I think “Under The Skin” may be quite overrated. If you’ve seen “Life Force”, you’ll get the same kind of pomp and hardcore sci-fi. If you want more titilation, then watch the “Species” franchise. I don’t doubt “Under The Skin” having some cool artsy sequences, but it’s possible it can become blase, if it isn’t already. No one comes up with anything new anymore. The fact that you get presented with an eyeball in an extended camera pull back should be enough clue, it’s done to death. (more…)
The story I’ve been working on, but will never see the light of day… Because no one wants to see a mighty Asian-American superhero. Especially one that wears red and is the good guy. The bad guy wears blue. That would be a first in American story telling (as far as I know).
So some would ask: why not just make your hero wear blue? Well, it would lose a lot of the meaning behind the design of the character and story, wouldn’t it? Of course, the deeper meaning is only one aspect. There’s also action, drama, romance, time-travel, betrayal, explosions, all the makings of a blockbuster. All the while erasing Asian-American stereotypes with stylized stereotypes.
