Work

So I guess I should get down to some business. As I said in 'Pilot', when I finish education I want to write, direct and act in films.
I'm writing a book at the moment called 'Dead House', which I want to eventually make into a film. It's a supernatural horror. Basically a group of people go to this place called Withersight Manor on a photography assignment and it all goes wrong because the guy who owned the house went crazy and made a deal with a demon called Dantalian. I don't know whether that's gonna be the final name but it's what he's called at the moment.



This is a character known only as 'Legless'. She's one of the numerous 'bad guys', and I basically already had drawn her loads of times in various ways before I even considered putting her in the story. She's the cause of one of the most tense bits.

So anyway, that's what I'm working on right now. I have a first draft completed, I'm now working on a second draft because I changed a huge part of it.
I have a load of versions with various openings and different reasons for them being at the house and all that, but when I speak of drafts, I mean for the final cut as it were as far as plot and characters are concerned.

I'm writing the script as well but I wanna get the story finished ASAP because it'll help me plan camera angles if I can look at it in story form as I go. So yeah, I'll keep updating so if you're interested, keep checking in.

The original characters were specifically written for certain people but as far as the film is concerned, I have some ideas of who I want cast. I want to play Danny. It's not a vanity thing. The whole reason I started working on this in 2005/06, which was originally entitled Twisted Toys, was because I was on a forum and one of the threads was 'If you were in a movie, what would it be about and who would be in it with you?'.
So originally, I wrote it so that it was me, my sis Kim, my best friend Hope, Slipknot and Wednesday 13. In fact, at the very, very beginning, I even had Marilyn Manson and some others, but then I cut it down to thirteen and now I have it at ten.

Now, the only ones I know that I want cast is my friend Hope who's character is called Hope. Like I said, I want to play Danny. And if I could I wanna get Corey Taylor to play Cody (who's the character I wrote for him) and Wednesday 13 to play Joe (again, the character I wrote for him).
As for the other's, I really want Jensen Ackles to play CJ and the guy who played Otis in Devil's Rejects to play Sean. That's all I know as far as cast.

I know it's a pretty unrealistic plan since I doubt I'd ever get any of them in my movie, but hey, there's no harm in dreamin XD.
