Nikki's Bio
|
I have been writing about international film for various print and online publications for the past decade and have recently become Editor of bi-monthly UK film mag movieScope. Dedicated to all aspects of the film industry, it's a must-read whether you're a movie maker or film fan. I have loved films ever since I saw a re-run of Dumbo as a kid, and while studying cinema at Leicester University I became a reviewer for the student paper, Ripple, taking over as Film Editor in my final year.
After graduating I got a job at the UK's longest running movie mag Film Review where I worked my way up from producation assistant to becoming the first female Editor in its history. I have written about film and culture for a variety of magazines and websites, including BBC Online, Little White Lies, Filmstar and Kodak's In Camera. I also have a weekly slot on BBC Three Counties Radio every Tuesday at 4pm, delivering the latest movie news as Lorna Milton's resident Queen of the Screen.

They spoke about making the movie...

Eighties action movies will always hold a special place in cinematic history, their glorious excesses a continuing influence.
