Working on full-length feature film

It's a working title project that I've been wanting to do for a long time. Right now it's in the script writing process. I've written over 12 full 8 1/2 by 11 inch pages so far and I will transfer it into Celtx soon.

It's a film about zombies and the survival of 2 people. Comedy/horror is my approach to this movie. The budget should be $1000+ dollars. This covers the cost of the camera (Canon HV40) and hopefully a new laptop. I need actors as well. I am in desperate need of actors. My friends are useless.

My original plan was as the following: Buy a $6000 camera ( Panasonic HVX200A or 200B w/ $200 lens filters), a $1000 Vaio laptop, and hire some well actors making the end cost to be close to $9000-$10000. This, of course was a dream...instead I'll get a $1000 camera, a cheap $100 laptop and maybe, just maybe 1 or 2 actors.

I'm still sorting things out but I don't expect the film to be made any time soon. I'm almost considering not releasing it until a few years down the road.

It will go up on youtube, but it'll have to be in parts.

Uncharted 3 Gameplay footage and Behind-the-Scenes

Click here for Uncharted 3 gameplay footage from the late night with Jimmy Fallon.

Click here for Naughty Dog's Uncharted 3 behind-the-scenes

The gameplay is what was in the screenshot I posted a while back with the fire in the building.

Apparently during 7:08 during the behind-the-scenes, on one of the computers you can see in the background it shows Nathan Drake with a motorcycle underneath, this is just speculation but that would be awesome!

I hope to death there will be more co-op, more story, more multiplayer and what would really be the icing on the cake would definately be local multiplayer (co-op/competetive).

Uncharted 1 and 2 reviews coming soon.

New Uncharted 3 VGA trailer





We get a release date ^
The trailer it out here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imxYEIScL8o
It shows cut-scenes to where the story will be basing. It shows what it's about, the treasure of Lawrence of Arabia. AND it shows a small amount of gameplay. The gameplay suggests there will be underwater adventures from a sinking boat, explosions with Sully and much more. Oh ya...Sully is back! Thank god. Still no word yet on Elana or Chloe yet.

Jungles, Mexican Villages, caves, etc. and now deserts and ocean expoditions. Is there anywhere Nathan Drake won't go? It looks like Drake will travel through Europe as well.


New updates as info. arises.

Uncharted 3 concerns

If 3 long posts about my excitement of a game seems too geeky, prepare for my concerns that this game will not make it to video game stardom.

1. I think the game will have awfully large multiplayer maps that will be struggling to get any kills. The second game had the same problem for a couple of the maps.

2. What the hell is there to do in the desert? Seriously... Walk around a dusty wasteland of nothingness.

3. Tasteless repeditiveness. Uncharted 3: Planes crash once again? How many times have they made that happen? Again with the story on how Uncharted rips off most adventure movies (Indiana Jones, National Treasure, etc.)

4. This has nothing to do with the 3rd game but I must complain about this...for the Uncharted: Drake's Fortune movie which director David O. Russell has kindly lended his talent to produce, has taken a turn for the dumps.
-Who would cast Mark Walhberg as any actor? Let alone good ol' nathan drake, Nathan Fillion makes a much better choice.
- Instead of Nazi Zombies as Nathan Drake's threat, what about cuddly little teddys? That's right, David O. Russell's plan for the movie is to be based as a Family Film.
- The only good thing that has come with Russell is casting Robert Deniro, still no word yet on which UC: DF character he will play but if it's Sully, it would be Russell's first good decision as director.


So that's my rant. I really really really really really really REALLY want to play the crap out of the new uncharted game, even if these things will be true. And I do want to see the movie, even if it sucks...it's still Uncharted.

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception Screenshots





I was misinformed. There are screenshots:

If the trailer didn't reveal that much, this sure will!

As well with this, Jimmy Fallon of the late night will show a live demo of the 3rd game during next week's episode of The Late Night.

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception Info.

Here is the link to the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCuRKqwrjdQ
It was released as a trailer to the world premiere for the VGAs.
Here is the description as found from naughtydog.com:
"

UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception features the return of famed fortune hunter Nathan Drake and follows him through a gripping, action-packed storyline that will take you all over the world. In his search for the fabled “Atlantis of the Sands,” Nathan Drake and longtime friend and mentor Victor Sullivan set off on a daring trek into the heart of the Arabian Desert. But when terrible secrets of this lost city are uncovered, their journey becomes a desperate bid for survival that will force him to confront his deepest fears.

Throughout UNCHARTED 3, you’ll be taken to spectacular new locations around the globe that will showcase all of the work we’ve taken on to take our physics, particle and visual effects to a new level.

Competitive and co-op multiplayer will return as a key ingredient to the UNCHARTED 3 package, where all of the new features we have planned will combine with our signature single-player cinematic gameplay to create a unique action-adventure multiplayer experience that can only be found in the UNCHARTED universe.

Oh, and there’s one more thing – UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception fully supports high-resolution Stereoscopic 3D."


They also announced more news to come one day after the VGAs.

Get pumped!
