Casting director Jesse Malone is going to send out the breakdown tomorrow. I first heard of Jesse a couple of years back through Louis Savy from Sci-Fi London and the ‘Make Your Mark in Film’ campaign and I was delighted when she applied for this pilot.
Ian is currently working on the design for Max’s bio-suit, since next week we’re having a meeting with the company who are going to build it. I won’t reveal their name until it’s all official, but they have special costume credits on a number of major Hollywood films including Star Wars Episodes I & II, Gladiator and Troy.
And I’m about half way through my first pass at draft six of the screenplay, which is shaping up nicely.

Today I viewed a rehearsal room at 3 Mills Studios in East London, which may be suitable for filming the pilot in. It has the prerequisite overhead walkway and a Tim Burton-esque gin still in the corner which we could incorporate into the set, but it’s echoey and has windows which could be tricky to black out. It’s a viable option though, especially since getting an actual sound stage on my budget is going to be near impossible.
Meanwhile I’m working on the script. I’m trying to simplify it to get rid of some plot holes, but I seem to have created some new ones.
