Hey guys, my 1st produced feature The Suicide Theory is just about finished with final edits and will getting 1st look from some pretty big sales agents very soon. Exciting times! The script was originally posted here back in 2008.
The film probably won't be seen by the general public until late 2013/throughout 2014 as it makes its rounds at the mid to major international film festivals.
Until then, we're trying to raise awareness for the film. Your support is much appreciated!
LOG LINE: A tortured artist pays a professional killer to assist him in suicide, but for some reason, miraculously survives each attempt on his life.
The Suicide Theory. Directed by Dru Brown (Sleeper) and starring Steve Mouzakis (Where the Wild Things Are, I Frankenstein) and Leon Cain (Terra Nova, The Straits). A Seven8 Media production.
Actually it looks awful as most low budget movies do. But hopefully the story will carry it through. No offense Spesh, it's still a major accomplishment on your part. MAJOR accomplishment.
Like Pia said, big budget films and indie films should never be compared. And I've seen an abundance of indie films that could put big Hollywood flicks to shame.
"Actually it looks awful as most low budget movies do." -- this is sooo untrue.
And I really like the trailer.
Mike, you already know I'm excited about this, I'm also excited to see how this would be received at festivals. Congrats again!

"No matter what you do, your job is to tell your story..."
Haha, thanks Silverback, I'll take that as a compliment. Tom Hardy actually read the script back in 2008 (the director of a low budget film called The Inheritance took a liking to it, which had Tom Hardy as a supporting actor). Apparently, he really liked the script but, you know, he became Tom Hardy pretty quickly. Then Toby Kebbell (Clash of the Titans, Wrath of the Titans, Warhorse, Dead Man's Shoes), who worked on a few films w/ our executive producer, wanted to play the lead... but he only had a month window to shoot the film as Wrath of the Titans was coming up, and we couldn't have raised the budget in time. But we have some big sales agents from some awesome movies I really liked interested, which is an achievement itself w/ low budget indie affairs... so we shall see, I'm sure it will be exciting...
Haha, thanks Silverback, I'll take that as a compliment.
It wasn't meant as a compliment, Spesh, it was meant as my honest assessment of the trailer. Probably should've just kept my mouth shut and said "congratulations".
Interesting history you provided about the script, though. Good luck with it. Seriously.
