Douglas Buck deals with Metaluna
Metaluna productions signs to make Douglas Buck’s next feature film! It is a long-time dream project for Buck: “I had originally mentioned the story to (Metaluna co-founder) Fabrice Lambot about eight years ago, before he was even involved in film production. I had forgotten I even told him about it when he suddenly called me from France last month and said “Hey, we’ve started a production company with Jean-Pierre Putters (founder of French mag “Mad Movies”), we’ve already done one feature film (”Dying God”) and some short films and we’d like to do yours next. Remember that story you told me a long time ago?””.
Metaluna productions has commissioned the writing of the script and is hopeful to be in production, with Buck directing, by winter 2008 most likely in Argentina. Details are sketchy but Buck will say it’s a “low budget sci-fi film, in the million dollar range, about a group of kids on an isolated island and a peculiar virus transforming the world. If I had to make a comparison, I’d call it ‘Lord of the Flies’ as made by David Cronenberg. A Nature’s Revenge movie”.
