-The Follow-Up for the classic horror film TALES OF DRACULA has been released. “Tales of Dracula: Dracula Meets The Wolfman” is now available to rent / buy via streaming only (for now) via the link below. I once again play the role of Dracula.
– I’m pleased to announce that I have been slated to voice the role of the lead character (CSI Detective Kenneth Manning) of a horror / slasher video game called THE DEVIL’S APOSTLES.It’s being developed in the UK with lead developer, programmer & producer Joe Wheeler and is slated for a late 2024 / early 2025 release. In addition, Baretta Simmons is onboard as the lead writer of this. They play to launch an Indiegogo Campaign to help with finish what they’ve started. Be on the lookout for that and more info from the producers of this game.
– I was contacted by producer / director Jeff Forsyth in regards to playing the role of an Assassin in his feature film “The Bondini Boys.” There were already several actors I’d worked with previously on this (although I was only in a scene with one of them – Jennie Russo) and Jeff had always wanted to include me in one of his projects so, after hashing out the details, it was a go. Filming was done at a hotel in East Syracuse. It’s always nice to be on a set kind of close to home (but any filming set is a thrill really – whether big budget or small). It’s amazing how far technology is advancing – one pic shows us in a Denny’s where Jeff was actually making a rough edit of the footage we just shot via his iPhone. I had some bumps and I broke something (what a surprise – HA!), but overall things went well and fairly paced. Thanks to Jeff and all involved for having me for this and look forward to working with all of you on future projects. More pics / recap can be seen on my Acting Page on Facebook via the link below.
-I just wanted to give a quick update on the status of these two CAROLINE BLUE Music Videos being done by WWJ Entertainment LLC.
-MY FINGERS – Filming for this is complete. Currently in Post-Production. Once the required funds are raised, I’ll be joined with Cinematographer Michael J. Rudolph in getting the editing locked. Then some CGI will be added, finalized and hopefully released before year’s end. My plan was to release this just before releasing a new CAROLINE BLUE CD, but several “roadblocks” have appeared which I have to deal with so time will tell if this music video will be released before or after the new album. Any thoughts on if it should be released before or after?
-WON’T BE HOME TONIGHT – Still in principle photography. There are, basically, three parts to this one and one of them was outside with snow – hence filming back in February 2023. The second one (performance) was filmed earlier this month so all that’s left is the third one (story). In the midst of securing the right cast / locations for this one. No timeline on when this will be released – except when it’s the best that we can do it.
-As you may or may not know, I have concepts for a good number of the currently released CAROLINE BLUE songs, as well as for some of the songs from the new album. Unlike some production companies, unless it’s something like in “Won’t Be Home Tonight” (needed snow outside), I don’t plan to film anything new till these two are done. The exception being if something comes up and I have to get it on film or wait another year or more.
-I just wanted to say thank you to all the people involved as well as to all those who support what we do. It means a lot and is deeply appreciated. Keep on the lookout for news and updates. There’s a good amount of behind the scenes video as well as A LOT of BTS pics that will be slowly released as time permits so keep a look out for those. Thanks for patience and we hope you enjoy the fruits of our efforts.
-As I wrote on Promo #1 back on 8/22, one of JOHNNY Z‘s producers, Jason Delgado, reached out to me and asked if I wanted to be included in a short promo run by REEL 2 REEL for the film. You had to submit three one minute (max) videos, filmed vertically, to the promo company by a certain date – which I did (at around 2 AM in the morning no less…). Here’s the second one and, while not as many views as the first, it’s only a minute so check it out damn it! (HA!) 😀 Check out more of the clips by the others via the link below.
-Here’s a Behind the Scenes clip, shot on November 20, 2022, at HILLCREST JEPHSON ESTATES(Cazenovia, NY), of me (Wayne W. Johnson) reviewing footage (shot by Cinematographer Michael J.
