Attrition interview featured on latest MVP Mutant Radio.

Martin Bowes of Attrition featured on latest MVP Mutant Radio.

Who knew that when we planned to do one episode of MVP Mutant Radio a month that we would come closer to doing one or two episodes a week? Well here we are, it’s Friday and we have another edition of MVP Mutant Radio to share.

In honor of the upcoming premiere of G.H.O.S.T. at ConCarolinas in June – we’ve decided to reach back into the archives to share an interview with composer Martin Bowes of Attrition. Geo had the opportunity to interview Martin last year just prior to his beginning work on the original score for G.H.O.S.T. Check it out to hear what he had to say and then come see G.H.O.S.T. to hear his hypnotic score! For more information on Attrition please visit www.attrition.co.uk.

Ridley Scott with MVP’s Inspirational Filmmaking Quote of the Week.

Ridley Scott is bringing Prometheus to you this summer.

People say I pay too much attention to the look of a movie but for God’s sake, I’m not producing a Radio 4 Play for Today, I’m making a movie that people are going to look at.

~~Ridley Scott

Johnny Brento’s JuJu – The Avengers Assemble

Special makeup FX illusionist Todd A. Britt reveals latest sculpt for the Metatron Files.

Firstly, my dear Mutants, there’s no video this week. I actually created one but in the excitement of a new contract I just landed which will take me back to my beloved world of Financial Institution IT, the drive holding it got left at home. Not one to disappoint I wanted to forge ahead with a quick article update. I hope that’s ok, my friends. Even Johnny Brento has to succumb to good ole “Real Life” sometimes.

Since you last heard the gleeful voice of ol J.B., I have seen The Avengers, not once but twice. What a movie. Let me say that again to convey my proper level of enthusiasm. WHAT A MOVIE!!!!! If you haven’t yet, be sure to get yourself to the cinema this week sometime to catch it on the big screen. Otherwise, any Marvel fan would really be doing themselves a disservice. The movie was great all the way around! In fact, Streebo and myself spent the bulk of this weeks MVP Mutant Radiobroadcast discussing just that topic.

The Avengers (2012)

There’s also a new “Making Metatron” Vlog update coming your way soon. I’m may double up one day this week just to maintain my “at least one MutantTV video per week” schedule.

In the meantime you can check out an alternate take of Absolute Zero (featuring yours truly and Todd A. Britt)’s performance from Muticia’s Morgue on the official AZ Youtube Channel. The footage has been quickly comped and not in way shape or fashion similar to what you’ll seen in the program. It’s just for fun so check it out if you like having your face melted with original Alt Rock!

See you next week my Mutant friends!

MVP goes to Prison on Scary Movie Saturday!

Prison (1988)

In honor of our good friends at Exploited Cinema who first turned us on to Renny Harlin’s low budget debut Prison and who may in fact be nearing the end of their tenure as we know them. Change isn’t always a bad thing and is often required for more good to come so we wish Jdog and Bat32 nothing but success in their personal and professional lives. The boys had a greasy good ride and to that the Mutantville Players tip our hats. Thanks for keeping it greasy fellas.

Speaking of Renny Harlin and his low budget adventures, here’s a quote from wikipedia:
Harlin moved to the U.S. where he was initially put to work directing low-budget horror movies, but commercial success was soon to follow. In 1988, Irwin Yablans of Empire Pictures hired him to direct Viggo Mortensen, Chelsea Field and Lane Smith in the low-budget horror film Prison filmed at a former state prison in Rawlins, Wyoming.[9] That same year Robert Shaye of New Line Cinema, after some initial doubts, hired him to direct another low-budget horror film, A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master, which became the highest grossing independent film at that time by earning $49 million in the US. Harlin cameos in the film as a student while a publicity poster for Prison can be seen in the background of a scene in a movie theatre.

FEAST & Piranha 3DD trailer discussion on latest MVP Mutant Radio!

Piranha 3DD & FEAST on this week's MVP Mutant Radio!

Mutants, Assemble! That doesn’t quite have the same ring to it – but it sounds better than “Mutants, mutate!” You have just enough time for your weekly MVP update before rushing off to the theaters to see The Avengers tonight! It’s been a non-stop rollercoaster ride for the Mutantville Players as we’ve continued post-production on everything from Muticia’s Movie Morgue to G.H.O.S.T. over the past week. We also released the latest edition of the MVP Mutant Radio show which features a nice discussion on John Gulgar including his work on FEAST, his time on Project Greenlight 3 and his upcoming Piranha 3DD. We’re busy making our own movies, doing endless promotion and conquering the genre world one medium at a time – and we somehow still found time to help found the Charlotte Film Anarchists mastermind group. Can you say “carpe diem”? Sure you can.

MVP Mutant Radio hit iTunes last week to a rather warm reception. We’ve been thrilled to sit back on the Mothership and watch the shows get downloaded to the four corners of the world. Of coruse our largest following is in the United States and the UK, but we’re also garnering listeners from Canada, Norway, New Zeland, Bulgaria, Pakistan, Malaysia, Germany and on and on! It’s quite humbling to know that our little radio show is going out to so many homes.
