Status Update: News on the Teaser, Casting, and a Website Plug.

Hey there.

Here's the latest news on the series:

--Teaser: Big news here. I got in touch with one of my online friends and he's totally on board to help with the most important part of the teaser trailer: the special effects. Thanks David for the help, especially considering he's busy putting together his latest project, which I can't wait to see. Still awaiting getting some pickup shots from Adam and hopefully I can get some outside footage done. But due to all of this, I'm going to delay releasing the teaser until April, but at least now things are moving along.

--Casting: Got in contact with my friend Lance, who I hadn't heard from in a while. When I originally came up with the film version of MOTW, he was up for one of the roles. But since I last talked with him, the status of the film had changed to a mini-series. When I talked with him a few days ago, I brought him up to speed on what had happened and was curious to know if he was still up for playing the part, which has radically changed from what I had originally planned. His response was yes. So now that makes two roles cast for the series. There's still one more person who was up for playing a key role in the original movie concept who, like Lance, I hadn't heard from in a while. Hopefully, I'll hear from him soon and see if he's still up for the part.

--Shameless Plug: While I was checking out my usual sites, I clicked on a link to another site and got a pleasant surprise: MOTW was mentioned in another site. Werewolf Movies.com, a site devoted to movies and TV shows on werewolves, added us to the list of upcoming projects in their March 18th update. You can click here for the page they've created just for the series. I also want to thank Noel, the webmaster for Werewolf Movies. com for the mention and the plug. I guess this means there's no going back now.

That's it for now. Good news all around and the buzz, albeit small, continues to build. Hopefully things will continue on this positive track. I'll have an update on the all important teaser trailer next time.

MOTW Status Update

Here's the latest on the MOTW mini-series.

-- I've got another friend signed up to help out with the project. My online friend Matt is expecting to help with anything, either behind the scenes or in front, or both. Thanks bud!!

-- Adam just sent out the next piece to the teaser trailer, the dialogue for the two-minute or so teaser. Still got a ways to go though before it's ready. Adam's going to do some pick up shots this week. I hope to add some extra footage this week as well. But the essential piece to the teaser: adding some special effects is up in the air. I've got a few leads, so we'll see if they play out for the teaser. If not, I have a back up plan in mind. But I really hope it doesn't come to that, cause I really want to use the special effects.

-- We're looking at two possible windows to shoot the first episode: either the last week of July or the last week of September. It could be one or the other, or it could be both. If both of those periods work out, then we can start on the other episodes of the series.

-- And lastly, sometime in the next week or two, I should be completing work on the next draft of the first episode. I've got some ideas on what I want to do, even have a title in mind. So once I get some free time set aside, I'll get around to finishing it up.

That's it for now. I'll have another update soon.
