Yeah so I'm in a movie that's coming out this spring. It's a horror flick that Bloody Disgusting wrote an article about (we're also in Fangoria, on Space Channel in Canada, and Electric Playground's doing a story on us soon).
So go see it.

Sweetness.
Sounds pretty good.
When's it come out?
-
This spring.
When exactly is the spring in yor side of the world?
-
We shot in September and it was estimated to come out in 6 months, so that would make it about March.
-
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiit.
David Hayter?
-
Hey, awesome!! Congratulations!
-
Neeeeat!
How much are you in it?
-
Awesome!
-
Neeeeat!
How much are you in it?
Same question. Still pretty awesome! =D
-
So, which minutes and seconds are the nude scenes at?
-
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiit.
David Hayter?
Jealous. That's the word that best describes me.
-
I am impressed. Most impressed.
Now get a photo with Hayter.
-
I'm one of the leads actually :) I had to learn Japanese for it so you won't actually hear me speak English, but, yeah...I'm in it a lot. I'm not the protagonist, though.
And here cause you asked (this is from the wrap party- my eyes look weird in this. The other photos I have have spoilers and stuff so I can't post them).

In the words of the almighty Hayter-immitator Egoraptor:
"Hotness I wanna bang you!"
But I just needed an excuse to use that line.
Wait, let me shoop something...
EDIT: Beh, too much work for a simple joke.
-
Ha! But yeah, that.
-
Literally the best thing in the entire world.
-
Congratulations! I will be sure to drag my roommates to see this. :D
-
I'm in the movie too, don't forget about me.

I'm in the movie too, don't forget about me.
Sorry, what?

Sorry, what?
Sorry, read?

Can you elaborate a little bit?
I have no clue who you are.

I've been here longer then you kiddo. You have introduce yourself to me.
-
And I'm not a lurker with less than 150 posts.
Can you please just answer the question?
-
Stepping in. Rik, you should chill out a little. He doesn't know you (and neither do most people) because you have very little presence around here. Don't just drop in, claim that you deserve recognition, and neglect to let us know who you are or why you're special. Not saying you're not deserving, but a screen name and a birth name are pretty different, and it's unlikely the two will be connected. Now then, who are you, and what do you have in common with this project? I'll give you kudos in advance.

Don't be a douchelord. Everything i've been saying have been facts. And you know it.
Now, I just said I'm apart of a movie. Just thought I was being helpful to the topic, sorry. I'll go away now.
And I'm not a lurker with less than 150 posts.
Can you please just answer the question?
So if I had 1,000 post would it make it any better? Give me a break. Answer my question? Don't judge me. Rainbow kitty.

Well, when you have posted 4 times before today (in four different months) since a lot of the current members have joined... its pretty expected that you'll fly under the radar. And, most of your posts have been one liners only adding a little phrase to the conversations. So you haven't given anyone time to get to know you. What's funny is that even after two members who have been around only one month less than you asks you who you are you don't answer and still don't get that no one knows who you are. Archem asked you very nicely to reveal who you were and you called him a douchelord. Where is the politeness in that? Anyway, if we know who you are then we can better congratulate your efforts in the movie.
-
I'm pretty sure he's just being a really shitty troll at this point.

I've been polite, I think my post was misinterpreted as sarcasm, sorry for that. But if I made a "I'm back post" you think anyone would really care? Be honest.

Troll? No Fruckert please stop judging me.
To get back on topic, its very cool that a charas member is an actor. Now you got me nervous to make any relevant post to this topic, thanks for the cyber bully Fruckert, appreciate it. You're very intimidating.
-
I asked you a question that you refused to answer, is all.
Just wanted to know if you were being serious about being in this project.
Then you started being a dick.
-
Love how this new (see: old) guy used Archems sig in his post.
Anyway. The interesting part is how you and Zerl were in the same project and didn't know about it.
The correct question would be: What was your role in this movie? Were you an actor or screenplay writer? Something else entirely?
Fact is that we don't know you, been a while since you stopped by. Your name, age, homeadress and stuff ain't that important (maybe to Zerl if she wants to stalk you down).
Anyway.
Grats on being in a movie with David Hayter Zerl! And that you got a big part in a horror-ish movie!
-
Well, this was entertaining.
And congrats on being in a movie, Zerlina!
-
Does this make you the most successful person on Charas now? :P
-

One film, successful. Get a load of this guy.
-
You're missing the key words.
On Charas.
Considering that...yeah, I think she's the most successful.
-
Right, you're killing the thread right now. I'll ask once more: Please tell us who you are in relation to this film, or please stop irritating our other users. Any further ire will be met with post deletion in an attempt to maintain order.
-
Rik, it's very easy. What's your first name, what did you do, and what's the name of the director's daughter that he always brought to set? Once you answer these I think people will leave you alone.
And also thanks guys :D.
-
Yeeeeah, I guess I have to see this now. Is it sci-fi original quality? Or am I gonna get murdered for even considering that a legitimate question?
Also, way to be a dick, Fruckert. You're such a bully. I don't think you know your own strength and intimidation. What with your biker goatee and all. Tone down the badassery.
-
There is very little CG special effects from what I understand. They wanted to do it old school.
The guy who did the prosthetics is the same guy who did the prosthetics for the Silent Hill movies.
-
Alright, so I'll raise my expectations from "sci-fi original" to "legitimate movie production".
-

Dunno, considering Fredrik (Red Fox) has his own company and Dominic is finishing up his novel. Plus, Raffles became prime minister of the UK.
-
I don't talk to either, so I didn't know about that.
So I stand corrected.
-
Eh, I think more people will be watching the movies Zerl is in, than playing Red Fox's games or reading Dom's novel. Also, this isn't her first thingie, and won't be the last, either.
-
I'm too busy inventing outer space to give a **** about either of them.
I do miss Red Fox, though. Dude was cool.
-
Plus, Raffles became prime minister of the UK.
You've no idea how much I laughed at this.
Zerl, how wide is the release on this thing going to be? UK cinema is woefully lacking in anything that isn't the usual Hollywood shite, plus I want to sit at the back of the theatre with a big cigar and say EY I KNOW DAT BROAD.
-
XD Yes of course! He is Cameron!
-
plus I want to sit at the back of the theatre with a big cigar and say EY I KNOW DAT BROAD.
This is probably the best idea I've heard all day.
-
It depends on who picks it up. As far as I know there are distributors for Canada and Japan and right now they're in talks to pick one for the U.S. As for Europe I'm not sure.
Likely it'll be on megavideo though, so you can stream it if all else fails.

Let's all play nice from now on.

drenrin hasn't played mario 1.

Nice. Seems a lot more real to me now.
Good to see you're going up in the world ^^

Lookin' good!

haha >.> i dunno about coolest. As we speak I'm eating a pie I made straight out of the baking sheet, playing skyrim and sitting on a pile of laundry I should have folded yesterday...but...sure! I'll tell you what I can without giving anything of the film away.
They originally sent us a bunch of sides (the scenes you get for an audition). I had another audition that morning, but I really liked this one. They gave me the option of reading one or both Japanese characters. There was a heat wave at the time, so I was going 2 hours into the city in a schoolgirl uniform (with knee socks :(), and I was so pissed off by the time I got to the place. When I got there the casting director told me I wasn't allowed to audition because they only wanted to see people who spoke Mandarin or Japanese, and I didn't speak either. I told her that I was good at phonetics and that my agent double checked if that would be ok. She insisted that she never said it was ok and it must have been a mix up (to this day I don't know exactly what happened but I guess there was miscommunication between the two of them). I argued with her until she finally said she'd let me read since I came all that way. I got to meet her a few more times after this and she actually turned out to be a really cool lady, but my feeling at the time was sort of like "I JUST CAME TWO HOURS HERE IN FORTY DEGREE HEAT, LET ME READ OR I WILL END YOU!"
Anyway, suffice to say...I think it worked for me...
A couple hours after the first audition I got a call from my agent saying they wanted to see me again. They sent us the same sides in three different languages. I had to learn it in Japanese (I'd already learned it slightly differently in Japanese), Mandarin, and Cantonese in three days, and be able to perform it in all three + english. In the end I focused on the Japanese lines because I knew that they were originally intending on using Japanese, but I also learned the Mandarin, Cantonese, and English sides. I skyped with my friend who had just moved back to Japan and he helped me improve. At the second audition I got to meet the girl playing Suki, and funnily enough we were both thinking "please don't let her be a bitch, please don't let her be a bitch" before we met each other. She turned out to be one of the most awesome people I've ever met.
At the second "audition" we found out we'd already been cast and they were just testing us together. They also brought in girls to be my stunt double, which was really cool.
I read the script and I really really enjoyed it (it's very different from most horror films), but I was intimidated about speaking Japanese, having to sound like a native speaker, and still being able to give a good performance. They set us up with a tutor, though we only had one day of tutoring (about three hours), so the three of us that needed to speak Japanese needed to be very good about writing things down. The tutor was also there some days during filming (though not all of them).
Dave is very nice, he was very kind and like a big brother to the younger actors on set. He's really a great guy and not pretentious at all like you might expect from an LA actor. Most of the crew loves MG so he sometimes did the voice just to brighten up their day. I remember I was in the honeywagon and I was playing Braid (the screen was facing away from him), and he turned to me and said "What are you playing?" Then shaking his fist he said "It better be Metal Gear!" He had a real sense of humour about things and about his fame. Honestly if you're going to be a fan of anyone, be a fan of him because he's such a nice and talented guy.
The filming experience was great, though it wasn't easy by a long stretch. We were outside mostly for night shoots in Canada at the end of autumn. The temperatures were dropping below zero and we had to do a lot in nightgownss, including running down stretches of road over and over again as fast as we could go. By the end my ears felt like they were going to fall off. The worst part was probably when they would douse me in fake blood, because the blood was cold and it didn't dry (and I was already freezing). There was a blanket I could wear but it was a fuzzy blanket and the fluff from the blanket kept getting stuck to the blood on me and under my nails, and in my shoes, it felt terrible. I was also injured a couple of times. But this by no means means the experience was terrible. It was probably the best month of my life, I had so much fun, and wish I could do it every day! Except with Terra I've never been on a set for more than two days, so it was strange but also wonderful to play one character for so long, and to be able to actually build an arc for her. Because of the sheer amount of time I was able to spend with her, I was able to discover mroe about her than I would if I were only with her as a dayplayer. I was also able to speak more with the director and ask him what he wanted. By the end the whole cast and crew was like a big silly family. I didn't mind waking up at 4am to go to work because I knew that I was going to be able to see them all and also that I was going to be doing the thing that I love best.
I guess you could sum it up like this: It wasn't an easy set, but it was a wonderful set! And on the final day, I wrapped around noon, changed, and went to class. My legs were still covered in blood and people were staring at me when I walked in. But I just sat down, listened to the prof, and thought "man...real life is really lame..."
-
Sounds great. I think I may envy you...
Now then, back to being the real coolest person on Charas.

MT11! My favourite brit besides the other one!
-
Okay, Zerl. That's friggin awesome.
And...
As we speak I'm eating a pie I made straight out of the baking sheet, playing skyrim and sitting on a pile of laundry I should have folded yesterday...
If that doesn't make you the coolest, I don't know what does!
-
*Becomes depressed*
pretty much... =( Honestly though, stop being so good at making me realize how much more game I need to start bringing to my day to day life.

I don't care if I have to drive 100 miles and pay for the ticket by selling some homeless man's only torn and battered blanket, I am going to see this movie.

I wanna see too.

You heard it here first! Torrenting this film is totally cool!
