A Bit More of Clonehunter PR

A little press release from InkTip. I saw the synopsis for Eric's new picture, it's a horror movie and it looks pretty dynamite!

Ooh look!

An interview with Eric Steele, the writer of Clone Hunter.

Here's my favorite quote: "Some of the scenes I'd written would give James Cameron a headache. Pursuits on hoverbikes, floating casinos, talking gorillas - no sane individual would even think of tackling such a project without a studio budget."

Clone Hunter Day

It's Clonehunter day! Today (Tuesday August 10th, 2010) is the day that Clone Hunter is released in North America.

'Tis exciting. Get yourself a copy!

Other news is that I just got the art from the Japanese version of the movie but I can't show it right now until the distributor lifts the embargo.

Earthkiller Day... er... 6?

If we just wrapped the sixth day of Earthkiller, then we must be at the halfway mark.

Oh Yeah, Baby!

Clonehunter is on its way to me!

Day 5 (part... c?) of Earthkiller

I gotta remember that we didn't get to scenes 44, 46, and 60 on the fifth day of shooting Earthkiller. Really, I dramatically over-booked that day of shooting.

And I'm exhausted. Luckily we have a relatively tame half-day of shooting and our set is already up and in place.

Here's Nat Cassidy and Alaina Hammond -- they hear creatures, they're not sure where they're coming from.

Alaina Hammond as Therin.

I suspect that we'll be able to get the scenes we didn't get to yesterday on another day -- I bet they really should have been scheduled on another day but I had a wrong idea (when I scheduled) about what sets would be where/when. I probably thought we were going to mostly use the corridor Mike Kessell built for Alien Uprising.

Tom Rowen as Tennyson.

Welcome to the re-invigoration/rebreathers

You can't get away from this joke.

Brian Schiavo made these cool rebreathers for Earthkiller.

I didn't notice until today that they said "C57D" on them. That's the designation of the ship in Forbidden Planet. It's also the designation of at least two ships in the Joss Whedon Firefly universe.

And now it's the designation of our rebreathers.

I think the only more famous ship designation would be Star Trek's Enterprise, with "NCC-1701". But even non-geeks know that one. The C57D joke is strictly an in-joke for dorks. So, er, I got it right away.

Don't bother reading below!

Announcing Pre-Production on Day 2

That's pretty well all I have to say about that. We want to shoot in February of 2010. Lots more about this on my personal blog.

September

What I mean is we're going to shoot yet another picture in September, 2008. The project is 0802 The Uprising by Joshua James.

Space marines land on a prison planet to put down a prisoner uprising, only to find trouble which is much much worse. Now the marines have to join forces with the prisoners just to make it off the planet alive.

Start Date

We're going to shoot another picture starting on March 1, 2008.

More information forthcoming.

Angry Planet is Go.

So there is a to-do list:
1. Name Talent
2. Schedule (boards are already done, but #1 will dictate the calendar)
3. Location (best guess: we're doing decrepit Queens and Brooklyn for a post-apocalyptic world).
4. Casting

Please send me your script

Mac,

I've only got time to get out a burst communication through the ionosphere while the drones are patrolling above this bunker. I can't let them triangulate on my position, so I gotta make this brief.

I pulled a data-load from the Hive about 20 seconds before a short-range tactical nuke took it out. I know, it's dangerous, but I have the nanobots quarantined in stasis until I can get the whole packet to a safe machine. Some of it was human readable (or at least it was in hex which my deck could spit out in image form at me before the nuke shock) and I got the "release" codes for all the HK android teams.

But here's the thing - the sat comm is going to be up over the horizon in fifteen minutes, and I can't access that without the key which is in your computer. I don't know how the nanos got into your machine and read all the data, and I don't know why they've chosen you over anyone else, but unless you get me the entire script as you have it on your drive immediately, the human race will be wiped out by sometime T-minus 43r.

Please Mac, just send it. My life, all our lives... depend on it. They depend on you. The fate of mankind rests in your hands. Send me whatever you have right away and we can stop them!
