Speaking of YouTube, the MonsterBuster YouTube channel officially launched today; there's not much on it yet (just the trailer for First Date and a clip from Troll Picnic) but we'll be updating it throughout April and May until all of our movies are online. Look for Jake and Julie Vs. The Boogeyman! and Mario and Luigi to be our first full movie uploads, and please subscribe or follow this blog if you want to know when they become available.
The DVD for the MonsterBuster Film Festival is coming along nicely. The art for the DVD case can be seen on our Facebook page, and we're working on tying up a few final audio and music issues before submitting the DVD to CreateSpace for distribution. If everything goes as planned it will be available for sale by the end of May. Remember, if you worked on one of our movies you will receive a free copy!
The DVD will contain virtually everything we've created pre-2012; in addition to First Date, Werebum, Crowscare and Mario and Luigi, it will also feature the Invasion of the Undead! teaser, Troll Picnic and Jake and Julie Vs. The Boogeyman!, our music video for The Promise Drive's "Don't Wake Me Up" (sorry about that typo on the box art, it will be fixed for the final release), the movie segments of our 2011 Halloween Make-up series with xteeener, and our trailers for First Date, Werebum and the Festival itself. Many of the movies will be tweaked from their screening at the Festival, with the most drastic being Werebum, which has received a complete grindhouse-style recut that keeps more with the style of its trailer. The very first MonsterBuster movie Troll Picnic has also been completely color corrected for the DVD, and this version is easily the best the movie has ever looked.
The MonsterBuster website is currently under construction! If you've been to www.monsterbusterentertainment.com you've seen the placeholder image advertising spring 2012 as the website launch date, and yes, we will be launching a full site later this spring! The placeholder image also lists a few new movies we have in production for 2012, and if you're curious here's a full production update on everything we currently have on our slate:
Invasion of the Undead! starring Desmond and Jake, Paranormal Exterminators - MonsterBuster's first feature film, whose teaser trailer debuted at the MonsterBuster Film Festival last November, is currently in pre-production. Feedback on the script so far has been great, and we're currently looking at different fundraising options to raise the necessary budget. Shooting could conceivably begin as early as this July.
Horror Hotel - MonsterBuster's first web series is the creation of our regular special effects artist Ricky Hess. We don't want to give any plot specifics away just yet, but look to this blog for an official announcement regarding the series sometime this summer.
H.P. Lovecraft's The Statement of Randolph Carter - Our next short film will shoot at the end of May. We found an awesome location for the tomb and are keeping our fingers crossed we can get the necessary permits to shoot there! The script, written by Matt Garrison and Torey Haas, sticks pretty closely to the original Lovecraft story, and Torey will direct.
Super Mario and Luigi - The follow-up to Mario and Luigi follows the titular duo's efforts to thwart Jerry's budding relationship with Peach. We currently don't have any dates set for production, but Greg Garrison has completed the script. If Invasion doesn't shoot this summer Super Mario and Luigi will likely take its place on our production slate.
Jay Holloway's The Ghoul - Jay's follow-up to Crowscare, a twisted homage to the films of Frank Henenlotter, is currently being written. We shot a teaser trailer back in January that will likely debut this summer.
Metroid - Fred Grant's fan trailer is currently in post-production and is looking pretty fantastic. Anthony Baker is creating the CGI for Samus's suit while Torey Haas is crafting some stop motion Chozos for a flashback sequence. We're hoping to get this one out before the summer!
The Red Herring Trailer #2 - Yes, there will be one more Red Herring trailer, and it will be in a completely different style than the one that premiered today. Look for it in May since we have one more day of shooting later this month.
So yeah, we have a pretty busy year ahead of us! Look to this blog for updates on all of the above projects, and if you haven't checked us out on Facebook please do so! Thank you for reading!
