Re: What's in a Name?

Thanks for all the positive comments! You really know how to make a girl feel good.
Snysu, when I wrote this, I was intending for it to be just a few days before The Phantom Menace began, their last mission together, so to speak. It was my idea to have Taedano waiting for him when he got back from Naboo so that they could finally get married. I thought they might live happily together on Coruscant, with Taedano working in the Temple as a healer while Obi-Wan flits around the galaxy with Anakin in tow. Not much material for a sequel there!
But in an alternate universe, anything could happen.

Awww...
A sequel's possible, but Taedano CAN'T die. Right?
Jane Jinn, you have a nice theme there, how obsession with beauty can cause people to overlook many other things.

Yes, my point exactly! She is a fabulous character, and we all know that Ben Kenobi was at peace (with everything except Anikin), as aposed to the young Obi-Wan Kenobi. How else could he have come to terms with all that had happened without the wonderful love of his wife, Teadano?
(BUT NO DYING!!!)

Re: New Star Wars Fan Film starting in Chicago
|
Well I've sat on this long enough I think.
Come one, come all.
Title: Star Wars: Evolutions
Synopsis: Discover Darth Maul's hidden past (see notes)
Running time: 40 minutes
Production dates: Pre-production has already started. Principle filming in September and October (will be shot entirely on digital video)
Talent needed: Principle characters, Supporting roles, Extras and walk-ons
Technical Needed: (I really need a good line producer but it's not necessary), Camera operators, Sound design assistant, CGI assistant(s), Boom operators, Art Director (man I would KILL for an Art Director), Set Builders, Design Assistants, etc. (experience not necessary for most technical positions)
Notes:
1. The script will be finished today. It's tight and gritty. It's being doctored by my Dad (the director) and Brother (Director Photography) who are both published writers.
2. My family alone has over 50 combined years of theater experience and 8 combined years TV/Film production.
3. The story is a big what-if. I researched everywhere I could find on the origins of Darth Maul and all I found was a timeline stating when he was taken as a child. If anyone knows of a more detailed history I would be happy to see it and decide if we're going to work it in or do the "alternate universe" thing.
4. We are being careful with this one. I am taking as much time as is needed to do things step by step. My team and I agree that there's only one way to do things (the right way) and we only want to do it once.
5. Most of the principles have been soft-cast, at least in my head. My brother wants to be DP and do Maul at the same time. I'm not sure if this will work. If I get a good guy that fits the vision in my head he may find himself with the lead role. It's not like any interested actors are walking into a pre-cast situation in the least. The Director will have final say on all casting decisions.
I think that's about it. This is a serious project that has already begun. If anyone out there is interested I would be happy to mail out my treatment for perusal (it will also be posted on the website when that gets anywhere close to being done). If you are in the Chicago area and are interested I can mail you a copy of the screenplay and we can talk.
The game is afoot!

Hi ! It is actually quite frightening how similar I look to Dart Maul, I could be Darth Maul when he was younger ( I am 15 ). I have acting experience, I live in Canada. Contact me at rogue36@home.com

Hey I know this guy that has a lot of info on Darth Maul..he's up in northern cali..goes by the name of George..
seriously though...the movie was just made last year. The only info you'll find that's not from the big guy himself is what some timeline writer or book author decided to make up for maul..so just make up your own origins.
it's a FAN film..be the fan and do what you want.

Great point Flaco. I think my biggest fear starting out was that I'd release the film and all the "uber-fans" would inundate me with scores of email stating that "Jedi's only part their hair to the left" or "The film was fine but Maul spoke with a lisp until his 22nd birthday".

Hey,
I'm in Michigan, about 4 hours from Chicago, but I make the trip regularly. I'm also making a film - maybe we can talk offline?
