Adventures of Peter Meadowdale II ! In the past month, Arben has spoken to the man behind the fern himself, Phil Machi, about Pete's future, the loss of Douglas Adams, and more. Take a look, won't you? No attempt or effort went into screwing with Phil's grammar or spelling, if you don't like it, don't gripe at me
Chapter One - Introductions Arben Anison: Hallo. Phil Machi: hola A^2: How's life, the universe, and everything? P.M.: 42, as usual A^2: right...Y'know Douglas Adams died a few weeks ago... P.M.: NO WAY A^2: ::nods:: heart attack @ age 49 P.M.: thats too bad, man i had no idea A^2: yeah...quite the surprise...www.douglasadams.com P.M.: gracias An Excerpt: P.M.: everyone has their own version of the truth A^2: Would you be willing to bottle and sell yours? P.M.: for a piece of cake...sure ... A^2: thankee. It's something of an accomplishment. Any word on Pete2? P.M.: i just came from workin on the script a few min ago...started casting A^2: Have you decided when production will start? P.M.: yes...we'll probably shoot in August A^2: Who's going to be in it? P.M.: people no one knows...im not putting friends of mine in it...i decided i wanted to try something different for this film A^2: So an open casting call, then? P.M.: and im hiring folks who catch my eye, so to speak...im more or less finding people along the way...i might put an ad in the paper eventually for misc. roles A^2: You once said that the plot for a sequel was going to basically be, "a week later," any more on that yet? P.M.: oh much much more...but im kinda keepin it hush hush until its TOTALLY finished...and i get the "ok" back from my lawyer A^2: So no recurring characters from the first one except for Pete, eh? P.M.: yea...unless i have a small background cameo. most likely it would be Terrell...Marshall will proably appear again, if tahts considered a cameo as well...but other than that. new cast A^2: Do you intend to direct again? P.M.: direct again? yes. it will be more organized this time. ive already got a camera person and they will have a nice storyboard to go off of. A^2: Also, any idea about what it will be shot on? P.M.: thats still in the air at this point. its possible that i might get some funding from independant companies so depending on that ($$$) i dont know yet. A^2: Plans made for crew members? P.M.: umm...do you know Rachel Meklemburg? A^2: Somewhat. (Rachel produced an independent video of They Might Be Giants' Spy from their John Henry album.) P.M.: she's workin the camera A^2: Any other info you can give out yet? P.M.: lets see...one of the main actors is flying in from Illinois...it will be made over in the fall...oh, and i made the new logo...but its not up yet cuz im at home A^2: So you plan for PM: Episode 2 to beat SW: Episode two to the screen? P.M.: definitely A^2: when are you hoping for? P.M.: this will be done by October...2 weeks of shooting then editing for who knows how long...not to mention the live orchestral recording of the score...then..off to the film festivals...*cross fingers* A^2: Longer than the first one? P.M.: probably an hour at most...at least 40 min...thast the idea anyway A^2: What became of the first one, past the initial screenings? P.M.: it was shown at the Bowling Green annual film fest and in florida at a private screening A^2: To much acclaim? P.M.: come again? A^2: To much acclaim; praise, revere, applause, laughter, accolade, or violent shooting deaths? P.M.: where at? Solon? A^2: BGSU or in FL. There's video of the Solon crowd's reaction... P.M.: it went over very well. but the BG event wasnt advertised very well so the turnout wasnt as expected A^2: I think the question that most PM Fans are wondering about is whether or not there will be space for a certain Mike Ciarlillo, commonly acknowledged as the Coolest Guy In The World, perhaps as an extra somewhere, in the event that the role of Peter isn't open. P.M.: you guys thought that Ciarillo was gonna take on the role of PM? A^2: Must've been one of those crazy internet rumors... P.M.: well...as of now, he's on staff for crew...as for a cameo....that's yet to be discussed. A^2: well, he *IS* pretty cool... P.M.: oh i agree im just not using main characters from the first as different main characters for the second A^2: Well then, that's all pretty fantastic. We'll have to talk some more after word comes down that you can discuss your own script. P.M.: well...its near completion. it will be finished at the latest by june 18th A^2: Be seeing you. P.M.: have a good night NaviGraphics, Web Design by Arben Anison © 2001 NotArt. |
