2010 is going to be a busy year. After my work for the Back Slasher movie, I got involved with another British movie production, working title ‘The Stone’. It will be directed by award winning film maker Philip Gardiner. I can’t tell you anything about the script yet. What I can say is that it will be a psychological thriller with a twist in the tail and some great actors including Tony Scannell from the British police series The Bill and Chris Rankin who plays Percy Weasley in the Harry Potter films.

Besides me doing a song and maybe a signature theme I was asked to actually play a small part alongside these heroes. Now there’s an offer one shouldn’t lightly refuse so after thinking for about half a second I gave the ‘I will’. The producers have reserved a big amount to get the movie on the major festivals and on TV so we should be in for some fun. The shooting is planned to start some time in January.

In the last week I have been working on a signature track for the upcoming movie Back Slashers. Directed by British director Tim Cowley, this social networking horror movie deals with the story of Becca, a girl with an addiction for blogging and everything internet. Attracted by the possibility to generate fast cash, she starts selling adult toys on the web. When a seemingly unconnected string of murders happens, the only thing that ties them together appears to be Becca’s online friends list. In the end Becca discovers the chilling secret behind the murders and the connection to her social networks.

Back Slasher is special in a number of ways. It is a no-budget movie in the tradition of Blair Witch and Paranormal Activity. It’s raw and it’s in your face. At the same time it has a message for everybody out there who spends a lot of time on social network sites like Facebook, Twitter – you name them. Yours truly is as guilty of that as the next guy. The movie will be released in the course of next year in the US, Canada and Europe.

The song I wrote for this movie is called “Kill my Darlings”. It’s a mid-tempo spooky haunting song. At this stage we’re still considering what the best time is to release this song as a single.

Back Slasher is not the only movie I am involved with at the moment. In January, filming starts for a great British production, involving some very well known actors. For this movie I will not only write the title song, but I will actually play a cameo role.
