Shadow Puppets

Новости от spikeylover Джеймс будет сниматься в психологическом триллере Shadow Puppets.

FROM BAPS (Bloody Awful Poets Society)

Frederick Thompson reporting on behalf of Wendy Thompson.

Wendy has just called me to say that in the last few minutes approaching 6.00
p.m. in London that Steve Himber has announced that James Marsters is to star in
a new film called Shadow Puppets, a psychological thriller. Filming commences
next Monday and James will be starring alongside Jolene Blalock, well known as
subcommander T’pol from the recently ended series Enterprise.

MTS (More than Spike) reporting same thing:

"Steve says to us, "It's not news unless you've heard it from me... the name of the Feature Film James will be starring in is called Shaddow Puppet, a psychological thriller which begins filming on Monday...for the next 5 weeks, then he goes back to SMallville and shoots some more over there with them. His co-star will be Joline Balock from Star Trek Enterprises."

It's listed as a Feature film.

Народ, какие мысли по этому поводу?

Скачала. Посмотрела. Первое: трейлер еще не доделан! Счетчик в углу показывает, что это рабочий экземпляр. Поскольку монтаж все вроде бы нормальный, смею предположить, что в него еще не добавили спецэффекты. Впрочем, это только предположение.

По-прежнему не уверена, что фильм выпустят на большой экран. Для кинопроката трейлеры делают гораздо более бьющие по нервам.

А в целом - ничего. Посмотреть на Джеймса всегда приятно.

Эх, моя не выдержала и скачала * пересчитываю мелочь в кармане* Да, по нервам не бьет, но если считать, что этот вариант еще не закончен (что думаю так и есть, так как на официальном сайте ссылок на него еще не выложено), можно предположить, что его еще будут дорабатывать и может атмосферку еще поднагнетут

Спасибо за приветствие! Джеймс в любом фильме выглядит супер, он прерожденный актер, взять хотя бы "Шанс". Я сама не видела, но все говорят, что фильм классный. Прикол - есть ДВД с фильмом, а посмотреть негде. Получается Джемсу просто нужен спонсор, ну, как всегда, все упирается в деньги

Транскрипт вопросов и ответов режиссера Майкла Уинника и актера Тони Тодда на конвенции Queen Mary.
Спасибо Helcat!

************************

This is my last Q&A account as I missed Tony Todd's solo Q&A and Mercedes McNab's Q&A.

Michael Winnick and Tony Todd Q & A

Q – About the origins of Shadow Puppets

MW – It’s a horror movie but it also tries to deal with issues such as whether our memories make us the people we are or whether regardless of memories we’d react in particular ways to circumstances. He said this was an aspect of the film that James was really interested in. He had minored in psychology in college and there is a progression that the characters go through which mirrors various elements of the human psyche.

Q – About casting

TT – Made some jokey comments about how he knew he wasn’t the only actor being considered for his role and referred to another actor being up for the role (Danny Treho?). As a result he almost blew off a meeting with Michael Winnick to talk about the movie in the first place.

MW – Said that Tony had been on the top of his list for the role but after they’d contacted Tony’s people they had also checked out some other actors availability in part because Tony’s people were asking for more money than they wanted to pay. As for James they sent out the breakdown for the roles and got word that James was interested. Michael met with all the actors separately and didn’t actually get the cast together until the start of the filming period which he thought helped because in the film none of them know who each other is. The last role to be cast was Jolene’s and she was cast immediately before they started filming.

Q – About where they shot the film

MW – Most of the filming was done at a disused mental hospital which had a very strange vibe to it. They had a lot of problems with equipment mysteriously breaking down. Someone almost got electrocuted and it proved to be a very unnerving place to shoot.

TT – Made some comment about something in the trailers not working too.

Q – About accidents on the set

TT – Early on during the set Tony was called to help carry a woman who’d fallen and hurt her ankle up some stairs so they could take her to a doctor. He said they needed a helicopter but had to make do with him.

MW – He actually injured his shoulder which he did playing baseball on his one day off. He was diving in at the plate and managed to dislocate his shoulder but was at least safe.

Q – About the costume choices and whether any of the actors had problems with them

MW – It was clear in the script what the actors would have to wear so he didn’t hear any complaints as it was hardly something that came as a surprise to them. It was a decision tied to the psychological journey of the characters as well.

Q – About Michael Winnick’s earlier film Deuce

A – It was made really as a test of the technology that George Lucas wanted to use for the recent Star Wars films. Lucas wasn’t directly involved but he had ties to USC and actually awarded Michael his degree.

Q – About the release of the film

MW – The film isn’t quite finished but is very close. At the moment Shoreline are trying to get one of the main studios involved to get the film a wide release. This would require the studio to invest around $10 million to cover the costs for prints, posters and promotion. They hope to know whether that is going to happen by November. If that doesn’t happen Shoreline will then try and get the film a more limited theatrical release which would require them to negotiate with the theatres directly. Only if that didn’t happen would they look to a straight to DVD release.

Q – About it being in Cannes

MW – It wasn’t done in time for Cannes but Shoreline asked him to put together a trailer to act as a ‘taster’ for the movie. He was then surprised to hear from friends that his film’s trailer was on line! It turns out that the Shoreline site was hacked into and the basic trailer was stolen and posted on line. Shoreline were impressed it was the only trailer anyone stole.

Q – Was there any thing fans could do to aid the release

MW – Go to the Shoreline website, view the page, which should be updated soon and contact Shoreline to say how much we’re interested in seeing the film.

Q – About the look of the film

MW – Most horror films in recent years have gone for a ‘blue’ tone and he chose to go with an orange tone instead. So far he’s had very positive feedback as far as the look of the film goes.

Q – What are their favourite horror movies

MW – Seven, he’s only seen it once and doesn’t feel the need to see it again. He mentioned some others but I forget which.

TT – He mentioned a few films and included Farenheit 911. Michael agreed but said it was a horror movie to him for probably the complete opposite reasons Tony regarded it as a horror movie.

Q – Does the film include the clichés of characters doing stupid things ( the questioner cited Jolene’s character unlocking Tony’s character in one of the clips shown earlier)

MW – He doesn’t think so. He said it was hard to show in isolated clips but there is a lot of uncertainty as to whether the characters are what they seem and whether Jolene’s really is as sweet and good as first thought.

Q – About type casting and genre movies

TT – Doesn’t feel he’s been type cast as all his films are different. If he gets offered too many similar roles he takes time off and goes to New York to do a play.

MW – He’s mostly getting horror scripts but doesn’t feel in danger of being pigeon holed just yet. Maybe if he did 7 such films in a row it would be a problem.

Q – About the producers

MW – Talked about the producer Bob who was at the convention and always that bit better dressed than the rest of them no matter what the situation. He said that the producer had even taken Tony to a sporting event during the filming (sorry I’m blanking on if it was baseball or basketball) while Michael had been stuck at the asylum shooting. They joked that this was all part of the remit to keep Tony happy.

Q – About locations

MW – In addition to the asylum they also shot in a basement swimming pool. This turned out to be the hardest location to get as there was a distinct lack of basement swimming pools in LA.

Q – About support for the film

TT – Pointed out that many of Michael’s family were involved in the shoot including his mother and one of his brothers was one of the cast. Evidently the brother is one of twins.

Q – About green screen acting

TT – He hates it because he likes to work with other actors rather than on his own. The art is to totally believe in the special effect and respond in a real way. There was a special effects person on the set who could show them what the effects would look like.

May 15: Director talks SHADOW PUPPETS release

SHADOW PUPPETS depicts a nightmarish situation—a group of people who don’t know where or even who they are, locked in a strange facility and menaced by a homicidal supernatural force—but its release is a dream come true for writer/director Michael Winnick. Most horror films in SHADOW’s $1.2-million budget range go straight to DVD, but Winnick’s movie is hitting the big screen at the Fine Arts Theatre in Beverly Hills, CA June 22-29 (for showtimes and advance tickets, go here), with the possibility of expansion/extension before its DVD release via Anchor Bay July 24. The cast (see pics of ’em below) includes BUFFY’s James Marsters, CANDYMAN’s Tony Todd and STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE’s Jolene Blalock.

Winnick believes those names helped get SHADOW onto the big screen. “Because of all the fan support, we just knew we had to get it playing somewhere for at least a week. Especially after the James Marsters and Friends convention on the Queen Mary, where we showed about 10 minutes of footage and they seemed to like what they saw. James’ fans really took the film under their wings and have been promoting it, the Tony Todd fans have picked it up, and we believe Jolene [Blalock’s] STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE fans are about to come on board.”

Executive producer Morris Ruskin of Shoreline Entertainment, the company that made SHADOW PUPPETS, adds, “A lot of fans seem to be researching this film [on the Internet]. It’s phenomenal. Every film you make, you have a hope that it’s going to break through on a certain level. You don’t know until you know, but there’s a sense of excitement on this project, so my feeling is that we genuinely have a winner here.”

Lensed in 24p hi-def, SHADOW PUPPETS has special requirements for optimal theatrical projection, and the Fine Arts is one of the few that qualify. After meeting with Winnick, the theater’s owners decided to take a chance on the film. “They really liked the movie and said, ‘We just want to play this,’ ” Winnick says. Anchor Bay picked up the DVD rights at last year’s American Film Market; “We had a few bidders,” Winnick notes, “but they really had the best game plan.” As for the disc contents, “There’s a commentary track by myself and cinematographer Jonathan Hale, and a behind-the-scenes [featurette]. It will be in 5.1 Surround sound and widescreen. The shadow creature gets the full audio treatment—it’ll be all around you.”

It’s hoped there will be a Q&A session at the June 22 opening-night show at the Fine Arts, and in any case, Winnick says, “I will definitely be there.” In the meantime, check out the movie’s MySpace page here and look for more on the film in Fango #265, on sale in July. —Abbie Bernstein
