24: Maelstrom Productions Wraps Lovecraft Feature Production
~ updated ~
 |
For
Immediate Release:
Seattle (PRWEB) May 24, 2005
-- Seattle’s Maelstrom Productions (www.maelstromproductions.com)
has completed principal photography on its feature
adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft’s "The Thing
on the Doorstep."
The
shooting took 18 full days and resulted in 28 hours
of footage that will be edited for the 90-minute
production. "Strange Aeons: The Thing
on the Doorstep" is expected to be released
in the
|
"The
locations we used sprawled all over Washington state,
from a mental institution to a college campus, to a mansion
that was more than 10,000 square feet," Director
Eric Morgret explained. "And a graveyard -- every
horror movie needs a graveyard."
After shooting scenes in various places stretching from
Bellingham to Tacoma, Morgret selected the Mount Pleasant
Cemetery in the Queen Ann Hill section of Seattle for
the graveyard scene of "Strange Aeons: The
Thing on the Doorstep." The cemetery is the same
one seen in the opening credits of the HBO show, "Six
Feet Under."
The
mansion used for the production was built in 1888, Morgret
said, and is now owned by Jesper Myrfors, former art director
of Wizards of the Coast and the creator of the new game,
Clout Fantasy.
"Every
place we went, people were great to work with,"
Morgret said. "They were all committed to helping
us and very helpful."
"Strange
Aeons: The Thing on the Doorstep" is a
dark tale centered around Dan Upton, a Miskatonic University
professor of primitive religions played by J.D. Lloyd,
his teaching assistant Edward Derby played by Erick Robertson,
and his mysterious, new student, Asenath Waite, played
by Angela Grillo. The feature production is a tale of
wizards, shallow graves and magic of the blackest kind
around a campus whose halls have echoed for many years
with the footsteps of some of society’s most vile
trespassers.
"Adapting
Lovecraft for the screen is a huge challenge,"
admits screenwriter K.L. Young, "but I think fans
will find it a faithful, if updated adaptation."
Both Morgret and Young have hinted that the Strange
Aeons title may be a banner for future Lovecraft adaptations.
The
project is hip-deep in post-production, and a final cut
is expected by early fall 2005. Morgret said Maelstrom’s
post-production sound team is currently seeking a computer
effects person to finalize some of the scenes.
Maelstrom
Productions has also released a DVD of is original short
adaptation of "The Thing on the Doorstep,"
which was an official selection of the 2003 H.P. Lovecraft
Film Festival in Portland, Ore.

23: New Zann images!
 |
Here's
the latest on Anna Gawrilow's
stop-motion
adaptation of "The Music of Erich Zann"!
Anna reports that the film is moving along nicely
although they "...had
some very bad flickering trouble caused of unstable
lightning, that is sometimes a kind of stop motion
disease."
She went on to say that, "We are shooting now
for 3 weeks and things are going well. Next week
we are going to finish the first scene, but not
the first scene in the movie, because we shot the
last scene at first. It is the most difficult one
and the longest. I can say we finished up already
25% of shooting..."
In
this version of Lovecraft's tale, Erich Zann is
a piano player and only likes to play atonal music.
Since nobody wants to hear that, he survives by
playing at night in crappy honky tonks with cranky
singing jezebels for little money...

May 22: The Nameless City awaits!
Director Rob Sibley sends news of
an interesting film currently underway in New Jersey.
The project, entitled Nameless City, is "based
loosely on the works of H.P. Lovecraft"...
Here's
a synopsis:
"Paranormal
Investigator Alan Moore (Rob Sibley) deals with the strange
and unusual on a daily basis. This time he's bitten off
more then he can chew when a demon from the 17th century
is resurrected and takes form in Thomas Murphy, a post
high school graduate. Things take an even stranger turn
when a Night-Gaunt appears out of the water's of a local
cranberry bog, wreaking havoc on anything in it's path.
Jordan (Rose Bender) is the one survivor to face the Gaunt
and keep her life. Together Alan and Jordan must un-ravel
the strange things happening at sun down and put an end
to all the demonic chaos occurring in New Jersey."
Rose
Bender |
Rob
Sibley |
According to Rob, "Pre-production is going smoothly,
and we've nailed down the cast with Rose Bender (as Jordan)
in the female lead and myself Rob Sibley (as Alan Moore)
in the male lead. The script has been completed...",
he went on to add that, "this is part one of a
planned trilogy."

19: New Cool Air on the horizon!
Longtime
genre director Albert (The Sword and the Sorcerer,
Cyborg) Pyun is finally tackling Lovecraft with
an adaptation of Cool Air. He recently gave fangoria.com
the scoop on the upcoming project. "We’re
shooting now in Los Angeles and will wrap this Friday,"
Pyun told Fangoria, "Robert Ladesich is the producer,
and a new screenwriter, Cynthia Curnan, adapted the short
story. Morgan (Space: Above and Beyond) Weisser
stars. My company, Filmwerks, will supervise distribution
via Chris Davis International, and we hope to have it
ready for release by October, just in time for Halloween!"
Fangoria
reports that Pyun has been a fan of Lovecraft, and this
story, for years, and didn't hesitate when he saw the
chance to bring it to the screen himself. "I’ve
been a fan of it since I was a child," he says.
"It always stuck in my head as something I wanted
to put on film. Then I happened to read Cynthia Curnan's
screenplay last year, and it captured my vision of the
tale. I knew this was the perfect adaptation."
He went on to add, "I especially enjoyed shooting
the main character’s heart attack because of its
surprising twist in the story and its drama. Morgan conveyed
the character’s bewilderment and fear in mesmerizing
fashion." The director says the film won’t
rely on blood and guts, and that: "[We’ll have]
more atmosphere and getting inside the character’s
head. There are a few effective effects shots, but I loved
the screenwriter’s take on the main character’s
internal paranoia and imagination. What is or isn’t
real?"
The
cast also includes Crystal Green as the doctor (in a gender
switch from the story), Wendy Phillips as the landlady
and Virginia Dare as her daughter Estella (another sex
change). Norbert Weisser (The Thing) plays a mysterious
lodger with a dark, twisted secret...

11: Cthulhu needs your help
For
Immediate Release:
CTHULHU
FILM NEEDS VOLUNTEERS:
All
Lovecraft fans and lovers of film in the Seattle area
this summer. Arkham NW Productions LLC is in the process
of putting together a daring attempt to tackle a smart
psychological horror film. This is not a slasher film
and it is not camp. We are filming a high-end adaptation
of the Shadow Over Innsmouth that digs into the
horror that Lovecraft imbued in his piece -the inevitable
horror of heredity. We are making a coming home again
film couched in horror. We are very proud of our script
and are looking for like minded individuals who want to
reach for the summit. People who are willing to work hard
to bring something special into this world. Address all
queries to Arkhamnw@yahoo.com
OVERVIEW
OF THE COMPANY:
Arkham
NW Productions consists of a group of like-minded individuals
in close geographic proximity (Seattle, WA and Portland,
OR) who joined together to make a film subsequent to an
understanding of our common goals. Most significantly,
we share two passions: An intention to make great art
in our home territory of the Pacific Northwest, using
local talent and reflecting a discreet set of local values
and identifying characteristics, and, a strong-willed
opposition to the direction taken recently by the nation
at large, toward media-fueled ignorance and bigotry, war
and environmental spoilage, greed and disregard for the
welfare of future generations.
We
feel that the best way to advance these agendas jointly
is through a feature film production, Cthulhu,
with other films to follow. Market research shows that
a first film should have a built-in audience that is likely
to see the picture regardless of media promotion and critical
response. The young, urban audience for horror films is
that guarantee, a demographic attentive to alternative
media (which tends to be left-leaning) and in which cultural
product choice is often steered by word-of-mouth and among
affinity groups on the Internet. It is also a well-established
tradition in which horror successfully delivers social
and political messages through the use of radical metaphor:
witness the popularity of such films as Dawn of the
Dead and Invasion of the Body Snatchers, both
of which incidentally have been remade. In this respect
the genre is ideal for our purposes, which would be less
well-served by a subtler approach. Horror, we believe,
will offer us the latitude to create a piece of high art
which will make a bold statement about the state of the
nation and the assumptions of the larger culture.
Given
Seattle’s cultural prominence and wealth of native
talent, we feel that it is very unusual that a Seattle-based
independent feature film has never received theatrical
distribution. We believe it is time for this to change...

Cthulhu website for further information.

In the June 2005 issue of Playboy,
actor Paul
Giamatti (Sideways) expresses his interest
in the writings of H.P. Lovecraft (in the 20Q interview).
Wonder if he would consider acting in a Lovecraft adaptation...
Q11
Playboy: How crazy-or should we say "eccentric"-are
you?
Giamatti: I talk to myself constantly. Is that eccentric,
or am I losing my mind? Or is it just sad? I'm obsessed
with things. I have to have certain kinds of books around
me. I'm always interested in books by H.P. Lovecraft.
All that early pulpy horror stuff is kind of interesting
to me. I love to buy comic books, too...
Q20
Playboy: Sure, but a gold statue would be nice too.
Giamatti: Yeah,
where's my little gold man? A nomination would mean greater
cash flow, plus I'd be able to buy more Lovecraft and
comic books...

2: New Unnameable EP!

Good
God, man, they've put it online to be freely downloaded!!
The
latest rituals investigations by The Unnameable
have been released (gods spare us) as a free mp3 EP by
Dreamland Recordings. "Graves Are Not Harde to
Digg, Nor Acids Loth to Burne" contains 3 new
tracks, following up The Unnameable's sordid debut
CD "But Of That I Will Not Speak.". These
loathsome pieces are entitled:
1
- The Black Gulfs of Space
2 - Teeth and Claws Sharpened on Centuries of Corpses
3 - If I Am Mad, It is Mercy.
The
Unnameable create dark soundscapes inspired by Lovecraft's
writings, sound worlds of crawling chaos and unspeakable
monstrosities.
Both
"Graves." and "But of That, I
Will Not Speak." are available as free downloads
from http://The_Unnameable.tripod.com,
at least until saner parties withdraw these terrible recordings
public availability indefinitely.
