Almost completed the rewrite on the new horror feature.  Hope to have it solid by the weekend so it can go out next week.  In the meantime, I'm looking to lockdown development deals on a sci-fi book adaptation and an out-of-this world sci-fi concept.  Things are cooking on the action-adventure series front as the pilot…

Setting the new script aside for a day or two so I can recharge, recalibrate, and hopefully come back at it with fresh eyes - and ideas for a new scene or two. https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1642599880743964672 Fears are no doubt overblown (Remember Y2K?), but just in case... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1642617394697846792 Yeah, that's what I figured. How Mobile Phones Have…

First draft of the new script complete!  At 83 pages, it is, admittedly, a little light, even by horror standards but a re-read in the coming days will hopefully yield ideas for a new scene or opportunities to flesh what's already there. Speaking of horror, head over to twitter and vote in The Tournament of…

Sputnik (2020) The lone survivor of an enigmatic spaceship incident hasn't returned home alone - hiding inside his body is a dangerous creature. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGgtRsvq6hc My thoughts: A little too slow. A little too long. The Russian retro vibe and creature FX are great, but the whole feels all too reminiscent of what has come before.…

Hoowee!  I came up with - in the words of Brad Wright - a positively grinchy idea for a new horror script.  I'm about 40 pages in, almost at the halfway mark, and loving it.  The plan is to have a rough first draft by next week, a second draft rewrite for the week after,…

So, last Saturday, my laptop died.  Ish.  It powered up, but the screen remained dark.  After much troubleshooting, I was resigned to likelihood my laptop had given up the ghost and switched to my old back-up laptop (which Akemi had suggested I upgrade because she feared it was near the end of its lifespan.  Given…

Upgrade (2018) Set in the near-future, technology controls nearly all aspects of life. But when the world of Grey, a self-labeled technophobe, is turned upside down, his only hope for revenge is an experimental computer chip implant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36PDeN9NRZ0&t=37s My thoughts: he hyper-kinetic action sequences are inspired, but the script much less so. Still, while predictable,…

Sunday stroll. Resting up for her next meal. Picture Perfect. Derpy... Relaxed... Messy egg time... Sneezy!

So what kind of Stargate series does Amazon have in the works? Nobody knows, but we DO have a firm sense of what Stargate fans would like to see... Time will tell! And a little trip down memory lane... Rumble in the Jungle First Impressions Alien Outtake  (courtesy of VFX Supervisor Mark Savela) Suji's awesome…

Chimera... The things that stands out for me about this episode was the title which, over the course of prep, production, and post, was pronounced anyone of about a half dozen ways: Ki-mera, Kee-mera, Kee-meera, Chi-mera, Chy-mera, Chy-meera – and variations thereof.  Damian Kindler was the king of the obtuse episode titles and, after following…

The Outwaters (2022) Four travelers encounter menacing phenomena while camping in a remote stretch of the Mojave Desert. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6Du7TvNqvY My thoughts: Twisted, terrifying, and tedious. A experimental experience, roughly 20 minutes too long. 3/5 Livid (2011) The suggestion of a big treasure hidden somewhere inside Mrs Jessel's once renowned classical dance academy will become an…
