Chance Encounters

THE VEIL US CUT coming soon…

2010 is the busiest year yet for the Chances. So not only are we at work on two short films this year the horror titled; apt. (synopsis and main trailer for film will follow shortly) a sole project directed by myself, which will be released in festivals starting July of this year and … Chance Brothers are back with The Timeslip; A SCI-FI, time travel thriller which will wrap up filming and post by fall of 2010!!! … here’s the extra kicker!

We have made a re-working new cut of our debut horror feature The Veil (working title) – The Veil US CUT. The main reason behind this is a few things; we wanted to give the The Veil the attention it so rightfully deserves over the many years by starting afresh to a new audience that missed out (the early days underground film was only shown at a few viewings including The Portobello Film Festival in London, 2005) and/or for the people who would like to see a tighter more taught version of the original. We also felt the quality of version that was released very much differed from our original masters (of which many critics applauded the film.)

Firstly; This is the real deal. The newer cut is a nice 1hr 43min as opposed to 2hr 30 min, though we would initially one day like to release the original cut when the film has picked up momentum over time and the public demands it.

But MOST importantly this version Directed by Richard Chance (which will be hitting festivals the same time apt. will be) is endorsed by it’s filmmakers. This is the version we want you to see. It will actually benefit the filmmakers. After hitting film festivals worldwide this year and local L.A theatres we will have already started looking for new distributors for the film. Contact here people/companies of interest …

The Veil DVD of 2008 (current) should not be sold or rented new anywhere, anymore as distribution has ceased. I beg for the audiences to look out for The Veil US CUT the real thing this year in film festivals and i promise you; our loyal long time supporters and the newly intrigued – the eventual DVD release will follow. We are very happy with this new version and can’t wait for everyone to see it!

So a summary;

apt – Premiere The International Action on Film Festival (Short) July 2010
The Veil US CUT – Premiere The International Action on Film Festival (Feature) July 2010
The Timeslip – completed and released in festivals Autumn / Fall 2010.

Watch this space as always! Trailers and information on all our new films to follow shortly!

All best,

John

‘Splatter-tastic Zombie Flick makes ebola look like a picnic.’

KKKK 4/5 – Nick Ruskell Kerrang! Magazine

“The Veil: Heralds the future of Horror. Forget trite comparisons with
other films, shove, oneupmanship and crappy ‘debates’ like ‘Brit flicksvs American Movies’, this is where it’s at. The Veil packs more
visceral punch than Cronenberg on Amphetamine sulphate…see it”

Nigel Buckland ‘VIDS’ Review

‘Great zombie action…Awesome Brit flick with bite!’

Mark Bennet Gorezone Magazine

‘Gritty,realistic…The Veil is brutal enough to terrify the dead themselves’
