An April Fools' Day Return

4/1/2016

Joke Poster by Jonathan Walls
A poster was released on April 1, 2016 listing the "official cast" of Peter and Iona consisting of
  • Ramin Karimloo as Peter
  • Sierra Boggess Official as Iona
  • Lzzy Hale as Princess Karoline
  • Lady Gaga as Chrysocolla
  • Taylor Swift as Basil
  • Keith Richards as Professor Gebhard
  • Sir Patrick Stewart as King Franz
  • Billy Boyd as Quintin
While this was obviously an April Fools' prank, it represents something of a reawakening for the project. This website had not been updated for nearly two years, and work on the project had slowed almost to a stop during that time. This was due to the school, work, and (in Patrick's case) military commitments of the team.

This poster, and its legitimate counterpart, marks a return to routine work for the project.

After two and a half grueling months, Peter and Iona co-writer Patrick W. Phillips has returned from US Army Basic Combat Training. This represents the culmination of a life-long dream for him. He hopes to bring some inside military experience to the martial elements of Peter and Iona.

Our resident musician, composer, singer, and miracle worker Sarah Van Sciver has been hard at work. Along with bringing the music and lyrics of Peter and Iona to life, she has recently been gearing up to attend the California Institute of the Arts ("CalArts") in Valencia, CA beginning this September where she will pursue a Performer-Composer Masters of Fine Arts at the Herb Alpert School of Music. It should be noted that, somewhat ironically, CalArts was founded by Walt Disney in the 1960s.

Everyone on the Peter and Iona team wishes her the best of luck with her MFA and cross country relocation, and we're really thankful that she's taken on the task of helping the project while going after her own goals.

Celebrity Connection!

The Team is extremely happy to announce that renowned English actor Jason Salkey is lending some unique support to the project. A future article will detail the fact that a good deal of the project was inspired largely by the Sharpe series of films. Originally the story was to take place in a medevial world, but Patrick's love of Sharpe and interest in the times of the Napoleonic Wars steered it toward that period. The project founders have watched hundreds of hours of Sharpe as well as the 1970 film Waterloo, the 2002 A&E miniseries Napoléon, and the Hornblower television series to gain insight into the turbulent era that was the early 19th century.

Thanks to Mr Salkey, the "making-of" documentary for the project will not only be able to mention the role of Sharpe in the project but will be able to show a behind the scenes look at the series that has inspired us so much. Mr Salkey has graciously allowed us to use clips from his
Video Diaries of Rifleman Harris in our documentary. These video diaries are made up of his personal home movies that he made while on location filming Sharpe alongside Irish actor Daragh O'Malley, English folk singer John Tams, and Sean Bean of Game of Thrones and The Lord of the Rings fame.

We cannot express how excited we are to receive help from Mr Salkey and be able to show an intricate part of the inspiration behind the project. For more on him and his video diaries visit his website at:
www.riflemanharris.co.uk. We sincerely thank him for his help and recommend his diaries to any fan of the Sharpe series.

She's got the best headshot of the team, and rumor has it that she's related to a certain animator we know. Click here for her bio or go to yip-yop.deviantart.com for more on her.
