Yesterday was a very bid day for the film. I had my first official cast meeting with the people who will hopefully be starring in the film (unfortunately given how school is, there's a possibility that not everyone will be able to commit, which is why I over prepared by asking more people to participate then I actually need). The meeting was mainly talking about scheduling (based on the schedule I made last week), possible locations, and getting everyone accustomed to what the film will be and the desired tone. They had all already read the script before the meeting, I just wanted to clarify that it's intentionally very kitsch, and will thus require a style of acting that leans in to that.
I also talked about the music for the film. I really want this movie to have a theme song with lyrics. I have some friends who make music, so I asked them if they would be willing to write that alongside me, and they said yes. It will probably play during the suit-up montage towards the beginning, and will hopefully also be released as a single on music streaming sites to go along with the movie. This is honestly one of the things I'm most excited about, as I have a big soft spot for movies with dedicated theme songs (i.e. "Flash" by Queen from Flash Gordon or "Burn" by The Cure from The Crow) and it's going to be really cool having one in my movie.
The last thing I did in the meeting was have the cast members read some lines so both I and them can get a feel for how different people will be in different roles. Like I said in a previous post, I really need the main trio to bounce off of each other if I want this to work. Hopefully I can finalize the cast next week.
Before I go, I'll show off these logos I made. One is the main logo for the film, and the other three are logos representing the members of the team... The Abnormals!
