Ok I guess I should answer a few of these things...
AND FOR YOUR OWN SAKE MAN, DON'T LET IT BE LIKE "Redneck zombies"!
No, I couldn't live with myself if I released something that horrible.
But for everyone's sake, make it partly comedy.
It already is, the genre would definitely be horror/comedy. I don't think I'm capable of writing something very serious.
What kind of budget are we talkin' here?
how many thousand monetary units we talkin about heya?
$50,000 is the goal. There's gonna be a LOT of zombies in the movie and I want them to look good, rather than using the 99-cent fx kits you can buy from a closeout bin. There's also going to be a lot of props, and several different shooting locations. 50k is the minimum I'd like to have before pre-production. In the meantime I plan on just doing rewrites on the script itself.
They're already making an RE sequel, Rog.
Speaking of sequels, this zombie film movie I wanna make is already lined up for the perfect sequel. So if the first one goes well, filming a 2nd one will be a cinch.
Me and wreck were going to make a zombie movie
Well you guys can be in this one if I can get it off the ground.
And there's always this, but unless you live in Orange County, you're dead out of luck.
Lemme check... hrm, no damnit, I don't.
I might try the classified ad thing sometime, though (as with everything) I remain skeptical.
And do you expect to turn a profit?
If it's promoted properly (much of which I could handle since I know webmasters on lots of the biggest sites on the web), absolutely. At the very least, I would expect nothing less than breaking even on this one.
The best question on this thread. If you desperately need it, contact me, I can send you a bit of cash, only under the pretense that I can be a mindless zombie near the centre of the camera shot.
Ok, have 50k on you? haha, once the full 50k is raised I'd probably try to raise some extra funds on I-Mockery for the movie via donations. Could help for stuff like props, food, permits, and bail bonds.
