Hmmmm, lessee.... [In reply to] Can't Post

Step one: development, like storyboarding and writing the script

Step two: preproduction, like hiring everybody and building props and sets

Step three: production, like actually filming the movie

Step four: post production, like assembling a rough cut and scoring the music.

Step five: distribution, like publicity and release.

So 2009 is just two years away and they haven't even finished development?????

Well, I suppose it could happen. After all, "Jesse James Meets Frankenstein’s Daughter" was shot in eight days by William "One Take" Beaudine and look what a classic that was. And that same year screenwriter Carl Hittleman (writer of "Sheena, Queen of the Jungle") had already churned out the script for its prequel, "Billy the Kid Versus Dracula".

It only goes to show that "quick and dirty" does not necessarily mean that the film is going to be gosh-awful. (But that's usually the way to bet.)

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Sometime hours and hours hence:
In The Green Dragon two ales could buy
And drank the one less filling I
And that has made all the difference.

- The Ale Less Filling by Robert Frostymug
