I saw Angels and Demons on friday, boy was i entertained. Nice movie overall, but Even Mcgregor (OBi-Van Kenobi!) just overshadowed Tom Hanks. Ending was good too, but i am really glad i didn’t read the book cause the actual book sounds more like a What would you do? Episode…cough.
Well, due to the strike n all in the industry, all the Multiplex’s are getting royally screwed (translation: Having big financial problems) , so the movie was only in ONE proper theater in bangalore (Innovative Multiplex burned down to the ground because some one was smoking in the theater and dropped his cigarette in slow motion and the WHOLE screen blew up…anywho its closed now). And REX man..damn sad theater, the sound is like my creative 2.1 speakers at home..and the screen is..as you say..Microscopic. But i enjoyed the movie nonetheless.
I also gave my Learners License test yesterday, oh boy. I passed dont worry…Thanks to my driving school..cough.
I am really looking forward to watching Terminator 4 and Star Trek on the big screen, along with Pixar’s new animated flick “UP”. And life in general is going on well..its great actually…apart from some kid who keeps ringing the bell at my door claiming that he is my son…anywho…cya later.
This is an amazing video about what goes into the making of a larger than life EPIC war sequence, the Visual Effects is done by Magic Arts, for a film called the Ancient Legion, its amazing how they breakdown each scene, showing how they added each element.

what would you do? revelation
Here is a very quick and short update, What would you do? Episode 6 will be known as Revelation (short for What would you do? Revelation).
This has been done to clear some doubts, mainly because the story of the last episode ignores the first three episodes, and considers only from the 4th episode. Basically, What would you do? 1,2 and 3 are separate stories, while What would you do?4,5 and 6 are separate stories but are inter-related. To clear confusion, i have renamed the episodes.
So , This is how its going to be named: What would you do? Episode I , II and III will be the same.
What would you do? Episode IV, V and VI will be renamed to:
What would you do?
What would you do? : Revenge
What would you do? : Revelation
I have also enclosed a graphic for The Revelation title. Tell me what you think.
So basically Pre-Production has commenced (at least in my head) , these posts (anything with the title w6 update) are going to keep you guys updated about whats happening with the production of What would you do?6.
By Monday (25th) we will start with planning the fight sequences, so Arjun, Abraham, Aniket and me will be doing a lot of planning in my house (also making the neighbors uncomfortable). Also, physical training has started (well, it started 7 months back for me, but now it gets intense!). So, gonna eat a Lotta eggs and veggies and increase my daily workout along with a lot of martial arts practice.
And a bit of good news, I got a teaching job in IFX Animation Studio, so now my movies will have a financial backing.
I will be looking for actors soon… So casting will be done by 15th June. Hopefully shooting will be done by end of June.
Well they didn’t, so it has to mean that What would you do?6 is coming soon. Yes i have been notorious about telling you guys that “oh, just a few more months, and i will release the movie” or “We are still writing the script” or “We don’t have the budget” or “Jennifer Aniston proposed to me and i dont want to offend Ross, so i said no”…
But i finally finished writing the script (actually 5 versions of them) and we have a winner! We (by we i mean Abraham, Aniket, Arjun, Barbara Mori and me) are still tweaking the script here and there but pre-production will begin on 25th of this month. Since this movie has a huge undertaking (Fight scenes, Bike chase sequences, Matte painted scenery etc…) a lot of time will go into pre-production.
By the way, my exams are over! (Kenneth removes his shirt, dances to “Shut up and drive by Rihanna” and sits down”) so i have a lot of time on my hands to finish the movie along with other important things like (Grow a beard, Collaborate with other people in making movies, buy new diapers) and ignore less important things like (feed my granny, call my girlfriend and wash my feet).
The Good news is i will get back to regular blogging, the bad news is i will get back to regular blogging ( i know its an overused joke, but HEY i don’t have cute heads and butts like the ZooZoo character on the vodafone ad).
Anywho, will keep you updated on the latest events (My disturbingly infrequent baths are being sorted out by my family doctor..)
Cya.
