Steven Samuels Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 2009 Official Announcement Today, Night Raid Productions launches it’s first endeavor into the realm of film, with “The Breakdown”, a fan-fiction written by Maddie, and transcribed into screenplay format by Steven Samuels. “The Breakdown” will follow the storyline of Maddie’s original work which is based upon the album “21st Century Breakdown”, by Green Day. This is straight from the Night Raid Production blog on this little movie myself and another GD fan are currently working on. It is a loose interpretation of the 21CB story, which takes place in the near future where the United States has become a dictatorial state, led by "The New Religion". A fanatical religious group which convinced the country that armageddon was soon approaching and that only they could deliver us to salvation. However after "Judgement Day" came and went, without a single problem, TNR was not so willing to throw away their power, and instead said that doomsday was only postponed. Now a small group of "terrorists" fight to bring the country back to what it once was. Led by Gloria, they fight the "Peacemakers", the secret police, formed by TNR to keep the population under it's ridged rule. However one day, Christian stumbles upon a large wall, with a giant flag spray-painted on and is accused of blasphemy by the Peacemakers. What will happen? Only time will tell... To read "The Breakdown" check these links... Chapter One Chapter Two Chapter Three All story ideas are from Topekachu. I am merely tweaking it for a movie script, then will shoot it.... The blog can be found here, with all the updates. The Breakdown Is Here With all that out of the way, ask away about the production! I'll be happy to answer any questions, as long as they arn't for spoilers.
Fuzz Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Just wanted to leave a note to let mods and other members know that he asked beforehand if it was ok to post this stuff here and I told him we'd leave it open. It could go in some other forums, but I was ok with it being placed here because it does deal with Green Day, and to let more fans know about it.
Dylan. Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Holy crap. I've read the whole first act I guess....depending on if that's all there is. That is just phenomenal. A little short but otherwise very amazing.
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 That sounds very interesting. I can't read it now, but I will when I come home from school.
The Breakdown Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Just had a quick browse through. This is something that i look forward to seeing.
theeulogy Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Can't read it now But sounds interesting..I'll be back to it:)
Empty Laughter Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 sounds interesting I think I'll read it today (:
Just Kate Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 damn, i think you should send the script to Green Day guys. and what they think about the movie. would be so awesome... i think it could work...
Steven Samuels Posted March 5, 2010 Author Posted March 5, 2010 Can't wait to finish the script. Then I go out, buy my camera, tripod, and boom mike. After that comes casting, then costuming, location scouting, pyro/charge testing (Yes, we will probably have a fire or two) and then filming. That sounds very interesting. I can't read it now, but I will when I come home from school. Can't wait to here what you think of it once you read! Again, not my work, it's all Maddie's at this point. I'm still working on scripts. Just had a quick browse through. This is something that i look forward to seeing. Glad you enjoyed. Tell Maddie! XD damn, i think you should send the script to Green Day guys. and what they think about the movie. would be so awesome... i think it could work... Nah, I really don't think that would work. They'd probably just steal it and claim it as their own. (Not GD but Warner/whoever would produce).
Kayfabe Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 there is a typo in the official announcement This sounds great!
Dylan. Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Hey Steven, if you ever finish the movie, you aren't gonna go all John Roecker on us right? You'll release it right?
Steven Samuels Posted March 5, 2010 Author Posted March 5, 2010 Hey Steven, if you ever finish the movie, you aren't gonna go all John Roecker on us right? You'll release it right? NO! I SHALL KEEP IT HIDDEN FROM THE WORLD FOREVER! MUAHAHAH. No, seriously, when this movie is finished. I would love nothing more to debut it on GDC. This community is by far the very best on the net, and it would be an honor to have you guys see it first. I'm really just so shocked at the kindness, and positive thoughts you guys have shown towards this project.
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 I just read it, it's really great. A bit short, but that doesn't take anything away from it, it's not too short or anything. I look forward to seeing the movie.
lizziebix Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Wow! Really liked it. Hopefully there will be more chapters.
Steven Samuels Posted March 6, 2010 Author Posted March 6, 2010 Glad you guys are looking forward to it. Hopefully I can get Topekachu to join up here!
Brian Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 Wow! Sounds awesome! I will take time to read it, but i dont have time right now. But the basic plot sounds amazing! Totally peeked my interest! this will probably change my view on 21stCB
Katarina. Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 Sounds really interesting, I'll read it when I have more time.
Roxy. Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 oh my god, this is amazing. I've been a fan of Maddie's work for quite a while now, and her version is really great. I hope I get to see it once it's done.
Steven Samuels Posted March 7, 2010 Author Posted March 7, 2010 oh my god, this is amazing. I've been a fan of Maddie's work for quite a while now, and her version is really great. I hope I get to see it once it's done. Awesome! I'm pretty excited too. And ohmygosh I am actually getting some lessons in pyrotechnics...So we may get some live explosions in the film instead of CGI!
Rosie May Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 This sounds amazing! I think that's really cool that you're going to film it and everything. edit: I just read the first three chapters, I really like it. It's very visual as well so I'm curious to see how you'll put this togther
Nikki_Nimrod Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 I can't read it at the moment, but i definitely will later. It sounds quite interesting
thoroughlyme Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 Sorry to bump, I just read it and I love it! Question, how are you going to release it? Like youtube, etc? Also,, I'd love to help in any way that I can, but I live in NC...
Li Sa Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 I'll read it soon now I've got something to look forward to
Steven Samuels Posted March 13, 2010 Author Posted March 13, 2010 Sorry to bump, I just read it and I love it! Question, how are you going to release it? Like youtube, etc? Also,, I'd love to help in any way that I can, but I live in NC... Glad you like it. Go ahead and subscribe to Maddie's profile. She's got tons of great GD related stuff. As far as release goes, Youtube will probably be our main platform, but that could change at any time. And if you want to help please don't post about it in these forums. I've left a few ways to contact me on the website for those who do but I don't want this thread closed again. They don't want me to solicit, so I won't. ...and I think I butchered the word "solicit"
