The change, does it wrack the bones and rend the flesh ? Yes, indeed it does. But is this pain and agony alone ? No, in fact hardly at all. It is the Sacrament of the Moon. The flesh flows and so do the endorphins. It is, in truth, the agony ecstatic; The Pain That Is Pleasure

Thanks for the welcome everyone.
I just became a member Sunday, so i was ranked as Just Bitten. But i posted 10 times, so in less then a hour i moved up to Dealing With The Change.
But its cool. I still wounldn't mind being ranked as just bitten, but it really doesn't matter.

I could care less if I am a "freak". I don't care what other people think about me. I am me. I am different from the masses of society in unique and profound ways, anyway. Being physically different would trouble me not

Okay, I guess I should introduce myself...
My name is Joshua L. Roberts. I was born and raised in the mysterious land of Oklahoma. I still live in OKC.
I am a screenwriter, and I am a member of the W.S.A.I. (Writers Services Australia International) headed by my good friend Mike Wilde.
I found this site, thanks to a good friend of mine, Gil, who was showing off Anthony's project Freeborn at a sight I've been haunting at (Werewolf.com) for years. Mr. Brownrigg then contacted me wishing me lots of luck on my own "top secret" project, since we are sort of in the same boat. Sort of...
I then joined this site to support Anthony and his quest, as well as to abuse the cute wuffer smilies.
As my sig suggests... Yes I have written a script about werewolves.
Where do I stand?
Well, we have a producer and co-producer, we have the budget, and we have several major studios looking into the project. What does this mean... well who knows. We ARE dealing with Hollywood, and ANYTHING you do in Hollywood takes forever. I swear the place is run by snails, but then again making a movie takes a lot of money and a lot of work, so I guess one has to be patient.
What can werewolf fans expect of the story.
It's beyond imagination.
Okay, okay, my whole concept with the first script, as well as the second, of which I am working on now, is to craft a story by which everyone could enjoy, and not just werewolf fans. Think of it as something along the lines of Star Wars, LotRS, or now even Narnia. A big epic tale that will take you to a world beyond your wildest dreams, or darkest nightmares.

Welcome, Alphanubilus!
Are you saying you've got your own spiffy werewolf movie in the works, just as friendly to lycanthropy fandom? I've already had demon creditors trying to get my soul over something I said before Brownrigg began work on Freeborn! I think my head might explode if two good higher budget werewolf movies come out!
I'm a writer myself. Not yet published, but I've got a manuscript, and I'm not afraid to submit it!

Taking a Gestalt approach, since it's the "in" thing...

My project's title is "Hour of Darkness," or H.O.D. as we've come to call it in abbreviation. It is a huge undertaking that sort of melds, sci-fi, horror, and fantasy into once cohesive platter. You can think of it as, "The Lord of the Rings, for werewolves."Scott Gardener wrote:Welcome, Alphanubilus!

Like, Brownrigg's script, it stars werewolves, but unlike Freeborn, it leans a little more fantasy than traditional horror.
I was blessed with a lot of good sources as I studied various werewolf mythology from across the world. A dear friend of mine is, Brad Steiger, who wrote, "The Werewolf Book." With his knowledge, and my love of fantasy, as well with the consultations of my buds at the WSAI, I created Hour of Darkness.
H.O.D. lends it mythos to Norse lore, with various bits and pieces of other mythologies, as well as my own views.
Of course in doing so, H.O.D. doesn't come without a price, and a very big price it has. The basic financing alone will be at least $80 million, and that is if we film it in Australia. The good news is we already got the financing, as well as everything else all set. One of my best buds, Mike, who is also the president of the W.S.A.I. is set to co-produce. We are just awaiting the final details. This of course means that we have to go with Studio backing. Lion's Gate and Dreamworks have already approached us, while not exactly for H.O.D. and we are, at this moment, dealing with them as well.
Sounds exciting... but it could still be months before we have a solid answer. Big budget films take a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time to get going.
What can you expect from H.O.D. ?
Don't wanna give anything away, but I will say that A. There are both good and bad werewolves. B. No full moon transformations. C. No silver bullets. D. No biting to become a werewolf. E. Werewolf ethnic groups, society, law & order, and a defined culture.
As a teaser I will say this... During the conclusion of the story an army of 6000+ werewolves (unleashing the dogs of war!) marches into battle against a mysterious and most dangerous foe in order to save the world.
Oh, I am also working on part two!

Hey Everyone.
I joined the forums the other day, havent posted anyrthing really but i have been snooping around a great deal and am quite fascinated by the amount of interesting topics i have come across as of now. I think i may even make this place one of my regular territories
So, about me. Im fascinated by anything lupine, canine or lycanthrope. quite obvious really, otherwise i wouldent be here. Its a fascination i have carried since early childhood.
So beyond the basics: I'm a Brit, Im a student at an Agriculture college in Derby, currently studying Animal Biology and Behaviour amongst other things.
My hobbies include going to the Gym and My dogs. I love training them and have grown an extremely strong bond. And have often been asked by others for training hints and tips for their pets
Hmm. I think its about time for another Ego deflate, anyone have a pin handy?

Oh WOW!! I can't wait to see this film!!
As for the 6000+ werewolves, I wonder which will be more expensive. CGI or 6000+ people in costumes.
Also Kimmay and Autowolf.

Chances are it will be mostly CGI at least for the wide shots and such. This will be the director and producer's decision though.
I think most people will be surprised with H.O.D. because it doesn't feel like a traditional werewolf movie, nor does it read like one. It is very different. In truth it's rating will probably fall around PG-13, while its second half could possibly dive into the R area, not really for gore reasons, but because the second story deals with genocide and a lot of really bad things happen. I write for the largest number of people to view it, but the themes will be much darker. It has to get darker before it gets lighter type of thing.
Of course H.O.D. isn't all about effects. It is all about the story and the characters involved. I personally love the story and it turned out better than I imagined. It has a lot of wonderful themes such as growing up, taking responsibility, love, and the ultimate sacrifice.
I didn't write it just for the fans. There is enough material for any werewolf buff to love, as well as enough little story quirks that pay homage to older werewolf films, if you are clever enough to spot them., but the story itself can be obtainable to even those who don't like the genre.
One of the best compliments I recieved was from a big time Star Wars junky who is an author of a new Sci-fi movie book. He took a bit of his busy time to review H.O.D. and he told me that werewolves weren't his thing, but if Hour of Darkness hit the theaters, he would take the time and money to go see it. He loved the script.
