Silver*Ware Studios, Inc. (SWSI) is in the business of making features for the new age. The first film scheduled for release is a vampire, horror, drama entitled, Immortal Secrets (IS). The film is about a vampire, Elisha Dobbs (played by new comer Curtis Case) that falls for a mortal art teacher, Samantha Givens (played by new comer Lauren McLeod). Their problem is Krystal Nickels (played by new comer Liz Riberio); she’s the villain in this film. She created Elisha and she doesn’t want anyone else to have him.
With IS being the first film out of the studio, there is always room for two of the most popular genres in film; vampires and martial arts. Vampire films have been a staple since silent films, so much so that the depiction of vampires in popular culture is strongly based upon their depiction in movies throughout the years. Martial arts film is a film genre that originated in the Pacific Rims. This genre is a type of action films characterized by extensive fighting scenes employing various types of martial arts. This genre has mainly been produced in China, peaking in the 1970s, and has been dominated by Hong Kong action cinema and its kung fu and wuxia films.
The film is more than a deep love story and drama. It’ll have great visual effects and martial arts action. The three upcoming stars will go on an intense martial arts and choreography training course. This will include hand to hand and weapons training. The studio is looking at Corey Yuen (War and Transporter 2) to choreography the film. They are yet to release their offer.
IS is set for an eight digit budget. SWSI is also in negotiations with Oscar winning vfx studio, Drac Studios. They were asked to help with their special vampire clans that need to be hideous and graphic. Drac Studios is known for their work in Brim Stoker’s Dracula and Blade. The film is scheduled to go in pre-production in August 2009.
The film is to be set in two locations. The first area is Rome, GA., which will be the home of SWSI once it’s built. Producer/Director, Travis Ware, chose to film there for its unique locations and buildings. The second location is in the heart of Savannah, GA where the film is supposed to take place. SWSI is looking at Tybee Island as one of their key locations for IS. “Can you understand the multitude?”
