Aaaarrrrgggghhhh!!! This week on Classics Corner we will feature “Scream” which was released in 1996. It was written by Kevin Williamson and directed by Wes Craven. It stars Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Drew Barrymore, Jamie Kennedy, Rose McGowen and Skeet Ulrich.
According to imdb, Casey (Drew Barrymore’s character) claims that all of the sequels to A Nightmare on Elm Street “sucked”. Wes Craven sold the rights to sequels before the film was released and became a success and disliked many of the sequels.

In this video – reviewer Pizowell discusses the documentary Overnight – about the trials and tribulations of director Troy Duffy and his journey to bring Boondock Saints to the screen. This should be considered required viewing for all aspiring filmmakers and film students. Listen to Pizowell’s thoughts and then go and watch Overnight on Netflix as it is available for instant viewing.
In this video, writer/director J.T.McRoberts brings us up to speed on the current status of G.H.O.S.T. as well as other happenings in the MVP universe.
We reviewed the first assembly of G.H.O.S.T. last night and the verdict is in – it looks great! We were very pleased with what we have so far. Plans have been set in motion to shoot additional scenes for G.H.O.S.T. to expand the proposed short film into a full length feature! We’re planning a horrific new intro scene to set the tone for the movie as well as a few new introductory scenes for the members of our G.H.O.S.T. team. The wheels have been set in motion and a new schedule will be planned out over the coming weeks. The new scenes should put us back in front of the camera for the next few months – extending the filming of G.H.O.S.T. into the spring. We couldn’t be happier with our progress on G.H.O.S.T. and can’t wait to share it with you all.

The energy is high on the Mutantville Mothership as the producers of MVP meet tonight to review the first assembly of G.H.O.S.T.. G.H.O.S.T. was originally proposed as a five minute short for the Chiller Dare to Direct contest – but was expanded in a longer 30 minute short film. The first cut of G.H.O.S.T. came in at a unexpected 47 minutes. Everyone is so pleased with what we have so far – that we are excited about the possibility of expanding G.H.O.S.T. into a full length feature with an approximate run time of 70 minutes. Tonight we will discuss what works or doesn’t work in the first cut as well as going over the visual FX needed and possible approaches to the score. We will also have our final discussion on the new scenes to be filmed to lengthen the movie before locking them into a new version of the script. What a long strange trip it’s been – and we’re only getting started!

Since we’ve reached the end of the first cut of G.H.O.S.T., let’s take a look back at the genesis of the project – beginning with Brento’s initial walk through of the opera house.
Last night saw the Mutantville Players return to the opera house once more for another round of pick up shots. Luckily we weren’t just shooting windows and door frames this week as we were able to suit up and get bloody for another cool special make-up FX shot. Alan Whitley out his boomstick down and picked up the latex to play the part of our supernatural visitor. Alan underwent a grueling 3 hour session at the hands of special make-up FX kingpin Todd A. Britt. The air was chilly but Alan’s spirits were warm under layers of silicon, tubing and buckets of blood as he brought our ghostly friend to unatural life! With this shot in the can – we have only two major FX shots left and G.H.O.S.T. will be complete. This Sunday, the Mutantville Players are heading to the green and grassy hills of South Carolina for our final pick up shots with two of our leads – Kathy Sandvoss and Scott Thomas. The journey to make G.H.O.S.T. has been an amazing one. It will be sad to see it all come to an end. Be sure to keep checking Mutantville.com for your up to the minute MVP news!
