Over the last few weeks, what I’ve heard from several sources about the current status of “GallowWalker” hasn’t been all that great, for the film itself, creatively, and for those of us in the crew who remain to be paid. Current events, namely, three years in the clink for Dr. Snipes, sounds even worse, for reasons I really can’t get into, for the film, it’s handful of fans and…
Wow, Trent Reznor is really doing this whole online distribution thing properly; first it was a very affordable 36-track epic, released (until recently) exclusively online in brilliant quality … now, NIN’s new single “Discipline”, brand new (apparently it was mastered only a day or two ago), with vocals, not just something off the weeks old “Ghosts I-IV”, which can be yours just by giving your e-mail address.
Hey, I…
It was the first fully warm day in the UK today, that I was grateful for. To celebrate, we had a meeting with some “miniature people”, in hopes that they would take on the task of building the city of Red Roxeter for “eF”.
Nestled in the middle of nowhere — and I mean nowhere, basically just farmland all around — were the couple of ramshackle warehouses that…
It has been a busy last couple of months … the script is now down to under 120 pages (from around 325!) with most of the background material now slotted for an accompanying graphic novel, and I can say, it is a cracking good read overall.
Unfortunately, with revisions, comes some abandoned designs and concepts (including The Occipita, which would have been…
I’ve heard rumors for the last couple of days, but now Shortlist magazine is confirming that king of all thing comedic, Ricky Gervais (”The Office”, “Extras”) will be making an appearance in Liberty City’s The Comedy Club.
“It was shot in New York, my favorite place in the world,” says Gervais as reported by Games Radar, “and I got to wear a tight lycra suit as part of the digital…
I had great hopes for Montage when it was first released, as, prior to this, the only options you had for screenwriting on a Mac were badly-ported, rarely-updated, and bug-prone Windows apps. I did have reservations though. Final Draft, pretty much the industry standard screenplay software out there, had already gone through years of development and professional feedback, while new kid on the block, Montage, from Mariner Software…
At NAB this year, RED announced a whole crap-load of new products which included the “Scarlett”. There is so much right about Scarlett, it must be wrong … it’s basically the same technology as REDOne, which I’ve been very excited about and have been promoting to anyone who will listen (without ever having even touched one), but captures at 1K less (3K for those as bad at math as…
For this installment of my own recollections of the making of the film “GallowWalker” in Namibia at the end of 2006, I actually have some making-of videos that I put together at the time (with the help of Nicky Matthew, who shot the footage for the official making-of, which I assume, will eventually accompany the DVD whenever the film is released in whatever form) which were intended to sort of…
It’s strange that just last night I was watching “Total Recall” with some friends and I realized how much Arnold Schwarzenegger resembled Charlton Heston in features and acting style in some of the scenes, and started wondering what Ridley Scott’s proposed version of “I Am Legend” (to star Schwarzenegger) would have been like, especially as a pseudo-remake of “Omega Man”, which I still consider to be a brilliant movie, starring…
