Fallout: Lanius; High Budget Fan Film

[bobfish92]

Very good question. The plot is pretty simple. We are introduced to the man Lanius was when he was apart of the Hidebarks. We learn a little about him, and basically see that he's a man who only lusts for victory. As a character, his only motivation is the destruction of his enemies.

We're going to portray him as someone who even his own people where afraid of. From here, we introduce the Legion threat and the plot rolls into it's finale rebirth/birth of Lanius scenario.

I would say we are linking the plot via action a lot of the time. We don't have huge batches of dialogue or expostion, and I'm trying to do everything visually. I'm only using seasoned actors and stunt professionals, as I want to create a sense of belief in the finished film.

Tonally, it will be subtle, bleak and blood soaked.

Good, I was slightly concered about this as the character is a man of action and if he had been portrayed through a vast dialouge I feel it could have gone very wrong very fast.

The linking of plot via action seems appropriate and it's good to see you're 'admitting' this, as it can been seen as shallow by some because of its general use in films with weak plot carried by the action, naturally I can tell this isn't the case with this project and I'll be happy to see another recent film that does plot via action well and isn't just an excuse to go from setpiece to setpiece. And as for the direct tone; Good, just like New Vegas.

I knew from the onset that this was a tricky character to tackle. So, you kind of need to come at him from a particular angle. The notes I got from MCA really helped put that in perspective. Also, I love the tone of New Vegas, so I really want to capture that in our film.

Hey Everyone,

I've just done a new interview that sheds more light on our film. You can check it out here. http://bit.ly/IcmtQj

It gives more clarification on some things we are dealing with in the film.

Well, Lanius was one of my favourite characters in New Vegas so they better not fuck this up!

I'm curious to see how the "face being ripped off" part of Lanius' life is shown.

I'm not exactly sure, but I think I read that Lanius' face isn't all butchered and that's all talk to scare the legionaries

OT: Quite interesting! Though, I think I'd prefer a film about Caesar cos he seems pretty bad ass in general, (Except for all the slavery and lack of women's right)

Very interesting, I can't wait to hear more of Mitch's voice and I guess we won't be seeing (or only for a short time) the Legion?

I would love to see a film about the formation of the Legion with Edward, Joshua and Bill about their early life, eventual breakup and subsequent formation of the Legion. The creation of the Legion was one of my favourite conversations with Caesar in New Vegas.

Actually, we'll see a bit of the Legion. But, we'll also see a lot of the Hidebarks too. The story is quite contained, so we get a good glimpse of each side of the conflict.

Hey Guys,

Thanks very much for the interest in the film. It's a little way off, but I'm making sure to reach out to the fans early. It's really important to us that we make a fantastic film, so we're working really hard to make it happen.

Just like @TizzytheTormentor and @ChupathingyX, I love the Lanius character. That's why I did everything I could to secure Mitch's involvement. We've already started contruction on costumes and props, as well as numerous re-drafts of the script (it all starts with a good script!).

We've been getting some good press, so it's really cool to see people getting excited about the project!

How long of a movie are we talking about? 30 min? 60 min? A full feature film? Will Joshua Graham make a cameo?

This looks amazing. I can't wait to see it. You have made me want to play New Vegas again. The Legion were always my favorite faction to side with.

The film is 10 minutes long. But, we want that 10 minutes to look like a feature film. It's basically a short film for Youtube. Sadly, no Joshua Graham in this film. I'd like to do a whole film on that guy...
