Pinching Myself
 
I This is waaaaaay premature, but the Giallo (called... YELLOW) that my partner and I wrote is in the hands of another genre giant.

Keep your fingers crossed for us!!!:D

We're hoping to announce both films at AFM this week.

How did you know?

AUSTIN316426808 10-30-2007 02:21 PM

What happened with the Carpenter project?

Roderick Usher 10-30-2007 02:40 PM

still chugging along - we should be making a formal announcement in the trades soon. I'll certainly let you all know.

I'm waiting on a contract as I write this...everything has to be locked down by midnight tomorrow when the WGA strike kicks in. Lots of pressure on the entertainment lawyers out here to get shit done fast.

Roderick Usher 10-31-2007 07:49 AM

Coolest Halloween ever!

GorePhobia 10-31-2007 08:56 AM

That's so awesome Sean. I really wish you good luck. Don't forget about us when your making some money and all big time!

LOL

Angra 11-03-2007 08:57 AM

Hooper?

GorePhobia 11-03-2007 10:44 AM

I can't wait to hear all this news!

Roderick Usher 11-06-2007 11:10 AM

He agreed today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

I'll post the info when the ink dries.

GorePhobia 11-06-2007 11:42 AM

Hell effin yeah man!

This is fucking unbelieveable.

Congrats man.

He hasn't signed yet. It's just a verbal agreement - deal points need to be hammered out. I'll let you know when it's really happening.

But either way I've had two horror icons not only say they like my writing, but want to direct the scripts I've written. It is a tremendously validating experience.

Now if I could just get paid before I default on a loan:eek:

Roderick Usher 11-09-2007 02:27 PM

Contracts are being drawn up as I type this. We have several people cast already and a tentative start date set.

I've never seen anything move this fast before. It's all quite dizzying.

Filming in Milan in February!!!!!!!!!

Anyone we would recognize? Not asking for names, just wondering if anyone is somewhat well-known.

GorePhobia 11-13-2007 03:42 PM

This is amazing and we heard it first on Gore's Movie Madness

Roderick Usher 11-13-2007 04:56 PM

The casting is going amazingly!!!!

Despare 11-13-2007 05:07 PM

Congrats, but shouldn't you be on strike? ;)

I am. I signed the deals with the producers well before the strike deadline. They are free to shop the material around to whomever they choose, I simply will not be available for rewrites (if any are needed) until the strike is over.

But Argento can rewrite us if he likes. He isn't bound by the WGA and has nothing to fear from them.

I certainly wouldn't mind sharing a writing credit with him!

All I'm working on these days are comic books. I've written 3 22 page installments of what will be a 7 book arc that can later be assembled as a single graphic novel.

GorePhobia 11-14-2007 02:11 AM

So when could we possibly start finding out who is getting cast in these flicks!?

Roderick Usher 11-14-2007 05:38 AM

Soon

Very soon

If all goes well I'll be 1 degree of separation from Scorsese!

Dario Argento Back to Giallo in Yellow?
Source: ShockTillYouDrop.com
November 14, 2007


Early rumblings of Dario Argento's next project have floated our way.

An insider tells us the Mother of Tears director may take a crack at a "loving homage" to the giallo films of the '60s and '70s entitled Yellow - an apropos moniker since giallo means "yellow" in Italian and was a popular term used to describe mystery and crime pulp fare.

Argento's Tenebrae, Bird with the Crystal Plummage and Deep Red are all classic and rich with the red stuff examples of gialli.

Hannibal Films' Richard Rionda Del Castro and Rafael Primorac are championing the Yellow script by writers Sean Keller and Jim Agnew. Tuck this under your hat as rumor at this point and keep it here for the latest while we aim to carve up some confirmation.

This is so unbelieveably awesome dude.

I am like freaking out over here because this is back-to-back scripts to amazing directors. I am so excited to watch this all come to life.

Just a little something I made after our phone conversation with the Maestro

We'll have to change the title...I'm open to suggestions. Not the old-school "way too many words: title...selling this to foreign territories means a simple, concise title

Maybe something about a Hunter?

Doc Faustus 11-17-2007 01:48 PM

That is so goddamn amazing. I'm pretty good with titles. Can you show me the link to your plot summary again? I've always thought Sharp Enough would be a good title for a giallo.
