Red Moon

Google alerts sent me a delightful link today, from the Twilight Portugal site. The new Portuguese-language urban fantasy (read: vamp/werewolf soap opera) TV show Lua Vermelha (Red Moon) premiered last night, and featured the Portuguese translation of The Painted Man, O Homem Pintado!
It seems mine is the book of choice for sexy Portuguese vampiresses. You [...]

Toronto Afterlife

Just got back last night from my visit to Toronto and the set of Resident Evil: Afterlife (in 3D). It was a fantastic trip, both from a business standpoint and for the gleeful SF fanboy inside me.
My buddy Matt and I flew in Thursday and thanks to the negotiating power of Hollywood, got to stay [...]

Taking Off

Please excuse any awkward formatting on this post. I’m doing it from my phone.
At the airport now, heading off with Maxim-stylish wingman Matt Bergin to Toronto to the set of Resident Evil 4 (in 3D), which is being directed by the eminent Paul WS Anderson and produced by the awesomely last-named Jeremy Bolt, the duo [...]

Always Trendy

I know it’s been a while since I’ve updated, but in my quest to always be trendy and hip to the latest fads, I caught a nice case of H1N1 about 2 weeks ago, and spent about 7 days being totally useless, and another 5 feeling generally cruddy. This was followed by some massive computer [...]

Word of the Day

Hey all, sorry I’ve been so quiet on the blog lately. In addition to 9 hours a day of jury duty all last week and this, I’ve been proofing 881 pages of Desert Spear copyedits, working on a new Arlen Messenger novellette, trying to close on my new office studio (which I will immediately need [...]

Casting Contest Winners

Apologies for taking a while on this one, but judging turned out to be harder than I anticipated. There were a lot of names I didn’t recognize on the casts, and I had to do some research so I could consider them all in fairness. Thankfully, in the age of IMDB, google images, and YouTube, [...]

Casting Contest Update

Big thanks to Matt Bergin for taking over the Peephole for the Casting Call guest post. I want him to illustrate my blog more often. His picture was extremely accurate, except he put the painting of Arlen where my office window is.
The window that faces a friggin’ daycare center full of screaming kids that make [...]

Guest Post: Casting Call Contest

Hello, fans and friends of Peter V. Brett!
That’s seems a bit wordy. Would you mind if I call you Peatlings? Actually, forget that. It suggests you’re all a bunch of tiny Peats, and that would just be creepy. I’ve got it–The Warded Fans! So…
Greetings, Warded Fans!
My name is Matt and I will be guest-hosting this [...]

Warded Option

So the best thing about the Warded/Painted Man movie option so far is that I got to meet Milla Jovovich.
No, seriously.
I love Milla Jovovich. Ironically, it’s not in the way most nerds of my ilk love her. I think of her as a musician.
I listen to music all the time. When I read, when I [...]
