Xillix Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 In case anyone's wondering, Lieutenant Lynx in the Third Dimension is going to be the first movie (or at least the first I write) from Total Eclipse Entertainment, and it's absolutely a Star Fox mockbuster. But a live-action, 3D, $30 million mockbuster. That looks and feels like an "enhanced edition" of an old 80s B-movie like Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared Syn or Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like what was that word supposed to mean? it was the "expedite virus" (the MacGuffin) combined with the decade timeskip high school me was weird.

Xillix Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 So... I just spent actual money to buy a scan of the original shooting script for the 2008 version of One Missed Call from before all the post-production nonsense. Mostly to sate my own curiosity since none of the original footage from the director's cut has ever been released, and partly to see if there's anything in there worth using... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xillix Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Partway through the One Missed Call shooting script, found something that didn't make it into the final cut that I might borrow. So far it's pretty similar to the finished film, but the weird visions the curse victims have before they die are a lot creepier and less corny than the final versions. Some of the changes were obviously for censorship when they switched from R to PG-13 in post-production. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta admit though, it has the best fight scene of any movie that's ever been put on screen before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xillix Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) Okay finished the One Missed Call 2008 shooting script. Yeah, probably not going to use anything. Most of the differences are the actual horror/scare scenes, and while those are a LOT better in the script, I'm not recycling any of the same horror scenes by choice because I've got a whole new cast of characters and I don't just wanna plug them into the same situations. The story elements are virtually identical in the shooting script and the finished film. I will say, without spoilers - my single biggest problem with the 2008 version, both in script and screen form, is the ending. It's completely changed. The Japanese movie has one of those real mind-screw, ambiguous endings that are so popular over there, and it takes a few watches and a peek at the sequel for most people to figure out. But the American remake didn't even try to distill it or make it more digestible; it just threw it out and replaced it was a super-corny, dumb-as-nails replacement. In the process, it got rid of the payoff for a lot of the film's thematic subtext and pretty much just completely removed the antagonist's motivation. For my version I'm gonna be leaning really hard into those themes to make up for it. Edited December 7, 2018 by Xillix 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YM! Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 After finals I’ll kick up writing as I’ve naturally been lagging focusing on my studies. I expect Gigantic or Squirrel Girl and Valkyries will be finished first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
