Things will be sparse here for a couple of weeks, now. I’m deep into the writing process, aiming to have the first draft of the script written by the end of the first week in June. It would have been done by now, but I lost three weeks to illness, which, given my […]

There are probably two different kinds of screenwriters. The kind who start with a blank sheet of paper and just bull through to the end of the thing, and the expanders, like me.
People like me work as if they’re applying coats of paint to the same surface. The only blank sheet of paper […]

Current Blog Nemesis “Otaku-Man” asks, in comments passim:
There seriously needs to be a discussion thread or a blog entry about fan input about music.
So here it is.
There will be no fan input on music.
This isn’t a crowdsourced collaboration, people. The production company enjoys and appreciates your enthusiasm, but this is just a production blog. […]

Is “Otaku-Man.” Geezer, give it up. You’re not writing the film, and I’m not “having trouble.” You get to wear The Turd Cape Of Shame™ for the rest of the week.

It is a place where you can have a dialogue amongst yourselves and also with the producers, writer, artists, director, etc. […]

One big story, Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse, told across three movies. Grant is not in the first movie. From Warren’s earlier post Cutting The Pirate, here it is again -

No, you’re not getting it.
We want to do three films.

One thing that I don’t think has been made clear thus far: the CASTLEVANIA film is not, as it were, for children.
What brought me onboard, beyond the word CASTLEVANIA, was producer Kevin Kolde telling me upfront that he did not want this to be a kids’ movie. The freedom of d2DVD meant that we […]
