This is a pretty huge announcement to make, and I couldn't be more excited about unveiling this big ass project. My good friend Tommy Forrester has been working on a screenplay for a new film for a long while now, and he's worked pretty hard to get a good cast nailed down, super-sweet locations and the best costumes on the planet.
In this blog post, I'm not even going to try to talk about this film. We'll go into more detail later on, but for now, enjoy this brand-new POSTER and PROMOTIONAL TEASER TRAILER!!!!
Look for more posters coming soon... you'll get a good look at the cast. Before you watch this below teaser trailer, I think it's important that you read this definition:
Melungeon is a term traditionally applied to one of a number of "tri-racial isolate" groups of the Southeastern United States, mainly in the Cumberland Gap area of central Appalachia: east Tennessee, southwest Virginia, and east Kentucky. Tri-racial describes populations thought to be of mixed (1) European, (2) sub-Saharan African, and (3) Native American ancestry.
There ya go! Enjoy:
Be on the lookout for more updates, and wish us luck as we try to make a movie that will shake the whole damn planet Earth to its very core. ...and also give it like 12 of the best orgasms its had since that giant volcano exploded a while back and murdered like an entire civilization.
We're shooting for the stars, man. If we make it to the second floor of the Morristown Library, we'll be delighted. Wait... does the Morristown Library even have a second floor?
More to come, suckas—stay tuned for a quick plot synopsis and tons of pictures of Tommy Forrester's penis! (The REAL star of this movie... Re-read the title.)
Leave comments! Email me! Fight me in a Thunder-Dome cage match!
I love you.

(P.S. Just kidding about the pictures of Tommy's penis. But man... we should totally try that for the blooper reel.)

that looks pretty fuckin' rad!
movie night worthy for sure. but i guess those have to start before i can put up some kind of qualification sort-of-thing. right?
yes, there are two floors at the motown library. i love my face in your poster. the footage gets funnier and funnier every time i see it. i plan on shooting at the cabins tomorrow.
Sometimes I like to think my brain is like a really big filing cabinet. Maybe the biggest filing cabinet ever. That story is for another day, but right now I'm trying to find somewhere to file this. I'll put it in the folder labeled "Awesome/TBD" for now.
Ya know, most movie news completely bores me any more. It's just so hard to care about any of it. I mean, I pretty much couldn't get excited about any film being made unless, of course, you'd told me they'd greenlit the sequel to "Beyond the Wall of Sleep" or that Soderbergh had optioned the rights to "The Slammer." But, having now had the great pleasure of viewing the entirety of both Yellow House volumes (I'm sure you're wondering how I can type this with my brain completely liquified) I have to say I'm so excited for Tommy Don that even my boner has a boner! Hot damn!
Looks good....they need to get me in on this so I can bring some of that Collins anger into the film :)
