Filming in Thailand for Quo's debut feature film 'Care Factor Zero' has now been put back until February 2009. Although the majority of the financing for the film is now in place, it has been decided to delay filming (originally scheduled for February 2008) due to demands on the band to promote the 'In Search of the Fourth Chord' album outside of Europe during this period. The script has now been rewritten to include sequences of Quo at a live gig in Bangkok!
