Good news for all those who are interested in Spud – the Movie: the film adaptation of John van de Ruit’s Spud is 90 percent financed and filming is set to begin next in KwaZulu Natal next year, according to IOL Tonight:

With about 90 percent of the R41-million budget now raised for the planned film version of John van de Ruit’s first book in his hit Spud series, the film shoot is set for early next year in Durban and at Michaelhouse in the KZN Midlands.

Arts editor Billy Suter caught up with the Durban-based author to chat about castings, cash flow and other news about the film and the books.
