News And Notes

Just this and that today --

 

1) Work on the new movie is proceeding apace. Had another conference call between the story team and the movie folks yesterday and another one is scheduled for the movie "core team" (myself, the screenwriter, and the Tinseltown Toons VP) on Friday. Story-wise, this is the best movie we have ever set out to do.

 

2) Surprise hit for BIONICLE this year is Karzahni, who is a top 20 item at Toys R Us.

 

3) DC sent me something nice the other day -- original art boards from some of the 2001-2002 comics. And one lucky BZPer is going to get the chance to win a couple! So keep an eye out in the forums for a new contest, coming soon!

1) Cool, I hope It's done for 2009. Greg, just wondering, If you guys are writing already a script, does that mean just dialogue or at all? (I'm asking this because do the same work avor and over is painful...)

 

2) And there's still people who doesn't like him :P

 

3) Cool! Should we look Storyline and Theories or Comics and Books?

Hello Greg :)

Well that all sounds great, I'm excited about the movie.

Could you wait on the contest for about a week when I'll be able to enter? :P

Huh, sounds interesting.

 

Might enter... for once.

 

Anyway, sweet news about Karzahni... I think it's the Karzahni trap. That's the selling piece. Or the new Blue Great Ruru. -Swert

Great news, Greg! One question-- do you know anything about the production of the other movies? You know, Exo-Force, Castle, and the like?

To answer a couple of the questions --

 

1) The stage we are at right now is called a shooting outline. Basically, it's like a long summary of the movie, shot for shot, but it isn't a script -- the only dialogue that's in it is just for suggestion, it's not actually movie dialogue. Until the shooting outline gets approved, we don't go on to script. Right now, there are changes from LEGO Company that have to be incorporated and also questions from Universal that have to get answered. So the writer is not onto script just yet.

 

2) My understanding is that the deal with Tinseltown Toons does include other LEGO properties, but I am not involved in any of those projects so have no idea if they have been started or not. I do know there are no plans for an EXO-FORCE movie.

I think most people is buying Karzahni due to the two Matoran included in it, and for MOCing purposes. :)

 

The trap isn't really that much of a selling piece. :P

 

And good to hear that the movie is going great! :D

I've been a bit worried about the movie. That it wouldn't live up to my expectations, so I'm glad to know you're working on it and that you like it. What Storyline year is it? 2008?

 

And I want those Art Boards. :D

Yay! Go Karzahni!

I have to say, I'm a very happy Karzahni owner. There really is something for everyone in his set.

 

Good to here the movie is coming along great too! I cannot wait!
