Diary of a Muckman, pt.4 – Length Doesn’t Matter
Diary of a Muckman is a news column that had originally been posted on Fearzone.com, where b-movie icon and special effects wizard Brett Piper (the man who brought us dozens of lowbudget horror- and science fiction cult flicks such as GALAXY DESTROYER, A NYMPOHOID BARBARIAN IN DINOSAUR HELL and SHOCK-O-RAMA) shares the most recent news on his upcoming 50s-styled drive-in creature feature MUCKMAN with his fans. Brett is making the movie together with his buddy Mark Polonia and the cast features, among others, former EI Cinema star Anju McIntyre (AKA A.J. Khan) and BACTERIUM lead actress Alison Whitney. Principal photography on MUCKMAN had been finished in November 2009 and the movie is now in post-production. Since Fearzone unfortunately closed its gates for good in late 2009, I asked Brett to move the column over to Bloody Disgusting and, well, he agreed and here we are with the latest news from the dark ‘n eerie swamps of Pennsylvania.
“Over the holidays I had the computer all to myself and got the rough cut of Muckman done. It has a lot of problems which we’re trying to iron out, and there’s still more shooting to do. I’m about halfway through the stop motion shots and other inserts are required, including a few more of Muckie himself. The first cut is short, not quite eighty minutes, but better too short than too long.” (Brett Piper/January ’10)

Post Malone Teams With Platinum Dunes & Vault Comics to Create ‘Fury Road’ Meets ‘Evil Dead’ Movie
Here’s an interesting one for you today. “Post Malone, Michael Bay and Brad Fuller’s Platinum Dunes, and Vault Comics have partnered to create an all-new IP universe based on an original story by the 8x diamond recording artist,” Bloody Disgusting has learned this afternoon.
What exactly does this mean? Well, the plan is for Vault Comics to launch this original genre story as a graphic novel in 2025, with Platinum Dunes developing the film adaptation.
The comic book/movie doesn’t yet have a title, but here’s what we know so far…
The official press release details today, “Blending elements of road thrillers like Mad Max: Fury Road, and demonic horror like Evil Dead, the story is set in medieval Europe, where the only thing standing in the way of the horde of demons infesting the continent is a mysterious armored 18-wheeler seemingly sent back from the heavens.”
“I’m so pumped to share this badass story with the world, and I couldn’t ask for better partners than Michael Bay and Vault to help bring this story to life,” Post Malone said in a statement.
“This is the kind of project you dream about,” said Vault CEO Damian Wassel. “We get to work with an exceptional artist at the top of his game to build a completely original story from the ground up. We have an iconic director helping to guide the creative development. We’re going to bring the world a mind-blowing graphic novel, and that’s just the beginning.”
“I love working with talented people, and Post Malone is incredibly gifted,” says Bay. “I am excited to work with him on such an intriguing idea, and when you add Vault to the mix, it raises the bar to another level. This new IP is just what the graphic world needs right now.”
