Awesome stuff here. Dan’s newest project, “Dark Doings” is inspired by Amsterdam’s Red Light District.
He has “tagged” door windows with some realistic artwork.

“In 2019, a plague transforms the world’s population into vampires. With fewer humans to provide blood, the vampires seek to farm the remaining humans and to find a way to continue their existence. A secret team of vampires uncover a way that would rescue the human race.”

This actually looks pretty good to me! I’m a big fan of Ethan Hawke and Willem Dafoe. Directed by Peter and Michael Spierig, who also did the 2003 movie Undead. See below for the Undead trailer and HEAD TO YAHOO to see the Daybreakers trailer.

Well I thought I was just about ready to get the new site officially launched. I then opened the dreaded Internet Explorer 7 to view what I had been working on the past few days. Wow, what a mess! Divs moved to the right, divs on top of divs, divs completely off the page etc etc. I’m ready to scream! Back to the drawing board.

I don’t know if I will ever get this done.

Here are some useful links involving problems with the glorious Internet Explorer.

I cannot express enough how much I want to see this movie! It keeps getting pushed back. Some were saying because of money issues and then supposedly it was because John Hillcoat hadn’t finished it yet. I’m not a huge reader, but I literally could not put the book down. I love post apocalyptic stories and Cormac McCarthy has written an absolutely amazing story about an American wasteland after a nuclear winter has set in.  A father and son make their way to the coast. Not sure what they will find, but are certain that better times await there.

Esquire Magazine’s Tom Chiarella was lucky enough to sit down with Bob Weinstein and see an early version! Apparently it is true that the movie just wasn’t ready to be released last year, and has been set to be released this November instead. The studio is worried about how to market this film, since it is just such a dark and depressing story. Tom has written up a great article which is up at ESQUIRE.COM now. Highly Recommended!

“They want them to say, perhaps for reasons they cannot consciously fathom, to everyone they know: You have to see it. Really.

You do. Not because it’s grim, not because it’s depressing, or even scary. The Road is all of those things, both acutely and chronically. But there was not a single stupid choice made in turning this book into this movie. No wrongheaded lyric tribute to the novel. No moment engineered simply to make you jump.

The terror of it is in a normal world made vacant.”

Wow this looks fantastic! I was completely unaware of the original 2005 short that this new feature is based on.

The original 9 directed by Shane Acker was released way back in April of ‘05 and was nominated for an Academy Award. You can check this out below. Disregard the odd added sounds that somehow made it into to the beginning of this clip.

The new full length produced by Tim Burton and featuring the voice talents of Elijah Wood, John C. Reilly, Crispin Glover, and Jennifer Connelly will be released in September. I’m really looking forward to this. If the short is any indication, then this is going to be great. Here is the trailer:(extra points for using The Knife in it!)

Any Takashi Miike fans will want to check out a great interview that Twitch did with him recently.

“SA: Your films tend to have a very disjointed sense of humor. After making films that make excessive gore funny in a campy way, how difficult is it to take a superhero protagonist seriously?

TM: It wasn’t difficult at all. As a kid, I grew up watching the show and the sensibility and the humor of the show, which is quite wacky in itself, I think influenced the way I grew up as an adult. Not that Yatterman is everything but it did greatly influence how I grew up as an adult. Perhaps if I didn’t watch the show as a child, I would be a very different director now. That’s something that’s been ingrained in me as a person and a director. I don’t think there’s a big gap there.”

It’s already been a month since the last update. Still no content. Just taking my time with the header for now. I’d say it’s coming along pretty nice so far. I’m thinking that the content with have concrete and dirt from under the “house” as the background. Definitely all css and will attempt to use Jquery for some areas.
