The Date is a’WHAT!?
Great Googley Moogley, it has been half a year since I have posted here… How does that happen, you might ask? Well, for one, I’ve done three mainstage theatre productions in a row these past months. I went from Mitch Mahoney in ’25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee”, to Aegeus in ‘Medea’, to Mark in ‘RENT’! The ladder has been absolutely exhausting, but incredibly rewarding – its a true honor to be able to play such a well recognized role. Hell, all three parts have been amazing!
Art by Steve Jung. Google him, he's got some incredible work. And this may or may not be a bit of a tease as to what Project Showa is leading up to... wink wink, nudge nudge...
Theatre has kept me so busy that I havent been able to dabble in my film work as much as I would like to, but I can say that I have worked on the script for the sequel to MOTHRA X MECHAGODZILLA as recently as yesterday! I cannot wait to get started on that film. It wont be an easy one, the scale is triple what MXMG was. And if there is ever a project I’ve wanted to happen, its WOLVERINE: LEGEND. That movie will get made. It may take three years for it to get off the ground (DoppelGanger was in my brain for three years before we began shooting) but damnit it will happen. That film has so much to offer the fandom, and me personally.
If one of these projects is to start first, it will be MOTHRA X MECHAGODZILLA, without a doubt. I can work on about 50% of that film by myself. It will require a lot of the same green screen and figure puppetry that MXMG was so well recognized for. Man, this article has my brain spinning again. I am going to go finish up the script, and offer you guys a nice, big article on the sequel! Thanks to everyone who has kept this little site alive in my absence – here’s to another year of flourishing work at UnCanny Studios.
Take care everyone, and until next time – True Believers!
