  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Everything's Eventual: A Stephen King short story adaptation

!!!UPDATE!!!

We just finished shooting the last bit of B-roll and 2nd unit pieces! Also finished all ADR for Dinky, Young Dinky and Young Pug! Next week we will tackle Sharpton's audio as well as bit rolls. The sound on this film is going to be awesome!

With the last of the picture shot we will now tweak the edit with the new footage and lock the project. We expect this to only take a few days, if we put our backs into it! After that it is all about sound, color, music and digital effects.

The new deadline for the project in Mid-August! At that time we will hopefully be able to present to Mr. King and impress him with the picture.

I think I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel!

We got permission from King to adapt this short story but we do not (currently) have any commercial rights. Basically we can't sell it without further permission from King. However we are allowed, and encouraged, to submit to any and all film festivals so that people and fans can see the film. Perhaps with a great final product and some luck we will be able to negotiate another form of release to get the film out to more people!

As to how we got the rights to shoot it, it was just a matter of contacting the right people and picking a story that has no option out on it. Then it just took some time and persistence.

I heard the deal is you've got to pay about $1 for all that.
 
Picture Lock!

Picture Lock!

Hey Everyone,

Tonight we finished all editing of Everything's Eventual and locked the final version of the film!

We added a couple new scenes (that we shot over the weekend) and edited them into the picture. I am very pleased with how everything turned out for this, my first feature. Sound, score, digital effects and color correction should take only a few weeks and then the film is done!

I am very excited for taking this huge step in the production and I can't wait to screen it for all who made it possible!

!!!UPDATE!!! 8-10-09

Hey Guys,

Here's an update:

Things have been taking a little longer than expected (no surprise there, we are a movie ) But, we are making very good progress. Today was a busy day and I met with the composer, sound mixer and digital animators.

The composer is doing a great job in a short amount of time and he wants to have the music for the film done in about 2 weeks.

The sound mixer and I are scheduling the last bits of ADR and are making plans for the design of several scenes. Since sound will be the last part of this film it bares the new completion date for the film which is September 19th 2009. A little past my hopes but the project will only be better for it (I am still very pleased with the film's proposed 14 month turn around from permission from King to completion!)

The digital animators will be handling a couple shots where we need some flies in a window. Hopefully you will not be able to tell between the real flies and the digital ones!

As for the other departments, the digital computer interface animations are coming along very nicely. The compositing for these shots are moving forward in an equally pleasing fashion. I now see the scale of our 80+ interface shots over 30 of which are being composited onto green screened computer monitors!

I am still in awe of the production process, even for a feature of this scale. It is amazing how much work is done in post production and I can see why so many indie productions get caught up in it. I am very thankful for all of the hardworking individuals who are making this movie possible there is no way it could have been done this without you guys!

So it looks like we are about 3-4 weeks out from having the entire picture, picture elements and score done. And then an extra couple weeks for sound. Like I said the new completion date is set at September 19th 2009 and a private screening for all those involved will be held soon there after.

Thanks for your support and make sure to check out the trailer and show it to others either on our site: www.EverythingsEventualTheMovie.com or on you tube at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCEygOJ1Eac. Please tell your friends and/or post links on facebook (J.P. Scott is my name if you want to friend me) to help us generate some excitement for this first feature length Stephen King Dollar Baby film!

Finished up the score this morning. From start to finish about a month! Kudos to you Sid. Currently, without the title sequence, end credits and one other scene (all which are being done by my brother) the score stands at about 50 minutes. There is a lot of music in this thing and it is all very good (IMO).

We have had to split up some of the effects work (mainly composting) to make sure we hit our deadline and that seems to be a good idea.

So the big things that are left are: 30+ composite shots (computer screen replacements), 2 Visual Effects shots, 1 Title sequence, 1 Credit sequence, Color Correction, sound mixing and a little bit of ADR which is being recorded tomorrow.

Getting there!!!
 
Alright, first time here...and this DB simply looks INCREDIBLE! I've been part of the organization of a Dollar Baby festival in Mar del Plata, Argentina, in 2006 (Julie Sands, producer and main actress in Stephen King's Gotham Cafe attended) and saw more than 20 different dollar babies. This one looks simply way beyond all the others!

I'm really looking forward to see more of it!
 
That's a wrap!!!

Everything's Eventual, the first feature length Dollar Baby is complete! The DVDs are in the mail and on the way to King in Maine, I expect he will receive them on Monday.

After 14 months it is finally finished. The film has turned out great and it has exceeded all of my expectations. Thank you to all of the cast, crew, and other individuals who helped make this film possible. I will post more details as they arise.

It's Done!!!
 
Wheeeeeeeeeee!!!! :-D

EE update (4-14-10)

To the cast, crew, friends and fans of Everything's Eventual:

It has been about six months since Everything's Eventual was completed and sent to Stephen King. And what a journey it has been since then! As many of you know, but a lot of you may not, Stephen King viewed the film. Not only that, he enjoyed it! So much so that he allowed the project to pursue an unprecedented commercial release. Specifically, Mr. King wanted the film to acquire major "theatrical" distribution. He even went as far as to use some of his considerable industry clout to get the film on the desks of three huge distribution studios (Lion's Gate, Summit, and Overture) for their consideration.

This is the reason why I have been relatively quiet regarding the film's status for the last 5 months. It is also the reason why the film has not been entered into any film festivals as of yet. I am sorry for keeping many of you in the dark but hopefully you all understand. The film needed to run this course before anything could be announced and before being submitted to film festivals.

Unfortunately, all of the studios have passed on theatrically distributing the film and Mr. King is not interested in alternative distribution (ie. direct to video/DVD distribution). With this in mind, I also requested the "option" or rights to remake Everything's Eventual only this time without the limitations of the Dollar Baby agreement (which forbids commercial exploitation from the start). The option too was not meant to be in the end. Mr. King respectfully declined my request to remake the film for theatrical release. So my friends, it appears that the film's commercial exploits have come to an end.

This all may seem like bad news but there is a silver lining. Since the film seems to have run it's "commercial (for profit)" course, it is now time for Everything's Eventual to be seen by the masses at film festival venues all over the country and possibly the world! Film festival exhibition is, after all, the primary intention of King's "Dollar Deal". So, this is not the end for Everything's Eventual but a new beginning! I plan to submit the film to many, many film festivals in the next year starting almost immediately. If any of you are interested in helping the film on it's festival journey, please contact me. I am in particular need of some one who has a lot of festival experience/knowledge that would be willing to educate me on the best way to get the film into as many festivals as possible.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has been involved with this project. Whether you are, cast, crew, friend or fan, your support is what made the film possible. I hope I have honored all of you with this film which is as much yours as it is mine. It could not have been made without you. And thank you Mr. King for the opportunity. It was great fun and it did for me exactly what the Dollar Baby program is meant to do. I have grown and matured immensely as a filmmaker and as a person throughout the last year and a half. I am proud of what the film, my first feature, has been able to achieve. I look forward to the future with excited anticipation and without regret.

So, one door has closed and another has opened. Another chapter is completed but the book remains unfinished. I think the film still has some surprises for us all. I hope to hear back from many of you and I can't wait to see some of you at Arizona festivals in the future! Please feel free to ask any questions that you might have, I am happy to answer them. As always, thank you for your undying support for the film.

Sincerely,

J.P. Scott
