Good luck Kenny just let me know when I have to fly over for the filming.

Be sure to prep up, I need more gay vampires for this film!

And thanks for the support everyone. It's a step forward but i'm still waiting to see if there are gonna be any takers. Good thing i've been working on more material, like buying more tickets to the lottery. I also submitted the script for a review on a script reader's blog, preparing myself for the worst but hoping for the best.

That's really all you can do. I'm sure you'll have some takers.

I don't often read scripts, but in the few cases that I have, it's for movies I haven't seen yet. And when I finally get around to seeing the actual movie, it's always really interesting to see how things look and change in the final product compared to how I pictured them.

I remember you were one of my early supporters and gave it a rave review during your harsh cynical review period. That was a great sign, cause since then I have not heard a really bad thing about the script though I did get alot of pointers on how to make it better. Even my screenwriting co-worker thought it was incredibly well-written which came as a shock to me. And there are still more revisions come, i'm gonna focus the eighth draft on making it more visual especially on the organization's backstory, bringing Angel in the story earlier and thensome.

My worst fear is that it'll come out of my hands and they'll get Marky Fucking Mark to play Revolver or whatever. I don't care if the damn thing makes a +100 million, I don't want that to happen at all. I'm real adamant in directing it myself but I have to prove that i'm worthy to the task, so in the forthcoming months i'll probably be posting short movies.

So who would you have playing Revolver if you could pick anyone?

Had a Revolver since day one. DEUX was a short film before and a guy I met in film class played the role in it. His performance was pretty much the basis of the character from there on, before Revolver was just a generic stock "smart ass" character.

I recently got into contact with him and he's incredibly stoked about reclaiming the part. He says he loves the script and is giving me input on line rewrites and other story revisions. He just needs to brush up on his acting which he hasn't done in awhile. But he IS Revolver, no question about it. Just like Michael J. Fox is Marty Mcfly, I shit you not.

But if for WHATEVER reason that cannot be arranged (and believe me, i'll be bummed out completely) the next go-to guy is gonna be Aaron Paul from Breaking Bad.



Riku mentioned him ages ago. It wasn't until I started watching Breaking Bad that I realized he's my backup Revolver. The way he speaks and acts is almost perfect! His agent needs to get ahold of the script but i'm holding off on that still, cause the other guy is more fitting.
