Any info about the movie yet?

[matman72]

Do you guys know something I don't? This speculation about Uwe Boll, there's no talk of using him is there?

[Ilya Sul]

Fortunately not

[Erudite Ed]

I was just thinking of Ewe because AITD was the last big budget mythos-based film I could think of...

My only other concern is that if the production company is based in the US are they going to be able to come to the UK for location shoots or are we going to see an American Harry with a dodgy english accent walking around a US town that we are meant to believe is in the UK?

I suppose the easiest solution would be to change the story so it is all based in the US instead...

[matman72]

What do you know about it so far Ed? and who is AITD?
thanx mate

Ok, worst case scenario, I agree. But why not just make the whole damn film in the UK? It ain't rocket science. And we've actually made 1 or 2 good films over here................ allegedly

AITD = Alone In The Dark

I agree, making the film in the UK would be great - I'd be first in the queue to be an extra!

Who knows, maybe Evolving Pictures Entertainment will do a great job, I mean they have produced 2 films so far and they have one in production for release in 2008 so they must know what they are doing!

By the way, I have no insider knowlege of what is going on with the movie - I only found the name of the production company by checking out the registration for the necrosopethemovie.com domain name!

Correction: Evolving Pictures Entertainment have produced 1 independent film and a short...

[matman72]

Alone In The Dark, should of seen that.
Evolving pictures hey? i'll checkout IMDB.
thanx man

[matman72]

Just checked out IMDB - doesn't look promising.
Evolving Pictures have used a Canadian guy, Harris Goldberg to direct both of their films, Where's Angelo? and Love Conquers Paul(also wrote).
Has anybody heard of these films, sound like pornos to me.

Harris Goldberg is also known for writing:
- Deuce Bigalow (both of 'em).
-Without A Paddle.
-The Master Of Disguise.
(As comedies, Bigalow & Paddle provide a laugh-thats all i can say there.)

-Numb.;wrote and directed.
-Les Boys.;wrote and directed.
Haven't heard of these(not sure i want to)
-There's a few more not worth mention here.

Evolving Pictures' third film Mad Monster Party(in production) is being written by Joey Murphy, Joel Pardee- Cop this:
These guys write & produce TV shows, e.g.Desperate Housewives, Cybill.

I mean, should we be worried? Sounds like this company specialise in comedies, as for their 'fav. writer', I've laughed at 2 of his movies, haven't heard of the rest.
The film being made(another comedy) has Desperate Housewives writer/producers on board.
For our collective sanity, this can't be the same production company doing the webpage, if so, thats why it hasn't changed in over two years-they are way out of their element. For the first time ever I hope the movie plans fail, with this co. anyway.

You can check the domain details - called a WHOIS lookup here:

If you look at the second film it is actually a 20 minute short - some good actors in it though...

I liked the master of disguise and deuce bigalow, but like you say if they specialise in comedies and TV shows then what the hell are they doing buying the rights to a horror???

[Envy_the_Homunculi]

If it was me Peter Jackson would be the best canidate to direct it but he would need a good producer and well known producer maybe Steven Spielburg or George Lucas...

On top of that you need good actors to play the parts for instance...

Young Harry: How bout the same guy who plays Harry Potter
Boris Dragosani: How bout Jeromy Irons
20's Harry: Could be anyone

[matman72]

I agree 200% with Peter Jackson but Daniel Ratcliffe(potter) is too typecast now, it's a shame, he's pretty good, besides they've agreed to do the entire series. Could be tied up for a while, Deathly hallows isn't out until July 22(?), or thereabouts. Maybe he can play the older Harry Keogh by then.

[Ilya Sul]

Think Irons is a little bit too old to play Dragosani, because he was barely thirty when he became Thibors egg son.

[pheral]

All who I know who have read the books have fallen in love with them. I hope whoever has a say in a film reads the books and develops a similar love. It would be a real shame to spoil the books with the film. The harry potter films tried hard and while being good just could not capture the essence of the books. In my view anything that comes even half close to the spirit of the necroscope books is going to be great.

[soul]

The trouble is it would be very good or very bad. The movie being really rubbish is what bothers me. having said that anyone who`s read. Interview with the vampire will no that the books not that great. yet the film was not a bad movie.

[Chris Banks]

Just hope it's dark - very dark and claustrophobic!!

[sdkdmd]

Just hope it's dark - very dark and claustrophobic!!

Will we still be able to see and if it's that dark don't get close to me. Stay back.

[Markus]

I'd like the see a cross between "silent hill" "V for vendetta" and hellraiser

but that would most likely send half the population to the looney bin ......well i guy can dream i guess

[Chris Banks]

Looney bins are cool!!

[posem]

whatever u say chris, it just better be good IF they make it, nebody watched heroes? i suppose it wud be cool if they made the books in 1 hour tv parts like these new tv drama things, (lost, heroes, ect).

btw i got a D in my german gcse, not bad for doing it 2 years early
