Kickstart This Now! Stuart Gordon’s Feature Film ‘NEVERMORE’
Stuart Gordon has brought us some great B-movies. Re-Animator, Dolls, From Beyond and, even more recently, Stuck. My first year at Fantastic Fest was 2010 and it was the year that Gordon brought Jeffrey Combs and not only did they show Re-Animator and From Beyond, they also did the stage version of Nevermore. It was something I thought I would never see since it only seemed to be performed in Los Angeles. Last year, I talked to Combs at Con-tamination and asked if they were ever planning on doing a full tour of the play. Combs stated that he and Stuart really wanted to make a feature film out of it instead. He then told me, after signing my Mondo Nevermore poster that I bought at Fantastic Fest, that Gordon was probably going to launch something on Kickstarter to pull it off. After over a year’s wait, it looks like they are going forward.
Typically, I don’t like posting a lot of Kickstarter projects but this is one that I have no problem in posting. Combs’ performance of Poe is so amazing just as a one-man stage play that I can’t even imagine what the film is going to be like.
The campaign started yesterday and it is already doing pretty well but it has a long way to go! Trust me, this is one that every horror fan (ie. you) should be backing.
