What’s happening with ISOLATION?
ISOLATION – the zombie movie I’m working on with Will Wright – is still in development. Unfortunately, as is often the way with these labour of love projects (i.e. projects where there’s no cash involved and everyone’s working for free), they have to take second place to other contractual obligations. The script is almost ready, and we’ll see some progress in the very near future. Keep an eye on www.isolationmovie.net.
