I've been rather a rather busy Glenn...

Right, this past week has been rather busy, where do I start? Well, I went up to London with Suzi Peet and saw some of the stars at the Inception World Premiere... it was awesome! I got Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page and Tom Hardy's autographs, Suz and I got a picture taken with Tom Hardy, and we each got to take home a giant Inception poster from the barriers. I'm looking forward to seeing the film on it's opening day (16th July).

Other than that I have been rather busy working on some new projects, so here they are...

I was challenged a few weeks ago to write a film with a romantic plot or sub-plot in it... but I will say this much now, it will NOT be a "rom-com". The romantic element is only a sub-plot, it is primarily an action film that works as a short prequel to Nameless, showing a young man's (not the protagonist in the film) journey as he signs on to become a soldier in the time that the regime has come to power, a choice which forces him to leave behind everything and everyone he knows and loves. So far I have a bullet point draft of this story and will begin writing the script (which shouldn't be much longer than my script for Vengeful Retribution) shortly.

The second project is something that I feel is a return to my roots (anyone who knew me from primary school or before I picked up a video camera will probably be able to guess what that means). Originally the story for Corrupted was supposed to be somewhat longer, with the short film which I recently made and submitted to Virgin Media Shorts working as both a short film in its own right, or the opening 2 minutes of a much larger film. However, the story I would love to tell is quite hard for me to make as a film with no budget to hire in people to work on certain effects or to help achieve certain stunts.
So I have decided to continue telling the story, but it won't be done as a film. I am still keeping this project close to my chest for now.
Lee Carter said yesterday he would be up for reprising his role as the detective, James Abbot.

My friend, Stefan Cato, and I have also talked about a collaboration, he wanted to write a screenplay, and I have agreed to take his screenplay and make it into a film when he does, so I look forward to seeing what comes of this and reading the script when he writes it.

Lee's Blog!

Well, I have mentioned the talented individual that is Lee Carter (who did the soundtracks for and acted in my past films) many times in my previous blogs, and I just thought I'd do a quick shoutout to let you know that he has finally decided to set up his own blog!

You can see the link to his blog under the followers section on this page or you can just follow this link that I've posted here:

Anyway, check it out, he's only posted one entry so far, but it is a good read and I'm sure the future entries will be just as interesting.
