[B][SIZE=1]Maybe you could have a Special Thanks thing in the credits with something like "All my friends at Otakuboards.com". I dunno... Really i don't care...

I suppose it wouldn't take more than 3 years for everything to be set up...

Do you have any idea of the actors that'll be playing in it? [/SIZE] [/B][/QUOTE]

Ok to answer your first 3 questions Zeh, first off I can put that in credits though an actually site address will infact cost the admins of this site money. ;)

Second thing, the project is pushing for a 2005 release though, even that is not finalized, since Post Production can take a very long time especially with films that are very highly CGI demanding.

Last question -_- I have no real clue on that so far, its been bugging me but I can't make a decision till the movie budget talks are finalized tommorrow. Many actors demand high rates to appear in a film, so the chances of having more then one big name attached to Roti none the less 2 my not see the light of day. However in all honesty I'd like to see Sean Connery play the role of Rikoshi....though even that actor could be severly out of my league.

I was going to ask about the animation or live action thing as well; I'm just hoping it's possible to pull all this stuff off in live action, even with today's technology.

As for your question Syk3, most of the stuff proposed for the film is possible with today's effects. However, the last scene in the film which unfornately I can't describe due to contractional clauses is going to give me a lot of trouble...though if pulled off it could set the standards for movies in this day and age.

Lastly for the people who PMed or Emailed me today, I can not discuss major story issues on the net. I'm under contract now, and talking or posting anything about major plot details violates the contract. So once again sorry about that you'll just have to watch the film when it comes out.

Sorry to be reviving this thread, but...I feel the need to uncover some misleading information. Also, I do not enjoy seeing innocent people being made into fools.

Kevin, upon reading your claim that Miramax ([url]www.Miramax.com[/url]) picked up your script, I clicked on over to their site. I couldn't find anything regarding your script. And I checked the site very thoroughly.

Next, I searched on [url]www.ProjectGreenlight.com[/url] (which had a link right from the Miramax homepage, might I add), a place for budding screenwriters to submit a script to be picked up, and I couldn't find anything on your script. Check out the Top 250 of their most recent screenwriting contest, dated 2003.

Here's the winner:

Here's the Top 250:

Finally, I searched on [url]www.imdb.com[/url], a very comprehensive movie listing site. I searched for "rage of the inferno," and "ROTI," in both the mainstream AND Indie sections. I didn't find anything remotely close to yours. I strongly urge people to go search for themselves.

So, Kevin. I ask you: "Why do you insist on playing these innocent readers for fools?"

It's one thing to pompously post an unpolished story. It's something far worse to falsely claim it's being made into a movie.

Please, stop spinning this ridiculous fantasy.

Thanks.

P.S. This is not a vendetta. I have no quarrel with you. I just don't want this disgrace to continue.

AH! No way! I cant believe this! This is actually blowing my mind, Kevin, the guy i used to speak to (i wondered why you hant been on so much then today i just noticed you have a new SN :p) is actually having is script made into a real movie! I didnt, unfortunatly, get to read that script of yours but i remember you spoke to me about it and also helped me with my anime knoledge. Wow, this is such great news! Like Roxie said, if your anything like you are online in real life then you will get on with this career and take it very far. Well done mate i am so happy for you, i can't wait to be sitting in the cinema with my mates telling them how i know you lol. They'll think i'm a liar lol. Anyway, Sean Connery is the same nationality as me ^^ and i know this girl who is his brother in laws son or something like that ^^. He is pretty old now, but still rocks the casba, well done again man.

Congrats!

Thank you, DeathKnight. I'm glad you aren't part of the herd.

And we mustn't forget how Kevin immediately blocked me from his buddy list on AIM after realising I had critiqued his story, and how he's ignored my offers to discuss this with him, both through Private Messages and relay AIM through mutual acquaintances,

How petty and childish he is acting after his bluff was called,

And how he refuses to discuss it on this board, but would gladly discuss it on his because he has the power to ban.

I also recall my critique on AE boards was immediately deleted and my IP address was banned from those forums.
