"Witness Insecurity" - New movie for 2011?
 

Has anyone heard of this movie Witness Insecurity yet and when it comes out?

www.witnessinsecurity.com would probably be your best source for answers :shrug:

Its very low budget, under just 900,000 dollars :|

I wish he would start doing big roles for big movie's

I just tried to read the synopsis but it's a long time ago that I learned Latin. :?

Remembered this: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pi...d=237666687645

Same here. He had some good roles in the late 1990s but soon there was Bloodrayne, Pleasure Drivers and the like. :sad:

I wish the same, but unfortunately, just can't see it, it's a shame, as most of these movies go straight to home media, and end up in the bargain bin not too long after release. :(

That all depends on whether he gets offered any :shrug:

we do know he has been offered big roles but he turned them down for some silly reason.

I think I remember him saying that he does roles that nobody else would do. He needs to get into the role when he reads about it and if he dont he wont do the role. He likes the tough roles that nobody else can do.

just about any actor can do the roles that he plays.

I'm under the impression that Meat chooses the roles based on challenge for himself. Not necessarily "tough roles that nobody else can do". If he knows how the character is supposed to be played, chances are, he won't go for that role.

on the other hand he's known to make one the odd story now and then. I wouldnt take all those statements too seriously... maybe these are the only roles he gets offered? Or the only acceptable ones...

On IMDB it said: "Meat Loaf closed the movie with the refrain of a song he wrote on the spot." That should be an interesting draw for the likes of us.

Or nobody else wants to do :shrug:

:twisted: Chat on how challenging Meat's roles are moved over here.

Witness Insecurity Writer/Director/Producer
 

Hey Meatloaf fans,

I saw this post about our movie (and all the subsequent comments about Meat's role choices and acting career) and thought I'd chime in as a first time poster.

I co-wrote, produced and directed the indie feature "Witness Insecurity" that Meat shot this past May/June in North Carolina.

He was amazing. Such a powerful presence on the set. So well prepared. He brought so much to the role.

He raised the bar for all the other actors around him - and we had a really great cast (in spite of our under a million dollar budget): we had Edward Furlong (Terminator 2, American History X), Ed Asner (Up, Lou Grant), Rick Ravenello (Weeds), Elaine Hendrix (Parenthood), Rena Owen (Once Were Warriors), P.J. Byrne (Evan Almighty, The Game), Grace Johnston (Beaches) - the list goes on and on!

So much can be done with so much less these days in the indie film arena. With the economy constricting globally and investment squirrelly everywhere, stars are willing - and the unions allow - totally different "scales" outside the studio feature arena - if the script is good enough. So budget really has nothing to do with quality of story or performance. It does impact special effects and CGI - but we had very little of that - and exponential technological improvements have drastically lowered the bar on a lot of this, too - so its a very exciting time to be making independent films!

Meat was king and generous and creative - playful and supportive - I can't say enough about him as a human being and as an actor. We kidded one another that I'm not allowed to make another movie without him. I, at least, plan to keep my word on that! It'll depend on his crazy touring and recording schedule - and quite frankly, if I can write another script that's up to snuff (and I've got a library of 'em - I'm just raising money for my next at bat).

For those who're interested, I wrote a little blog on him on my site, retelling my favorite day during the shoot - when Meat wrote a song on the spot!

Really, he's such an amazing musician, actor - performer, human being - I can see why you're all such fans.

I'd say I'm his #1 fan :) but maybe I won't dare say that here on this site!

Thank you for your post. I found it very informative. I am looking forward to Witness Insecurity's release. :)

Loving the blog, brilliant, nice day for the sound engineer lol

Thanks Heather for taking the trouble to come here and post. Great to read :) .. and great to come from a source that can't be easily dismissed ;) Yes, he is certainly an amazing musician, actor, performer, and human being who takes his craft seriously and shows great kindness and humour. I wish you every success with your movie :-)

Thanks Susie Q, Monstro and CarylB!

Yeah, I have a photo of Meat, the Sound Guy and I - I have to get that up on my blog.

My boyfriend got Meat to autograph the reflector he smashed when he hit the light post with the semi! :) His first time ever driving one - on camera, of course! He signed it: "I did not do this." He has such a wonderful sense of humor! I could rave and rave about him. He gave his musicians the night off so he could fly back in the middle of his tour to make an extra night he wasn't scheduled/committed to but that we really needed him for. Flew in at like 8 PM, worked through the night. 'til like 3 AM - then crashed and hopped back on a plane to keep going on his tour. He's an amazing performing machine!

Really, not spin control or anything - he just gave and gave with such heart and sincerity...I can't wait to work with him again!

Thank you for both of your posts and the link to your blog Heather :)) I'm so glad you had such a great experience working with Meat, and I hope you do get the chance again sometime. The movie sounds really interesting, and I can't wait to see it :))

Yes, please do!

:lmao: Sounds exactly like something Meat would do! I love these kinds of stories.

:yep: I agree!!!
WELCOME TO MY WORLD! LOL!

Thanks again for such a nice post, it's so interesting to hear about behind the curtain stuff we aren't necessarily privy to. You describe him perfectly with adoration and respect which makes me smile and say, "you get him, like we do".

I couldn't agree more with everything you said Suzie :))

Thank you so much Heather for your 2 posts and the link to your blog. It was nice of you to take the time to do that, it was very informative. It's nice to see an 'outsider' who respects and admires Meat as much as we do. That sounds like the Meat we all know and love, flying all the way over there to finish a scene, then flying back. He really is a trooper and is very hard working and decicated to his craft. I really hope the movie is a success and can't wait to see it. It sounds like you had fun making it with Meat, and hope you get to work with him again.
