BECOMING MAGNUM'S Rollercoaster Week.

Over the past few weeks the Project has gone through its share of ups and downs, highs and lows. I approached a Fitness/Personal Training Company about coming on board. They offered to Donate over $11,000.00 worth of their Products and Services to the Project, and claiming that with their expertise, they could help me lose 160 lbs in 90 Days.

Naturally, I was excited about both the Donation, and the estimated Target Weight Loss in 90 Days.

But over the past few weeks I began to question my Producer's level of commitment to the Project, and last week we had a meeting to discuss the Contract between us, the Producer and I, and the Fitness Company. The talks ended on a sour note, so I decided to step in and try to be the mediator between the Producer and the owner of the Fitness Company. I wrote up a letter pertaining to the issues of both parties, as I saw it.

On Monday of this week, I received an email from the Producer saying that she was no longer interested in working on the Project. I'm not sure what it is that she took offense to as she does not answer my phone calls or return them, or even send a reply email explaining her reasons.

So I was left holding the bag. I had to come up with an Agreement between myself and the Fitness Company that was agreeable for both them, and myself. In the end, they wanted way too much for what they were offering, and I wasn't able to put a deal together in time, and so they've decided to walk away as well.

I did however, through the Law of Attraction, manage to run into an Acquaintance that I made earlier in the Summer, and shared the Project with him, and I even showed him the Teaser Trailer on my portable DVD Player that I happened to have on me.

He enthusiastically agreed to come on board, and he made a call to his Business Partner, who said he'd like to meet up with me after the Christmas and New Year's Holidays, to discuss the Project. The new Producer mentioned that his partner might be willing to invest $50,000 into the Project.

I believe that this is all going to come together in time. My intention is to create 13 Episodes, and to Broadcast them over the Internet, instead of using a Traditional Broadcaster, so stay tuned, and together we'll see what unfolds.

PS. I should probably mention that last week I decided to FEDEX a Package to Mr. Selleck's Agent. Included were a STOP BEN AFFLECK FROM BECOMING MAGNUM T-Shirt, 2 Photo's of myself, a Letter asking for Mr. Selleck's Endorsement in the Project, a copy of my BIO, and the ONE PAGER about the Project.

Ideally, I would have loved to have shot footage of this, but my Producer and her Camera were no where to be found.

MAGNUM P.I. MOVIE in Pre-Production

My computer has crashed 4 times this year. . .very annoying and frustrating. It has really set me back.

So, I've finally gotten my computer back, and it's working. Yeah!

I've been busy working with my Producer, Brunella, who keeps giving me more work to do every time I meet her.

Currently we are working on finishing off the PITCH PACKAGE which we will use to Pitch the Project to Executive Producers, Directors, Investors, Financers, etc.

I also found out that I've got to do as much as I can on this EVERY SINGLE DAY because the Official Countdown Timer has begun.

My contacts have informed me that MAGNUM P.I. THE MOVIE is in Pre-Production, and they have begun Screen Testing actors for the Magnum P.I. Movie. They haven't selected anyone, yet. And they are in talks with Tom Selleck to play a small (Cameo?) role.

So now is the time for my BIG PUSH. I've got to get my Project picked up, and made, so that I can get any contenders out of the way so we can have TOM SELLECK play THOMAS MAGNUM, and get me in there as his illegitimate son, SULLIVAN MAGNUM.

We've got a Producer!

On Thursday July 27, 2006 I met with Producer Brunella Battista at her "db Digital TV" office, and discussed the "Becoming Magnum" Project with her. She loved the concept, and she agreed to come on board. She has imposed some deadlines for things to be done. We have to get the Business Plan completed by August 15th.

Brunella is working on the Budget, and I'm working on putting together Sponsorship Packages, so we can hopefully attract Sponsorship from Personal Trainers, Acting Coaches, Fitness Equipment (Mountain Bike, Rollerblades, etc.)

I've also been working on finalizing the ONE SHEET, which will be submitted to Executive Producers, which sums up the Project in a single page. And I'm working on finishing my Bio.

Niti Maini, my Publicist is helping me put the final touches on the Sponsorship Packages, and she is also taking my Bio, and writing an Editiorial which we will use to send to Local Papers and TV and Radio Stations to book Interviews to get the word about "Becoming Magnum" out there, so we can start attracting more local attention.

Meeting with a Producer. . .

On Friday, July 14, 2006 I have a Meeting with a Producer to discuss my BECOMING MAGNUM Project. Of course, I'm going to be bringing the New Trailer with me.

I'm curious to see what this Producer has to say about my Pitching myself to TOM SELLECK for the upcoming MAGNUM P.I. MOVIE.

As it has been reported, TOM SELLECK is out, and BEN AFFLECK is being considered for the role of THOMAS MAGNUM. But where there's a will there's a way. . .hopefully.

I'm going to see what she thinks about me Mailing off a Copy of the BECOMING MAGNUM DVD TRAILER to TOM SELLECK'S AGENT, and his PRODUCER PARTNER, MICHAEL BRANDMAN over at BRANDMAN PRODUCTIONS.

In regards to the FERRARI SHOT for the TRAILER. . .unfortunately I'm not going to be able to use the 2000 Ferrari 360 Spider like I wanted to. . .yet. I am able to get a shot of me in the Ferrari, however, it is the wrong color, so I'm going to have to wait about a month to get the right one. Here's a picture of the FERRARI that I intend to use in the BECOMING MAGNUM TRAILER. Enjoy!

BECOMING MAGNUM TRAILER is 90% Complete

I finished the Final Stages of my New Trailer. Once I finished cutting it together, I realized that I should probably move some pictures from the front into the middle. Then, after I get a shot of me in the 2000 Ferrari 360 Spider, I'm going to pull out a shot of me at the end, and replace it with the shot of me in the Ferrari.

Next, I have to work on putting together a One Sheet, and a Small Business Plan so I can try and get SPONSORSHIP and/or FUNDING for the BECOMING MAGNUM Project. That's what I'm going to be doing for the rest of the week.

This morning, I'm going to go to KINKO'S/FEDEX to see if they can Print up some DVD Labels for me using the STOP BEN AFFLECK FROM BECOMING MAGNUM Design I came up with. Then I'm off to pick up the first STOP BEN AFFLECK FROM BECOMING MAGNUM T-Shirt.

After that, it's off to see DARRIN MAHARAJ before he leaves for Toronto tomorrow, so I can show him the TRAILER, and give him a copy to take with him.

I'm excited to see if and how he'll be willing to help me out.

Comparison Photo's

Here are some Comparison Photo's of myself and TOM SELLECK.

The Trailer is in the works. . .

I've completed about 90% of the BECOMING MAGNUM TRAILER. I've got 1 final shot that I need to get. I made a phone call on Friday and now I have to find the exact make of the Ferrari that I want to use, and then I have to let me Contact know which Model I want to use. He'll then call his contact at the FERRARI/MASERRATI DEALERSHIP and find out if we can get the car we want.

On Friday, I also managed to find TOM SELLECK'S AGENT'S phone number. I called her up, and got her MAILING ADDRESS. Once I've finished the TRAILER I'm going to Mail her a copy.

I went to a Party on Friday night. My friend Benjamin told me to make sure that I brought a Copy of the DVD TRAILER with me. He's going to pass it on to a PRODUCER, who is on their way to L.A. (He told me that this Producer is really good at FINDING MONEY.) He also mentioned that he knows another PRODUCER that he's going to want to pass a copy of the DVD TRAILER to.

I had a meeting with a COACH yesterday, and my next assignment for this week is to put together a Business Plan, and a One Sheet, that I can use to attract SPONSORSHIP and FINANCING.
