Where does the idea come from?


Is it based on a comic book or a legend or anything? Ron Perlman,Ray Winstone,and Bill Moseley... this is gonna be F uckin amazing!!!!!!!

reply

My name is Keith Kjornes and I wrote the script. To answer your question, it's all original, not based on a comic or legend. But with Perlman and Mosely and Henry Rollins all in the same film? Cuba Gooding et al with guns against -- uh-- well, wait for the film-- and you'll see!

reply

The title by the way is THE DEVIL'S TOMB!

Do you have any idea what timeframe they are looking at for release on this film? Also, and most importantly, is the rumor that Holly Weber really shown topless or nude true? I am farily certain that she has not agreed to this at any other time, so SUPER KUDOS if this is the case.

Well, with Winstone, Perlman and Moseley in the same film, you can sign me up.
If the the title is The Devil's Tomb, what the hell is Gehenna?

Cool storyline as well.

From the premise, it sounds kind of like the video game DOOM. Was the inspiration taken from there?

reply

Gehenna was basically a burning garbage heap outside of Jerusalem in ancient times. Bodies of crimnals/animals/trash were all thrown in. It later become a way to describe hell.

It's one of the many "biblical" themes that this movie got wrong.

And yes this is a total rip-off of Outpost.

All original? What do you say to the people who say it's a cheap copy of The Outpost?

Funny cause it sounds a lot like the video game 'Clive Barker's Jericho' so much there's even a Wikipedia blurb about this movie on the video game wiki.

Doesn't sound very original when it's almost exactly like the game.

It's not based on *any* legend huh? Sooooo the Nephilim and fallen angels are entirely original and invented by you? You should know someone must have used a time machine to steal your idea and put it in the bible. And various other films and books and video games made before your film. Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness was like a mash up of this and the Da Vinci code. You and Dan Brown should take that one on together, I'm sure you can sue what with it all being original and not based on any legend or mythology or anything. 

It's based on a great movie that came out last year called 'Outpost':

This is a cheap copy.

As said its like Outpost (which was better). The screen play reeks of Aliens (but not in a good way).

reply

Its also got very close similarities to the game Jericho for the PS3/XBOX360.
