You might remember a strip I did a little while back called “One small step” about an astronaut left alone on the moon, nice short little horror. Anyway, I’ve never been happy with the name, which ordinarily would be ok – the title was both a homage too Neil Armstrongs “One Small Step” – and the idea in my head that the astronaut of the story took one small step backwards and fell down a massive hole.
Anyway, this strip was spotted by a guy called Krishna – who makes short films and he asked if he could take this strip and turn it into a short. Krishna is a professional filmmaker, albiet for corporate videos (with I think the odd music video) so he has assembled a team and they’re making it. Step one is gonna be a kickstarter (with a fairly modest and achievable target, I think). But in our first chat I told Krishna I wasn’t terribly happy with the title, but hadn’t needed to worry about it up til this point. Then, about a week ago it just occurred to me (and it’s so bloody obvious I’m annoyed it took that long).
It’s called ALONE. I’ve suggested to Krishna the name come up exactly like ALIEN does in Ridley Scott’s film (of er.. the same name) might happen, might not.
I also sent him this, a rough of what a movie poster would look like – though I’ve just realised this is the Gravity poster. Flip sake. Oh well, here’s the rough…
