........After the making of Dark City Alex Proyas said that is next film won't be another dark film. Six month later he was excited about a low budget comedy he was co-writing. Some other rumor said that Proyas will direct Hardwired. Now Variety is reporting that Proyas is working on The Masque of the Red Death. I think we must wait and see. The majority of the news on this portion of the site are unique on the web and the world. So please if you take info here for your site advise me before. Thanks.


The Masque of the Red Death [big screen version of Edgar Allan Poe’s classic short story]

July 1999
Stuart Hazeldine and Alex have been working together on a re-interpretation of Poe's "Masque of the Red Death" for Fox 2000. Alex envisages this as a medieval fantasy on a grand scale.

June 1999
Contrary to what he told the Insider last year, it’s not a lightweight sunny film. Variety is reporting that Proyas will team with writer Stuart Hazeldine to craft a script for a new big screen version of Edgar Allan Poe’s classic short story The Masque of the Red Death for Fox 2000. Proyas will also direct the eventual film. Proyas will also act as producer on the film along with Andrew Mason and Julie Corman.

No title yet [low budget Comedy]

July 1999
The comedy about the Sydney garage band is proceeding with Fox Searchlight and is still looking to be the most likely project to shoot next. At this stage Alex is hoping to begin shooting sometime early 2000.

February 1999
"...I will say that the project I'm currently most excited about is an original screenplay I'm co-writing with an Australian writer, Dave Warner, for a low budget comedy. It revolves around a group of characters in a garage band in Sydney, but will still involve an extensive use of the "fantastic" as we get an opportunity to explore the somewhat tortured psyches of the central characters..."

Hardwired [big budget Science Fiction]

April 2000
"Fox is sending Vintar to Australia to work on a production polish of Hardwired with Alex Proyas. Hopes are high that this will go before the cameras soon. Fans of this sceenplay should be pleased! "By the way, the new producer on deck is Christopher Dow, replacing Andrew Mason, who no longer works with Mr. Proyas. That is in addition to Laurence Mark, who had this project set up once at Disney."

February 2000
"Alex Proyas is in Los Angeles shooting a short project, and also meeting with executives on Hardwired, which is expected be his next film. Work on the final shooting script begins in February."
