Another forum revival attempt!
Right, so I thought, since the actor's boards seem to have been largely ignored in favour of the actual characters (somewhat understandably) it might be an idea to use them to exchange news on films/other projects that they are soon to appear in.
So, a lot of you will probably have heard of "Telepathy", if ye hang around on the Miranda Richardson forum, as it has both of them in it again, YAY for that. TBH, there doesn't seem to have been a whole lot announced on the film since news of it first appeared, but here is the imdb link:
www.imdb.com/title/tt0808495/
Summary (taken from imdb): Josef and Viktor Zalenski are identical twin brothers who are chosen by the Russian government as the subjects of a top-secret experiment to test the powers of telepathy as a form of communication between Earth and outer space. While Josef is wired up to complex technology on a remote military base, his brother is launched into space in order to test their powers of telepathy. Forced into intimate and prolonged contact after years of estrangement, the twins become mentally and emotionally closer until Josef discovers by means of intuition a secret that his brother has kept hidden for many years.
Cast list (also from imdb, and presumably incomplete as yet):
Sam Neill
Miranda Richardson
Nathalie Press
None of their characters are listed, though apparently none will be playing the twins (well, LOL, fairly obvious in the case of Miranda and this other woman).

There's also a rumoured appearance listed on imdb for a film called "The Last Dragon: Search for the Lost Pearl" Since it's actually listed as "rumoured" on his page there, I'm not sure how likely this is to be true, bless imdb and it's many inconsistencies.
imdb link: www.imdb.com/title/tt1117388/
Summary: The story is about a boy, his relationship with his father and the discovery of a trapped dragon inside a cave, hidden for thousands of years. Releasing the dragon helps the boy come to terms with the relationship with his father, and releases the dragon within.
Cast List:
Sam Neill: Dr Chris Chase (rumoured)
Vince Colosimo: Bryson
Louis Corbett: Josh

Under the Mountain- Another fantasy type film, apparently. Set in New Zealand.
www.imdb.com/title/tt1275861/
Summary: Teenage twins battle dark forces hidden beneath Auckland's volcanoes.
----
In her Skin- Tale of a 15-year-old Australian girl who went missing and was found to have been murdered by her babysitter. I think Sam Neill's playing the father of said babysitter, from what I've read, and looking at the castlist.
www.imdb.com/title/tt0995851/

Iron Road (miniseries) - It's directed by the same guy that directed Merlin's Apprentice. With that in mind, I plan to approach it with extreme caution...
www.imdb.com/title/tt1013119/
Summary:A poor but feisty Chinese woman, disguised as a boy, joins the railroad crew in the Rocky Mountains to search for her long-lost father, and falls in love with the son of the railroad tycoon.
---
Daybreakers- Tis about vampires, apparently. Categorised as completed.
www.imdb.com/title/tt0433362/
Summary: In the year 2017, a plague has transformed most every human into vampires. Faced with a dwindling blood supply, the fractured dominant race plots their survival; meanwhile, a researcher works with a covert band of vamps on a way to save humankind.
