As I was going through some stuff on my computer, I decided to hit up my blog. To my horror, there hasn't been a post almost half a year. I officially launched Orlando Eastwood Films. It was a proud moment in my life. On top of launching the studio, we licensed out our first feature film, Toaster. The Amazon DVD-R release as well as Amazon Instant streaming will be up and ready around the late Summer. Probably around the Mid-September.
July through September is also going to be a crazy few months. We're going to be shooting the first of many sequels to Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape. While Afterlife: Traumatic Possession 3D is on hold until we get American Nightmare 3D finished, we're going to make the first film in the "Alternate Universe" trilogy which is Simon Lange Reborn 3D. I'm leaving the term "cannon" up to the viewers as it's possible to see everything as connected as opposed to it being "Alternate Universe". Simon wakes up magically after being murdered and wakes up to find himself caught up in a mass legion of the dead. That's right, Simon Lange is fighting zombies! And he's not happy one bit about his situation as he ponders how he came to be reanimated himself.
In my personal life, it's been hectic. I quit my day job after working there for almost six years. I am working at a specialty store that caters to restaurants. It's different but, it gets the bills paid. I got to spend money to make money and I got to work like the dog that I am to make that money.
I have had a lot on my mind lately too, like moving my ass back to Hawai'i. I got my fiancee interested in moving there which was a hard task. We have been looking at real estate listings around the islands. It looks like we might move to the Big Island. Even though I was sick as a dog back then when I lived there, I did love living in Hilo. But, the studio will need to take off and fast so we can move there. Hopefully in another year or two.
And I am dying over here on my end for Godzilla Resurgence "シン・ゴジラ" to come out here in the States so I can see it. I have been watching the above trailer like a million times since it came out in April. I have my own theories on the film and I am excited to see how it plays out. I personally believe that Godzilla is not the only monster in the film. The supposed synopsis came out on Sci-Fi Japan which is a site I take no credibility too states that this film is going to the first time that Japan has seen Godzilla in this timeline. I call "Bullshit" to that. The rumors spreading is that he's supposedly the original Godzilla from 1954, much like the 2014 American film, and to give spoilers to a 62 year old film; he died. I can buy that he's the original Godzilla, he looks mean as shit like the original.
I also believe that this is not the only Godzilla in the film. It's still something that we haven't really seen with the exception of the dynamic that Godzilla has had with Minilla / Baby Godzilla in prior films. Toy sell sheets posted by August Ragone has two mystery toys listed as "Godzilla 2016: Monster A/B". As seen in the Parco ad above for Godzilla Resurgence, Godzilla is growing. At the ten second mark, look under the street lamp in dust; he has noticeably the classic large dorsal fins on his tail as opposed to the little nubs on his tails as we've seen in the trailer. So, "Monster A" could be Godzilla regenerating as he has been rumored to be.
And "Monster B" is another Godzilla. Again, going back to the Parco ad, it looks like there's another monster in the spot where the Parco Panda is standing. That looks like he's in a stance. Even in the trailer, he is roaring as if he's antagonized by something in the first shot of him roaring. But, we notice as the military is trying to kill him with tanks and helicopters is that it's not doing shit to him. We see the shot him look like he's about to say; "Really?"
I also have a studio announcement coming up for 4th of July which I am excited about. It's something that I have been wanting to do for a while. So, keep your eyes open for when we get to announce it.
