"A Cat's Tale" and "Nightmare".

With us not making anywhere close to the funding needed to make Die Reise 3D and Afterlife: Traumatic Possession 3D, we're delaying them until we can make something to license out internationally. Afterlife will not be fully effected by this move, however, the big thing regarding it is that we need a hotel to film at. I can try to rework this angle, but, this is going to be difficult. However, I am announcing two small no-budget films; A Cat's Tale 3D and Nightmare 3D.

I have been throwing around the idea about making a movie about Ali since Christmas. I started writing the script and I have gotten about ten pages so far. Nightmare has been something that I've wanted to do a for a few years now. It was originally called The Lab Rat. It was something that I have had on my mind since 2010 when we first started filming Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape. It's a very intimate horror movie about a nightmare-ish scenario. I am only going to take a week to film it.

Traumatic Possession - The 2017 Rebecca Lange Spin-Off

Something that I have been dwelling on for a while is the idea of doing a sort of reboot to Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape. Even Abby and myself discussed the idea of remaking the Tape whenever the film was released in 2013. I have decided on something... the series will not be rebooted, somewhat, but we will be taking a different route. The first spin off film that will be made will center around Rebecca Lange during the whole Tape incident.

A few things that I have decided on is that Simon Lange will only be in the film via stock footage from the Tape and it's all going to be stitched in delicately. That means that I will be in the film, but, not really. I will not be directing or writing, just drawing up the story and producing. I have messaged Abby regarding the project. Not sure if she's interested, however, I am keeping hope up as she is planning to return in one scene that I wrote for Rebecca Lange in Afterlife: Traumatic Possession 3D. To give a slight spoiler for her scene, it's basically what happens when the camera shuts off at the end of the Tape. Just to give closure to what happened at the end.

I am giving this film a 2017 release date.

Updates on the "Traumatic Possession" Film Series.

Update: 2/25: Added "Rebecca Lange".

Ok, I figured that I haven't given much love to Simon Lange lately with getting Die Reise 3D ready to go. We are going to be doing four trilogies and possibly a few stand alone sequels. Yes, I just said thirteen films! Simon Lange is my Jason Vorhees, Pinhead, Chucky, Jigsaw, and Freddy!

The Ohio Trilogy:

Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape

Afterlife: Traumatic Possession 3D

Retribution: Traumatic Possession 3D

The Hawai'i Trilogy:

Rebirth: Traumatic Possession 3D

Revenge: Traumatic Possession 3D

Traumatic Possession 3D: Salvation

Spin-Off Trilogy:
Traumatic Possession 3D: Rebecca Lange

Traumatic Possession 3D: The Stalker

Untitled TP3D Spin-Off #3

Untitled Trilogy:

Untitled TP3D Film #1

Untitled TP3D Film #2

Untitled TP3D Film #3

Then finally ... Traumatic Possession 3D: Apocalypse!

I can tell you that while I am finishing up Afterlife, most of Rebirth and Revenge have been written. Some notes about The Stalker have been written out as well, all though, it's going to be changed to fit in with the events leading up to Revenge. The "Spin-Off" trilogy is meant to lead into one of the films prior to whichever character we use as a basis. I can tell you that the female lead in Revenge is going to be the lead protagonist in The Stalker and that Simon Lange will have no more than five minutes of screen time and is not a villain in it at all, simply neutral.

I will be writing the script and producing Retribution, but not directing. Once you see Afterlife and understand that Retribution is the end in terms of continuity, I am not going to be in the film at all. With the "Ohio Trilogy", we're starting at 2006 and then jumping to 2018 and then 2019. We have a nice thirteen year gap between The Tape and Afterlife and Retribution. I can tell you that the only other sequels that I am directing are; Rebirth, Revenge, Salvation, and Apocalypse. I am not ruling out that I may direct this "Untitled Trilogy", but, only if I feel that I can do it on my own terms.

Die Reise 3D - IndieGoGo and Die Reise 3D Sequel.

The above is a mock poster created the other night. This is sort of what the final look will be, but, not me at the beach. We're going to have the cast and crew start pushing the IndieGoGo. One thing that is in the works is the Orlando Eastwood Box Set. This DVD-R set will be a combination of Single Layer 4.35GB and Dual Layer 8GB discs. The DVD-R DL discs will mainly be for the 2D versions that will be in 2.35:1 and 1.33:1 versions. The DVD-R discs will have just the 3D Red/Blue version in 2.35:1. I was thinking of this being a ten disc set, but, it could be twelve disc set if we can cut some deals.

Nothing is finalized yet, but, I can say that it is looking like the set will have:

Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape - Director's Cut

Into the Madness: A Documentary

Untitled Orlando Eastwood 3D Documentary

Die Reise 3D

Afterlife: Traumatic Possession 3D

Goal for this release date is December 2015. There will only be ten copies of this set made. If any of these boxes don't sell, they will probably sell for $150 more. These DVD-R sets will be different from the planned Bootleg Edition of Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape which will include Into the Madness. I can tell you that Into the Madness will be one disc, which will leave the tenth disc open for something.

Finally, Die Reise 3D might have a sequel. I do not believe that anyone from the original would return. The film will not be in German, since the story takes place in Mexico, the film would be in Spanish. The only way that I will be involved with Die Reise 3D - Teil 2 is by producing it. My ideal director for the film is someone who spoke Spanish as a first language. Then, I feel that we will have a possible story hatched for the film. Then, who knows, maybe a third film would happen.

Posters ... Cry Baby Did Not Get His Posters!

So, since I finished off the script for Die Reise 3D and decided to go pay some bills, we went to my local Drug Mart shop down the road from my place. I love going in there as they still rent out DVDs and Blu-rays. One of the biggest things that draws me to the store is that they have movie posters that they sell. Until now, they used to hold them for you and I have a good 100+ video store posters. To most collectors out there, video store posters have no real collecting value. But, they are worth the $2 + plus tax that I pay for them.

So, these last few months, a guy has been in competition with me on reserving these posters. I was told from some of the workers that its a guy who is supposedly remodeling his home theater or something like that. So, whenever they changed the posters out, this guy was beating me to the punch on them. And sometimes, depending on who is working back in the video and make up department, might not remember to put the posters on hold. And back around November or so, I had posters on hold for Amazing Spider-Man 2 and X-Men: Days of Future Past. While, X-Men was still up on the wall, I noticed that they forgot to hold ASM2 and I had noticed it in the bin. While at the same time, there was two other posters that I was wanting that this guy beat me too; Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Godzilla.

Now, I have had it happen where I might reserve a poster and I either get beaten to it or they forgot to hold it and someone bought it. If that happens, it's not the end of the world. If it's a poster that I really want, I'll hunt down an original theatrical poster on eBay. The Godzilla poster was something that I was hunting down frantically on eBay for this video store poster and was having no real luck finding it. So, when I saw it in that bin, I was in seventh heaven. My fiancee knew that I was going batty over this poster. When I saw it in that bin, I grabbed it so fast.

So, cut to the end of November around Thanksgiving. We go in to see that the X-Men poster was down. The girl who was working the cash register explained to me the situation regarding the poster. Apparently he threw a violent fit in the store that they weren't holding the posters for him and so the cashier handed over the poster to him because they were horrified by his behavior.

I had knew about this for a good two months now and didn't feel a real need to discuss this, until now. Yesterday we went to go pay some bills and see if there was any new posters. I didn't have any on hold and saw that they had Dawn of the Planet of the Apes on up on the wall. So, I go to the counter and ask the girl and she informs me that; "Due to some changes in policy, we won't hold the posters any more. First come, first serve."

Good! Because BABY BOY cried and threw a temper tantrum in the store, he ruined it for all of us and on top it, himself. I am going to be constantly checking for that Guardians of the Galaxy poster that is up there. He wanted to make his point and cause stress upon this great establishment, my turn. I love renting movies and buying posters from Drug Mart. Good day!

P.S:

The Godzilla video store poster on my wall looks great in a frame!

Announcing the Cast of "Die Reise 3D".

Today is February 1st, 2015; I am wrapping up the final pages of Die Reise 3D before sending them off to my co-writer Christin Seufert to translate all of the dialogue into German. Contracts have been sent out and I have been given the good graces by the cast to announce their names while they wait on their scripts. We launched the IndieGoGo today and we are excited and hope to meet our deadline of $8,000.

Brian Banowetz:

Paul

Brian Banowetz is a professional actor who took interest in my work around 2010 while Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape was being made. His IMDB resume is quite impressive with being in such films as Gen-X Cops: Metal Mayhem, Copycat, and a role on the television show Matlock. In the past few weeks, whilst working on getting everything done with Afterlife: Traumatic Possession 3D, we discussed possibly working on a role for Brian. I felt more confident in giving him the lead antagonist role in Die Reise 3D.  In regards to the Traumatic Possession films, I feel that Brian would be more suitable for the role of a detective who is in Traumatic Possession 3D: Hawai'i - Vol. II. But, that film still has a long ways before it will start rolling.

Janet Jay:

Gabrielle

Janet Jay is a great indie actress who resides here in the state of Ohio. I had first saw Janet earlier this year in the film Easter Casket and thought that she has great potential. Gabrielle is the overall catalyst in the film. Role is not that long, but, she will leave a lasting impact throughout.

Christina Ramey:

Mallory

Christina Ramey is an up and coming actress who I have had the honor of being a friend for almost five years. She has done one movie in the past called Why My Grandfather Went to Hell. Right now, that film does not have an IMDB, which means she doesn't have a page yet, but I will have her listed in the cast credits real soon. Ms. Ramey will be playing Mallory. She is the secondary antagonist in the film and will be hunting Lukas down in Mexico.

Orlando Eastwood:

Lukas

Orlando Eastwood will be playing the protagonist, Lukas. Lukas will be hiding out in Mexico throughout the whole movie. We follow him on this 3D journey.

Filming is slated for mid-April with a DVD-R release planned for September 2015. Internet VOD will released a month after post-production is completed. Possibly around late June to beginning of July where you can rent the film. VHS copies will be ready December as I have to make 200 tapes to send out. VHS tapes will be in 1.33:1 and will be open matted and cropped at the same time.
