From the set of John Carpenter's GHOSTS OF MARS

Hey folks, Harry here... ya know, I can't wait to see this baby. It could be very very hardcore cool. However, I have this whole big fear that this film will be sacrificed before the altar of blandness coming down from the folks up on high... However, violent it is... It's on Mars... and their killing Martian screwheads (you'll get that when you see the film) Now I've read the script... It's fun... fun in the way that John Carpenter films can be.... Here ya go...

Harry,

Hey I am a big fan of the website and I have some things to say about the Ghosts of Mars movie coming from John Carpenter. I was on the set of the film for a good two weeks straight, I really don't want to say doing what because I really don't want to be sued by some hollywood jerk. But here we go, from what I have seen it looks like the movie could go either way, Cheesy stupid or Fucking Awesome.

The main bad guy who they have affectionately deemed Big Daddy Mars on the set looks really cool. He wears a big black...outfit but his face is painted all white and he looks like a really cool version of death. The extra's are really cool I mean when you have about a hundred mutilated people walking around it brings a tear of joy to your eye.

There are tons of explosions, it seemed like there was an explosion every night, and people loosing arms, heads, getting stabbed with spears and horribly burned. Some things you have to look forward to. Ice Cube running down a hill screaming, "DIE YOU BRAINLESS MOTHER FUCKERS!" and a Lewis from Revenge of the Nerds is one of the good guys that comes to the rescue.

The only thing that worries me is that it seemed that the script might be a little weak. But if you are going for blood, gore, horrible mutilation, and explosions then G O M will be right down your alley.
