Trailer Park of Terror's Hayley Marie Norman

Here is a brief piece from the Desert Morning News about Hayley's adventures at the festivals in Utah promoting TPoT.

Okay, it's back to work for me.....

Nothing much to say, I SHOULD be working or sleeping...

Wired.com - On his blog, Jason Silverman lists the Top 10 Movie Trailers @ Sundance (going on at the same time/town as Slamdance). Norma and crew made the list. CLICK-CLICK :D


I have found an artist for my contribution to the When Drive-Ins Attack! anthology!! The graphic novel anthology will feature stories from Steve Niles (30 Days of Night, Simon Dark, Batman), Rich Stahnke (Furious Fist of the Drunken Monkey), Dan Wickline (30 Days of Night), Dwight McPherson (Edgar Allen Poo, Dead Men Tell No Tales) and many others. I've had the story written and have been keeping an eye out for an artist for MONTHS. I finally found the right guy. I have rough character designs and thumbnail sketches of the all 19 pages already. Hope to have something to show in the next couple weeks.


Book 1 of Black Watch is only a few tweaks from being completely finished. Waaaaaay back when the book was picked up by Imperium and we learned that we'd be waiting until summer or later of this year to put the book out, everything kind of went onto the back burner. But now the time draws near and Rob is finishing the last color tweaks to the last pages as he gets ready to start cranking on the next two issues which are completely drawn and waiting for him. I have a few tweaks I think I'll make to the lettering/SFX/script as I go through and output the final files for print....and of course as we get really close credits pages and editorial stuff and ad pages...but basically it's ready to go.


OH YEAH! Almost forgot, my graphic novel Nothingface will soon be available as a free PDF download through WOWIO.com.

And they're off!

The Imperium boys are off to Slamdance (see the post below if you don't know what I'm talkin' 'bout) for a big weekend and then Monday's debut of Trailer Park of Terror. In a Variety article the programming director for Slamdance predicts Trailer Park could be a break-out flick, saying, "It’s one of our Twilight films, and I think it’s going to be a big hit.”

I guess if anyone just happens to be hanging out over in Park City, go check out the flick and say hi to the guys. :D I'm pretty sure my favorite undead trailer park tramp will be there!
(That'd be Nichole Hiltz who plays Norma. That's her in the picture over there...looking MUCH more sweet and innocent...and ALIVE...than she does as Norma!)

So good luck to everyone involved. Have fun in Utah!

One last thing! I just noticed last night the TPoT move site has been revamped. Looks pretty slick, check it out...

Slamdance Film Festival 2008

Pretty sure I've mentioned this already but it bears repeating. The TRAILER PARK OF TERROR movie will be making it's premiere at SLAMDANCE. Slamdance is all about the indy flicks, it's my understanding that it was started in response to the Sundance Festival NOT being the indy festival it claimed to be...(You ever see the coverage of Sundance on TV? it's all corporate with $10,000 gift bags and lavish parties for all these big stars proving how cool they are for supporting "indy films". BLECH!)...or maybe they just think Robert Redford is a world class tool (I sure as @#&$ do!) and they wanted to get up in his grill. Either way, Slamdance was born and that's where TPoT will be having it's pervy blood splattered redneck undead coming out party.

And I for one think that's pretty monkeyfarmin' cool!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Well, I hope everyone had some happy and safe fun for New Year's. And I hope it's left you with some "fresh start" energy for whatever you're working on...career, home projects, financial stuff....whatever. I'm off to a pretty good 2008 myself. Did I little cleaning house (figuratively and literally) and find myself with a good attitude for starting off the new year. Need to get some things taken care of, need to get some things back on track and I feel energized to do it and see very clearly how to go about it one-not-so-overwhelming step at a time.
  • Black Watch will be coming out this year.
  • Nothingface will be going up on WOWIO soon. (For those not in the know, WOWIO is a free ebook service. I can get my books listed there, you can then download them for FREE as PDF files and I make a little money of each copy downloaded.)
  • I plan/hope to have at least seven books out this year with my name in the WRITER slot! Four issues of Black Watch (hey, each issue counts, sparky!) and three more things, one shots of other properties. Planning for some new Nothingface with a one-shot...as well as launching Angeline 43 with a one-shot, and hopefully one more one-shot (and/or a sizable story in a big anthology).
  • I have several cool lettering assignments lined up....some old, some new. Trailer Park of Terror, Chaotic Soldiers, a kids book called Monster Truck Mayhem, a graphic novel for Devil's Due, possibly another GN I won't name just yet, the When Drive-Ins Attack anthology GN (an image from that book can be seen at right) and possibly a few other things if their creators find publishing homes for them.
  • Trailer Park of Terror the movie will be out this year (Premiering at the Slamdance Film Festival)...really bigger news for the boys at Imperium than me but it's nice to be associated with it.
  • The Lost Squad movie will hopefully be moving along for my pal Chris Kirby...if this writer's strike every gets settled. (Another case of a book I letter getting upon screen....not really MY news but still fun to be "attached to" no matter how remotely.)
Well, I guess that's enough jibber-jabber. Better get some sleep so i can get up and get crackin' on all this new year, new start stuff.
