The Last Battleground (Page 2 of 11)

Okay Folks.
Here's what's going on.
We are currently shooting:
THE COMPLEX
So most of the updates, if it's not about a films release is going to be about this movie. The film revolves around a man, who wakes up in a hallway with no idea who he is or how he got there, the only clue is the number 109 etched into his arm. He's chased by some kind of black creature, which eventually leaves him alone, and quickly finds other people, none of them remember who they are or how they got there either all they know is that there is no escape, and if they get out of line or cause trouble, the black creature (known as The Keeper) will take care of them. They all have numbers, and they are content. They take a drug called ambrosia, if you take the drug with someone else and you're touching them, you'll both go to the same place, a kind of dream world. They  live their lives, taking their drugs, they don't make waves and they live out their days not trying to question or escape...but this new guy, 109 is not having it...he will find a way out...even if he destroys everyone and everything in the process.

I've got about an hour all edited, should be about a month, maybe  a month and a half worth of shooting and we'll be wrapped. Here's some pics for ya-

And here's a couple of badass promo shots/posters. More of these to come!
We start filming again in March so you'll be getting new shots as they roll in!

I think I'm going to start it's own thread but for a quick update, Down Twisted the webseries part 6 in now LIVE!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9EWabfzAUM

Down Twisted part 6 is my second favorite part that’s going to be put up, it’s freaking NONSTOP action for 7 minutes straight. It doesn't slow down for a second. In this installment, it’s an all out free for all as the mutants attack the gang! Hunter and Wagner OWN this part, they kick so much ass it's ridiculous but finally we see Deacon vs. Alex and we find out a secret about Jordan! There’s only two more installments left before it’s over…but if you only watch ONE of these…this is the one to watch! There’s spine ripping, penis cutting, sword fighting, fist flying, knife throwing, slicing and dicing and mutants getting cut in half and heads being punched off…and well…it’s a good one, very fun stuff, and I’m still amazed at how much craziness we managed to pull off!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?  This is incredible news, Sonny.    And you deserve it to boot!!!

PS How's the face, love?

Doing GREAT. It was a rough two weeks man, very interesting. I literally got stares where ever I went, small children were running from me in horror, I really did look like some kind of whacked out Batman villain for a while there, with my one huge bleeding red eye and yellow/brown face.
But I'm pretty much back to normal again, face is still a little swollen and my eye is still dark, but my eye's have always been dark so it ain't that bad. Thanks for asking Maven

Hey cool! Let me know what you think, my movies are pretty wild man, very old school! The Aborted's going to be out in a week or two, that one's only going to be 11 bucks, was gonna go for 9 but they ain't going that low haha, but hey I figured 11 bucks is a decent asking price.

Here's a few more Complex posters! We're filming again on SUNDAY so prepare yourself for the first filming blog. Those folks who want to know what it's like to do this kind of stuff should find it interesting.

OK! Filming is going again! FINALLY!

Pissed my cast off pretty bad tonight, you know I just have a severe lack of sympathy for people, just my nature you know? People start complaining I'm usually just like, "Shut the fuck up and buck up you goddamn baby." That's just how I am I guess, maybe it's a Southern thing...I don't know...but haha eesh they were pissed. But they'll get over it you know? Making movies is HARD work, never for a second think that's it's easy, and kind of being the architect of everything, you really gotta PUSH people sometimes, even when they don't want to be pushed, and when you do it make no mistake...they will HATE you for it. But you just have to have faith that in the end, when the movie's done, it'll kick all kinds of ass, and it'll be worth it!

That reminds me of The Exorcist shoot.    He put those peeps through hell and it turned out to be a classic.  Sometimes you just gotta get down and dirty.

Thanks Sonny. I've been working with some effects on my film but i was curious o know how other people are doing it. We are using an hd cam with a 35mm letus adapter on it our shoot. We also built a pretty cool cave set. I'm always interested to get different opinions on what works at this level. I'm on my second feature but i'm always learning as a Director/Writer/Editor.
Thanks.

You'll be able to buy this badboy in a few days!

April 1st? Hmmmm I'm going to try my damnest man! No promises, but I'm working on it every day. If not April 1st it's hitting April for sure.

About The Aborted-

I've received emails from male sexists, feminists, right to life advocates, pro-abortion supporters, and even from a plumber telling me it's impossible to flush a dead baby down a toilet. They missed the point. Poor things. I am not anti-abortion. But I am anti-waste, anti-pain, and anti-self-brutalization. I'm not going tell folks what the point of the movie is, ppl need to figure that shit out for themselves.

The ABORTED is now for SALE right here!-

Haha, like I said man, when you get your hands on a copy, I highly suggest listening to the commentary and watching the behind the scenes stuff. I still can't believe some of the shit we pulled off for that one.

Well, sometimes shit don't work out...so you see all those pics of 13 up there? Ehhh, she's kinda done, as in, fired, it happens sometimes. We're replacing her with my pal Jess, new pics of her will be up in a few days...and it's gonna take like 2 or 3 days to refilm the shit, nothing disastrous though! Movie is moving right along...we're well into the LAST bit now! I don't know what ppl will think of this one...there's lots of action...bits off horror...sci fi stuff...and some of the stuff I have coming out is going to be crazy (gonna have to pretty much transform my whole apartment) but I do know it's going to keep ppl guessing all the way through!

Yeeeaaahh, hitting up some festivals is DEFINITELY a good idea, I'm going to try to start hitting up as many horror movie conventions as I can.

Well, we fired the old 13...she had to go....she could never film and she couldn't film for the next like 2 weeks...soooo

had to let her go.

But here's the NEW 13...and we've already re-shot the old 13's stuff and we even got some new stuff 

Will do ghattprod!

Here's Horrornews.nets review of THE ABORTED! Always interesting reading other peoples thoughts on my flicks!

"I've seen shit, and shit this ain't. If you're looking for horror that financially demands you use your imagination at the same time as it refuses to insult your intelligence, you can't go wrong with Down Twisted, and The Aborted is certainly as good a start as any."
