An Update on Future Projects

As many of you have noticed, this week has been particularly rough. Though no matter how many times I made that known, it still didn't stop a few "um, are doing a Snob episode this week or what?" So I might have been a little curt with some responses of "yeah it's been a long week" lol. While I'm certainly not going to divulge on any personal details, we've made it known that everyone's health is good, and now I'm just focusing on continuing on with work. It's been pretty rough to get back into a work mode this week, which is why there was just the Midnight Screenings on Thursday, but updates will resume this coming week, plus a couple more Midnight Screenings as well (the religious movie "Do You Believe" and the re-release of "Rear Window"). Needless to say, I'm finally getting back into work mode, which has certainly kept my mind off of things. A lot of questions have been asked about what's going to happen with a few of our current projects that are either in production, or in development. The finale of "The Reviewers" has been written, and the reason why it hasn't been shot yet is to give Brian plenty of time to recuperate after his appendicitis, plus there's a few scenes that take place outside, that the weather had been not to pleasant in the past couple months. Now that Brian is back on his feet and the weather is fine, we'll resume shooting on The Reviewers. But, half of the episode has to be rewritten. We had plenty of meetings with how to go forward on certain things, and we came to many conclusions. The Jeff character will be written out of the finale, and a new character will be introduced. Ryan will be portraying Oliver, who will be established in the finale as Sarah's character's brother, and also an up and coming internet reviewer, in the vein of the Jeff and Andy characters. Those of you who get the reference of an Oliver replacing a Jeff, you are indeed awesome. "Shot on Shitteo" however has to be completely reshot and rewritten. There's no way to salvage the footage that we have to make a completed film. Too many important scenes weren't filmed, and given the importance of the lead character, it would be impossible to write around it. So, an entirely new plotline will be made, and the footage from the wheel chair segment and the squirrel segment will be reworked as fake trailers to be spliced into the movie. Rest assured, there will be a release for "Shot on Shitteo" this year, and odds are it will be a remake of one of our lost films "Sadistic Bitch." As for the "80's Dan" movie, nothing is being changed in regards to that movie's script. There's not a date set yet for filming, as Shot on Shitteo and The Reviewers have to be completed first, but no re-writing is going to take place. The only difference is that there will now be a different voice for Rob The Robot. We haven't decided on who yet, but that project is far off in the future, and we'll think about that when it gets closer. The Midnight Screenings are of course continuing on as usual. I've given some thoughts about adding another person into the mix, but as it is now, you'll still have all the regular Midnight Screenings reviewers such as myself, Brian, Dave, Sarah, Irving, and a lot more Ryan. Even Jillian might pop back up in them every once in a while. Ryan has been wonderful, not just as a new permanent presence on the Midnight Screenings, but also as my producer and manager, he's been a behind the scenes force that the site has needed for a very long time; and as a friend, he's one of the best I could have. All of my friends have been wonderfully supportive during all of this, and I couldn't ask for a better group of friends, who have been like family for nearly a decade now, and we'll continue to put forth amazing new work for you all to enjoy. Thanks to all of our fans for sticking with us during the past week, and we certainly won't let any of you down.
