I've been working with screenwriter/director Emily Chan on the adaptation of "Killer of Death", a Shakespearean neo-noir stage play written by Vancouver playwright/actor Todd Thomson, which I'm slated to Direct.
All I can say is that it is one of the most refreshing and creatively stimulating things I've ever done. Working with Todd and Emily has been incredibly rewarding.
The play is around 20 pages long, but adapting it to the screen may condense it further. We are very happy to leave Todd the duties of rewriting it into a screenplay, and we are helping him along the way, setting up story meetings to work out any "translation" issues and to give it a cinematic appeal.
Writing progress will be slow, but we dont want to rush it. We want the story to be as good as it gets.
I'll be posting updates as they occur. Im excited!
