31 Days of DEATH WALKS THE STREETS - Day 7: Drawing from the movies that inspired us, a few homages made their way into the DWTS screenplays and comics. Once of the most notable and obvious came within the pages of DEATH WALKS THE STREETS #0, a little nod to Fred Dekker's 1987 film, THE MONSTER SQUAD when Danielle...
While my annual 31 Days of Halloween feature returns this year on the "normal" side of THE ROCK FATHER site, I'm doing something a little bit different here in the "grownups" section - shining a spotlight on my undying epic from a past life. In 2004, I quit my job to chase some creative pursuits, one of which became...
31 Days of DEATH WALKS THE STREETS - Day 12: There were plenty of weird occurrences when it came to the development of the DWTS project, and while they may have appeared strange from an outsider's perspective (we drew the ire of some other independent filmmakers along the way), from my seat it was even more overwhelmingly bizarre. How...
31 Days of DEATH WALKS THE STREETS: Day 3 - After my co-writer Ben Brezinski and I regained our freedom at the end of 2007, we set out to go a different route with the DWTS project, penning an all-new comic book prequel that was set a few years before the first screenplay, setting up the events of the MASSIVE...
If you think you've heard about this one before, you're correct. Way back in 2004 - years before becoming "The Rock Father," I was working regularly in television and film, and pretty much dropped everything to focus on bringing one of my own visions to the big screen - a genre-bending crime/horror hybrid called DEATH WALKS THE STREETS (DWTS)....
31 Days of DEATH WALKS THE STREETS - Day 16: Back in August, as I sat in the back of a theatre watching TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES (review here), a little bit of familiarity hit me from a weird place - some artifacts in the office of the man who would become THE SHREDDER. One mural depicting an ancient...
31 Days of DEATH WALKS THE STREETS - Day 9: In making DWTS, there was never any "throwaway art," as some prime examples of "cool" seemingly came from out of nowhere. A prime example is this sketch of Danielle and Michael that artist Guilherme Balbi (PREDATORS, SUPERBOY) banged-out during the process of development. While it was never used officially,...
Oh, the oddities of the DEATH WALKS THE STREETS project...
Indeed, there were many, and in a lot of ways we were ahead of the curve in terms "transmedia" marketing and how different pieces would fit into the bigger puzzle. At one point, at least a half-dozen characters from the DWTS world had dedicated MySpace pages where they were blogging...
31 Days of DEATH WALKS THE STREETS: Day 4 - By the time 2008 rolled around, Ben and I were clear of the film deal and on our way to pursuing the comic book prequel on our own. Truth told, this wasn't actually the first time a DWTS comic had been in development. In the early stages of the...
