Re: DIF Community Project: DIF Road Trip!

Hurry up! My friends and family are excited about my big-screen debut!

This IS getting a theatrical release, right? I mean, the budget for my alligator/wolf hybrid transformation effect alone was staggering. I'm eager to recoup that.

SO. FUCKING. EXCITED.

I mean the buzz about that scene has been everywhere. Although I guess that's what happens when you have to farm out to 3/4s of the VFX houses in the western US and Canada

I still think he could have done it with rubber noses, duct tape and some careful lighting, and spent the money he saved on another million ducks.

Re: DIF Community Project: DIF Road Trip!

You'd be surprised how little difference there is between 4 million and 5 million ducks when it gets put on film. If he had to spend it anything, he should have spent it on practically blowing up at least another aircraft carrier. You know one is good, but 2 man. That's something special.

To be fair, crashing the aircraft carrier through that fleet of cruise liners was pretty awesome too. Having Steven Seagal duct-taped to the front of the carrier just made the scene for me, even if his Godzilla make-up didn't quite cover up all the ham.

Well of course, I assumed this was implied.

I'm still sad that that entire cruise liner convoy subplot had to be cut out, it really was great. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to get that cover of Convoy that NIN did out of my head.

Re: DIF Community Project: DIF Road Trip!

With the time constraints, I'm afraid we might lose a lot of that. But I have a solution: SPLIT SCREEN!

Re: DIF Community Project: DIF Road Trip!

I wonder if it would have been eligible for the 'Best Original Song' Oscar, given the transformation they made to it. I hear Malkovich is annoyed that he won't be eligible for 'Best Supporting Actor', just because he was inside Andy Serkis the whole time.

Peter Jackson optioned the rights to release a 16 hour cut titled "Zarban, Zarban, Zarban!". Expect it some time in 2016.

Re: DIF Community Project: DIF Road Trip!

I've talked that title over with him, because it's not all about me. It's about the ducks.

And the aircraft carrier crashing into cruise liners.

And Steven Seagal in Godzilla makeup.

And John Malkovitch inside Andy Serkis doing a NIN cut of "Convoy".

And you guys.

Honestly, I'd pitch it as "Zarban saves everything!" which covers our token roles as background extras.

Segodzilla vs Zarban and Zarban. Merchandising opportunity, guys.

We design one Zarban, and sell two to everyone that wants to recreate the magic.

God, I hope this is in 3D.

Re: DIF Community Project: DIF Road Trip!

Disney's already secured the rights to turn it into a new land at California Adventure featuring a 4D ride film.

Am I the only one who thinks this sounds like Godzilla turned into a really stereotypical french poet or something.

Re: DIF Community Project: DIF Road Trip!

Just thought, I'm going back home to Liverpool this weekend and that has way more cool looking locations than Preston. Only snag with that is I'll be car-less down there, so if you have no objections to me already being out of the car for my cool location shot then I'll get that shot done whilst I'm back home.

Re: DIF Community Project: DIF Road Trip!

If it's an option, it's probably not a bad idea to get one while you have the car as well.
