Henry Rollins at a casting call.

Vodstok 03-23-2005 04:35 AM

Holy shit... john gulagan is a bitch....

Not only is he completely incapable of conveying a simple idea, but he apparently got involved to try and give his freinds and family their big break....

He will be terrible and i really do hope they fire him.

newb 03-23-2005 04:42 AM

I actually like his father Clu,[ Into the Night, Hunters Blood,Return of the Living Dead ] and it looks like he WILL be in this according to IMDB, as well as Henry Rollins and Jason Mewes.

ENTITY2000 03-23-2005 05:37 AM

i think they picked the wrong director i would have went w/ the first guy adams i think? anyway this is going to be very interesting! gulager can't seem to take control of the situation
he has no leadership abilities at all. i think it is gonna flop. i'm gonna keep watching maybe he'll proveme wrong. god i hope so.:D

I love Rollins, he is a pretty kool guy. He was at a book store one time doing poetry readings. Its kind of funny to see a guy like him reading poetry, not that there is anything wrong with it, it is just that people see him in a stereotypical way if you get my meaning.

I knew I knew Gulagers father from somewhere. I wonder if that has anything to do with the reason why they picked John.

I wouldnt sell out Gulager just yet I think that he needs a little time to sort things out and get himself into the groove. It is his first feature film, and besides that it seems to me that he has lived his life, or most of it anyways, as somewhat of a hermit, and doesnt communicate well with people that he is not familiar with.

I am sort of like that, I am quiet until I know ya and then I only say something when I think it is important. I really dont see the point in useless babble just to fill the air with conversation.

I felt like the casting director was a total bitch, and didnt take criticism well. ALso I think that the producers are a little on the whinny side. WHo the fook do they think they are working with,Scorcese???? Give the poor slob, half of shirt hanging out, a break already.

I am sure that every director started out this way and everybody thought that working with him or her was a big pain in the ass.

I thought that trying to cast the whole family in the film was a bit over the top and they need to reign in that shit right now.

I also think that this script sucks, and can only imagine what other shit they recieved if this is the best of the best that was handed to them. Sorry this script sounds like Tremors in a way, maybe I am wrong we will see.

These 2 writers are alreadly getting agents and meeting with lawyers and such, I think they are in for a rude awakening.

All and all, I think what I have always thought about people in the movie business, they are a bunch of money hungry assheads and dont give 2 shits about making a quality picture just about making money.

Vodstok 03-23-2005 08:11 AM

I agree, the script sounds like shit, but gulager has already shown himself to be comkpletely selfish. He wasnt even interested in hearing anyone else's opinion on actors, he just wanted his freinds and that was that.

If i was the casting director, i would have told him to be flexible, or we would take the decision making away from him completely. he ISNT scorcese, he doesnt have the clout to make the final decisions on everything.

He is pissing away an opportunity, and based on what he is showing on tv, he is probably killing any chance he would have to direct for someone else. Why would any company hire a nobody with a reputation for being a pain in the ass who waffles when asked a question?

newb 03-23-2005 08:20 AM

Granted....so far he looks like a big doofus and a wee bit on the eccentric side. But he wouldn't be the first director to fit into that catergory.
But like you say...this is his first opportunity and it doesn't thus far look to good.

newb 03-29-2005 08:51 AM

Just a little BUMP to remind those who are watching this. Tonight at 8.

newb 03-31-2005 11:00 AM

After watching this show I don't know why anybody would want to get involved in the movie making process.
The studio wants a good movie but their not willing to fund it . The producers have to go to outside sources to get the $$$.
At least the director is coming around a bit which is good because I think if they let him do the movie he wants it could be very good. Keep it dark instead of going with a horrody or comedorror......???!!whatever.

i agree, i haven't really seen a good comedy/horror
neways i think it also should be dark that's the only
way any horror should be displayed.:)

meetthecreeper 03-31-2005 12:48 PM

John seems to be coming out of his shell a little and speaking up so that is a good thing.

I think Dimension has pretty much cast the film and isnt going to let John pick who he wants to be in it, although I think his wife would make a good Tuffy.

I suspect to look for more of the same, 'we want name recognition over someone with substance' type thing in the coming weeks ahead.

John is the director, everyone should be guiding him and following his direction, I would think thats why they call him the director.

I still say that the casting director is a typical Hollywood bitch, and above criticism.

Hopefully a little more interesting things to come next week as this last week wasnt very good as far as things go IMO.

newb 03-31-2005 12:55 PM

I won't say here because it would be a bit of a spoiler for those who want to follow this as it happens week by week, but if you go to the link I supplied in another post, it tells you who has been casted.

Although it looks like just a handful of us are watching it. By the way....where the hell has Vod been.

NirvanaNole 04-02-2005 09:56 PM

I think the casting director is doing a good job. She has NO POWER to cast the movie. She is there on behalf of Dimension/Project Greenlight to help out the movie. The series will be over if this movie bombs. The director is completely out of line. The fucker doesn't even know what nepotism means. And comparing himself to guys like Woody Allen is a joke. The guy films weddings and thinks he should have the power proven Hollywood directors have. What planet does he live on? Oh yeah, he lives on the planet where a 37-year old guy still has his dad pay his bills. :rolleyes:

The fat writer with a goatee is a complete douche bag. The other writer isn't too bad, but I hope they never sell another script in their lives.

I must be the only one that doesn't hate Affleck and Damon. Some people on this site hate them out of jealousy. They are two rich, good looking guys that fuck a ton of hot chicks. GET OVER IT! I find it funny that people on this site think Affleck can't act but think Bruce Campbell is a God. Bruce is one of the worst actors in the history of the world. Affleck may suck at acting, but most horror actors that get props on this site suck even MORE than Affleck.

From everything I've read on the two, Affleck is the smarter one of the two and the better writer, while Damon is the much better actor. They both deserve props for standing up to Dimension as much as they could, because Dimension had the final say on the matter.

I love the show. I'll watch every episode. I hope they fire the director and hire a real director. That fucker should be thrown out by the balls for wanting those idiots he wanted to cast. His Goddaughter might be the WORST "actress" I've ever seen. His GF of 20 years is a decent actress but is nothing to look at. EVERY "horror movie" produced by a film company these days has hot women in the leading female role. If he doesn't comprehend that fact, he should take his ass back to filming weddings and give the chance to someone that is willing to play within Hollywood's rules.

The director acts like he is fucking Spielberg. At least the writers, as big of jackasses as they are, realize their place and are willing to work hard under those rules. Even Craven is at the will of a major studio when big bucks are on the line, and he is one of the top five horror directors of all time.

The director is a fucking moron and, for the future of Project Greenlight, I hope they fire him.

I saw the first show this season, and I've managed to miss every other one.

Looks like I need to get on the ball with this.

The second episode is currently on Bravo. I think they are playing all of them tonight.

newb 04-07-2005 08:30 AM

Almost a two page BUMP


Its on tonight at 10.

meetthecreeper 04-08-2005 05:56 AM

That fookin bitch casting director goes behind the director and producers back to get her friend cast in the part of heroine.

And she accuse Gulager of Nepotism.

Ava or whatever the fook her name is, I cant even remember because her performance wasnt worth staying awake for, SUCKED!!!!!!

If this wasnt Project Greenlight she would be selling on the Strip right now cause the producers and director would have had her ass fired.

"I wouldnt have pushed for her if I didnt believe in her," what a crock of shit, she and whatshername are good friends, figures BITCH.

THe creatures looked kind of kool but without a strong cast especially the hero, whoever it is, this film is going to go straight to video.

This is why I hate major production studios being involved with anything. ' Oh we want to get behind her because she is so HHHOOTTT' yea well I got one word for a film like that BARBWIRE, what a piece of cinematic crap.

That was some shaddy shit, but it wasn't nepotism. If I was one of the producers, I would have tried to get Craven to look at her audition and tell Dimension that she sucks. They just want her because she is hot and on the OC or some other dumb show. Navi is hot as hell, but she fucking sucked in those two auditions.

I thought the creature looked pretty cool. The fake dick had me laughing my ass off.

I wonder who they'll get as hero. I hope it isn't Marky Mark, I hate that fucker.

newb 04-10-2005 01:29 PM

If I wasn't a gentleman I would call that casting director a c**t. How about twat....is that as offensive?From the previews for next week, it looks like the director has a complete meltdown.I hope not.....I still have hope that he's gonna make a good movie.

I bet it is a B movie and I bet John is a complete failure in the future. That guy has no people skills and his "talent" shouldn't have him in this position.

AUSTIN316426808 04-14-2005 06:52 AM

I saw the commercial for the next episode where John says he's uncomfortable with any kind of human interaction.

Maybe it's just me but it doesn't make much sense to pursue a career in which everyday for the duration of production you have to tell everybody what to do,how,when and why to do it if you aren't comfortable with human interaction.

AUSTIN316426808 04-14-2005 06:54 AM

I noticed when discussing the lead they were considering Sean Penn and Ben Affleck, aren't they in the 10-20 million range?

newb 04-14-2005 08:13 AM

Tonight's show should be pretty interesting. Filming starts on the movie and the director looks like he loses it.

Well i'm starting to lose hope in the director. He just does not know how to communicate with people.

AUSTIN316426808 04-15-2005 05:44 AM

I missed it last night, gotta wait till Sunday for the rerun.

meetthecreeper 04-15-2005 10:32 AM

Its kind of hard to give people a vision of what you want when people tell you that everytime you want to change something they start bitchin.

John wants to change how something is shot, everybody is whining.

The actors and or actresses had to sit around for 9 hours before they had something to do, aaawwww poor babies, go cry in your fookin trailer. Ridiculous how spoiled these people are, they are sitting around doing nothing, they have to play pretend for 5 mins in front of the camera, and all the while getting paid for it and quite well I might add.

I wish I got paid for sitting around doing nothing.

Note to hollywood celebs, shut the fook up, the rest of the world only wishes that they had half as good as you.

It seems to me that John has very little control and the rest of the Dimension crew that is supposed to be managing the set and time has their heads up their asses.

They were given a ridiculous timeline, a shitty script, and some actors and actresses with an attitude, if I were John I would get frustrated too.

No actually I would go fookin post office on these people, they are supposed to be having fun.

The producers made some comments that John is doing a great job, its everyone else and their elitist attitudes.



IMO of course.

newb 04-15-2005 10:57 AM

I agree with you 100% creeper. The funny thing is in another thread you said you hated nepotism.I also agree with that except in this case....if John was able to bring in his people, I think things would be going a bit smoother.

Its going to get pretty interesting, I think.

You know here is the thing about 'nepotism' I dont have a problem with it persay, as long as the individuals that are brought in are qualified to do the job that is required of them.

John did get to bring in his wife and father so he got something he wanted but if this is how the film making industry really is, then I will stick with Indie films.

Always a stab at the celebrities. Yeah, they suck. I used to think that we should have another "French Revolution" using celebs (yeah it's a sick idea), but now I think we should storm Hollywood, take their money, cars, clothes, houses, et cetera cage them all, then make them work customer service for the rest of their lives.

what's wrong with them not wanting to sit around? I thought they'd be spoiled if they wanted to just sit around and be paid for it, it's not being spoiled if you wanna work and not sit around.

Are you fucking 12? That is one of the dumbest posts I've ever read on the Internet. You act like you can change a shot in a matter of minutes. There is a reason most Hollywood movies take months to film an hour and a half movie.

You act like any of those actors are getting paid a ton of money. The entire film's budget is $3 million. If you think any of them are retiring on what they get paid for Feast, you're a fucking moron.

Thats the dumbest post you ever read? you must not come here enough. Honestly, I can't believe your sticking up for those Hollywood Big wigs. Fuck them.

I have too agree with that guy alittle... Actors get paid good money (even the poor ones... if they find work) . There all jealous of John and he is doing a good job, I'm hoping he'll show all those ass faces up.

I think hollywood actors are stuck up little bitches and need to shut the fuck up.. I mean, there getting fucking paid for doing nothing. Sign me up! You don't see Henry Rollins bitching.

The only person I felt bad for was Jason Mewes.

No actually I am 35. How long have you been on the internet? a few hours?

I didnt say that you could change the shot in a matter of minutes, I said John want to change things and everybody whines.

I dont care if they are getting paid in peanuts, they are still getting paid to stand around and do nothing.

Most of us BUST OUR ASSES for pennies of what actors make.

I think most celebs are ungrateful egomaniacs.

No I dont think they are going to retire off of what they make from this film, and judging by the performances maybe they should grow up and stop playing pretend for a living.

As for the personal attack of me being a moron, good thing for you the internet is anonymous.

Are you related to that bitch who is the casting director by the way??

Either A. you work in the entertainment industry or B. you are a civil servant.

Everyone has an opinion and fuck you if you dont like mine.

I just felt it was uncalled for.

movieman64 04-19-2005 07:55 AM

Not only are the actors in "Feast" being compensated to ,"sit around" they are recieving exsposure by being in the film, as well as on the televison show.

I think communication between Gullagher and the DP needs to dramitically improve, for things to go more smoothly. I still dislike the writers. They on one hand say that once it is in the hand of the Director, it is his vision, then they turn around and bitch about a scene(s) being changed/removed from the screenplay.
