The Last Ninja Movie
Posted: 23/08/2006 - 20:57
Hiya, hope its ok me posting in this section, thought what I have to say may appeal not just to mixers but also other C64 enthusiasts.
Anyway firstly, introductions.
My names Joseph Tan, a writer and director from Middlesbrough, England.
For the past few years I've been writing and directing my own feature films in and around the area. It started as a bit of a hobby which has now grown out of hand and now the company (Gore Cartoons) employs 30 actors, bands / composers and special effects guys for future films. All our films are made with no intention on ever seeing a profit and the biggest budget we've ever had to juggle was 200 pounds.
My first film, titled Gangsters In Love was released in March 2006 and todate has been given some pretty good world-wide reviews. My second, titled "Time To Kill" is due to wrap shooting in September and thats why Im writing here.
I've decided that my third project should be, you guessed it 'The Last Ninja', a feature film based on the original C64 design. It wont be a 100% port mind, that be crazy (and boring) so instead I am taking the story, puzzle elements and iconic moments (such as the dragon) and building on them to create an interesting and exciting film.
At the end of the day though Im just a fan who wants to see a film based on the game made and as a fan I know that Im not the only one around so, I need suggestions, ideas and help to visulise the film.
The film itself will be shot on a green stage and the enviroments created digitally by effects wizards spanning the globe. A cast has yet to be decided but the funding is already in place.
What I need most at the moment is a core remixing team, designed to turn those fantastic SID tunes into high-quality orchestral peices. I'd also like suggestions on how the script evolves as I write. The film is being made by fans for fans and its only fair that all those fans get a say.
Writing will continue until around January. Were due to start shooting in early February / late March. Here is a link to a doc file, the current version of the script.

Last but not least here is a mock-up (very badly made) of what a film based on 'The Ninja" may look like ::
