First location picture (taken this week) from the set of Lenny Abrahamson’s Frank (2013), based on the memoir by Jon Ronson.

From left: Maggie Gyllenhall, Michael Fasssbender (who plays Frank) and Domhnall Gleeson.

Frank is  “a fictional story loosely inspired by Frank Sidebottom”, the persona of cult musician Chris Sievey who died in 2010.

QF191 was approximately 20 minutes into its 6.15am flight from Cairns to Port Moresby when a woman suddenly pointed outside of the plane and declared to cabin crew: “My goodness there’s a snake on the wing… there’s its head and if you look closely you can see a fraction of its body too.”

What intrigued us far more than the sexy content however was the bodacious number of Twitter followers that Sidelines had in its back pocket.

We searched around to see if LeBron James or BOD had given the account a plug on Twitter but no, nothing.

Oh.
