Watching the world burn...

Well, I didn't post a blog last night, but I have good reason, & that reason is RAMMSTEIN! I saw them at Wembley Arena... it was one of the most incredible shows I have ever seen.

On the train journey beforehand, me & Lee were discussing Nameless, I filled him in on some of the key plot events & twists & turns of the story, and in return Lee told me about his ideas for another song called Bi-polar for the soundtrack.

Bi-polar seems to be living up to its name, Lee said that the feel of the music will range between soft acoustic stuff to more 'thrashy' riffs.

I have also started thinking of possible locations to film in, and I'll tell you this now, there will be none of the suburban feel that came through in parts of Vengeful Retribution, this film is its own monster, and the feel of the whole thing will be much bigger & much nastier.

I have almost recycled some ideas from an earlier script I wrote when I was about 15, which had the working title of Dark City (obviously the actual film Dark City did come out, so I wouldn't have used that name anyway). At the time I was young, & like most kids, did not understand limits & what was humanly possible to do on film. When you're a kid you feel like you could conquer the world if you wanted. I just wanted to write a huge action story! However, coming back to it with an older, more mature mind I have realised that even though some of the stuff that I wanted in Dark City was impossible, some of the shots I wanted in that film were so striking and some of the themes in there were powerful. So although the characters, setting and overall story for Nameless is completely different, those who read my script for Dark City will notice moments which are almost plucked out of that film.
