Storm Film Update

So, things are still moving very fast and John sent me his 3rd draft last night. The opening 2 scenes work much better as does the final scene which I like to think comes full circle and brings us back to a familair place.

When we started this project I thought to myself that there is no point in rushing things so we can complete it to an unrealistic deadline. However, It's is moving at an incredibale pace due to the enthisiasm and talent of everyone involved.

Here is (what may become a regular feature in these updates) a teaser........

What exactly is written on THAT peice of paper.....?????

Happy New Year

So here we are, it's 2011 and this is going to be a good year for the Storm film. We're off to a flying start with the first complete draft of the script being delivered ahead of time. John has indeed been very busy and is now tightening it up so it is as dynamic and powerful as possible. We could of course film it as it is and it would be amazing but the production team really want to deliver the very best they can.

In other news we have a potential cast in place, subject to auditions but I am sure that we have the right people judging by their impressive CV's........ one will be recognisable as he has made several television appearances so fingers crossed he will be available.....

So, what can we say about the story without giving too much away....? Well, it certainly doesn't hang about and dives straight into the action. There are genuine moments of fear, emotion, drama and comedy with a generous twist at the end.

In true "production notes" style the script includes the following.........


"Oi! Not the hair", "Chicken and mayo" and "leave the body"


Make sure you stay tuned for more updates soon and maybe a word or two from John Davies......

Final Trailer

So, today I have put together yet another trailer from the existing footage, mainly to practice using the editing software. The next thing will be a trailer from the new film footage.

Enjoy........

Script News

John Davies is beavering away at his keyboard and bringing all of his fascinating, original and shocking story elements together to form the basis of the script's first draft.

The final scene is just about done (you know these writers..... they like to start at the end and work their way backwards) and is quite thrilling. The Storm creation is like nothing before it.

This project is now gaining momentum as John and I are speaking on a daily basis so watch this space for more updates as and when they happen...........

New Trailer with dialogue

Today, December 3rd 2010 we recorded some dialogue of Storm for a brand new teaser trailer for next years teaser. This short trailer gives away very little about the plot but we hope it will whet your appetite for what is to come.

We do have some other exciting developments but it is far too soon to reveal them at the moment so make sure you stay tuned......

New writer announced......

We're pleased to announce that published author Mr John Davies is now on board and is currently writing the first draft of the screen play for the new film. John has written many things in the past including some official Doctor Who stories.

Needless to say we're all very excited about this news and can't wait to see the finished script.

You can read some of John's work here on his very own blog and he will no doubt be writing his own "production notes" on this blog...... Oh, and here is a link to his published work....

Official Images

Steve Dutton took some professional pictures of Storm earlier this year and they are some of the best we have seen showing Storm in the best possible light. Here is a quick sample from his port folio book;

Fan poster picture.....

I happened to come across this by chance on Facebook. I have no idea who it's by (and I hope they don't mind it being reproduced here) but as a mock up it does look really good.....

Theme Tune

I have been working on a possible theme tune for the opening and closing credits, at this stage they're a work in progress but I quite like it so far but knowing me I will probably re write it at some stage.

Here is that film........
