De Palma Among Trio in Line for Paranormal Activity 2

May 26th, 2010

Word is Brian De Palma (Scarface), Brad Anderson (The Machinist) and Greg McLean (Wolf Creek) are the three directors Paramount is courting to direct Paranormal Activity 2 following the unceremonious departure of Kevin Greutert whom Lionsgate forced back into the director’s chair for Saw VII in an example of sheer pettiness. Based on pedigree alone I would expect McLean to get the gig, but either way we should have an announcement soon as the set October 22 release date looms. [Los Angeles Times]

RIP Jack !

THE TRINITY SECRET

May 17th, 2010

My good friends Marie D. Jones & Larry Flaxman have their new book THE TRINITY SECRET available for pre-order on Amazon.com!

 

April 15th, 2010

Bruce Lucas, a commercial producer and short film director (”A Walk in the Dark”), has begun a slate of five films after optioning two screenplays from the writing team of Marie D. Jones and Larry Flaxman. “19hz,” a low budget horror thriller, and “Twilight Child,” a big budget sci-fi adventure, are the first for Lucas’ slate, to be followed with two spin-off projects from “Child,” and the story of the life, rise and fall of a great, but currently unnamed, sports figure. Lucas will be directing and producing all five films. The financing for the first film, “19hz,” is being finalized, with options in place for the rest of the slate.

Bruce Lucas Films is no longer accepting submissions at this time – But we Thank You and Appreciate it!

April 4th, 2010

Dear Writers,

Bruce Lucas Films is no longer accepting submissions at this time.

BLF has optioned several properties and we are currently developing them.

Over the past months we have received numerous submissions in all genres.

Some of them were good, some of them were great and some were amazing – but most important we know all of them were from the heart.

Although we have not gotten back to most of you, we want you know how grateful we are for those submissions and that we realize and understand that everyone of those stories were your “baby”…, your work of art that included not only your words, but your sweat and soul as well.

I am not a Writer, I am a Producer and Director, but I would not be in business without you. All work in every facet of our industry begins with the written word. Nothing gets done without it

Many of those stories we read should absolutely be made…and some of them really need to be made… so I will only say that you should in no way be discouraged and keep searching for places, people and contacts to send your stories to.

A number of years ago I had the very good fortune to be invited to sit with the great Martin Scorsese at his home and have a discussion about the industry. When I asked him what, in his opinion was one of the more important stepping stones to success in this business – he answered with just one word: TENACITY.

(TENACITY – dictionary definition: determined, persistent, stubborn, unwilling to except defeat)

I leave you with that bit of great advice as well.

Thank you all for your help, your trust, your belief in us and your participation. If all goes well we will be open to submissions again in the near future.

In the meantime please keep an eye out for our projects in development. You will be able to read about it as it progresses on our blog: http://brucelucasfilms.com/blog/.

The first being a Sci-Fi Paranormal story entitled “19 Hz” – Stay tuned to http://19hzthemovie.com.

and the other a family oriented Sci-Fi story entitled: “Twilight Child”.

See you soon, thanks again and Best of Luck!

Bruce Lucas

Bruce Lucas of Bruce Lucas Productions has optioned the feature script “Twilight Child” by Marie Jones after finding it through InkTip.  Lucas, based out of New York, produced the 2003 short film “A Walk in the Dark” starring Mike McGlone (”The Brothers McMullen,” “She’s the One”).  He calls Jones, a best-selling non-fiction author with six books to her credit, “a brilliant screenwriter.”  Lucas will be directing and co-producing the sci-fi feature.  They also have more projects in the pipeline together, so expect more announcements from these two in the near future!
