03/6/07
- The birthday of the Anti-Christ. Wow! What a Weekend it was!
The big premiere held at the Sony Metreon during Wondercon Weekend
was surreal. The audience really enjoyed the latest installment
of THE CROW: PURGATORY II.
Unexpectedly, the venue ran out of chairs:). Nevertheless,
it was suggested to us that we do a small screening tour in some
cafes and bigger comic book shops in the Bay Area in addition
to submitting the film to national independent film festivals. If you have any suggestions for local screenings, please contact us with your ideas!
Not to our surprise, DEATH
was a big hit in the movie. It seems that actress, NIKKI HOY,
has gained a lot of admirers. Seeing the character come to life was a real treat. The two comicbook genres mixed in very well..
(An alternate vision of Neil Gaimen's beloved
character, DEATH (Nikki Hoy) attempts to comfort
Raphael (David
Lockhart) in the realm of dreams).
During the Q&A panel, some of
the questions asked:
Q: How long did it take to make
the film?
A: 3 months, mainly shot on Sunday
nights.
Q: How did you get real crows
on camera?
A: Like an idiot, the cameraman
followed crows and ravens for 3 weeks- almost getting into car
accidents and hanging around dumpsters.
Q: When will Purgatory 3 happen?
A: The vision would take a huge amount
of funding. There is only so much you can do at our guerilla level of production. We would basically have to deal with biological warfare and kill every living thing on the
planet according to the storyline.
In Purgatory II, the character- Amir Merchasin hints that when the last human dies, Demons and Angels will rise from the ashes and start the final war over Souls. The character, Alexis, is the cataylist that starts it all. Yes, we're talking - Armageddon.
