Update on THE HOME

[newleaf31.livejournal.com]

Just a quick word about The Home, the movie that Elijah is producing with Aaron Morgan (director) & Eric Vespe (screenwriter). This morning Aaron tweeted the following: "Might have to take another twitter vacation soon friends. As soon as @EricVespe is well, we have some making to do. #killthedistractions". I spoke with him via Facebook and asked if they might be planning to work on The Home, and he said that the film "isn't dead, but it's definitely on hold for now." So it looks like that project is going to lie fallow a bit longer. Keeping my fingers crossed that it will come to fruition in due time. I still think it looks like something that could be really wonderful.

Thank you for the update, glad to hear The Home is still likely to be made, eventually!

I surely do hope it will. I know it's been delayed a long time already. Have you seen any of Aaron & Eric's other work? They did a short film starring A.J. Bowen last year called "No Way Out." (http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3200919/halloween-treat-watch-aj-bowen-in-full-no-way-out-short/) It's a horror short, too (and really gruesome, if that's something that bothers you). I loved it; thought it was really evocative and well-imagined. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with a feature-length film.

I must admit I haven't seen any of Aaron and Eric's other work. I'm not into *gruesome* and I haven't heard of "No Way Out", sorry.

Thanks for the info, I'd been wondering about this project. Perhaps when they do start working on it again they might decide to combine Elijah's producing work with an acting role:)

That would be great! Wouldn't be surprised if he cameo'd, anyway!

I saw the early poster with the "blood down the drain". (shudder)
The film industry is a strange business, isn't it? Projects are started that never come to fruition (Iggy Pop) or have a really long incubation time (The Home, Black Wings). And some projects are just a little sideline but turn out very nice (FFYR Revisited). As an actor and even as a producer you would have very little control over the final outcome but that outcome would define your future opportunities. Reminds of working as a scientist. So many steps, so little control.

That's so true. There are so many factors involved, I guess, in getting a film made. I really hope this project will eventually get made, because I think there's a ton of talent behind it.
