H.P.
LOVECRAFT'S THE BOOK
writer/director: James
Raynor
producer: Nicola Ford
A man tries to unlock the meaning of the Necronomicon, the dreaded tome which sent his old professor insane, with HILARIOUS CONSEQUNCES! Adapted from two stories by H.P. Lovecraft, "The Book" and "The Descendant."
Status: Written and the first act is storyboarded. I've handed it in to uni to produce this year, but I sincerely doubt they're gonna touch it, especially since a guy explodes in it and I'm not gonna give them the rights to it unless I can direct it and Nicola produces it.
In the highly likely event
that they pass, I may shoot it over Christmas or failing that, Easter.
It all depends on the progress of...
ZOMBOCALYPSE! (Feature)
An episodic zombie flick featuring 4-5 stories (each written and directed by a different person) revolving around an undead apocalypse, with HILARIOUS CONSEQUENCES!
Status: Some people are further than others. I've barely finished my outline, the opening episode entitled "Abra-Cadaver" starts shooting mid-October.
I have written a song for
my story though...
ZOMBIES
ON A TRAIN (Short)
writer/director: James
Raynor
A bunch of junkies on board a Transpennine train accidentally inject themselves with an experimental biological weapon, transforming them into carnivorous undead beasts from Hell, with HILARIOUS CONSEQUENCES!
I had trouble coming up with a title for this Resident Evil-inspired short, then I heard about Snakes on a Plane, and realised that ti didn't need a proper title.
Status: Script is written and fully storyboarded. Click here for an animatic of the entire film (Mov, 9.2MB). You might want to ignore the quality of the acting, in that I played all the parts myself.
Presently looking into the
viability of shooting on a real train.
RUMBLE
IN THE BOWELS (Feature)
writer/director: James
Raynor
A freak encounter with aliens leads Richard Cranium to acquire amazing powers of flatulence, bringing him to the attention of mad scientist Dr. Fetid Faeces, who wants to conquer the world with an army of Faecal Fighters, with HILARIOUS CONSEQUENCES!
Status:
Equipment Aquisition: It would have been made by now if I could've got
hold of a decent camera over summer. I'm hoping to have it in the can by
Summer 2007.
Status:
Well, that ain't gonna happen. We'll see about summer 2008.
MEAT
AND TWO VEG (Working Title, Short)
writer/director: James
Raynor
A man spends an enchanted evening with another man he met on the internet. By the morning, one of them will be dead. And sans willy. The CONSEQUENCES of which are HILARIOUS! Based on a true story.
Status: Outline half written. I've kind of lost interest in this due to a German film already being made based on the same incident, and mocking those German cannibals just won't be the same after that really quite genius episode of The IT Crowd. We'll see how it goes...
CTHULHU
STRIKES BACK (Long Short, possibly even a Feature)
writer/director: James
Raynor
Two friends stumble upon a sinister cult, intent on bringing Cthulhu, an evil multi-tentacled God, back from his ancient slumber to wreak havoc upon the world, with HILARIOUS CONSEQUENCES! Inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft.
Status: Writing the outline.
