Trish Ellis wondered, about Witchblade and Tomb Raider, "Wouldn't that be awesome to have the two of them in a movie together?" and her friend, H.R. Roach Crystal, replied, Write it, and I will shoot it. Roach has worked on numerous videos including feature films, shorts, music videos as well as much work in the theatre, recording performances. Picking up the nickname Roach in grade six due to a teacher who was unable to pronounce her middle name, Roach was inspired by Ellis question. She decided that it was time to, Go big, or go home and watch someone elses success on DVD. As Sara Pezzini is Roachs favourite kick ass female character, the thought of creating her own Witchblade film, combined with Lara Croft from Tomb Raider and working with her friend Ellis, this was the project to bring to go big on. Pezzini is a rich character, a logical choice for a comic book character to bring to the screen. She's human, deals with human issues, but manages to find a strength outside of her special weapon, that makes her all that more attractive and someone who should be idolized, says Roach about the character. The decision wasnt a small one. They don't make words that define the amount of work that goes into an independent film, explains Roach. While a feature film uses a crew of hundreds and millions of dollars, an independent film gets its funds generally from individual donators or investors, while working with a crew a fraction of the size of a feature. Its about making a movie only with what you have, but, even more, it means focusing on story and having a cast and crew that is passionate about the film being made. Awakenings follows Sara Pezzini, a New York police detective, and current wielder of the Witchblade, after the loss of her love, Concubar. Invited by her friend, Lara Croft, to Britain for a vacation away, instead Pezzini arrives at Crofts manor which is under siege. The two friends are soon involved in a situation that connects Crofts tomb raiding with the mysteries of the Witchblade, which Pezzini wants nothing to do with, blaming it for the death of Concubar. Set to begin filming in April, Awakenings is accepting donations at this time.

That's fascinating. Filmed fanfic!! One wonders, though, just exactly how the rights to this were secured ... and one's cynical side wonders if the filmmakers have even tried to get the rights, or if this is going to attempt to be under the radar? If so, then I'm not holding my breath for this thing actually seeing the light of day ... - -- =============================================== Meredith Tarr New Haven, CT USA mailto:meth@smoe.org http://www.smoe.org/meth =============================================== hear at the HOMe House Concert Series http://hom.smoe.org =============================================== ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.
