Actually I intended to discuss things a bit further last time.
But I didn't have much to say when it all came down to it.
Thankfully, I intend to keep a little production journal as the film progresses.
As well as I feel the need to say a few more things.
Last year, I made an entry discussing the now defunct Xombie movie.

It recently came to my attention James Farr finally stepped out of the shadows in a few weeks ago and gave the low down.
Dreamworks just sat on the Xombie rights for four years.
So now that the deal is more or less expired, the rights are now once again with James Farr.
Rightfully so as I didn't trust at all what Dreamworks had planned for it.
But it's what happened following this.
He went and announced 'Xombie: Death Warmed Over" which from what was said to be 'Season 2' of Xombie.
I was excited for all of ten seconds until I saw it was already canceled the moment I found out about it.

Ok so... they open the funding for it.
And in less than a few short weeks the funding was already closed, and the project was canceled.
At least from what I can gather.
All this flew right under my radar as I didn't even know this funding was taking place.
Where was the info??
I mean sure it was on the Xombified page, but seriously you think something like this would have gotten more publicity.
(Seriously with the lack of updates since 2008 who checked it often?)
And this was an open and shut deal in all of less than three weeks.
Honestly, I would have gladly donated money had I even KNOWN this was going on.
But now since that's an impossibility.
All I can really do is gripe about it.
No while I am not upset with James Farr.
(Dreamworks a bit rather)
It's just I for one want to see the rest of the story that James Farr has to tell.

I think James had a lot of things going on at the time. I heard personal and financial reasons (rumours) played a big part in that. From what it seems now (2014) the Xombie website is up but it hasn't been touched for two years. The forums do not exist anymore and there not a single mention of Xombie on this personal artist's website, I think he dropped this project, wanting everyone else to forget about it too, and they did. Sad, but that is reality.
