The Butcher one was quite intersting... Ed Gein huh? Interesting, I've never seen anyone do a film about him before, he was an interesting person lol. The music got kinda annoying though, repeating over and over again. That and it seemed like the scenes were the same somtimes. All I'm saying is that if someone didn't know the Ed Gein story they wouldn't understand the video. But I did enjoy it, the actor was a pretty good choice, he seemed quite creepy lol

[Theshapecool]

thanks!, Updates on Hellbilly are:
+We have secured the rights to the songs of Blazing Haley to use,
+Actress Stacie Scott is on board to play victim Hanna
+Old Sledge Films fave Dan Bennett will return to Play a victim

its a good chance it will get distrebution.

Just to let you all know we have added a new cast member. after a long search for the right guy to do the job for the opening voice over, I finally got a guy who was on the A list in terms of talent. Tom Tarantini.
He has acted in a lot of stuff and is probably best remembered for Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2. He played Roach, the drunk in part one and the coach in part 2. He also did the voice of darry screaming at the end aswell as the radio evangelist parts. I had a lengthy phone conversation with him and hes a really nice guy. Cant wait to get his stuff.

[Theshapecool]

Now Pending roles from Debbie Rochon, Eli Roth, Patric Warburton and more.
anyone got any comments????
what the hell is wrong with this board?
Epsilon, where are you? surely you can comment.

[Epsilon]

Aye.

Sorry, I'm not planning to pursue an acting career in Great Britain any time soon. I do watch your movies every now and then. Mostly because I'm on your personal mailing list. The Butcher movie are invocative. I admire the stories you decide to work with, but sometimes the editing needs to be a little faster paced. I'm not one for artsy movies either. Your themes are orginal and worth a good look. Best of luck.

Check out Theshapecool's movies if you haven't already, guys. Leave him some feedback. Chat with him on AIM. It's good stuff.

[maj_barnes]

I'm surprised not that many people have been giving too much response on this on here. It's really looking top notch.

[DEDFX]

Wait a minute, are you honestly getting Lloyd Kaufman and Trent Haaga to act in your movie?

[Theshapecool]

Yeah, thats what I said. trent is unsure at the mo as hes real busy on a big project for him, but as of now I am working a deal with tom savini, wes craven and david arquette.
Keep your eyes peeled for updates and check out the myspace site
www.myspace.com/hellbilly58

[DEDFX]

For some strange reason I don't beleive you, do you really have THAT much money to cast them in your film???

[Theshapecool]

Well why would I lie!
I will keep everyone updated on here anyway, I'll upload some snippetts to youtube.
wow.....Im totally dissapointed in this forum, first nobody buts an eyelid at an actual movie
being made and now im accused of lying. Well isnt this the spirit of film making.
DEDFX, I will work out a free ticket for admission when the film plays in your town,
that will end any doubts you have.
I dont have alot of money, but that dosent mean I cant make a film with great actors.

[rep22]

Hey, I found this thread over my Christmas break, but my internet's so slow at home, I didn't get a chance to watch any of your movies. I just got back to college today, and I just watched your Jigsaw's Game movie. It went together well, and I liked the theme. The voice over sounded really good haha.

The blood looked good, especially once it got to be the big patch of blood on his arm. And from the beginning, when it was said that the key was in one of his fore arms, I figured he'd choose the wrong one, but the little note was creative .

My only real downer, would be the acting. If you watch the real Saw movies, those people look like they've been beat around and stuff. This guy had a clean shirt, wasn't dirty at all, looked like he went there voluntarily, when in the real movies, they were kidnapped, so who knows what all happened on their way. At first he didn't seem to play it off as a very serious situation, but as the clip went, it got better. It wasn't that bad, but I could've been more convinced.

Other then that, I liked it. It looked real good, the lighting and the look of each shot turned out well and had a nice effect. I'll watch the other two in a bit, once I get the rest of my stuff unloaded. Good luck on your current production!

[Moviebox]

Yeah, this forum is pretty dead now. It was best in its peak 2003-2004

[DEDFX]

It's just I don't belevie you could get all those famous people for a ow budget movie of yours, I'm glad I'm not the only Troma fan here.

[Theshapecool]

Yeah man damn I love Troma!
Lloyd was great to work with, terrible actor but that makes it better because its lloyd.
I cant wait to play it infront of the core fans so they will cheer when lloyd comes on.
He imrpoved a load of diroreah lines too, sooo funny ill have to keep that in!
I understand it seems far fetched as the budget is so low, but Im not lying.
Damn it sure is my dream to work with these guys but I'm not that sad.
Just keep your eyes open and ill post some vids.

[Theshapecool]

Great news! We just added a new cast member.
I'm so very proud to announce that the role of the tv homicide reporter goes to....

Debbie Rochon!

More later!
