My new ZOMBIE FILM project - THE ESCAPE

[DjfunkmasterG]

Well I feel well rested and eager to jump back into the filming fold once again. I have drafted a 17 page screenplay titled THE ESCAPE which is DIE HARD meets RETURN of the LIVING DEAD. The script is in it's initial draft and I have been tweaking it as I go along. So far those whom have read it seem to like it. I have been asked by one person to expand on it a little more, by about 15 pages. Which I will most likely do, but as it stands it could be done off this draft. I am going to budget it around $10,000 simply because I think I will need that much do to the sheer amount of zombies needed. The script calls for at least 500 members of the walking dead and 95% of the film takes place inside a multiplex theater. I have also introduced a twist for my zombies. yes they will RUN, but the new twist is something, if executed right, will be a nice thing to see evolve in the film. If everything goes right I should be able to start shooting this in October of 2007 and have it done by Spring 2008. I am serving as writer and director, I will most likely serve as a composer once again as well. As the news progresses I will keep you all posted. Dj

Excellent news, it sounds like it's gonna rock.

Hey Minion... got a question. I was talking with Lou Cipherr today on the phone and we talked about this screenplay which yes will be a short film however I wanted to give a nod to zombie man... do you mind if he makes an appearance in THE ESCAPE? He will be in the background, like a where's WALDO, but Lou and I thought it would be comical to see him make his American movie appearance as a member of the zombie crew in THE ESCAPE.

So $10,000 for a short film? Also, whats up with Deadlands II: Rise Harder?

[DjfunkmasterG]

So $10,000 for a short film? Also, whats up with Deadlands II: Rise Harder? yep 10K for a short, it may not be 100% all my money though, but still this script requires a shed load of zombies and some other set pieces I can't go into at the moment. DEADLANDS: With a Vengance is still waiting to be made. I just need something else to crack my teeth on right now. Nice burn BTW. =)

yep 10K for a short, it may not be 100% all my money though, but still this script requires a shed load of zombies and some other set pieces I can't go into at the moment. Sweet. 10k, pre-DVX costs sounds like a hell of a short. Nice burn BTW. =) Eh?

[DjfunkmasterG]

The burn on the title for Deadlands 2. Rise harder.

[axlish]

Yeah, I thought that was pretty 'punny'

[MinionZombie]

Deadlands 2: Rise Harder - I officially love that. Dj - blates, whack Zombie Man in there! There's easily gonna be another mask online that looks the same/similar, whack him in a faded burgundy hoody, some bloody blue jeans, some white trainers and bingo - Zombie Man. *strokes chin ... ponders inside-winky-jokey-type comment/gag for IAZM3 script relating to Zombie Man being in Maryland...hmmm...*

[DjfunkmasterG]

Very cool on the zombie man permission. As I said he won't be front and center more of a in the background type thing.

[MinionZombie]

"Where's Waldo/Wally" indeed. I can dig it.

[DjfunkmasterG]

I can dig it. I knew that you could.
