Want to see Crank Stomp Become a Movie?

So, apparently Amazon has a movie wing called...wait for it...Amazon Studios.  But here's the thing, they let people basically pitch not only ideas, but completed scripts.  Within forty-five days of submission, they have to execute option rights for 18 months and pay the writer $10,000 or let the option go and I get to walk away.

Oh, you want to know more?  Okay.  If after 18 months they haven't started production, they have to renew for another $10,000 or release the rights back.  And if the movie does start production, they pay the writer $200,000.

Erik...get to the damn point.

Okay.

As some of you know, I've written a screenplay based on my book Bigfoot Crank Stomp titled...Crank Stomp (I'm sorry, the original title still holds favor in my heart).  I've gotten some queries about rights but nothing firm.  So, I figure why not put this script to work and see if Amazon bites.  I still stand by my belief that the movie could be shot fast, cheap, and still be just as awesome as the book without surrendering that B-movie nostalgia.  Hell, that nostalgia almost demands it be shot cheap and fast.  And it would easily make a profit.  I mean, who wouldn't want to see it?

Anyway, if you agree and want to see this book become an awesome Bigfoot rampage movie, here's how you can help.  Click on this link, download the script, read it if you want, and then leave a four or five star review.  Now lots of good reviews don't ensure anything will happen but they will help draw the attention of the Amazon production people who will ultimately decide if they act on the option.

So, here's your chance to help maybe get a movie made and not have to give money like Kickstarter.  Also, tell your friends and family.  Anyone who loves B-movies.  Spread the word on Twitter and Facebook.  And thanks in advance for sharing in this adventure.

Oh, one last thing.  H/t to Brian Keene for bringing Amazon Studios to my awareness.  He's also trying to get one of his books made into a movie.  So, while you're there and if you dig Brian's book, check out the site for Castaways.

Skipp Reviews McKenzie

Badass review by the legendary John Skipp on Shane McKenzie's latest Muerte Con Carne.  If you remember, I recommended you buy this a few weeks ago.  Now you have Skipp saying the same damn thing.  Do it already!

The Crank Stomp Limited Edition is Here!

And apparently selling fast!  Already almost sold out.  So, first, thanks to all who have purchased a copy.  Second, if you want one, grab it now while you can.  From a collecting stand point, this bad boy has the original title and an extra short story titled "Remains" which is sort of a sequel to the story proper.  And it'll never be reprinted.  Anywhere.

So, go buy it while you can!

Anyway...Best vampire movie.  Ever.  I'll say no more.
