The BIG Announcement!
All right! Haven’t been around for a while but we’ve been busy. Busy I tell you!
I’ve finally got some big news to report. Well, at least big to us. Pretty damn big to me.
We’re making another film! You heard right, we’re making another film! And it’s not a comedy!
We are currently in pre-production on a film called PROBED. Can’t tell you much about the story but you can pretty much figure some stuff out from the title. It’s horror. There’s a monster in it. It’s not going to be shot by the actors.
PROBED!!!
We have the money, we are spending it and we are going full-steam ahead on this sucker! At last!
JEFF JOHNSeN turned me on to the PROBED script more than a year ago and it turned out the writer, JAMIE NASH, lived 40 minutes from me. It was just one of those things. I mean I live in Frederick, Maryland, not exactly the filmmaking capital of the world, and after reading dozens of scripts (Jeff probably read over a hundred at least) from all over the country I end up digging the script of a writer that lives 40 minutes from me. It was a sign, I tell you. A sign.
So Jamie and I started collaborating and after about 8 drafts we’re getting it going on.
I will direct with BLAIR WITCH producers GREGG HALE and ROB COWIE producing. MIKE MONELLO (also of BW fame) will co-produce along with MATT COMPTON (old school friend from back at UCF) and our own JEFF JOHNSeN.
We will be starting principal photography in May at UNIVERSAL STUDIOS in Orlando. We are casting right now and have plenty of other news to report so we’ll try to keep you all in the loop as much as possible.
That’s it for now but we are all damn excited about this one. We’ve been waiting a long time to make another film together and it seems like the stars are all aligning on PROBED. Let’s hope for continued stellar alignment and good things for 2005!
More news soon…
