If you’ve got the bread, he’ll spill the blood
Writer/Director Tom Holland (Child’s Play, Fright Night) and actor/producer Tom Malloy (The Alphabet Killer) have joined forces and talent to produce Killing Frank, a thriller that explores how far someone will go to be the sole inheritor of an ailing billionaire’s fortune. However, with a weak economy and a cautious industry, Holland and Malloy have created a new business model and turned to their fans to help translate this script into a feature film.
Launched in February, HelpUsKillFrank.com targets movie fans from every corner of the world to sign up for the once in a lifetime opportunity to be a part of a Hollywood feature film from development through production. Holland explains, “Having been in this business for over 40 years, I have lived and worked through the ups and down of the economy, numerous strikes and the continuous changes in technology. The one thing that has remained constant are the fans. My fans, especially, are incredibly Internet savvy and when this idea was pitched to me it seemed like a perfect fit.”
For as little as $5.00, anyone can join the team and gain access to behind-the-scenes footage, polls that influence the storyline, and be entered into contests and raffles. The more you donate, the more access and exclusive bonuses you gain, including walk-on roles and face-to-face time with real Hollywood pros.
Currently in pre-production, Killing Frank is scheduled to shoot in Los Angeles in late spring and will be produced by Trick Candle Productions in association with TH Productions.
