Hey Vinnie,

thanks for your email. It is good to see that the game community is watching the project. I think you guys will be pleasantly surprised with what is in store for the movie. We have been very busy rewriting and working on the script, mainly to make it a great film and incorporate the game concept as good as possible. There are a lot of rumors floating around the internet about the script, story and characters. Most of them are wrong :-)

I think that the Clocktower series is a very hard to adapt game, since so much plays in a rather fictitious and surreal world. Thats why we decided to take a different approach and create a new basic storyline (of course based on the game idea and with the same characters). But in a movie you need to create a storyline and backstory to satisfy the audience and not leave them hanging. Things like, who is "The Scissorman", what does he want from Alyssa, why does he chase her and so on. So you need to create more depth, but stay true to the game idea and main story.

I feel we are having a great script right now, that incorporates parts from all the games and creates a great storyline. I really think that the fans will enjoy it as well as the new audience. It is like a new Clocktower series with all the characters intact.

As for the Scissorman, I totally agree with you. Rest assured that we are not wandering off in fantasy land, but keeping the whole film very REAL. The same for the Scissorman. He is a real character and he has a real pair of scissors. Again i think the fans will like him a lot.

Now, for the spoofs :-). Our film is very suspenseful and dark, not sure how the spoofs would fit in. Sorry, but i guess on that point i might not agree :-)

Be sure that we consider all the mails we receive and are hard at work to make an outstanding movie that makes the game and new audience very happy.

Thanks for all your comments.

Best,

Martin Weisz
