It's been a long road, but we've finally done it. GRACE is coming to theaters this Friday, August 14th - BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP. We have no money, no ad support, and no marketing (except our team pushing antique baby carriages around New York and LA with baby bottles full of blood). What we do have, is an award winning film that will not disappoint, and more passion than we know what to do with. If you are available to come down and support the film, PLEASE make the trip. Tell your friends about the movie, post on Facebook, Twitter about it, and forward this along to as many folks as you can. Star Jordan Ladd, Writer/Director Paul Solet, and myself, will all be at the Sunset 5 in LA this Friday the 14th, at both the 7:40pm and 9:55pm shows, to welcome you, present the film, and do Q&A's. This is going to be a hell of a night, so come join us for the birth of GRACE! Tickets are available online at the below links in New York and LA.

Dan, Joe and Parker are three college students on the last day of a skiing vacation in New England. But when they take the last lift up the mountain, and are accidentally stranded halfway up, they must fight for survival against primordial enemies: cold, wind, rain, snow, and altitude...
Bloody Disgusting: So, you've already finished principal photography of FROZEN, why such secrecy on set?
Adam Green: It wasn't really so much "secrecy", just kind of staying under the radar more than usual. FROZEN is very much a "what would you do?" type of survival movie in the fact that it's a very real predicament with no easy answers to the problem. You need to go into this wondering what the hell is going to happen and trying to figure out what you would do if you were caught in the same situation, so if the story beats and set pieces were made public knowledge this early on, it could potentially ruin the ride for people. So we have been biding our time as to what information we release and when. Even the actors auditioning weren't allowed to read the final act of the script until they had been officially cast. We're just playing it safe.
Another major factor as to why we didn't have the usual on-set coverage and set reports was simply personal safety. This wasn't the typical set where journalists could come and casually hang out and observe or interview the actors. The conditions were absolutely brutal and without the right extreme winter gear, guests could have been in jeopardy. Not to mention the fact that the only way to get to set was by snow mobile and that once you got there, the real action was happening in the sky 50 feet above the ground. There wouldn't have been much to see or do from an outsider's perspective. The nearest warming tent was very, very far away due to the fact that we were constantly shooting wide sweeping shots in 360 degree angles, so visitors would have either been freezing their asses off with us and seeing nothing or sitting in a tent way off in the woods by themselves, so we just did away with set visits on this one. I also run a closed set whenever I'm calling for intense dramatic scenes or dangerous stunt work as the actors need silence and the paramedics need to be able to do their thing if/when something goes wrong. There just wasn't as much room for fun and games like on my previous films and even cell and internet reception was limited so I had to wait until I got home before I could start talking about it. But I missed all of you guys for what it's worth!
BD: The film follows three friends stranded on a ski lift during a storm, correct? Is there anything else you can tell us?
AG: The storms are just the beginning of the dangers they face. The story works in a way where just when you think the situation couldn't get any worse, it does. But I'm going to save any real details until later on down the road as we still have close to a year before this movie hits theaters. What I can tell you though is that everything about this story is not only realistic, but everything you see on the screen is also REAL. There's no soundstage, no green screen, no "Hollywood" magic. The actors (and crew) were really put into dangerous situations and everything you see in the film actually happened like that. I can also put to rest some of the on-line rumors I've seen from people claiming to have read it or worked on it. No, it is not a werewolf movie. No, the cast doesn't discover that they were dead the whole time. And no, Victor Crowley doesn't show up and kill them. I think my favorite rumor was that we were really shooting HATCHET 2 but hiding it from everyone and calling it FROZEN. Although now that I think about it... that is kind of a cool idea and I may do that some day.
BD: Was it difficult to shoot an entire movie that pretty much takes place on the ski lift? How did you shoot those scenes?
AG: "It's just three people in a chair, how hard can it be?" I actually said that myself when I first pitched the concept to the rest of the guys at ArieScope. Holy shit was I wrong. Everything about this movie was a challenge and we had to become very inventive with our solutions. I mean, first of all, how do you shoot the scenes of the chairlift moving when the ski mountain won't allow you to fasten anything to the chairs or the lift cable itself? How do you light it? And when the chair ultimately gets stuck over a fifty-foot drop, how do you get the camera up to the cast? How do you get 35,000 pound cranes and condors up to the set when there are no roads to get there?
Thankfully I had a very brave and innovative crew. We figured out a way to attach several snow-cats to the cranes and condors (some pushing and some pulling) and one by one we dragged them up the side of the mountain. Each one took about a day. For the scenes where the chair is stuck over the big ravine, we shot everything on a Panavision 50 foot techno crane. That enabled us to not only get up to the cast, but to also shoot a lot of 360 degree shots and swooping movements that would make the audience feel the vertigo, isolation, and height.
But the best (and probably most interesting) part was shooting the scenes where the chair is moving up the lift line to the peak of the mountain. Since we couldn't hang any cameras on the chair, we built this crazy rig in front of it that was essentially like a steel work bucket that you'd see a phone company truck use. Then two camera operators would be fastened to the top in harnesses and shoot. When we put the rig together, nobody from the mountain would really fully sign off on it. We got lots of comments like "Well, it probably won't fall." Or my favorite; "I don't see why it would fall." So sure enough, my camera crew just patted Will Barratt (my DP of eleven years now) and I on the backs and said "Good luck with that, fellas." They wouldn't get in it. So Will and I shot it ourselves.
Now, keep in mind, part of the reason I wrote a story like this is because I don't trust chairlifts and I'm scared of heights. So there I am, fastened in a harness manning a 100 pound 35mm camera in my hands and dangling from a creaky steel rig that we put together with masking tape and dental floss earlier that day. Throw in some random gusts of 65mph below freezing winds and I seriously thought I was going to die. But you know what? We got the shots and we all survived to shoot another day. So when you watch the movie and see the scenes of the chair actually moving, know that I was operating my own camera and that I was shitting in my pants the whole time.
BD: There was a blizzard and multiple snow storms that ensued during filming, did it make you regret your decision to make this as your next film? Just how bad was it?
AG: We got hit with pretty severe weather for the first three weeks and then finished the shoot with a real bang during week 5. We started in a blizzard of about 31 inches of snow and then moved on to some nights of sleet, freezing rain, and hail. But then when we switched back to daytime shoots, we got hit with some abnormally warm weather. At first we were all celebrating it, but then we realized that our set was literally melting away and in just three days we had lost SEVEN feet of snow. Our condors were starting to lean sideways and our camera crane could no longer reach the f'n chair. Then, just when we had finished damage control and shoveled enough snow back onto our set, we got hit with the worst blizzard I've ever seen. 38 inches of snow in like 6 hours. It was terrible, but it was what the movie needed and it's a much better looking movie because of it. I mean we originally thought we'd have to make our own snow and hail, but low and behold we got the real stuff. Funny thing is, at that altitude the snow flakes are so big that they look like "movie snow". It almost looks too perfect to be real.
It never made me regret the decision, but I can tell you that I would never, ever do it again. Part of me doesn't even know where I found the courage to do it in the first place. In the weeks before I left I was admitting to all of my other director friends and industry associates that I didn't think I could pull it off. I was terrified. Even funnier is that in the short time since I've been back, I've gone into many meetings where the executives are like "So you must just really love shooting in extreme conditions, huh? We've got this great snow/desert/ocean/cave script that you'd probably love to direct!" Fuck that. I'm so not the outdoors type. I'd much rather be at home on the couch with Rileah, my cat, and my Xbox controller. In fact, that's where I am now and I just got teabagged by an 8-year old with the screen name "EdgarAllanPwn". If you see him on-line, fuck him up for me.
BD: How difficult is it to tell a story that nearly all takes place in one spot? Was it hard to make it an hour and half film?
AG: No, not hard to make it an hour and a half film at all. The best compliment I got when the script first went out was that people said it was one of the quickest reads they had ever had. It actually moves quite fast. In that kind of cold it's not like you'd just sit there and discuss your options for too long. I mean, you're slowly dying with every passing minute. The characters in FROZEN try and take action very quickly. In fact, I'd say there's probably only ten or fifteen minutes of all three of them sitting on the chair together before something happens and the first one makes a move. And the "contained location movie" has certainly been done successfully before. JAWS had three people on a boat for the last hour or so. Hitchcock's LIFEBOAT was all staged on a little raft. OPEN WATER had two people treading water for most of the movie. James Wan's SAW started with the premise of two guys waking up in a room together. I'm not the first one to attempt it.
BD: Obviously FROZEN can't be as bloody as HATCHET, is this more of a thriller? What can you say about this?
AG: FROZEN is survival horror that is very reality based. There's no fantasy. It's not like something supernatural is going to turn up or a slasher is going to jump out of the woods and start chasing them with random weapons. It's scary on a different level because everything about this story could and to a great extent HAS really happened in real life. So any gore and violence you see is done very realistically whereas HATCHET was all about the fun and over-the-top splatter escapism. I guess the big difference... for me at least... is- what would be harder for you to watch and endure? A woman getting her face ripped in half by a swamp monster or a person actually getting a papercut across the bottom of their nose for 30 seconds? Hopefully FROZEN will leave a mark on you and send you home wondering what you would do and how you would survive if it ever happened to you. If you're hoping for jokes, jump scares, and blood geysers, this isn't that movie. But if you want suspense, tension, and 'horror for your brain', this will deliver.
And don't fear. We shot plenty of gore. But this time it's the kind that makes you wince and look away, not cheer and laugh.
BD: BESIDES the weather, what was the most difficult process in filming FROZEN?
AG: God, the logistics and planning that had to go into tackling each day. When you take into account that the chair could not move backwards, we had to be so on our game with everything that once we sent the actors up each night they wouldn't have to come down until we were done. If the chair stopped even a foot too late, we would have overshot our lights (which were attached to huge cranes and could NOT move) and the actors would have to be sent all the way to the peak and around to the bottom to try again. A forgotten prop, the wrong set dressing on the chair, you know... mistakes that could normally be fixed instantly on a typical set would cost us hours of production time and lots of money.
Camera wise, we were shooting with 1,000 foot loads of film and a 290 mm lens on a techno crane 50 feet in the air. Try holding that steady for focus, especially when your subject (a free dangling chair) is swinging around in the wind and can't stay steady.
But the worst had to have been what the actors went through physically. We tried to layer them with body warmers under their costumes as best as we could, but when you're in that kind of cold for that long, eventually the heat from the warmers runs out. Their skin was exposed whenever we were rolling. They had skis and boards hanging from their legs on many nights, which was killing their knees and joints. Throw in how atrophied their bodies became being stuck in that position, not being able to use a bathroom, drink, or eat... it was brutal. But I gotta give them credit. They knew what they signed on for and they took the pain and used it for their performances.
No offense to actors but many are just narcissistic ego maniacs who became "actors" because they were deemed good looking in high school and just want to be famous and go to premieres. I sniffed those people out during casting and went with three very brave and very talented performers who gave me everything they had inside of them every night. One time in particular, Kevin Zegers had to endure an extraordinarily dramatic scene. I had cleared most of the set so it was just the two of us and I lied down on the ground with him while he screamed and cried for his life. When it was over I leaned over him and said "Do you have any more? Can you even stand up and walk right now?" And he choked back "No, Green. I don't have any more." And I jumped up and yelled "cut!" I was so proud of him. It took him a bit to recover, but he went home that night damn proud of what he had done and everyone who had been nearby to watch was blown away and affected by his performance. But that's what this movie needed and that's what they gave me. In fact, more so than anything, the ACTING is what you need to see this movie for. These guys delivered and they delivered in spades. How often can you say that about a genre movie?
My favorite moment had to have been this one night when Emma Bell had to lose her shit on camera. Emma's Mom happened to be on set that night and apparently she was bawling by the monitors having to watch her daughter in that state of hysteria and the crew standing near her didn't know what to do. It's not like I'm a sadist. As most of you know I'm actually a very warm and caring guy. But that's the kind of stuff that you live for as a director. Being able to pull that kind of emotion from an actor and then watch them show what they can really do and really be their best.
And once the movie is out and I can speak "spoiler-free" ...I've got some Shawn Ashmore stories that will blow your mind. He's my new hero.
BD: What inspired FROZEN?
AG: I grew up in the Boston area and we had these low-end ski mountains that just couldn't compare to the real stuff up North and out West. Some of the resorts were so small that they were only open Friday through Sunday. As anyone who has skied knows, it's actually pretty often that the chairlift will stop for no reason with you on it. Normally it's because someone fell getting on at the bottom or getting off at the top and so they need to stop and clear the way for a few minutes. But whenever that happens, this sort of "fear charge" races through the lift and everyone thinks (but doesn't say) "could I jump from here?" Thankfully, the chair always starts up again within a few minutes.
Anyway, one day I was watching the morning news before I went into the office and I saw the weather forecast here in LA. The weather here is always the same, so I usually just find myself looking at the view they have up behind the forecast. That morning it was Big Bear Ski Mountain. All of the chairs were stopped because the mountain was closed. So I started looking closely at the chairs and thinking about how scary it is that those things even stay on in the first place and how glad I am that I stopped skiing after high school. Then I started thinking about the pathetic mountains I used to ski on and how some weren't even big enough to stay open during the week.
I got into work that morning so excited to tell everyone about the idea and how easy I thought it would be to shoot. Well, we already went over how wrong I was there, but I started researching on-line and found countless stories of people who had been stranded on lifts for hours... and then even more fucked up stuff that has happened to them. A few weeks later we were up in Canada shooting Paul Solet's GRACE and I basically wrote FROZEN during breaks on set and before bed each night. I came home with a first draft which for my agents to go out with. Next thing you know... I'm standing on a mountain in Utah wondering what the hell just happened.
This business is so funny because I've had at least three other projects on deck and just about ready to shoot for so long now... and then I write FROZEN and it instantly skips to the front and gets made while everything else has to wait. You just never know what is going to happen or when it's going to happen because things change (literally) over night.
BD: How did you end up working with Peter Block of A Bigger Boat? How was that experience?
AG: There were a few places that expressed interest in making FROZEN, but it helped that I already knew Peter from the Lionsgate days. Out of everyone I met with about this particular project, he was the one most looking to make the same movie that I wanted to make. He was going to let me hire the right actors and not force me to cast off of a flavor of the week TV show or something. We were very in tune from the get go and the process went as famously as it's probably ever going to get. He understood why it was so important for me to bring my key crew members no matter where we shot and he helped make sure that happened. Most producers only care about things like tax incentives and how to save money, but Peter thinks like an actual filmmaker and he understood the value in not breaking up a team that has already been shooting together for so many years. Even more importantly to note is that all of the producers on this movie actually went out there and faced the mountain with us. A lot of time producers are useless and they don't rear their heads until you get into post and they suddenly feel the need to be involved, give notes, and justify their paychecks and job titles. But not on this. You'd be freezing to death and wondering how you're going to make it through the night when you'd look next to you and see that they were right there, too. Not hiding in a warming tent 400 yards away or doing 'important work" in their heated trailer at 3am. They were part of the team and that was so huge for the crew morale. When you turn around and see a producer helping lift the chair up to be attached to the cable you know you're all really on the same team. It may sound crazy but that doesn't happen often in this business. It's always "us" and "them". This movie only had "us".
BD: What's the latest on Dead West and Hatchet 2? Are there any other projects you're looking to next?
AG: HATCHET is the most successful original title that Anchor Bay has put out so you can bet that the sequel is coming. The only thing still up in the air is what my specific involvement is going to be with it. Between GRACE, FROZEN, and a number of other writing and TV projects I've been committed to over the past year I have had no time to do HATCHET 2. Even now I'm already contractually committed to two other films (announcements are coming over the next month or so) that are expected to shoot first, but as we saw with FROZEN, you never know when something is going to push back or whip to the front of the line. My guess would be that HATCHET 2 is going to have to go into production this coming winter with or without me at the helm. We'll see what happens. Everyone involved wants me to return and do it and I hope it works out that way. But creatively I needed to go on and do these other things first.
And as for DEAD WEST, shit, you guys are Bloody-Disgusting I figured you could tell me. What is going on with that one anyway?

Hey all- It's been a long, long time. In that time I've spent close to three months in Utah shooting FROZEN in some of the most unimaginable conditions a film crew has ever faced- but I'm safe at home once again and the blogs will be returning to normal very soon. I have so much FROZEN news to share when I am fully recovered... but in the meantime.... I'll be appearing at the Los Angeles Fangoria Weekend of Horrors to promote GRACE- so come out and say hello. Rumor has it that the GRACE panel will be happening Friday night April 17th, so if you're only coming for one day- make it Friday. Writer/Director Paul Solet, star Jordan Ladd, and myself will all be signing after the panel- so please don't be a stranger. For tickets and info visit www.fangoria.com You may remember me talking about "Saber" right around the end of the year. Last summer a bunch of us decided to make this little mock commercial just for the fun of it and because we had never actually included full-on lightsabers in any of the little shorts we make for kicks. Well, due to a number of unforeseen circumstances- "Saber" kind of sat on the back burner for awhile. But today we finally unleashed it on Youtube with a higher rez file to follow shortly on www.ariescope.com. If you haven't checked it out yet, here it is... Enjoy and be sure to pass it around. The direct link on Youtube is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVV9q4rESPg Back to thawing out and healing from the shoot. But I'll be back soon with lots and lots of news... Love to you all- AG

Adam Green Gets 'Frozen', New Details!
Wednesday, February 18, 2009
From: Bloody-Disgusting
Writer/Director Adam Green just sent us a pretty lengthy e-mail that goes into depth about his forthcoming project entitled Frozen, which begins filming next week in Utah. While it was just announced that Kevin Zegers, Shawn Ashmore and Emma Bell have all been casting, Green reveals to B-D that horror fav Kane Hodder (Hatchet) will be reteaming with Green on this project and that you can actually watch some of the filming LIVE on the web (drop us an e-mail if you see anything cool going on)! Read on for all of the details.
Adam Green writes into Bloody-Disgusting:
"FROZEN begins shooting at Snowbasin Mountain in Utah on Monday morning. I've cast Kevin Zegers (Transamerica, Dawn of the Dead), Shawn Ashmore (X-Men, The Ruins) and Emma Bell (Bedford Diaries) as my leads. Horror fans will be pleased to know that Kane Hodder will be returning as my stunt coordinator as well as many of my key crew members from HATCHET and SPIRAL, as I like to keep the family together whenever possible.
Filming is going to be one of the greatest physical challenges any of us have ever faced. The story revolves around three skiers who find themselves stranded on a chairlift at a New England ski resort that is closed during the week. Where I grew up (in the Boston area) we had these "not so great" ski mountains that were only open Friday through Sunday, and often times my friends and I would bribe the lift operator with some cash in order to avoid the hefty lift-ticket prices as it was the only way we could afford to ski back then. While freezing my ass off up in Canada last Spring shooting GRACE, I started thinking back to those days and I found myself researching various ski mountain mishaps and accidents that have happened in real life. Inspiration hit, and (as you'll see on the Behind The Scenes of GRACE when it hits DVD after it's theatrical run later this year) I tucked myself away in a corner of the set and began writing. While I already am contractually committed to other projects (including my comedy GOD ONLY KNOWS, the animated AQUAMAN movie I am writing for D.C., and a pilot I am writing for Nickelodeon that Jack Black is producing), with the strikes pushing things around, a window opened to fast track FROZEN and Peter Block (A Bigger Boat) stepped in to produce the film with my company ArieScope Pictures. It was probably the fastest turn around I've ever experienced from conception to production... and here we are, at 10,000 feet in the dead of winter on the side of a mountain.
Crewing up has been tough as during interviews, many potential candidates would actually stop the meeting and admit right there that they just couldn't handle it and bow out. I'm shooting this ENTIRE film practically. As you know, I'm not a fan of bad CGI or phony looking green screen, and since this story's terror lies in the real life elements, I decided that shooting it for REAL was the only way to do it right. Today we had our technical scout in a full-on blizzard where my crew had three feet of snow dropped on them as they worked. I actually found myself in spots where the snow came up to my chest as I tried to lead the way. The nights on the mountaintop will hit well below zero (some nights are as low as -30) and my brave cast will literally be suspended 50 feet in the air and facing the elements for a good portion of the film. Stunt wise we're looking at ridiculous high falls and climbs, and my three main actors are going to find themselves emotionally pushed past their limits. It's going to be a brutal shoot and we're all braced for the worst as so much of what happens (weather-wise) will be out of our control. All week long my production designer and his crew have been dragging 1-ton cranes and 40-foot tall pine trees up the side of the mountain in blizzard conditions... and we're just getting started. To say I'm fucking cold would be a vast understatement.
Still, I have my family with me. These are the guys I've been with since I got my start- some of which I've been shooting with over 11 years now. And though I've heard myself referred to as "Ahab" and "Quint" already by the locals in the production office... I know that even if everyone dies or quits, my main crew will stay there with me until we conquer this mountain. Literally.
Also, starting next week, if fans want to log on to the Snowbasin website, they can actually WATCH us shoot the movie from Snowbasin's live web cams. You won't be able to see too much detail- but you will be able to check in from time to time and see what we're up to... live.
I look forward to giving the fans something riveting, compelling, emotionally challenging, and most of all... something REAL to be scared by. Anyone who has ever skied or snowboarded knows the fear that races through your chest when the rickety chair stops over an impossibly high spot.
Will it start again?
I don't know. Will it?"
-Green"

January 5, 2009 - Monday

The year started off on a great note when I was invited to do a commentary track for the upcoming re-release of FRIDAY THE 13TH PART IV: THE FINAL CHAPTER which I recorded on Friday, January 2nd. This was cool on so many levels, mainly being that FRIDAY IV is my favorite film of the series (along with PART II)... but it was even more special because another genre director whom I greatly admire (and a guy who also happens to be one of my best friends) JOE LYNCH was also invited to participate and the two of us recorded the commentary track together.  If you're like me, you're probably thinking "Um... what exactly did YOU have to do with the making of FRIDAY THE 13TH: PART IV"?" And the answer is... absolutely nothing. As a matter of fact, I was nine when that film came out. But as we've started to see with many classic film re-issues, it's become a fun addition to DVD packages when other filmmakers (who are also fans of the film) are asked to do a commentary discussing the movie from an outside perspective. Both Lynch and I are directors who wear our inspirations and love for the 80's slasher sub-genre on our sleeves- so the producers felt like it would make for a cool addition. Needless to say, the session was a BLAST and it was a tremendous honor to get to be a part of the FRIDAY legacy.  Earlier in 2008 I took part in the ultimate FRIDAY THE 13TH documentary ("HIS NAME WAS JASON") which will be airing on Starz in February followed by the DVD release. While I haven't seen the finished film at the time of this blog, I am told that it turned out great and that fans of the FRIDAY films will have an overload of geek-tastic stuff to feast on when it comes out.  I'm told that I have my very own special feature about the "rat piss" scene from PART II... which is a great segue into the next part of my weekend and my next story. The very next day I had to take our cats to the vet. Nothing serious, just the annual check-up and vaccine sorta stuff. For the very few on here who knew me back when I was still doing stand-up comedy, I used to do a bit on my vet. He's a 6 foot tall black man with the deepest voice you've ever heard and a lazy eye that is so lazy that you almost have to nudge the person next to you and say out loud "Now that right there is a wicked lazy eye." Some people have lazy eyes where one is looking at you and one is looking at the trash barrels behind the building in the parking lot. But this guy's got one eye focused on you and the other one starring back into his childhood. It's both fascinating and scary when he comes towards the cats with a needle in his hand. At one point he walked in holding some paperwork and he said "I see these cats have come here today to be euthanized." But once the nurse turned the page over he corrected himself... "I mean, neutered." Yes, it's a gamble with my pet's lives whenever they go to see my vet, but he's the same vet who's office they were born in and I'm a guy who doesn't like change. Anyway, I don't want to bore you with all of the details about our cats- so here's the gist: I adopted Tyler and Perry when they were just 3 weeks old. Here's a picture that was taken on the DAY I first met them...  Now, let me make one thing clear. I am a DOG person. I don't know how I ever got into cats, but it all started back in 1997 when a cat with feline Down's Syndrome named W. Axl Rose came into my life and sort of changed it forever. That's a whole nother story for another day, but before you call me names for having cats- just know that I'd rather have dogs. In fact, once my lifestyle settles down a bit more and I'm at home more often, I plan on drowning my cats in the pool and replacing them with dogs. And yes, I know I look gay as hell in the above picture but come on. I had two little kittens crawling on me. You try and look straight.  And I must point out that the cats are named after Steven Tyler and Joe Perry- not the guy who makes those "Madea" movies. At one point, a good friend of mine (Karen Whitman) met Steven Tyler and Joe Perry and had them autograph a photo of the cats which is hanging in a frame in my office. Pretty f'n cool if I do say so myself. When Rileah and I moved in together almost 5 years ago, her cat Chewbacca moved in along with her, thus making us a full-on cat household. Thankfully all of the cats get along for the most part. But over the past few months, Chewy has developed a new love for pissing outside of the litterbox, just outside of the guest bathroom, on the carpet. We don't know why he does it and even worse, all of my efforts to stop this disgusting habit have been futile. Chewy and I now have a relationship on par with Mr. Parker and the Bumpus' dogs from A CHRISTMAS STORY. In fact, last week I hired a Vietnam vet to set up punji sticks all FIRST BLOOD style so that I can nail Chewbacca to the fucking wall once and for all and protect my already worthless carpet.  "I'm an asshole. I pee on stuff." The moral of the story is that Chewbacca is on my shit list and Perry is a SAINT. In fact, I would dare say that Perry is possibly the most perfect cat in the world. Aside from her issues with Paul Stanley (I can't explain it, but she constantly goes after and tears apart my Paul Stanley action figure... and ONLY Paul Stanley, never any of the other KISS members) Perry does nothing wrong. Yet the other two cats beat on her whenever they play and she almost always ends up with the shit end of the stick.  Poor Perry. So we're at the vet and the waiting room is a bit crowded. It's a Saturday so what can you do, right? We waited for well over an hour before Johnny Eyes was ready for us. And in the waiting room we met a bunch of other animals. The first was a Pitt Bull named Ponchas Pilot or something crazy like that. This dog LOVED the vet. I've never seen an animal so stupid in my life. He literally stood there with his eyes glued to the doorway, and every time Johnny Eyes walked past- the dog would get so excited he would pee. I shit you not. A dog that LOVED going to the vet. Unreal. But then there was Jack. Jack was a white haired terrier and he was a douchebag of a dog. Not only did he have white hair- but it was the type of hair that was all grungy and dirty on the edges. In fact, parts of it looked PINK! Jack was a barker. Like it wasn't bad enough standing in a cramped waiting room with three stressed out cats and a vet-loving Pitt Bull... now we had to deal with Jack the asshole barker. And what did Jack's Mom do during all of this? Do you think she would have the decency to at least TRY and stop Jack from barking? Maybe even offer a quiet "Shhh"? No. She did nothing. She just sat there with her shit-eating nasty haired terrier barking up a storm.  Thankfully, Jack was next up and we got about 15 minutes of peace and quiet while Ponchas Pilot paced like a 12 year old whore backstage at a Poison concert awaiting his turn with the rock star and my three cats slowly shed every last hair on their bodies and prayed for a quick death. Jack finished up and his shitty owner walked him over to the front desk to settle her bill. Just like her lack of interest in his annoying barking for an hour straight, she had no interest in watching where he was going or what he was up to while she signed her credit card receipt. And that's when I saw Jack make his way over to my cat carriers. The motherfucker pissed on Perry. He just walked right over, lifted his leg, and urinated on my cat. On sweet little Perry! I mean, if it had been Chewy I would have given Jack a treat. If it had been Chewy, it would have been karma at it's finest. But noooooo. Perry, the perfect cat who does nothing wrong to anyone except Paul Stanley... she got pissed on. And what did Jack's owner say as I quickly picked up Perry to pull her away to safety? "Sorry 'bout that." Sorry 'bout that? You fucking asshole. Hopefully Jack ate some bad milk bones when he got home, projected liquid shit all over that woman's face and then dropped dead. Pee on Perry? Why I oughta...! But the story doesn't end there. The cats all went in to see Johnny Eyes, get their shots, have their privates violated, get manhandled, and then be placed back in their respective carriers. But not Perry. No, apparently it was deemed that Perry had plaque and that she needed to spend the night at the hospital in order to have her teeth cleaned properly. So the other two cats got sent home scott free... and poor Perry got pee'd on and then put under sedation to have her teeth cleaned. Again, had it been Chewy- I would have pointed and laughed. But no... Perry got shafted yet again. If any of you reading this have cats and if you've ever had their teeth cleaned, you know it's a horrible process. The anesthesia, the ointment in their eyes, the week of medicine that follows... it is miserable on them. So Perry came home today. She can't quite open her eyes all the way yet and she looks like she got run over by a truck... but she's home and very happy to be here.  And thus ends my first weekend of the New Year. I'd tell you all about my New Year's Eve exploits, but unfortunately I have to go clean piss off of my carpets. Excuse me. Happy New Year- Adam

December 31, 2008 - Wednesday
|
What a year! As promised, here is a look back and full-on wrap up of what was quite possibly the best year of my life so far. Of course, all of the blogs are still listed below this one, so for those of you who may have missed the specifics of such highlights as "AIDS guy", "the dead children in Regina", or "the $20 Comic-Con tip"...feel free to scroll down through the year and find the stories in their entirety. In an effort to keep this as short as possible, I'm gonna try and limit it to just a few of the Greatest Hits.  2008 started with a huge bang and the theatrical release of SPIRAL. This meant doing loads and loads of press with my buddies Joel David Moore, Zachary Levi, Amber Tamblyn, and Jeremy Boring. As repetitive and tiresome as promoting a film can be (you literally sit in a room and answer the same questions to different people for hours and hours and hours) when you enjoy the company you are with it can be one of the highlights of the movie making process. Below is an appearance that Joel and I did on FOX NEWS just before the film's DVD release... I think my favorite part of doing that interview was the amount of shit I took from friends and fans for attempting to dress "nicely". My lack of giving a shit when it comes to dressing up for premieres and appearances is more appreciated than I thought, and the sheer fact that (for this FOX interview) I threw on a dress shirt (i.e., a shirt that DIDN'T have a band/movie logo and/or tour dates on the back of it) earned me a ton of letters and phone calls from people making sure I knew how awkward I looked in "my Dad's clothes". FYI, I am not man enough to fit in my Dad's clothes. This was an old shirt with a huge pen stain on the sleeve that an ex-roommate of mine had left behind 8 years ago. So suck it, you dicks! Anyway, the release of SPIRAL was a huge way to begin 2008. While the film is considered an "arthouse drama" and lots of my fans who were expecting another HATCHET were confused by it's nature- the film succeeded in breaking me out of the 'splatter film' pigeon-hole I was facing with the enormous success of HATCHET in 2007. In fact, most of the new projects that I set up this year were based on the incredible reactions to SPIRAL. So while certain fans were let down to see me do something dramatic and completely different from HATCHET... I'm getting to spread my wings in all of the directions I want to go in now as opposed to some of my peers who are "lifers" in the horror genre against their true wishes. Keep in mind, SPIRAL was pretty much made simultaneously with HATCHET. I sort of ran myself into the ground trying to focus on both at the same time, but it was well worth the pain. For the moment at least, I can continue to do my work in horror, but I have proven that I can also do more outside of the genre. Funny thing is though, all of the stores carrying SPIRAL put it in the "Horror" section- so go figure. If you haven't seen it yet, you are pretty much a rotten person. I suggest going to your local Best Buy or logging on to Amazon.com and picking it up right now. I'm damn proud of that film. In March I turned 33 years old, saw Ministry for what I hope to be the last time (every time I go, I come home with injuries that take weeks to heal) and then I headed North up to Regina Canada for the production of GRACE. If you have yet to read any of the blogs about my travels up to Regina- please, please do. I think that Regina made for some of my best stories of the year. My part on GRACE was that of Producer. Paul Solet (a name you are all about to become very familiar with) wrote and directed the film which my company (ArieScope Pictures) produced. After doing what it took to get the film financed and moving forward, my job on set was essentially just overseeing the process, problem solving, and being creative support to Paul when he asked for it. Of course my ass was on the line that the movie came in on budget and that it actually turned out good... but we pulled it off. Here's an example of me working hard on set... Not directing left me with time to think around the hours I spent on set. See, when you are directing- it is all consuming. For months leading up to a project and especially when you are on set, you can barely remember to feed yourself. But as a Producer, I actually found myself able to go home at night and get more work done on my other projects. GRACE took us into May and when I returned I not only had a great film in the can, but a new screenplay called FROZEN. More on that later. Here's a picture of Zoran Popovic (GRACE's D.P.), Paul Solet, and myself on the last night of GRACE. I'm not sure exactly how cold it was, but I am pretty sure that it was the coldest I had ever been up until that point. Thankfully, wardrobe had these giant moo-moos to throw on us. And even more thankfully, they were stylish. We kind of finished the shoot dressed as transexual homeless elderly women... but the film was in the can and we were on our way home to Hollywood.  I came home right in time for summer movie season to kick off. While those who read my blog know that I do not like to review or critique other people's films, I will say that this was one of the best summers for movies that I can remember since the 80's. Sure, there were a few objectionable and debatable films, but overall- wow. The highlight for me actually wasn't even one of the new releases, but a re-release one-night-only screening of E.T.  Oddly enough, this was actually the SECOND time I saw E.T. in the theater in 2008. I had been invited to a screening at the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences early on in February. The Academy screening was a pristine print from the original release and the summer screening was one of the 20th Anniversary prints. Now I know there are folks out there who are all up in arms about the CG changes that Spielberg made to the 20th anniversary version and they like to be overdramatic and say the changes RUINED the movie. Really? So you're saying that all that was good about the original film was the fact that a few of the police officers held guns in their hands- but now with the officers holding walkie talkies that the film no longer works? Shut up and eat a dick you whiny bitches. E.T. is so flawless that even if Spielberg edited clown porn into the third reel- it would still hold up. If you don't like the additions put in for the 20th anniversary release, then throw in your copy of the original version and shut-up. Don't own a copy of the original version, you say? Hmm. Well then you aren't a fan of the film anyway and should go back to eating that dick I told you about earlier. Anyway- seeing E.T. in the theater is sort of like my reset button and I never miss a chance to have that experience. It is heads and tails my favorite film of all time and watching that in a theater filled with other E.T. believers and children who are experiencing the magic in reverence for the first time... there's just nothing like it. Rileah laughs at me through the whole thing as I literally cry from frame one until the end of the credits... but I don't care. There's so few things that can bring you back to your childhood innocence and for me, E.T. is that one thing. Anyway, enough about E.T. It was a major highlight of my summer. And yes, I wore my red "Elliot" sweatshirt to the screening. Want to fight about it?  2008 also found me in a meeting with D.C. Films / Warner Brothers where we discussed a slate of animated Justice League style films that they are doing for 2011. I pitched them a take that I had on AQUAMAN and low and behold, they bought it in the room. So throughout the summer I was hard at work writing AQUAMAN: KING OF ATLANTIS. Who even knows what the story will be like by the time the movie is finished (animation takes forever and these types of films are notorious for bringing on writer after writer to do polishes and re-drafts) but my take on AQUAMAN re-introduces him as a bad-ass and my story-line is something along the lines of CLASH OF THE TITANS and CLOVERFIELD. The process has been long and hard and I just turned in a second draft last week. My fingers are crossed and I am hoping for the best with the project as I think AQUAMAN is a very misunderstood and underused character in the D.C. Universe. If I could be the guy that helped bring him back to the forefront- awesome. But only time will tell where this all goes. In early summer, I also wrote and directed a project that centers around two very beautiful and scantily clothed girls having a lightsaber battle. I've posted pictures and written about this project in various blogs, however the visual effects have taken about half a year longer than we anticipated. The good news is that I am told that the FX are just about ready and it looks good that the project will be ready to show early next year. For quite some time, you've all been hearing about my romantic comedy GOD ONLY KNOWS. I've had no shame in saying that it is my most favorite of all of my projects and that I truly think it is the best script that I have ever written. GOK has been responsible for getting me a lot of the TV work and comedy projects I have done over the years as it has always been the writing sample that my reps show to studios and networks. The curse of the movie has been that it is literally taking forever to get started. There have been instances where the film was set-up, cast, and in pre-production... only to have some unforeseen crazy thing happen that puts it on hold. But you know how they say "everything happens for a reason"? Well- this year the project was taken under the wing of Chris Columbus' 1492 Films who are now producing it with my company, ArieScope Pictures. While I never publicly announce cast until contracts are signed in blood... the cast we already have attached is absolutely amazing and A-list. However, this year has seen such financial hardships for the industry between the strikes, threats of strikes, and crumbling economy that the movie is once again on pause. But looking at where it has come over the past ten years (yes, you read correctly, it's been TEN YEARS that I have been working on this one) the project is on the cusp of becoming something even more powerful than Darth Vader and the Emperor ever imagined. All signs point to a 2009 production and my contract is said and done... but once I'm on set shooting, I'll believe it. Fingers and toes are crossed to see that script finally come to fruition. July brought a trip back to Cape Cod to see my family and rejuvenate a bit, a trip to Vegas to be alone with Rileah in style, and then the production of THE ROAD TO FRIGHTFEST...  UK FRIGHT FEST is my favorite of all of the genre film festivals in the world. As someone who has been to all of them, I can say that with conviction. So when Joe Lynch and I were invited back this year (even though we had no films ready to screen there) we decided to return to London baring gifts. Over the summer we shot 5 promos to be played nightly during the run of the festival. You can read the detailed blogs to watch them all and learn all about it, but they were a hit. Below is my favorite of the bunch. It is the one that screened on the final night of the festival. It plays better and makes more sense if you've seen the previous four promos, but I like this one the best because we were able to capture the live sound of the Fright Fest audience watching the promo as it played. London was a TERRIFIC time as always, and both Joe and I are eagerly awaiting 2009's TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY of Fright Fest. While we hope to once again return with surprises... looking at both of our slates for the upcoming year, it is going to be a challenge finding the time. We'll see. I returned from London just in time to see John Williams conduct at the Hollywood Bowl. The symphony played "Flying" from E.T. I cried. The summer ended with a huge surprise for me. FOX was preparing the Blu-Ray release of the PLANET OF THE APES films for the 40th anniversary and they needed high resolution images of the original apes for their packaging. My friends at MAKE-UP & MONSTERS STUDIOS were on the job of pulling the original molds and wardrobe out of storage and finding new folks to dress up for the photo shoot. Knowing that I was a fan and roughly the same size as Maurice Evans (Dr. Zaius) I was asked to step into the costume and last month, the box set hit shelves everywhere with ME as Dr. Zaius.  It's tough to contain my geek-excitement over something like this, but to forever be a part of Ape history is really mind blowing. Standing there that day dressed in the same costume that Mr. Evans wore long before I was born... I was floored. I mean, what is cooler than that? It was yet another moment this year when I was fully aware of just how lucky I am to get to do what I do.  Halloween season was kicked off with the release of the HORROR BOOK OF LISTS in which my list of the "The Top 10 Horror Actresses Who Should Have Gotten Naked But Didn't" was published. The signing in Burbank was a huge success and the book has been the source of much laughter for horror fans on their toilets across the world.  That very same weekend, I was driving to a Love/Hate concert and found myself behind a car with a "Humpty Dumpty Was Pushed" bumper sticker. After verbally tearing the driver to shreds in my own car (I mean, who would actually ruin their car with THAT stupid bumper sticker?) I found myself wondering just how one might be able to prove that Humpty Dumpty was indeed pushed. Seriously though, all we know from the story is that all of the kings horses and all of the kings men couldn't put him back together again. While that is unfortunate, there is nothing in there that even alludes to foul play. It was at that point in my internal conversation that I realized that I was a bigger dork than the driver in front of me. And FAIRY TALE POLICE was born...  XBOX LIVE was putting together a project called "Horror Meets Comedy" in which they were reaching out to notable genre directors to come up with original short web-pilots for the XBOX gaming consoles. It was literally the SAME weekend that I came up with this concept, that James Gunn asked me if I'd like to participate. So my usual group of friends and conspirators got together over the Fall and shot the pilot for FAIRY TALE POLICE. Though you need to have an XBOX to watch the actual show, below is the trailer for it. I am told that in the coming weeks, the pilot will be made available everywhere on-line. There are also rumors of more episodes of FAIRY TALE POLICE being ordered for 2009, but we'll worry about that when it happens. Here's a candid photo of everyone looking at the wrong camera...  Halloween 2008 was one of the best in my 33 years of Halloween. The decorations around the house were exceptionally cool this year and the month of screenings, parties, theme parks, dinners, parades, and events were a whirlwind of 'awesome'.   Of course, no Halloween would be complete without my annual Halloween short film. This year's short (THE TiVO) broke all kinds of records and was downloaded 100,000 times in it's first week of release. It was even honored as the Number 1 video on Youtube at one point during that first week of release. For those that haven't seen it yet... November brought loads of good news. It started with the announcement of my next film FROZEN (remember that script I wrote during production of GRACE?) which pre-sold like gangbusters at AFM without even having shot a frame yet. I'm making the film with Peter Block's new company "A Bigger Boat" and it starts shooting in just a few weeks up in the snowy mountains of Utah. Most of you probably know that Peter Block is the producer who made Lionsgate what it used to be for the genre. Peter is the guy that brought you movies like SAW and THE DESCENT and he not only has an eye for what the fans want, but he knows how to properly release and distribute the stuff. So for FROZEN to be his flagship production... it's really an amazing opportunity. November also brought the good news that GRACE had been officially selected to world premiere at Sundance in January. We honestly could not ask for a better or more prestigious launching pad for the birth of GRACE. The Sundance guide describes the film as: "Eight months pregnant, and preoccupied with both a natural childbirth and a pure-body lifestyle, Madeline Matheson, played with merciless compassion by Jordan Ladd, deflects her demanding mother-in-law's insistent pressure for standard hospital treatment, instead opting for the peaceful companionship of a trusted midwife. Though reluctantly compliant, her husband remains supportive of her choices until a sudden tragic accident leaves her unborn baby lifeless inside of her. Madeline remains determined to carry the stillborn baby to term, where she miraculously wills the delivered corpse into life. But it is not too long before the increasingly isolated mother realizes that something is not right with baby Grace, and she must make horrible sacrifices to keep her living.In his feature debut, writer/director Paul Solet assuredly approaches the medium, displaying a cocksure confidence in his construction of this modern horror fable. He relies upon a precise and slow-building technical elegance, supplemented by fearless performances and the ever-elusive gift of a genuinely frightening story, to violate the sanctity of a mother's love and create true horror. Seething with a kind of sophisticated terror uncommon for its genre, Grace effortlessly uncoils an atmosphere of immense discomfort and subtle intensity, while quietly creeping into the spine and slicing into our most primal fears." We're all honored and THRILLED to be premiering GRACE at the world's greatest film festival on Friday January 16th. Kind of weird that FROZEN was written during GRACE, and that GRACE is premiering 100 feet away from where FROZEN is shooting...so I get to actually be at the premiere. I wish I had poster art or a trailer to share with you for GRACE, but that is all still a few weeks away. You may have seen some amateur looking poster art or trailers floating around the internet curtsey of the film's foreign sales company and foreign financiers but none of that stuff is real, official, or endorsed by us so pay it no mind. The real stuff is on it's way. November finished with a huge bang when Nickelodeon bought a new live action kid's show that I developed with Jack Black's company ("Electric Dynamite") about a boy and his talking alien dog called THE ADVENTURES OF FINN & WOOF. I can't spill any details on that one yet as the contracts were literally just signed hours ago... but I'll be hard at work writing that project as the New Year rings in. To say that I'm excited to be working on a children's show with Jack Black- especially when it is a subject matter that I so deeply believe in and love- would be a massive understatement. TV is a tricky medium because it is very rare that you get to work on projects that you truly, truly love. Many writers wind up working on projects that fit what the network's needs are or staff writing on shows that they would never personally even watch. So FINN & WOOF is a huge opportunity for me. I'm surrounded by awesome people (Jack's producing partner Ben Cooley is as cool as his name sounds) and I'm FIRED UP to give this one my all. An amazing year, huh? But the best was still yet to come. December began with a little trip to the East Coast where I brought Rileah to see New York City at Christmas time. (She had never been to the city during the holidays and in fact, had only been there once before for HATCHET's Tribeca premiere back in '06.) While we were there, we planned on seeing both nights of Twisted Sister's Christmas show on Broadway as well as taking in all of the amazingness that NYC has to offer around the holidays. But the trip started with what can only be described as the most perfect marriage proposal a guy and a girl could ask for. I've been getting TONS of "congratulations" emails and comments from all of you and I can't even tell you how much I appreciate all of it. However, I hope that you can all understand that there are certain aspects to my personal life that are just for me and that I simply don't want to share. So forgive me for not wanting to spill all of the details of the proposal on MySpace, but it happened in Central Park, it was perfect, and she said "yes". We first met almost 8 years ago when I was working as the DJ and Rileah was the hostess at the heavy metal club "The Rainbow" on the Sunset Strip. Neither of us had a dime to our names, I was struggling to make ends meet to the point that I was stealing leftover food off of plates on the kitchen. In 2004 I made the mock trailer for HATCHET and Rileah stepped in to be the 'test make-up subject' for Young Victor Crowley. Through that whole process we became good friends- and now, after almost 5 years dating / living together and all of the trials and tribulations that come with the industry we work in and the insanity of dealing with a guy like me...it is clear above all that she is my BEST friend and this next step could not feel more right. I thank you all for respecting our privacy in all of this, and don't fret- I will certainly share any details, pictures, and stories from the process that we are comfortable sharing. In addition to our friends and family - the outpouring of well wishes and love my fan base has showered us with is overwhelming. Thank you, thank you, thank you. The whole engagement process was perfect and it was of course very cool to use Twisted Sister shows as the guise to justify the NYC trip and keep it all a surprise for Rileah. Once again, a life changing event where my friend Dee Snider was around for it. (For those that don't already know the whole "Me and Dee" saga of the past 25 years...check out the special features on your HATCHET dvd.) Here are just a few pictures from the NYC trip...     From NYC I went straight to the mountains and ski slopes of Utah to start location scouting for FROZEN. In 48 hours we visited at least 9 different mountains, rode various chair lifts, hiked around in the snow, and met with lots of wonderful people. The oddest part of this scout for me was realizing not only how difficult this film is going to be to shoot, but just how fucking SCARY it actually is. Being up there on the chairlift feeling the heights, feeling the chill, living in the elements... the story and the events that happen are realistic and scary as hell. And my crew and I are in for some "March of the Penguins" style shit in dealing with the elements. Note to self: Set next film in Maui. Here's a picture of Will and I at 11,000 feet...  We may not look as high up as we were, but just to give you an idea... we could see for several STATES from where we were. My favorite part of the entire scout, however, was when we visited a ranch to view some "trained" wildlife that we may be using in the film. This ranch is owned and operated by the same trainers who handled Bart The Bear who you have seen in countless films such as THE EDGE, THE BEAR, or virtually any other film that a giant Grizzly Bear acted in. (No, there is no bear in FROZEN for those of you trying to figure it out.) Bart is sadly no longer with us, but his next of kin (Bart Junior) is quickly taking Bart's place on the silver screen. At one point, the trainers invited me to meet Bart Junior and I eagerly accepted the chance. I mean, how often do you get to be THAT close to a Grizzly Bear in your life? This photo doesn't do it much justice, but it was the only photo that got snapped during the Green / Bart Junior 'Meet and Greet'.  But 2008 still wasn't entirely over yet! The year was rounded out with not one...but THREE Metallica shows in the week leading up to Christmas. These shows were quite significant for me. The first show was great because it was almost 17 years to the day that I first saw Metallica play live... and I was with two of my childhood friends that were with me at that very first show. Call me a sentimental dork, but I pay close attention to things like that. To be seeing one of my favorite bands- 17 years later and with the same guys I grew up with who were with me the first time...it's pretty cool. These shows put me over the 30 SHOW mark for the amount of times I have seen Metallica in the 20 plus years I have been listening to them. And they sound better than they ever did. I know a lot of people started to doubt them during the "St. Anger" period...but this year they put out what is clearly one of their best albums ever. Of course these shows come with a story...  Night 2: I am standing by the side of the stage with Joe Lynch waiting for the band to come on. We started talking about Christmas plans. Somehow, the fact that Rileah would have me watching LOVE ACTUALLY came up. What followed was two metal head, horror directors professing their undying love for that film. I'm not joking, Joe and I must have gone on for at least 10 minutes talking about why LOVE ACTUALLY is such a great movie and we discussed all of our favorite parts. It was around the point of Joe declaring how he gets choked up when the guy holds up the note cards in the film...when I realized that everyone around us could not only HEAR us, but that they were LISTENING...and that several of them knew who we were. "JOE! STOP. STOP. STOP-STOP-STOP!" But he was on a roll. I'm giving him every signal to stop, but he was on to the "boy running to tell the girl he loved her at the airport" and there was no stopping him. Finally, he realized what I realized and the two of us quickly tried to change the subject to sports, fighting dudes, and banging chicks. But it was too late. We had been outted for liking LOVE ACTUALLY...at a Metallica concert. Somewhere there is a message board on-line where a disgruntled metal head/horror fan is re-telling the story of our lameness and how let down he was to overhear what he heard. And somewhere in Los Angeles there is a group of horror fans burning their HATCHET and WRONG TURN 2 dvds. If the story wasn't so funny, I'd feel bad. But I love LOVE ACTUALLY goddamnit. There, I said it. It's a good movie and Bill Nighy owns! And thus ends 2008. I know I left out a ton, but you have all of the previous blogs to look at if you want to catch up on what I may have missed. 2008 truly was one of the greatest years of my life, and my hopes are already soaring that 2009 will blow it away. I wrote this in a previous blog, but in a year plagued by strikes, lay offs, financial troubles, and struggle for most of the world...I am truly blessed that I not only have mustered through it all, but that I've been able to entertain and help so many people laugh off and forget about the stress. So my wish for all of you as the New Year quickly approaches in a few hours... is that you all remain healthy and that you all find happiness in the coming year. I've got so much coming your way over the next 12 months, and though I'll be busy as all hell, you will all be in my thoughts and I will do my best to deliver for you all. I may be harder to reach than usual and I may not be checking in here as often as I would like, but I'll be thinking of all of you on my adventures and endeavors. 2009 will kick off with the production of FROZEN and the festival tour for GRACE. In the coming months you'll hear all kinds of news about the other projects (FAIRY TALE POLICE, AQUAMAN, FINN & WOOF, release dates for GRACE, the release of the secret lightsaber project, etc.) so stay tuned and get excited. I leave you now with an image to address what so many of you are asking about... Yes, it is happening. I just can't say for sure what my involvement will be yet. As you just read, I have way more than I can possibly handle on my plate. So if the powers that be can be patient, I will return at the helm. But if the ship has to set sail sooner rather than later, I may have to pass the torch. Think good thoughts, dream gory dreams, and just maybe I'll be the one behind the camera when Victor Crowley returns to kick your fucking asses. Happy New Year! I love you all! -Adam

Current mood:  peaceful
Friends- You'll have to forgive the brevity of this post, but I'm working on so many things right now that I haven't even taken a leak since early November. As you can imagine, free time to blog is hard to come by (and my bladder hurts wicked bad)- so I gotta keep this one short. Normally, I make a Halloween short film every year as a sort of "Halloween present" to my friends and fans. Hopefully most of you got to see THE TIVO this year as it was by far the most downloaded short that my crew and I have done in 10 years of making those shorts. Right around the time we were shooting THE TIVO, I was approached to join in on XBOX's "HORROR MEETS COMEDY" project in which a handful of notable horror directors were each given the task of creating a comedy pilot for XBOX LIVE. I gladly joined in on the fun and now... just in time for Christmas... I present to you all: My new web pilot FAIRY TALE POLICE is now available to watch for FREE on Microsoft's XBOX LIVE. For those of you on XBOX, simply log in to the main interface, click on "Video Marketplace" and you'll find HORROR MEETS COMEDY listed under New Arrivals, Independent, or Most Popular- take your pick. It's easy enough to find. The download is FREE and it gives you the option of full HD or standard def. Even easier, just click the link below and automatically add FAIRY TALE POLICE to your download cue:  For those of you who do not have an XBOX, don't fear. The pilot will be available on a number of other websites and platforms within time. While I won't know any details or facts until later on in January, this episode could very well be the first of many more. But more on that later. F.T.P. was an absolute joy to work on and I know that I speak for everyone involved when I say that it was nothing short of a blast to make. It's these kinds of projects that remind me why I love to do what I do. Don't get me wrong, the Hollywood stuff, the feature films, the TV development, the writing, the promoting, the touring... it's all awesome and a dream come true. But when you are given the means to gather up a small group of your friends and create something completely pure with no regard for anything other than "what you want to do" - the feeling is magical. Thank you to XBOX, Safran Digital Group, and my friend James Gunn for inviting me to participate. It was an honor and a pleasure. While I have had what is easily the best year of my life so far, I know that this year has been rough for many others. In the entertainment industry we are still reeling from a strike and a crumbling economy that is destroying our means to get projects made and I know that all across the world everyone is going through their own struggles both personally and financially. Every so often I get a letter from someone that details their recent downward spiral of events- getting laid off, projects falling apart, having to move out because they are poor... and then they'll say how they threw in HATCHET and for an hour and a half- they forgot how much everything sucked and they just laughed. While some may take that kind of compliment lightly, it actually means a whole ton of a lot to me. 'Cause that's kind of what I do. Entertain. So for those of you going into the holidays bummed out about being poor this year, being depressed at the state of the world, or being saddened by any other number of things that are bringing this Christmas down... I hope that you get the chance to watch FAIRY TALE POLICE, feel like a 10 year-old again, and even if it's just for 8 short minutes- I hope that I can help you laugh. While I can't say or do anything to fix anyone's problems, if I can help you forget about them for just a few minutes- I feel pretty blessed. I know many of you are waiting to hear more about FROZEN, HATCHET 2, and my recent personal events (holy shit, I'm someone's FIANCEE?!). A big end-of-the-year wrap-up blog is coming with all of the highlights from this year and news of what's to come next year. Soon... -Green

It's official, word is on the street, and I can finally talk about it! For now, here's the press release... Much more info to come... A BIGGER BOAT LAUNCHES FROZEN AT THE AMERICAN FILM MARKET SANTA MONICA, CA (November 11, 2008) Peter Block's A Bigger Boat announced today that it has greenlit the chilling thriller FROZEN, written and to be directed by Adam Green (HATCHET, SPIRAL). The company will produce the picture with Green's ArieScope Pictures. GreeneStreet Films International (GSFI) is selling the film worldwide and has already closed deals at the American Film Market with the United Kingdom's Momentum, Spain's Aurum, France's Metropolitan, the Middle East's ECS, Brazil's Playarte, Israel's United King, Scandinavia's Svensk, and Turkey's Medyavizyon. The story revolves around three skiers who are stranded on a chairlift and forced to make life or death choices that prove more dangerous than even freezing to death. "FROZEN is the perfect first project for A Bigger Boat," said Peter Block. "A high concept thriller with a talented young filmmaker on board. HATCHET proved that Adam can direct fun horror comedy and attract an audience but this project will show his ability to create a realistic, tension filled thriller. I couldn't be more excited to work with him and his team at ArieScope." "Anyone who has skied before knows the fear that rushes through their heart when the chairlift momentarily stops," said Adam Green. "FROZEN will build on such primal fears as 'heights' and 'freezing to death' and take them to terrifying new levels. It's an honor to be working with GSFI and Peter Block, a producer who truly gets the horror genre and who knows how to do it right." ArieScope's Cory Neal added "To have FROZEN be the flagship production for A Bigger Boat has us excited beyond words." "The response to Adam and FROZEN has been overwhelming," said GSFI president, Amy Beecroft. "It shows that when you have a strong concept and people who know how to deliver this particular genre, there's a marketplace. This has been a great way to launch A Bigger Boat's partnership with GreeneStreet Films International." Principal photography is scheduled to commence early next year and casting is already underway. Green is represented by Endeavor Talent Agency and Industry Entertainment.  ABOUT PETER BLOCK/A BIGGER BOAT A Bigger Boat runs in partnership with GreeneStreet Films and has a domestic distribution deal with Overture Films and Alliance Films. Most recently, Block completed production on the box office smash SAW V. This year he is also overseeing production on RAMBO, THE EYE, THE BANK JOB, MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN, the upcoming DAYBREAKERS, and the Gold Circle true-life horror film THE HAUNTING IN CONNECTICUT, while also serving as Co-Executive Producer of the NBC series "Fear Itself". Under Block's leadership, Lionsgate acquired or produced over 1,000 films including the box office sensations CRASH, SAW, OPEN WATER, FAHRENHEIT 9/11, as well as such art-house hits as THE COOLER, LANTANA and SECRETARY. Block spearheaded the company's foray into theatrical genre pictures with the acquisition of CABIN FEVER, HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES, HARD CANDY, and HOSTEL, as well as expanding the genre's international focus with Neil Marshall's DESCENT, Peter Jackson's DEAD ALIVE, Guillermo del Toro's CRONOS, Takashi Shimizu's JU-ON: THE GRUDGE, Alex Aja's HIGH TENSION, and UNDEAD from Australia's Spierig brothers.

By now, most of you have heard that XBOX LIVE is about to start bringing it's 10 million or so users new original content to watch on their game consoles. As part of that endeavor, XBOX LIVE has teamed up with Safran Digital and one of my favorite filmmakers and friends James Gunn and together they are launching a series of webisodes called "Horror To Comedy". Essentially, they asked a select group of directors who are known in the horror genre, to write and direct original pilot episodes of their own web comedy series. Some of the guys included are James Wan (SAW), Marcus Nispel (TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE), Lucky McKee (MAY), and of course James Gunn (SLITHER) just to name a few. I was fortunate enough to be asked, and I of course couldn't say "yes" fast enough.  My pilot is called FAIRY TALE POLICE and it will be available to watch for free on XBOX LIVE starting this Christmas Eve. Don't have an XBOX yet, you say? You don't even know the art of teabagging a noob in Halo, you say? Well- don't fear. After awhile these shorts will be available absolutely everywhere. So what's FAIRY TALE POLICE all about? It's a COPS inspired reality show where two human police officers maintain peace and order in a land full of comical villains and cartoonish monsters. One night I was driving behind a car with a bumper sticker that said "HUMPTY DUMPTY WAS PUSHED." And while on the outside my first reaction was to start talking to myself and saying "What idiot would put THAT on their new car?" on the inside... my mind instantly went to the place where I wondered how exactly anyone thinks they could PROVE that Humpty Dumpty was pushed. I mean, in the rhyme- do you remember any witnesses listed? A police report? It's not all that clear when all of the king's horses and all of the king's men actually GOT there, only that they couldn't put Humpty Dumpty back together again. I arrived at my destination (a LOVE/HATE concert- yes!) and told my partners in crime at ArieScope Pictures what my idea was. We all agreed right then and there that we would just shoot it on our own someday. Kind of like the Halloween shorts that we do every year. But (I shit you not), the very next day James Gunn called me to see if I had any ideas for an XBOX series. "Um... as a matter of fact, I do." So I went over to see him, pitched him my idea- and 48 hours later I was green-lit. That's less than a WEEK from coming up with the idea to being green-lit to shoot. If only the major movies and TV shows could move that fast! My two main police officers are being played by two of my very good friends, Rachael Leigh Cook and Parry Shen. Rachael and I have come dangerously close to working together on a variety of projects over the past 3 years, so it was awesome that schedules worked out and the timing clicked for this one. Forget the fact that we're friends, I've gone on the record in numerous interviews where I've said she is one of my favorite actresses and that her innocence and grace remind me of a new generation's Audrey Hepburn. The sheer fact that she's willing to come and play with us on such a fun little side project and argue with silly puppets on camera is a testament to just how awesome and down to earth she really is. And Parry Shen, as you all know, was not only one of my stars in HATCHET but the star of this year's Halloween short film "THE TiVO". He's another who I've often raved about over the years. After watching him kick his own ass on the floor while fighting that giant foam TiVO last month, I knew I had to work with him again as soon as possible. Both Parry and Rachael have big hearts and very good senses of humor- so they were the perfect actors for this project.  Rachael Leigh Cook  Parry Shen And I don't want to ruin any surprises, but yes, both of my better halves (my plutonic life partner in film Joel David Moore and my beautiful girlfriend Rileah Vanderbilt) have roles, too.  Joel David Moore  Rileah Vanderbilt But with only a month to wait and see it... you can wait for the details! Tomorrow night we begin our actual shoot for FAIRY TALE POLICE. Stay tuned for more info about it over the next month. This is gonna be a HELL of a lot of fun! -Adam

Ten years ago this month, ArieScope Pictures was born. I had just gotten out of college and I had taken a job working on local cable commercials in the Boston area. On my first day of work, I was paired up with Will Barratt and we were sent off to Nashua, New Hampshire to shoot a commercial for a car dealership. By the time we were driving home we had hatched plans to get us out of cable advertising, break us in to Hollywood, and have us making "real movies". And I had only known him for a few hours at that point. That weekend we "borrowed" the cable company's equipment to shoot a short film that we could entertain friends with at an upcoming Halloween party. With a Super8 film camera and Time Warner Cable's three lights, we rounded up some friends and set out to make COLUMBUS DAY WEEKEND. The premise of the short was that Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers had stalked the same group of teenagers by mistake and the whole point of it all was really just to make our friends laugh. Little did we know how many people would actually wind up seeing that short film and what it would ultimately lead to for us. But before I go any further, here are some funny stories from the making of COLUMBUS DAY WEEKEND while I am getting all nostalgic and thinking back to the beginning here… We needed a location with lots and lots of woods, so I contacted a childhood friend's parents who lived on the edge of a forest back in my hometown of Holliston. For those of you who are HATCHET fans- it was Scott Barnes' parents. You know the line in the movie where Misty randomly checks her cell phone and says "Ew, Scott Barnes called me?" That was a shout out to this guy. Anyway, Scott's parents were kind enough to give us full reign over their property. Their one and only request before they went out for the night? "Whatever you do… don't let Dusty the cat out of the house." "No problem, Mr. and Mrs. Barnes!" I swear, you could still see Mr. Barnes' break lights driving away down the street… and Dusty had already gotten out of the house. For the next 3 HOURS we tried everything possible to capture this filthy creature and get it back in the house, but we had no luck. Finally, in an act of desperation, I grabbed Dusty by the tail and pulled him out of the bush he was trying to hide in. "Got him!" I yelled. That's when Dusty proceeded to try and scratch my eyes out. Literally. The first claw hooked the inside of my right eye socket and sliced my skin wide open. My eye was bleeding everywhere. But hey… at least I got Dusty back in the house and we could start shooting. "Dude… you need to disinfect your eye." Will said. Not able to find ANY rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide in the Barnes household, Will pointed out that we had a bottle of cheap Tequila on set that was being used as a prop in the film. Before I could think it through, Will was pouring TEQUILLA straight into my bleeding eye. It hurt. It hurt BAD. But finally, we were ready to begin shooting our short film. All I needed to do was find a towel to wipe the liquor out of my eyes with. So I went back into the house and when I opened the door… I let Dusty out again. Needless to say, we didn't get much actual shooting done that night. Other problems we had were the fact that we forgot to bring enough extension cords to get the lights in to the actual woods… so instead we had to shoot the whole movie in Mr. and Mrs. Barnes' backyard… where we proceeded to build a campfire and burn an enormous hole in the center of their lawn. I should also point out that for some reason we loaded our camera with the wrong kind of film and the footage was completely unusable when we got it back from the lab. Luckily, we had also been rolling with Time Warner's Betacam next to our film camera as it was recording the audio for each scene. So we were able to salvage the short by using the Betacam tapes. Sure, every shot was off kilter and framed wrong as the Betacam was never meant to be shooting the actual scenes- but at least we still had a little movie we could show our friends. In editing we realized that we needed a production company name. With my birthday being March 31st and Will's being April 2nd, we somehow came up with the name "ArieScope" as it combined "something film sounding" and "something we had in common". Yes, that's literally how we came up with the name.  10 years later, ArieScope Pictures is a real Hollywood production company producing theatrically released feature films and our own original content. And though we've grown substantially and gone on to great success… two things have remained the same after all of that time. First of all, we are still laughing even though (with us) whatever can possibly go wrong WILL always go wrong. And second of all, no matter what big projects we are working on, at this time every year we still drop everything and make a new "Halloween short film". In honor of how we got our start, every single Halloween since 1998 we have gotten our "family" of creative artists together and made a short film in one night (OK, so we've started cheating and spreading them out over two nights because we're getting old, wanna fight about it?), with absolutely no budget, and all in the name of FUN. So last week a group of us got together and we made "The TiVO" which I'm proud to unveil for you all today. This year's short is by far the most "out-there" one that we've done yet. With inspirations coming from The Thing, The Shining, Single White Female, and a few other classics… this entry into the "ArieScope Hallowen Short Film Catalogue" is as weird as they come. I don't know how many of you have TiVO at home or how many just rough it out with DVR, but hopefully you know enough about TiVO to understand how absolutely amazing it is for your quality of life… but how entirely creepy it can be at the same time. Regardless, I can say that I've never laughed so hard on a set as I did when we were shooting this film's climax. 10 years later… I still love what I do and I can still appreciate how lucky I am to be doing it. If you are new to all of this, be sure and click over to the official ArieScope Pictures website (www.ariescope.com) and click the link that says "View The Short Films" to see what you've missed over the past decade. Which reminds me, some of you may have noticed that the same two people who started our website for us 10 years ago are still the same two designing and running it for us now. John and Nicole Anguish are "lifers". I guess that most everybody who gets involved with ArieScope winds up in it for life. And that must be why 10 years later, ArieScope Pictures is still alive and growing beyond anything we ever hoped for. To EVERYONE who is a part of ArieScope, from the other folks who work here alongside me, to the extremely talented pool of cast and crew that work with us regularly, to the friends and fans all over the world that have supported our work over the years… happy birthday, happy anniversary, and most of all… HAPPY HALLOWEEN! If someone could have told us then- while we were sanding off a girl's face with a power sander and throwing spoiled meat all over another- that we'd eventually make a living… sanding off a girl's face with a power sander and throwing spoiled meat all over another…I never would have believed them.  So without any further adieu, here's the 2008 Halloween short film..."The TiVO". -Adam
