So, there’s a new St. Trinian’s movie on the way. Most “Spanking Writers” readers will doubtless share our affection for the series, described as “nostalgic hymns to a golden age of juvenile delinquency”.
I’ve just drafted my job application:
English gentleman, experienced in many of the more old-fashioned educational techniques necessary for the film. Open to offers for acting (housemaster or similar), script development or wardrobe work.
That should do the trick.
Actually, perhaps they should cast the film via one of these reality TV shows, in which girls have to convince the public of their suitability. I want to see the episode in which applicants are tested for their reaction to a sound caning of the sort that must surely be a feature of the film.
I just have a feeling we may all be disappointed by the lack of canings, spankings, slipperings and hairbrush spankings for talking after lights out in the dorm in the film and will have to supply our own sub-plots. Still, I’m sure I’m not the only one who does that on a daily basis anyway!
The newspaper report I saw (Daily Express) said that the producers wanted Kiera Knightley as head girl and that they were aiming to make the films more sexy than the orginals …. oh please, please, please can I have a set pass!
Kiera Knightley in school uniform…? Nope, doesn’t do it for me. (Honest).
Apparently they’re going to have Natalie Portman playing a sixth-former who gets called into the Headmaster’s study for a caning.
(Oh, hold on, maybe I just made that up. But if one writes it on the web and enough people link to it, then maybe, just maybe, the producers will feel that the groundswell of opinion is such that…. OK, no, probably won’t work!)

Worth trying though, and let’s face it, if there was some completely anonymous market research done into the subject and people could say what they really felt and what they’d most want from a St. Trinians film (in addition to the uniforms of course!) without fear of recrimination, reprisals, embarrassment etc etc the groundswell of opinion probably would be such that…!!
