections on the site (ie. Filmography, Pictures and Books).
There’s a brand new 6 year old interview from UK’s Premier Magazine on the site which was done around the time Richard’s book “With Nails” was released. You can read that here. Thanks go to Jolie for digging that one up.
