May 20, 200718 yr comment_35363 Does anyone know any details about the movie yet? Who will be producing it? When will the movie be in production/released? Who will be/has written the script? It would be great if it is going to be filmed in the UK! If there was the option to buy-in to the movie that would be great too. For the movie Outlaws, you could go onto the website and pay £180 to have your name on the credits and be an extra in the film. They even threw in a free T-shirt! :cool: Report
May 20, 200718 yr comment_35365 I don't think it's that far on yet Ed. They have just paid for the option which means they have the rights to make the movie but not necessarily the finances as yet. Report
May 21, 200718 yr comment_35366 Honestly?I would prefer if they cancelled the movie. Do not get me wrong...I really would like to watch it as a movie, but I am concerned that they can neither do the Wamphyri justice nor Continuum nor anything else. I fear that the Wamphyri will mutate to tame TV-Vampires lacking their viles, wisdom, intelligence and brutality and that the actors would like to give them a personal fuc**** touch!? Only think of Johnny Depp as a Lord of the Wamphyri...awful... Likewise the script.... I mean they can hardly use the book...so they will add more action scenes and cancel many of the talking parts..change...and diffuse.....no no no...not with me. I am out of it. Haha Report
May 21, 200718 yr comment_35369 Well that's unless I win £100 million on the Euro Lottery and finance it myself ... Here's hoping Report
May 22, 200718 yr Author comment_35378 It looks like this company is doing the movie: Evolving Pictures Entertainment 3151 Cuenga Blvd W. suite 110 los angeles, CA 90068 US Phone: 877-215-3646 E-mail: evolvingpictures@yahoo.com Sounds like they are an independent film company so I wouldn't expect big budget Hollywood effects! CGI is cheap enough now so they should be able to do a decent job with the special effects, it all depends on how committed they are to the project... Report
May 23, 200718 yr Author comment_35389 There have been many movies done on a small budget that have turned into cult classics; Evil Dead, Phantasm, Herbert West: Reanimator, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Hills have Eyes etc. etc. I think the key to their success lies mostly with the story and character development than the effects themselves. They have probably picked up the franchise because of the recent vampire movies like Blade and Underworld rather than Interview with the Vampire. There is also the added element of Deadspeak and government involvement that they can focus on to add a much richer tapestry to what is essentially an exhausted genre... Report
May 23, 200718 yr comment_35391 But they will need special effects..at least for the Continuum, the flashback to WW2 and the final Battle. But you're right about "story>effects" and they have a hell of a good one here ...so maybe there is still hope for me Report
June 1, 200718 yr comment_35446 Aaahhhhhh! But how do you create SFX for a total void. A big black empty nothing??? In effect, a vacuum. Report
June 1, 200718 yr comment_35450 surely filming with the lens cap on will suffice - I can't see how that's going to be expensive Report
June 1, 200718 yr comment_35451 :D Damn. I wish I'd have thought of that!! You're not barking mad really, are you Tom? Report
June 2, 200718 yr comment_35462 Either that or they film through your ear Chris :D :D Only joking mate...I couldn't resist... your question just begged for a joke reply !!!!! Report
June 2, 200718 yr comment_35466 I don't think it's that far on yet Ed. They have just paid for the option which means they have the rights to make the movie but not necessarily the finances as yet. There's one advantage in that. I think the more time that lapses, the more chance that someone pops up with the passion, the means, and the know-how to really do the story justice. e.g. Peter Jackson had the vision to keep the script of LOTR pretty much how it was meant to be. It's one of the best adaptations of a book/s I can recall. I liked the screenplay of King Kong as well-can imagine Starside in a similar 'light'. Guess we'll all be watching any developments Report
June 5, 200718 yr Author comment_35481 I just hope they don't hire Ewe Boll to direct it - he did Alone in the Dark and House of the Dead. Two films that I would rather rip my eyes from their sockets than have to endure again! I think that the people who did Silent Hill would be a good choice for this movie... Report
June 5, 200718 yr comment_35487 You'd make a perfect straight man.. In a comedy sense !!! Hey, I resemble that remark!! I'll have you know there's pure daylight thru my ears John!! Cheeky bugger. Ha! Report
June 9, 200718 yr comment_35535 Idon't think we have to worry about that Ed, I think Brian & co will have the insight to see a good director when they see one(give Peter Jackson the books to read). I am saying this in ignorance, as I dont know much about him, what I have heard is all negative critisism. Good news for ya Ed,he is in pre-production of Alone in the Dark:D . I just hope they don't hire Ewe Boll to direct it - he did Alone in the Dark and House of the Dead. Two films that I would rather rip my eyes from their sockets than have to endure again!

June 13, 200718 yr comment_35580 Hah my god, I renember Alone in the Dark and I did not manage to watch longer than 20 minutes. What a gruesome piece of s***. Ed, you are definitely right, let us hope they won't have to many pints and hire him for the movie Report
June 13, 200718 yr comment_35582 Do you guys know something I don't? This speculation about Uwe Boll, there's no talk of using him is there? Report
June 14, 200718 yr Author comment_35597 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... Report
June 15, 200718 yr comment_35600 What do you know about it so far Ed? and who is AITD?:confused: thanx mate Report

It ain't rocket science. And we've actually made 1 or 2 good films over here................ allegedly :eek: Report
