But it really is a failed opportunity to do a cool cowboy movie poster. Why give it the future/Transformers/videogame techno blue hue treatment?

"Make it look more like an X-Men poster, and while you're at it, insert some lense flares and use that really retarded looking Spider Man font!"

Anyone want to link this guy to the endless mocking that accompanied the entire Watchmen campaign?

I guess the idea of having two horribly maimed leads would have been considered unmarketable, even though one only has to look at Amy Acker on Dollhouse to see that hot women with scars are still incredibly hot.

"I don't know how exactly you could use a dame as hot as her 'incorrectly,' but I'd sure to spend a weekend in Las Vegas with her trying to figure out how..."

Having made two films that required extensive make-up (for their budget), I know what a pain it can be if the effects don't look right on camera, and how distracting they can be from the characters. HEX is such a grotesque character that I was initially affraid the filmmakers would pretty him up, but it sounds as fi they understand that Hex's character comes from his hideous appearence. He knows what he looks like and does what he does because he's learned not to care what people think.

here's a tip: stop casting billy idol-alikes in your silly genre mashups that are guaranteed to have effects that look like they were generated in MS Paint.

no No NO!
...and I never will.

1) How do I get to be involved in these pictures? I promise you I could make "Alien Western" work.
2) Why would you shoot a cowboy movie in Romania? I mean, it's cheap, obviously, but aren't there cheap places to shoot that actually resemble the American Southwest? Like Mexico, or somewhere?
3) I don't really have a three. I saw a movie yesterday on SciFi about a man that got wolf powers because he was in an accident and scientists gave him WOLF EYES.
Presumably, no one had informed the scientists that wolves don't really see that well.

1) Get a SAG card.
2) It's super cheap.
3) Wolf eyes work better in humans.

1) I don't want to be an actor in the SciFi movies, I want to write them. Also, I'd be willing to bet they hire scabs whenever they can, anyway.
2) Lots of places are super-cheap! What about Argentina or Chile? DID THEY EVEN CHECK!??
3) And humans, apparently, work better with wolf eyes.
11/24/08
that's impossible, no one can survive a screening of any of the movies aired on SciFi.
11/24/08
Maybe he turns into a wolf? Maybe he eats the paramilitary guys that were (inexplicably) chasing him? WHO CAN SAY?

MAN WITH SHARK EYES versus SNAKE is going to be the next SciFi Original Picture. It will be followed by its sequel, MAN WITH SHARK EYES versus TWO SNAKES.
11/24/08
My money is on the two snakes. Did you see Anaconda? Snakes are freaking terrifying.
Also, I'm going to start calling you Shark Eyes instead of braak. That cool?
11/24/08
(I am writing a movie right now about a man with SHARK EYES who has to fight the internet. SciFi will pay me fifty dollars for it.)

Also Sci-fi is tricky... did they every say the old west of where or what?? It's really a movie about the old west of Romania... so it's really authentic to film there.
