Rockin' the Wall Studios announces EOB Documentary Feature

Rockin' The Wall Studios has announced their join production of a Documentary Feature of East of Byzantium. The new teaser is on their website and you are welcome to check it out, as well as share it along.

EoB creator Roger Kupelian has optioned out his project to Rockin the Wall Studios, so that the project would move forward under the direction of Peabody Award winning documentarian and screenwriter Marc Leif (who had previously penned a miniseries teleplay for the same). RtWS has teamed up with Journey Pictures and Seda Melkoni to produce and market. Fugitive Studios Ent. will be supplying their brand of imagery to augment the storytelling, and Kupelian is on board as consulting producer.

The goal is to coincide this news with an upcoming online release (and subsequent publication) of Kupelian's lavishly painted East of Byzantium Graphic Novels, War Gods (the Prequel) and Vol 2: Warrior Saints (the Mamigonian epic), tentatively due in mid 2012.

This is not 'In Place of" the feature project, as that is still in the heavy pitch phase. There are many steps that need to precede a large scale project, especially one of that magnitude, and they are being taken as you read this.

Watch for an announcement of the graphic novel's online release soon, first as a free sample stand alone story, then the release of Volume 1 : War Gods, itself.
