Oh hey, remember me?

Why hello there, children. Long time not talk. As most of you know may know, Christmas and New Years have come and gone recently which means Johnny was totally busy with lots of cool and exciting things. Alright, tiny exaggeration. I was in actuality just saying what up to my family, chillaxin with some cool kids from the good ol days of SCSU, and working for the man at the theater putting together and taking apart movies like the projection bitch that I am. Why is it that all ya'll fuckers go to the movies on Christmas? Working on Christmas Day makes Johnny want to...

PUNISH!!!

Alright...totally geeked out there for a minute with a horror film reference that mostly no one will get. If you do then congrats on being a cool kid

So what the hell is up with Sasquatch Assault you ask? Well I'm glad you asked. Since my last update we have completed filming all of the additional small scenes, including a cameo by yours truly. In it I play a real stretch for me...a drunk college kid. That fat bastard Sasquatch steals my damn pizza! *angrily shakes fist* Andrew (pictured) is busy with his non-stop editing of the movie in order to reach the completion deadline. I was up at the office this past Friday and almost two thirds of the movie has been through the rough edit. It's not lookin too shabby...and dare I say it...even like a real movie...effing love when that happens. But in all honesty, it's looking as best as a low budget horror movie about a Sasquatch terrorizing a police precinct can look. I think people will have a lot fun with it...preferably with a beverage or two being consumed.




I should also mention that the one and only "The Theys" (pictured) has been at it with adding in those little extra touches of effects to bring the movie into total badassery. And by little extra touches I mean adding in a CGI plane and making the Sasquatch's facial features believably move. I would share with you more of what genius plans The Theys has in that giant brain of his, but I fear he will kill me.

The guys over at joblo.com have posted some kind words about the Sasquatch pics that Fangoria posted a few weeks or so back. Check it out.

In other John Doolan related news...Upcominghorrormovies.com recently put up my review of Black Christmas so go flippin read it...Looks out for more sexcellent review to be posted soon.

THURSDAY'S SHOOT

Have you ever seen a Sasquatch smash a pimps head right after he slapped one of his hos? Well I have.

If any cast members would like to write a little overview of their experiences on the set I'd be more than happy to post it up. Whether it be how you had an effing smexcellent time where the cast and crew were total professionals and created a great atmosphere...or how you've never been so insulted before in your life by a group of childish degenerates ridiculously fixated on fecal explosions, self inflicted small dick jokes, the word shuttlecock, and rampant surges of "your mom" snaps.

EXTRA SHOOTING

So basically Sasquatch Assault had an initial schedule of fifteen shooting days. That is Absolutely nothing if you look at your typical Hollywood film that can take anywhere from 30 days to god knows how many months. Hell even our last film took near 30 days to shoot. I'm still amazed that we were able to get everything done by the end of the schedule, but then I think about the lack of sleep and twenty hour days and think to myself 'you're damn right we better have fucking finished the scheduled scenes'. However, not EVERY single shot for the movie was completed. There were some scenes that were separate from our main locations that were left off because they didn't require a full crew or the main cast. Today we ventured to Robertson airport to shoot in a plane hanger inside a six million dollar jet. Totally scifi-ing out with this scene. Tomorrow it's back to Middletown to shoot in our favorite tunnel that goes underneath the highway. And why is it our favorite tunnel? Because it's so fucking brightly lit that it Buffylands out without us doing any work...love when that happens.

SOME NEW PICS

Hope everyone had a good thanksgiving...it was a typical holiday in the Doolan household with Irish Mist and shots of tequila for dessert. Here's a couple new pics from the set...beware for those who weren't on the production, there be spoilers within!

Eh...he deserved it.

Nutcher and his naked face.

Uh oh...Matt has the camera...

Death by Machete

Our friend the scary cut out officer decided to steal the mask.

Gumby sleeping in one of his many agonizing positions.

Poor Jameson.

Shea looks so at home behind those bars

How the hell did Matty not feel us sticking E.T. stickers to him?

Evidence locker...with real evidence left in there. Aren't they supposed to take that when they transfer stations?

If anyone has any other behind the scenes pics feel free to email them to me and I'll post a few!

POST PRODUCTION

We still have about four scenes that need to be completed, but until we get those times and locations squared away might as well get cranking on the post production. I went into the office today to hang out with Andrew (Director/Producer) as he edited the opening scene of the movie. I really like sitting in on the edits as I totally dig seeing things that I lived with for all those months on paper come alive. It's a pretty daunting task to look through all the footage and figure out what shot's the best and what angle works best edited into the next, but Andrew seems to have a pretty clear idea of what he's looking for. From the rough first few minutes that I've seen I can say that on a technical level, Sasquatch Assault is better than it has any business being for a movie about a Sasquatch in a city. I'm effing stoked to see how the rest of it comes together. It's also refreshing to find out that what's edited so far is longer than expected, considering we thought we might have some problems reaching the desired 80-85 minute mark. It's tricky because when it comes to lower budget horror films like this one, quick pacing in imperative. You never want it to drag in fear that you can lose your audience, but you always want it to reach a certain length. So far everything is in great shape so keep checking back for more updates

REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA

Last week a left filming for a day to see the new horror movie rock opera "Repo! The Genetic Opera." And my face has been fucking rocked hard by this insanely creative and bizzare little movie. It's only playing in about twelve citites or so across the country, but if it ever expands, do yourself a favor and see it. Repo! stands out as not only one of the best horror movies I've seen this year, but one of the best movies. I just sent in a review of it to my webmaster at upcominghorrormovies.com so be sure to keep an eye out for it.
