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!

Reviews and news

Hello all,

We've had some great reviews for AUTUMN come in. Closest to our hearts are JohnnyHorror at Brutal As Hell who gave a review fit for a cult classic, http://www.brutalashell.com/2009/07/film-review-autumn/, and Rich Wolfe's concise review at ObscureHorror.com http://www.obscurehorror.com/autumn.

We also have some really good news that I just can't spill right now. But I can tell you that all of our hard work with this film is starting to pay off.

Thanks for sticking with us everybody! Please remember that AUTUMN has not been released yet and that any downloads you see on the internet or any DVDs you see in video stores are illegal copies. Not only that, they are unfinished versions of the film. We don't know how this happened, but we would appreciate if you spread the word about this. Thanks!

We'll Meet Again...

So, a long overdue update:

We have sent out some screeners to a few reviewers and we will be sending a few more out over the next couple of weeks, the final sound mix still needs to be done, but it is basically the finished, authorized version of the film that the reviewers will be viewing. So those should be surfacing soon. We also hope to have news soon of future screenings and release dates for other countries!

Below is a video that Steven Rumbelow put together as a wave goodbye to David Carradine.

AUTUMN at the Roxy Theatre May 30, 2009!

Okay, we have kept it to ourselves because we were waiting for the Roxy Theatre to announce the date, and now they have! May 30, 2009 at the Roxy Theatre in Saskatoon, SK there is a special midnight showing of AUTUMN. This is the first screening in Canada so spread the word to EVERYBODY you know within driving distance! We'll keep you updated.





















For those of you who aren't able to make it, don't worry this is just the start! More news very soon!

Fancentric Distribution?

Hello All,

Thank you to those who tuned in to the interview last Sunday. If you missed it, you can catch the archive here. It is a pretty cool interview with Steven Rumbelow, the director and Dickon Tolson the actor who plays Carl. There was also a visit from David Moody halfway through.

Now, we have a few things to discuss today. AUTUMN has been a "fancentric" film from the beginning and it is our intention to carry this through in elements of distribution in the UK and Canada. So we have some questions to ask of you in Canada and the UK.

You can answer these questions either in the comments section or e-mail us at autumninfo (at) renegademotionpictures.com.

CANADA
- Would you attend a Rainbow Theatres or Magic Lantern Theatre release of AUTUMN in your area of Canada?
- Would you subscribe to The Superchannel if they aired AUTUMN?
- Would you switch cable packages if need be to see AUTUMN?

UNITED KINGDOM
- Would you be prepared to buy a DVD made specifically for the fans that included behind the scenes shout outs to the fans and every deleted scene?
- What British Television station would you see as best suited to air an indie zombie film like AUTUMN?
- Which British theatre chain do you feel to be most fun and socially relevant for a film like AUTUMN?

Thanks for your input!

Radio Interview this Sunday!

SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY!!! Steven Rumbelow, Director of AUTUMN will be live with Dickon Tolson the actor who plays Carl on NOCTURNAL FREQUENCY RADIO this Sunday, 04/19/2009 @ 5pm Eastern Standard Time. Steve Genier is graciously doing the show earlier so that Dickon can participate at a decent time, as he is in the UK. It is shaping up to be a great show. They will discuss everything AUTUMN, the amazing experience so far and the challenges we have faced. You can also call in from anywhere in the world to ask questions. Click here to listen and call in.

See you there!

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!

Steven Rumbelow Radio Interview

THURSDAY MARCH 20, 2008 9PM EST

David Moody Book Signing

Hello all,

We are very excited to announce that David Moody is coming to Toronto to visit us on set and sign some of his books this week!

His book signing will be Thursday, 12/13/2007, 7 PM at Prohibition on 696 Queen St E in Toronto, ON. Only a few books will be sold, so get there as soon as you can!


Autumn Footage...

Just a quick note to let you all know that we appreciate your comments on the footage, the good and the bad. We love all feedback, as the fan's voice counts, especially on this production. We would like to point out that this was just a taster of raw footage from only the first week of shooting. We have not even begun post production yet, we just wanted to give the fans a little taste. The footage you see was put together very quickly as we are all extremely busy with the shoot. We have only just begun...

Do keep posting your feedback, we love hearing from everybody.

Zombified with love...

The Autumn Crew

Making it easier...

Okay, so some of you have let us know that the original file is a bit too big. So, we have made a smaller version which you should see embedded into this entry.


Let us know what you think.

(How many zombies does it take to change a light bulb?


...100, 1 to change it and 99 to fight over the old one.)

- As told by Dickon Tolson - Actor who plays Carl in Autumn

Do you want to see some footage?

Hey there,

So, for those who might be interested, here is some footage from our first 8 days of shooting, promo style...

AUTUMN PROMO

Keep in mind that it will take a while to load because it is a huge file. This one might be jumpy for some of you as well. But don't worry, a smaller file will be coming in the next couple of days.

Enjoy!

More Zombie Perversions - A Poster Poll

Here is the next item on the menu for the fans of Autumn who wish to participate in the shaping of the production.

*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.

Zombie tattoo?

Do you have a zombie tattoo? We would love to see it. If we like it we will post it here on our blog and if we really like it, we may even find a way to incorporate it into the film.

Show your zombie love! Send your zombie tat pics here.

Clickety-click

"Autumn" sometimes feels like what I call a "clickety-click" production. Very rarely... about once every ten years... in my career... a project comes along where everything falls into place.... clickety-click. The kind of production where when you are shooting, it would be nice to have a snowfall in the middle of summer and clickety-click next day there it is starting to snow as you turn over. Things happening on the research, development and scripting of this film is looking that way. If it carries over into the production itself and on into Post-production there'll be even more smiling faces on set than usual on a Renegade production. Fingers crossed.
