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!
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.

The Charlotte Film Anarchists will hold first meeting in May.
Welcome back to another weird and wild Monday on the Mutantville Mothership. It should go without saying by now that it’s been a busy weekend for the Mutantville Players. Post-production has been ongoing for several projects including G.H.O.S.T. and Tales From Mutantville and we are set to shoot the final scene for Muticia’s Movie Morgue tonight! Tonight’s shoot will be interesting as it features a live musical performance from Absolute Zero with band members Brent Bowers, Todd A. Britt and Jeremy Mullis. The biggest event of the weekend was the sudden announcement and subsequent launch of the filmmaking mastermind group the Charlotte Film Anarchists.
The Charlotte Film Anarchists is a group founded by Ghost Trek creator Michael Plumides and MVP co-founder J.T.McRoberts. The goal of the group is to provide Charlotte area filmmakers a chance to come together for a mastermind group once a month and talk to like minded individuals in the NC film industry. The Charlotte Film Anarchists is in no way meant to replace the existing group Charlotte Film Community – but rather to supplement it by giving actors and filmmakers that want to be more proactive a chance to meet and talk with others that have the same goals in mind.
What sets this group apart is the fact that there are no membership dues and no meetup fees. We are all struggling filmmakers that have to put so much of our own individual resources into our productions that at the end of the day it doesn’t always work out where we can scrounge up additional fees so we can simply meet and talk with our fellow filmmakers. Kill The Music author and Ghost Trek creator Michael Plumides started the ball rolling by finding a venue that would allow us to meet once a month to do our best to create positive proactive filmmaking partnerships.
Another Wednesday is here and of course that means another Johnny Brento’s JuJu. This time Johnny B talks G.H.O.S.T., DVD, Cabin in the Woods, The MVP Mutant Radio Podcast and loads of Mutantville News.
The past few weeks have been a flurry of activity for Mutantville with the launch of the long awaited MVP Mutant Radio podcast on iTunes! Be sure to subscribe for your monthly Mutantville fix and likely far more often than that if this week’s content is any indicator.
Tonight the crew swings back into action to shoot another scene for the inaugural episode of Muticia’s Movie Morgue. Next week the performance from Absolute Zero will be film and epsisode 1 will be in the can finally.
Check out the video for the full Monty.

Join your hosts Streebo & Geo for the historic first episode of MVP Mutant Radio! In this MVP update we have a discussion on Cabin In The Woods and Muticia’s Movie Morgue and we even drop a few filmmaking tips along the way.
Welcome back to another edition of Mutantville Mondays here on Mutantville.com! We had another busy weekend on the decks of the MVP Mothership as we recorded the inaugural episode of MVP Mutant Radio, held our semi-annual MVP meeting, and continued working on various productions including G.H.O.S.T., Tales from Mutantville, and Muticia’s Movie Morgue. If there were a way to get twenty-seven hours out of each day, something tells me even that would not be enough to do all of the things that need doing. Idle hands are the devil’s playthings so we do our best to stay on the right side of the tracks by making the best genre entertainment you’ll find in the Carolinas.
Welcome back to another edition of Scary Movie Saturday aboard the Mothership. It’s been a busy week on the Mutantville Mothership as we’ve been working on so many projects that it becomes a real game of juggling to keep them all going. On top of shooting the first episode of Muticia’s Movie Morgue and finishing post on both the DVDs for G.H.O.S.T. and Tales From Mutantville we have kept the promotional train going with recent interviews with regional filmmakers such as Ken Comito and the Ghost Trek crew. I’m looking at a stack of indie horror movies that I’m reviewing this week and I thought you know what some of these would make great features for Scary Movie Saturday. And then I saw Party Girl and thought it was perfect. This is the indie flick for the grease fiend in you.
Check out the trailer below:

The boys are back in town. Bog Zombie Jeremy Mullis, Mutie and Todd A. Britt take a break between takes.
Welcome back to the Mutantville Mothership for another edition of Fridays with MVP! It’s been another busy week here on Mutantville.com as we’ve been pulling footage from the recent Muticia’s Movie Morgue “Zombie Day” shoot from last week – and there’s a brand new MP3 on my desktop which contains the final version of the score for G.H.O.S.T. by Martin Bowes of Attrition. This weekend, the first installment of Tales from Mutantville – our little neo-slasher lovingly titled – Scarecrow At Midnight – will play during the Blood On The Beach Film Festival in Virginia.

Our Fearless Movie Goddess gets to the Heart of the Matter in this Episode of Movie Morgue
Another Johnny Brento’s JuJu Wednesday is upon us. THIS time I have something cool to share. It’s behind the scenes Mutantville Zombie Day inside access. Yeah!!! Sometimes, things just work out, or as old Hannibal used to say on the A-Team, I love it when a plan comes together.
Hint: That's not Beet juice I'm about to dump into our featured zombie's eye.
I got roped into a role as second makeup artist and wound up doing 7 zombie makeups in 2 hours. Obviously it had to be mostly shading with those limitations, but I did churn out one latex creation on a featured zombie portrayed by Lisa Cobb. Being that the footage was going to be converted to black and white, I figured it would carry the impression of undead. I’m happy to report that the footage looks great. I even pulled out the camera and got some footage of the graveyard antics for you, faithful mutants!
This bit from the upcoming episode of Muticia’s Movie Morgue features our movie goddess in her news reporter guise in the field during the events of NOTLD circa 1969, interviewing the ghouls as they return to from the dead.
The second featured zombie, we lovingly refer to as, “Bogman” was portrayed by our friend and by now veteran MVP Player, Jeremy Mullis. He was decked out as a zombie who’d languished in a semi open grave and had the experience of moss growing over much of his face and body.
Muticia Always Gets Her Zombie!
Rise of The Bogman
Here in the Mutantville Cemetery, we see it in full light and it looks amazing. AMAZING! It’s almost as cool as when Burger King switched from Pepsi to Coke products. Sometimes, things just work out!
So, I’m guessing that if you are still reading this far into the article, you really really want to see the behind the scenes video promised above. Be sure to subscribe, like and comment on our video on Youtube. Remember, make your comments on MutantTV tell us what kind of programming you really want to see. So far, apparently you like Streebo’s horror chat and review type Vlogs better than the making of and behind the scenes content which I tend to focus on. That’s why I have one day of programming and he has 5. If that’s not to your liking, make your voice heard on the Youtube comments box for videos featuring content you like the most.
Without further ado, Johnny Brento’s Zombie Day JuJu 2012.
