“The Broken Imago” teaser has been screened twice this year at the Sitges Fantastic Film Festival. Douglas Buck (director) had the following feedback from the organizers: “The Broken Imago teaser was screened at the main auditorium on October 2nd before the 01:00 screening of “The Collector” (packed – more than 1000 seats), and also on the 7th of October at the Retiro Cinema right before “Black Dynamite”. Reaction was good in both screenings. Sitges audience liked “Sisters” in 2006 and they are looking forward for your new film”.

“The Broken Imago” is currently in the hands of potential investors who are interested in helping us bringing to life Douglas Buck’s vision of a new world to come.

Metaluna Productions and Douglas Buck (”Sisters”, “Family Portraits”, “Cutting Moments”) have wrapped up the shooting of the teaser for the forthcoming feature film project, “The Broken Imago”, to be directed by Douglas. The teaser was shot on Super 35mm (scope) in Argentina. It was, of course, directed by Douglas Buck, with Karim Hussain (director of “Subconscious Cruelty”, “Ascension” and “La belle Bête”) as the DP on the teaser and Rita Romagnino (Doug’s long time collaborator) as 1st AD. The line production was set up by Mulata films of Buenos Aires and the gory FX were designed by Rabbid FX.

“The Broken Imago” teaser should be completed by early july 2008. It will reveal some of the most shocking and still amazingly beautiful and poetic images from the visionary mind of acclaimed director Douglas Buck who’s now working on polishing the script for the feature.

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”.
