Coruscant and Lucian Bank on “The Bomb”
With the summer calendar packed to the rafters studios are already looking to later release dates. Hoping to bank on the last summer box office of Labor Day weekend is “The Bomb” written by Lucian and being released as a full comedy by Coruscant.
“The Bomb” is a Christopher Guest comedy that follows the finlas of a National Paper Rock Scissors competition. “Believe it or not” says producer Lucian “There really are such things. Real competitions tend to use the name Rock Paper Scissors so I decided to shuffle the words up out of respect. It’s also the way I’m used to calling the game which I have a surprising amount of experience in due to years of playing White Wolf’s various Mind’s Eye Theater Live Action Role Playing games. But even I didn’t know about the various rcognized gambits and official strategies of the game until I started researching this film. Who know, the annual real competition are in my home town of Toronto, maybe I’ll try to win.”
The film stars Damon Wayans, Chris Kattan and Guest regulars such as Eugene Levey, Catherine O’ Hara, Parker Posey, Michael McKean, Ed Begley Jr, Jim Piddock and Guest himself. Also joining the cast are Betty White and Amy Poehler.
So far, only Secret Agent Troy Percival from Pedroscope is set yo open September 1rst. It remains to be seen if “The Bomb” will beat its competition and win the weekend.
Arthouse Studio Changes Hands
With these words yet another major shakeup of the HTG power structure has begun. Bulletproof studios, the original arthouse studio, is now in the hands of Rotor while Mattricks returns to Supersoul Cinemas to add even more power to one of HTG’s premier studios. Meanwhile Rotor brings all new maangement to Bulletproof (is a name change in the works). With two other srthouse studios chomping at Bulletproof’s heels the new owenrship should bring new ideas and work to fend off all challenges.
In what has already been an exciting summer of moves and returns no one saw this coming. What more surprises are in store at HTG?
Lucas just finished up on two posters for the upcoming DOWNTOWN event, “The End.” His work is truly amazing and worth every dollar!
