Wesley Crusher Digs Our Movie!
Here’s a little promo about our film, brought to you by Tony Konichek at Friendly Joe Productions. Tony was our Key Grip on the film, and in general a good gamer friend of ours.
You’re not going to believe what’s taking so long to put the final touches on the movie. So in the place of the truth, we present you with the following lie:
Matt Vancil, writer/director of Dorkness Rising, in a fit of inspiration decided to wipe the current score from the movie and start over. Instead of all the months of arduous work that the Brothers Wolbrect have been putting in composing and recording the soundtrack, not to mention the countless sleepless nights both they and sound mixer Phil Price have been sacrificing, Mr. Vancil has decided to start fresh with a score by Tangerine Dream. “Hell, it worked for Legend” said Vancil. Instead of contacting the 80’s band and getting permission to use the music, Phil has been pulling Tangerine Dream songs left and right in order to finish the film. Mr. Price would give no comment, but did give us the finger.
What inspired the change for Mr. Vancil? “Five days of methadone treatment, a bottle of Jack Daniels a day, four coffee cans, basil, No Doze and a blender,” commented Vancil.
Well, before we started the change in the score [/lie], we had a chance to show the film at Gen Con SoCal and none other than Wil Wheaton was there to watch it personally! He wrote his thoughts over at Suicidegirls.com.
“…where I discovered that I’d missed the movie. So instead of A Great Disturbance, I ended up watching The Gamers: Dorkness Rising in the room next door. The movie is hilarious, and if you know why it’s funny for a Bard to have twenty ranks in seduction, you’ll love it. Imagine watching Waiting for Guffman with community theater nerds who all have a sense of humor about themselves, and you’ll know what it was like to watch this film, about gamers in a d20 adventure, surrounded by gamers who just came from playing a d20 adventure.”
Be forewarned, while the interview section of the Suicide Girls site is safe for work, the rest of the site features very pasty, very piercedy girls in various stages of undress. The Dead Gentlemen will not be held responsible if you get caught looking at goth porn at work. That said, check out the interview.
So in all honesty, the movie is doing well. When do you get to see it? We finally have an answer to this. We guarantee that the film will be released before March 2nd, 2091! Yeah, still no idea. Sorry folks!
