Hard Shoulder Poster - First Draft

Set the Rigging....
Well just time I think in my busy schedule to get you up to date with what's happening.............
1) Studios agreed - London, down at 3 Mills Studios it looks like - same place Danny Boyle Shot 28 Days & Sunshine.
2) 2 perf 35mm supplied by Panavision it seems plus a coupla 3 perfs for the 'stunt sequences' and those are under wraps.
3) Set build designs under way.....a really gruesome, wet, slimy, abandoned roadside diner.
4) Finance proceeding with good contacts and negotiations well under way with a final budget approaching £300k.........a far cry from the £50k I first conceived possible....maybe on my DV cam but not now!
5) All cast in place.........deal memos being put together.....Jamie Foreman and Wil Johnson headlining.
6) Discussions ongoing for theatrical distribution.....with major sales/distrib entity. Coming to a cinema near you now more than likely!
7) Storyboards being compiled from a very comprehensive shotlist but we won't be slaves.....adaptability is our maxim. Great design work from my buddy, Steve Simmons!
8) Website due to go 'live!' by March 14th 2009 so keep an eye open for it!
9) Now confirmed participation from the Vfx guys behind Hellboy and BM: The Dark Knight, the sound people on Captain Correlli's Mandolin, the post prod guys on Hunger, music score from the composers of Rise of the Footsoldiers, and model makers from The Descent.
10) Also stunt prep for some amazing road, and fire work being completed by a team whose credits include Saving Private Ryan, and Casino Royale.
So there is a bit of information to keep you excited for what HARD SHOULDER is going to deliver. How did we achieve all this you might ask, on only £120k cash budget? The answer is we didn't. Without the support and passion of many talented individuals we would never have got this far let alone be on the verge of something so exciting....and so sizable.
Remember one thing as you go about preparing your own projects................there is nothing more valuable than a..................GREAT SCRIPT!
Keep truckin everyone.
