Jack Daniel Stanley & Mark Johnson's REKINDLED

Sweet mask! The final stages of the picture are awesome, Jack.

Does the polaroid have a place in the movie, a la Memento? Or is it only being used in the artwork?

I'm wondering if the girl reflected in the welding mask is actually supposed to have taken that picture...

Or maybe I'll just have to wait and see :)
 
The mask reminded me of a very old amstrad/commodore game...I think it was Trojan...not sure...

Good find Jack!
 
bwahaha!
For some reason, your comment made my loose my snizzle jp
... maybe it's cuz it sounds kinda naughty :grin: ... there's just something inherently funny about the phrase "nice helmet".

Alright ... now to hunt down that vintage record player ... hmmmm ...
 
ha ... it may be more likley to wind up being that,
as I think it just got cut as per a character change from a script meeting tonight
... but not for sure yet.
 
Ok sorry no updates ... been actually working on the movie rather than this thread for a change, lol :cheesy,

But here goes, and thanks for the intrest guys, really :thumbsup:

What up Jack? how's everything coming? Script?
Click to expand...
Draft 13 :eek: of the script underworks ... with Draft 10 (completed 2 days ago) I finally got the script where I liked it. This has been holding things up because the logic of the screenplay's world is so tied up with the killers pathology that everything had to be just right, and as of Draft 10 I am finally able to begin working with people and giving them hard decisions. I imagine another 3 to 5 drafts at least before I'm satisfied to shoot however.

SOME UPDATE TEASERS ... (more status report really)
  1. The welding helmet is cut ... remember what I said about the pathology of the killer being a crucial balance, i.e. what does he use and why does he use it? Well as the script developed the Helmet became harder and harder to justify in utilitarian terms of his character. It may make it's way back in but it's gone for now, though I loved the look of it. Also, didn't one of the guys in Hostel wear a welding mask? Maybe it was on to brief to matter, but still. Oh well, the danger of promoting something before the script is even finished, lol.

    Also, in addition to Amy our female lead:

  2. I have cast the Male Lead. I'll make an official announcement about Jason soon when I have a head shot for him etc., but totally excited about this guy. Saw him in a play with Amy actually where he played the leader of a Zombie army believe it or not, and wrote the part for him. Actually I wrote both parts for both leads.
  3. We also have added 2 very exciting someones that you all know to the post production team but I'll announce that later too. Wan't to do it all with the proper pomp you understand :thumbsup:

Hmmm ... can't say too much ... will have some dolly and style tests for you in the next couple of days though.

I will say that
1) my new skycrane will get some use ... boy value that thing adds to the shot, especially wit the dolly

2) In terms of style I was
inspired in a general since by films like:
  • the Ringu series (original)
  • Grudge (original)
    equally with
  • Hostel
  • Wolf Creek
  • High tension
  • Devil Rejects
Or maybe about 65% J Horror Renaissance and 35 % Nouveau Grindhouse

And yet perhaps more specifically by:
  • Les Yeux Sans Visage (eyes without a face)
  • Se7en
  • Hellraiser 1
  • Audition
  • Mothman Prophecies
  • Wendigo
  • Momento
  • November
  • Psycho
  • Asian Featurette Horror Anthology "Extremes" 1 & 2
  • Asian Short Horror Anthology "Underworld" and "Legend"
  • The Literary Horror Anthology (as in books) Borderlands.
While favorites Still Include:
  • Hell Raiser 2
  • The Thing
  • Halloween
  • Halloween 2
  • Evil Dead 2
  • Scanners
  • Jeepers Creepers until they show the monster
  • Jaws
  • Misery
  • The Howling
  • Altered States
  • Nightmare 1
  • (and more I'm forgetting right now)

I can't express how much I'm looking forward to this one. All the style you just listed in a short horror film... awesome.

I liked the welding mask though. You should put it in the background of one of your sets to add scariness and because you almost used it in the movie. I'd watch for it.
 
"The welding helmet is cut..."

Sometimes you gotta kill your darlings, so they say.

Looking forward to it. You da man!
