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!

 

More on Evolving Pictures Entertainment here:

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

Alone In The Dark, should of seen that:o.

Evolving pictures hey? i'll checkout IMDB.

thanx man

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:confused:.

Harris Goldberg is also known for writing:

- Deuce Bigalow (both of 'em).

-Without A Paddle.

-The Master Of Disguise.:eek:

(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.:mad:

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???

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

 

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

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

Looney bins are cool!!

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

Ausgezeichnet, junge!! Well done.

Not sure about the 1 hour TV dooberys though!!

Hi All,

 

Glenn Hetrick, who owns Optic Nerve Special Effects Company, is doing the fx on Heroes. We just saw him on Heroes Unmasked.

 

Glenn has been in touch with us for years wanting to get Necroscope into film. It was Glenn that found Evolving and since then the movie has been optioned for years. In fact, the option runs out this month and we'll have to see what happens then.

if Glenn Hetrick wants to do it and he is pretty high up in the order of the heroes management stuff, (cos special effects is one of the main things on heroes so he must be one of the top ppl).

 

cudn't u ask him if he could get in touch with the ppl that do heroes and ask em if they wanna do this.

 

it could be like they do a pilot episode and then see where it goes. cos if heroes got over 4 mill ppl on its pilot ep, imagine how many more wud watch it with vampires and stuff.

 

also, who plays peter petrelli in heroes? i can sort of see him as harry, possibly the younger one cos he looks around the "23's" age.

 

just an idea, though they might be more willing to make it if you have some money? i dont no whether u have ne funding or nething already, but cudn't u make like necroscope t shirts and stuff. just random junk advertising the film because most gullible ppl wud buy em then. or if u sign copies of brian's books and ebay em or sumt, just raise some money and say like, that ur willing to use that to finance it a bit. they cud be more swayed.

 

thats what my friend did when he made troops, look it up on youtube, its a star wars thing. he sold junk at my school and over the net advertising it and he made tons. those storm trooper costumes alone are worth a bit and he paid his uncle's and cousins to be in it. and he did all that just by selling some stuff over the net and the film has been a big hit on youtube.

 

just a few ideas..

Well, we are supposed to be meeting Glenn at the signing in Vegas so I'm sure there will be lots of things discussed then. We'll keep you all informed of any happenings or not.

I am going to use my musician influences, to

contact friends of the band, TOOL,

to tell them the importance of this movie,

the fact that it has the potential to be the greatest movie series of all time,

and request them to contact this movie company,

and offer assistance!

 

MWAHAHAHAHA!

It's been a long time since I posted so bear with me if I am slightly ignorant. I have been reading, actually skimming over this thread, and the one thing that hasn't been brought up yet, unless I missed it, is whether with the amount of violence that the Wamphyri cause and how graphic it would have to be to get the story right, would the movies still be made and if they were made how would the violence be dealt with?

 

I would love to see these books in film, but without the Wamphyri being as violent as they are would it be the same and would it be any good?

 

Then after the violence is taken care of the sex comes next. Here in America this movie would be chopped to bits or it would be given an NC-17 rating which is one under X. And if I remember correctly some of those sex scenes would be considered way, way, way over the line and would definitely be on the high XXX scale.

 

I love these books and as most, if not all of you, recommend these books constantly. Putting them in film would be, I think, difficult. If it happens, which I hope it does, I will be the first in line to see it and hope it turns out spectacularly.

 

Life is like a box of chocolates...holds a new meaning when you're Wamphri!!

can u imagine them trying to put into pictures the scene with harry & karen having sex???

oh dear lol

I can imagine it, but I cant imagine them doing much more than the generalized 'two bodies together', if they even go there at all. If they do it would be like every other scene you see, unlikely we'll see the passion, frenzy and ..err...positions we visualize when reading it.

Maybe they can do a XXX porno themed on it:eek::grin:. mmmm thats an idea:grin:

that sounds kinda fun matt, how about not just that though, but like cos they are vampires there is a lot of fighting and lust and domination going about in the sex. because the vampires fight and like to dominate, so we can have harry riding karen and then she starts biting him and he is taking it as a sex act, then they start at it again on their backs with harry on top and karen kicks him off (because she is a dominent vampire so she wants to be on top) and harry goes flying through a wall, then karen leaps on top and it starts up again. and it could like, trash the whole top floor of the stack. because thats what they do partly in the book.

:grin:now THATS pretty damn funny, would be good to see
