OK, first of all, I was in the movie. It was the only movie in which I have ever participated, and after all was said and done, I was incredibly relieved that my scene was cut! I really and truly don't want my name associated with it.
The cast was crap, the writing was abysmal and the production was boring an unimaginative to the n-th degree.
I've met a lot of "celebrities" and many who actually deserve their celebrity status, who have been decent, well spoken and down to earth individuals for whom I have a tremendous amount of respect. I met nearly the entire crew of this flick and I have never encountered a larger group of pompous, self-absorbed, back patting, pretentious, and arrogant group of people in my entire life. They seemed to feel as though they were real actors and that's how actors are supposed to behave. Nope, sorry. Even the chick that wrote the end theme, one of the worst songs ever written, unless you LIKE burning q-tips driven into your ears, thought she was the reincarnation of John Williams, only he's not dead yet, so he was still in possession of all the talent and lent her NONE.
Now for the movie. After the cast and crew were finished congratulating themselves for creating the best movie in history on a purported 600k budget, the movie was taken to this place and that for release and was apparently not picked up by anyone (smart folks out there). This movie was written by Katherine Hawkes, whom I met and seemed cordial enough, but she was flaunting the fact that she has an MA in the Russian language and therefore knew how to write good movies. OK, that's just like saying that I just bought a thousand dollar pair of shoes so I can read in the dark. The two just don't relate to each other. Obviously, since the movie is so utterly and ineffably bad.
There was also a lot of tension among the crew that was interesting. No one seemed to like one of the producers, so "SOMEONE" (not me) trashed her hotel room to scare her off, which it did, so she left, and after that, there was a huge and infinitely more interesting drama going on behind the scenes over the movie's web page and other areas. It's a shame that the drama that took place behind the curtain wasn't the actual movie, it would have still been bad, but better than the movie by a light year or two.
The vampires, were garbage, both the actors and the characters. They went from spoiled aristocrats in human guise to mindless animals in vampire form, which was funny. Which reminds me, when they had the big "premier", it was at the SUPER SAVER CINEMAS at Forest park mall, and they showed the flick with a digital projector. Just sad. It was a clue that it was going to be a horrible flick when the audience, all of whom were either in the movie or a financial contributors to the movie, were laughing at the serious parts and dead freaking silent through the parts that were supposed to be funny. Just sad.
I've seen REALLY good movies made for next to nothing with great story lines, fantastic acting, and magical production values, but this flick couldn't touch any of those movies with a mile-long pole.
So, I am of the opinion that all those they asked to act in the film, the wealthy of Hamilton, including councilmen, and the "Hamilton elite" were lining someone's pockets under the ruse of making a movie. The movie was made, but someone got away with the investment money, the talent, the acting, music, and movie quality, because NONE of that could be seen on the screen.
