Cool, I was hoping someone was going to cover Chris Keaton screenplay. It was a good read.

Welcome to the contest!
 
I'm looking forward to this production myself. If... everything goes according to plan... the story should be a fast and frightening ride. I'm starting this thread earlier in the pre-production phase than I did in LossFest. So, right now I basically have a script, some locations, a crew and equipment.

At the moment, I'm waiting on two things before moving forward - the two child actors and WWII wardrobe. I should have more information by this weekend.

It has several elements I like. The WWII scenery, a vintage jack-in-the-box (frightening toy) and children in creepy situations. The threat is bigger when children are involved. Chris also wrote the script respectfully, not stepping on the director's toes. He left room for creative interpretation.
 
This should be a good...even if Chris did write the script! (I kid) Looking forward to it, this theme seemed to work well for Tarantino.

I'm still looking for a David Bowie song to put in this film.

Nice! welcome back. I'm sure the script and the direction of said script will be top notch.

This poster is a 'work in progress.' I'm glad the marketing hype is catching attention. Now, I have to live up to it. :lipsrseal
 
Marshall hit the nail on the head - 'Scary Monsters and Super Creeps.' His music acumen is impressive.

Zaza... 'Fame' is a little too bourgeois for me, but a good try.
