The plans are currently subject to inspection by a government planning inspector, and Pullman has been leading from the front, suggesting that Jericho is just as beautiful as Venice.

Posted on by Ian

Apologies from the staff here at BTTS for the absence of news – August has been a sleepy month. The official facebook group for The Butterfly Tattoo movie has been updated and informs members that there will be an announcement soon regarding when previews of the movie are to take place. In addition, the official movie website has been overhauled (including a slightly altered trailer from original teaser we saw earlier this year) and is now a frontage for movie. Hopefully there will be more news on this soon. Visit the official Butterfly Tattoo site here.
