Chemical Pink: Current State of Affairs

It’s been almost nine years since Newline optioned Chemical Pink and I wrote the screenplay.  Jonas Akerlund, the original director, has been loyal to this project and so has our agent David Unger. We have gone through a bunch of producers and a vast array of ideas for casting Aurora.  Up and down, my heart has been through the meat grinder countless times.  BUT it looks like the movie might actually be happening—finally.  We have decided to make it on a very low budget and cast a real bodybuilder as the lead.  I always wanted to have a bodybuilder play Aurora and it looks like my dream may be coming true.

Jonas and I were meant to go to the Arnold Classic this weekend but unfortunately I’ve got the world’s worse ear infection from diving on Palau and so I’m not allowed to fly.  I’m very disappointed to miss the show as we hope to start the casting process soon and I know that we would have met some great talent in Ohio.

Jonas has been meeting with actors to play the male lead, Charles Worthington.  I can’t mention names at this point but I’m dying to.  It’s all so exciting.  I will update this page with news as it develops but hopefully we’ll begin the actual casting of Aurora, and other bodybuilder rolls, soon.

Stay tuned.
