So, Fuckin' ZOMBIES! is in the can. Still being edited, kinda, because we want the colors and music to look & sound awesome, but it's done. First "film" 4our 5ided Trian6le. has actually completed, and I'm proud as fuck of it. So many people worked so hard to get it done, and I know they'll be happy when everyone finally sees the fruits of our labor. Nobody has asked me yet, but I feel the need to pose the question to myself - what're we shooting next? We don't know. BUT, here are some ideas. (working title) The Quest! is one of my favorite ideas for a movie out of the countless I've had & tried to write, because it was born during a true-life event that inspired it - me, Morgan & James went through quite the ordeal to see Superbad on opening night (RIGHT after we'd finished principal photography on F'n Zs!), and I do believe that it was I who sugested that it'd make a movie about guys trying to see a movie would be cool. Also, I was jazzed about the idea because it used the characters from Savage., which we tried to film twice and it never quite worked. Plus, it's kind of the same movie as Savage. in that it's a film about a bunch of guys in a car... and if you ask me, that's a pretty simple concept to point a camera at & make happen. ...also, I don't care that nobody likes the title the Quest! enough to fully commit to it as the proper name of the script. Nobody has been able to come up with anything universally agreed uon as being better, so as long as I'm the one writing out the screenplay? THAT'S the name of the movie. One Night in Brooklyn is my newest idea for a script, and it was conceived when I was pissed off that I couldn't vote for Obama while living in Pennsylvania. It didn't really matter, because he won the state anyway... but still. Also, I doubted that movies like Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist got the City "right," and I was missing what I used to have when I was in that particular borough every other weekend. Also, I had just watched Go and wanted to write something with a ton of characters whose stories intersected, even in the most minute way. It's about this big party that I used to go to in Brooklyn that took place across two floors & a roof, whose residents paid their rent by throwing a building-wide celebration of debauchery. I'm less sure about this one's working title, and haven't even finished outlining it yet - nobody has read what I've wrote yet, so I'm not even sure that it's a strong enough idea for a film. But damnit, I want to write SOMETHING that serves as an ode to my first serious relationship. Morgan is still into the idea of giving Savage. one last serious try after one more rewrite, and I'm not totally opposed to the idea. The movie, for those who don't already know, is a partially-true story about a group of friends trying to save the glue that held their friendship together from his evil, manipulative girlfriend. It would be cheap to shoot, but there are a few problems with casting. We doubt that we'd be able to get the actual, factual Savage to act in the flick, because he's got lots of greater responsibilities & likely wouldn't have the time. There's one other character (Harold de la Rocha) who we're not sure who we'd get to play, and Matt is highly unlikely to devote the time to play the character based on him. It's also kind of discouraging to try and film a project for a third time, so I dunno. A script that I'd LOVE to shoot (but I know we probably won't) is one Morgan wrote for a college screenwriting course, entitled Battlefield: Party. It's a Superbad-ish story about friends at a (shocker!) party, trying to get laid and get their music played. I believe it to be simpler to film than Morgan does, and he's still working on the script so it's highly unlikely that it'll get made. But, I think the script's really funny so I'll never stop trying to convince him. There's a whole series of possible YouTube shorts based on Los Hispanicos that we could do, but that's just a pipe dream right now. And, after watching Cloverfield again I came up with a very silly idea for a cheesy movie called Giant Monsters Attack New York, but there's no way I'd actually commit to writing it... or, get anyone else to agree to it. That's it right now... I'm writing the Quest! and 1 Night in BK, so we'll see how those go. TOODLE-OO! - Malibu Chumsley, aka "That 456. Guy"
