VIDEO FOOTAGE OF DEVIL IN NEW YORK

Hello
I am sitting in the final online edit for Devil. I know I have claimed that the film has been finished before. But any second now it will be completely finished and awesome for real.Then it will be flown to WETA in Wellington to be blown up to a 35mm film print. Which will be dupicated many many times. There will be hundreds of clones. These prints will be sent forth into the world. Finally The Devil starts on it's path to world domination.
Man this is a big moment. Two years of my stinking life devoted solely to making this film (and drinking beer) and its all about to finish.

Oh shit not yet. They just discovered it needs a 2 day render.
oh well false alarm. Fuck it I might go see that movie Hot Fuzz instead.

Hey some one at the New York screening filmed the crowd and stuff and here it is. Now you people stuck down here in NZ can visualize exactly how shit went down on that amazing spring evening in New York.

“A great, crazy, fucked-up little New Zealand comedy… It’s a celebration of the stupidity of the daredevil profession, and it’s early-Peter-Jackson-gory.”
--AintItCool.com

“It's like a cross between The Road Warrior, Mad Magazine and Jackass…and quite a bit funnier than most Hollywood comedies I've seen in recent years.”
-- Cinematical

“Is New Zealand the new hotbed for cutting-edge comedy?”

THE LAST PICK UP FOR DEVIL

Today we shot the last pick up for 'The Devil Dared Me To'. Two essential shots one of a spine breaking and one of a car jack breaking. This might be a spoiler but the two shots are related in a narrative context. Now the film is complete. This means all you people that have seen it at screenings around the world haven't seen shit. You fully haven't fully seen it. The 2 seconds of footage we have added completely change it. It's like fucking Blade Runner compared to the fucking directors cut.

In other news the sound track is going to be awesome. Out on Liberation music in a few months. Featuring songs from Deja Voodoo and some good stuff too.

BACK IN NEW ZEALAND

The Picture above is of me and 'The General' at the London screening of The Devil Dared Me To

So we are back after an incredible trip around the world. It's been loose. Now it's time to make a new series of our TV show.
Moved a few desks round our new offices and then took a few days off cause of you know jet lag and shit like that. But man anyday now we are going to get stuck right in.

Now even thow we have had the premiere of Devil Dared Me To in Austin we are sneaking off to shoot some more pick ups tomorrow. There was this bit that just kept annoying me cause it was the only really lame bit in the whole picture. But we are going to shoot some new stuff and then the movie will be perfect.

For those of you who live in New York there will be a screening of the Devil Dared Me To on the 26th of April. Ill post details soon but make sure you go it will be awesome.

In other news we went to see Grindhouse in LA. That is the two best movies I have ever seen - Holy Christ.

COMING HOME

So it's our last day of the most full on world tour. The Devil Dared Me To has been promoted hardcore and our livers have been almost completely destroyed.

But the good news is we are coming back to NZ to shoot the rest of the next series of Back of the Y which will be awesome fun

We did heaps of great filming around LA over the last few days.
Got asked to leave lots of different places apparently you need permits to shoot over here.
What a fucking scam.

Anyway we are blowing off all our LA meetings today to go and see Grindhouse can't wait. It's probably not out in NZ for months so you guys can suffer. Looking forward to going on about how good it is to all of you and rubbing it in your face that you won't see it for ages.

might even let loose some spoilers.

London Screening Drunken Success

Hello so I have been recieving angry emails about not updating this blog. Which is odd cause I figured no one would bother reading it.
Anyway here is an update on the shit we have been up to in ye olde London town,

We had a screening of the Devil Dared Me To in a private room at Filthy MacNasties a cool pub in Angel. Was meant to be Just some mates and a few others. Ended up being super packed and really full on. The movie went down a treat with the boozed viewers.
There was much laughter through out and a huge amount of ego boosting 'That fucking ruled' type comments at the end.

The only down side was the guitarist from Deja Voodoo 'The General'. The guy was super drunk and yelling all the way thru. He had seen it before and thought it would be a great idea to yell lines from the movie before they came up. Or yell for 10 minutes before he appeared as an extra. Or yell when ever he recognised someone which ws basically everyone in the film. But you know he's a good c**t so no biggie and the movie does lend it's self well to drunkness. So in away his pissed commentary was fitting.

The screening was followed by debauched all night drinking that left me with a hang over so bad that I nearly threw up on stage the following night. Our band was supporting Elemeno P at the Islington academy. It was wicked, the place was packed 600 - 700 people. The other three members of The Voodoo (including The General) tore the place a new arse hole. I sucked the big one. But I did get through with out passing out or vomiting. So it was a moral victory and a great time was had by all.

We are off to Stone Henge tomorrow, never been before can't wait. It better be fucking awesome or I'll kick it over.
