Happy New Year Kids!

Hey, hey, hey!

Well it is a new year and it is a new decade. The perfect time for AUTUMN to explode. We are still unable to say who is picking it up, but we will have news on US and UK DVD releases for AUTUMN very soon now. We hope by February or March. Papers are still being signed. Very exciting.

I look at the last post and see the month of August in the date and it seems so weird to me that it was so long ago. It seems like just last week. Well, the time...she still moves, and so does the blogroll. We would like to be a part of that again. We have a few things we would like to share with you in the next few days. Some of you may have already seen them if you are a member of our Facebook group http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/pages/Autumn/53825378831. We will be posting new reviews, a look at the different DVD covers being used in Europe and Asia, and some new behind the scenes pics.

The AUTUMN resolution for the New Year is more content to keep you going until the official DVD releases in the US and UK.

It's going to be a great year!

Spotlight Pictures

www.spotlight-pictures.com
As most of you know, by now, AUTUMN is being represented by Spotlight Pictures. Renegade chose them, out of quite a few companies who were interested, because they are incredibly cool and they get it. They understand the business and they understand the nature of AUTUMN. Renegade is extremely happy and excited about the partnership with Spotlight and we only see good things ahead. They just finished introducing us at AFM (American Film Market)in California and our next stop is the EFM (European Film Market) in Berlin in February. We had a great presence at AFM, which garnered a lot of interest and right now we are crazy, crazy busy trying to get everything delivered, and there is a lot to deliver.

The future looks incredibly good for AUTUMN but we cannot make anything public until the paperwork is signed and delivered. But there is some news we can leak, for the fans who have stuck it out with us, Steven Rumbelow is planning on putting a DVD together with extras just for the fans. This will be a limited edition DVD and only available for a certain amount of time. Steven is extremely busy getting everything together for Spotlight so that they can sell the shit out of our film, but as soon as he recovers and gets some development done for his next two films, he will be able to give me an update about the AUTUMN Fan DVD.

We appreciate that you have stuck with us. With low budget films, there is not as much money to get things delivered at a rapid pace as with bigger budget films, therefore we are forced to go a bit slower. Also, keep in mind that from start to finish, it takes the big guys about 3 to 4 years to get a film out. They take a lot of time in development and prep. We were able to start production in less than a year from beginning of development, which is extremely quick. The big guys also have their own distribution companies, so they are able to distribute it more quickly when the film is completed. Hopefully that helps put things into perspective.

Everyday we are getting closer and trust me, we are working hard to bring this to you. This has been a production that has happened with a lot of good fortune in terms of the actors we were able to get and some of the production values we were able to get and it has been a real pleasure to be part of this film. I can't wait to see the reactions from the fans.

You can see the new trailer on the Spotlight website here.

My Kingdom for a Release Date

Hello everybody. I do apologize for the lack of updates to the blog. Things have been super busy here, not just with "Autumn", but for the whole company. This has made it difficult to keep up with the blog. But this is a wonderful thing, because we have lots of news.

First of all, the release date. Yes, that is a burning question right now. We have some talks going on right now and will be able to tell you more once deals have been made. We had planned on being able to bring news earlier, but a slight technical problem with our screener put us behind about a month or so. We are hoping to be able to bring more news about the release soon. I know it may not seem like it, but the lack of news has been a good thing. You won't be disappointed, at all.

Steven Rumbelow, the director of "Autumn" was on Nocturnal Frequency Radio last weekend. You can listen to the episode here. The first hour he talks about his paranormal show, which airs on the Space Channel, Beyond, the last half is about "Autumn". One of the hosts, Steve Genier, has very recently seen the screener of "Autumn" and you can hear a bit of a review from him.

Also, "Wired Magazine" (www.wired.com) will be putting out an article about "Autumn" in their November issue. Be on the lookout for that!

Thanks for sticking with us!

New Promo

Hello all,

We now have a new promo out, with a couple more to follow. Enjoy!
Also, the site is up and running, www.autumnthemovie.com.

The Rumors are True

David Carradine with Steven Rumbelow(Director) on set of "Autumn"

Hello everybody. Sorry I haven't posted in a while. We have been crazy busy here in the "Autumn" world. First off, yes the rumors are true, Dexter Fletcher ("Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels") and David Carradine (Kill Bill I & II) are in the film. Dexter does an incredible job as Michael and Carradine is amazing as Philip.

I got to watch a lot of the filming and it was insane to watch Carradine at work. He is truly an artist. I have never seen him in a role like this before and I am excited to see the reaction from his fans. Dexter was incredible to have on set and he is a true professional. After seeing him as Michael, I can't imagine anybody else playing the part. He IS Michael. Also, watch out for Dickon Tolson (EastEnders), the actor who plays Carl is amazing and I wouldn't be surprised if we see a lot more of him in the future.

David Moody wrote an incredible account of his visit to the set, you can read it here, www.theinfected.co.uk/AutumnSetVisit1.htm. This report is complete with pictures!

In other news, we are launching the official "Autumn" Site this week, http://www.autumnthemovie.com/. We will also be bringing you a proper promo in the next few weeks.

*Please note that the original limited edition fan poster shown at the right side of this blog will remain as the one sent to those who choose to invest in the movie with the Poster Package or above.

That was fast...

Wow, well the server problems are fixed and everything is back to normal...well, normal for Renegade anyway. Now onto the redesign of the site!

Where is Renegade?

Well, Steven told me that there are server problems with the renegade site right now. The IT guys are working with the host company and they say that it will be back up sometime today. Stay patient kids, I know you are all clammering to access the site. By the way, this happens at a very good time because we have a site redesign happening. Stay tuned....

...back from the edge of the world...

I'm back! Where was I, you ask? Struggling through the bodies of the Autumn world? I am very happy to say no to that one. I have been busy helping around the office and on the field getting things ready for some exciting updates. First of all, Renegade is working on a new website for Autumn and also a very early sneak peak video. That is all I can say for now. But it will be mouth watering. I can tell you that I am drooling to see this movie. It can't come fast enough for me.

Anyway, stay tuned, I may have gone missing for a few weeks, but I am back with a vengeance. And there is tons more to follow.

Zombie Video Stars

We are getting closer and closer to production. Once we get into the really, really cool stuff, we will be showing you videos galore. Videos of the make up process and videos of the set are a given. Candid videos of the cast are also on the list. What else do you want to see during the making of Autumn?

Also, we are still waiting for those of you with zombie tattoos to send pictures. We know you are out there.

Stay tuned as we have some cool things coming up that I can't tell you about yet. Oh, but they will be good.

Bloodee dig(g)s

In our quest to involve the zombie/horror fan community in the making of our film, we have come across a lot of cool people (see the 'friends of Autumn' links to the right). One of them has a cool new site, it is the Digg, Technorati, del.icio.us, etc. for horror fans. Nothing but Horror news, clips, art, fiction, etc...



This is such a good idea. It seems there is just way too much to sift through on those other social sites to find good and original horror content, let alone other horror fans. This brings all of them together. It is your one stop social horror content shop. And it is growing.

They have extremely cool bookmarklets too; , , Bloodee this up.

In your time between looking at our Autumn blog here and the Renegade site, you should check them out.

We want your feedback...

The first draft of the screenplay for Autumn is complete. In our
experiment to involve the opinions and commitment that fans bring to film and TV productions we are gathering information in the survey below to assess what aspects of the book are most important to the Autumn readership.

The only qualification is that you must have read the book, which you can download for free.

The notion of feedback from spectators is not new to film production but it is normally done during preview screenings of a largely completed film. With Autumn we have afforded the reader the respect to take his or her feelings into account at script level.

The survey is confidential. This survey and its answers do not go anywhere outside of Renegade.
Your anonymity is protected.

Please be sure to remember these questions apply ONLY to the first installment of Autumn and no other books in the series. Participants in the survey are asked to imagine they have not read any other books when writing responses.

Renegade wishes to make it very clear that we are not asking for new ideas. It is merely a survey which calls for opinions of the book from the fans. Please stick to the survey and assist us by providing the enlightenment we seek regarding your reactions to the book. If you do insist on sending any new, creative ideas, submitting them in this survey is an agreement that they become the property of Renegade, so please don't send them.

Thanks, keep on eye on our blog, as we will be giving you a closer look at the making of the film for this incredible book.
