Every Scifi Pulp Action Movie ...

needs fight music. That is, the soundtrack you hear in your head as you write the fight scenes - fists flying, leaps over tables, bottles crashing over heads, cars crashing, flying out the window on a curtain only to swing around and come back in to the fight.

Then of course with my just-completed Scifi project FLY BY NIGHT there's the additional rayguns blasting, zeppelins roaring past skyscrapers as they patrol overhead, wings flapping, battle cries, eye goggles askew, perilous falls toward doom and so on...

(The kitchen sink is in there somewhere)

But no matter what movie it is - you hear something in your own mind that captures the momentum and feeling you want to convey in your picture. Here's the feeling we're trying to capture for the action scenes in Fly By Night:



Bellware adds to the mix here.

Yes, Red Tide is an obvious influence - not only with the film noir visuals, but with the use of structural "frames." This IS a comic book movie we are making here.

They Are Designing My Movie...

Here.

Though I suppose that since it's moved into the design phase it's OUR movie.

We still need a lead actress to play a master thief who can fly.

This Weekend Is Dedicated To:

1. Finishing all my edits for FLY BY NIGHT and get to the actual re-typing.

(My process includes lots of red pens that bleed all over the first draft of the script making no sense to anyone but me taught in the arcane ways of pulp screenwriting)

2. Finishing this issue of THE PULP LEGION ELECTROGRAM.

3. Polishing the press release for THE KNIGHTMARE.

I had wanted to throw up a contest on the Fans of the Knightmare Facebook page, but it looks like I won't have time. May have to come up with something special for next week.

Support New Pulp Media.

Edit Red = Completed.

Hear That Buzzing?

That's the sound of my furious fingers flying across the keyboard as I rewrite my movie for Andrew...

and begin my writing for Moonstone Books new anthology series THE GREEN HORNET!

I received approval of my treatment yesterday (some of you saw my glee via Facebook) and now have to get down to the grim and gritty adventures of the man who hunts the biggest of all game.

Wow. I'm writing the Green Hornet.

I'm also going to be making another big announcement next week.

Life is good (and busy).

Who Else in This Burg Just Completed a Feature Film Script?

Yeah baby!

What?!

That many...?

Bastards...
