Since so many people have written asking for status on
the health of Cheyenne Silver, whom we interviewed a
couple of years ago, I've been in contact with Bryan J.
Kinnaird, her mentor, for a few months.
Today,
after I queried how the production on his film starring
Cheyenne (now back to her birth name, Cara) was doing, he
sent me back this exclusive information and some pretty
good pictures from the set.
Enjoy,
and know that Cara seems
well recovered and perhaps the retitled Genesis of Evil
will give her mainstream career the boost it needs. It also
doesn't hurt that she gets co-executive producer's credit,
something I didn't know before. Sure, it sounds like a cliche,
but she truly is a sweet person who before the accident
occasionally took the time to contact Fanboy Planet and
see how the site was doing.
On
a side note, I think that the new title has a nice directness
to it that shouldn't confuse potential moviegoers in the
way that Disciples of Dido might have. Sure, the original
title was a wee bit more literate, but would also have brought
in people looking for the British popstar. Good change,
guys. Seriously.

From
YK Productions:
After nearly
a year and a half, principal photography finished on the
long-awaited film adaptation of the cult classic graphic
novel series THE VILLIKON CHRONICLES. Through travesties,
tragedies, script changes, and cast additions, filming wrapped
in June 2006.
Cara Fawn (a.k.a
Cheyenne Silver) returned to finish the production after
the near-death experience she suffered late last year. For
the first time it is being announced here at Fanboy Planet
that Cheyenne Silver has gone back to her real name, Cara
Fawn. Previous production titles were also scrapped in favor
of THE VILLIKON CHRONICLES: GENESIS OF EVIL.
*Fanboy
Planet has obtained EXCLUSIVE excerpts from "Thank
You's" that went out to cast and crew after the completion
of principal photography...
Dear
Cast and Crew,
I
would like to thank you all for joining this venture
and dedicating yourselves to the advancement of bringing
a motion picture adaptation of THE VILLIKON CHRONICLES
to life. The canvas of a theatrical movie screen is
where I always envisioned it would be.
...I’ve
appreciated the supportive camaraderie amongst all
departments through the many different chapters this
production has written during the course of nearly
10 years.
Again,
through the professionalism and sincere investment
of time, talents, creative expression, dedication,
patience, work ethic, attention to details, donations,
diligence to your crafts, and true passion for filmmaking,
we’ve observed a transformation of ideas. A
story and its artwork born before our very eyes into
what will be a visually stunning achievement, and
after all, isn't that what it's all about?

I wanted to thank all of you for your hard work on
this project. Filmmaking is by nature a collaborative
effort, and this could not have been accomplished
without all of your combined talents. You've done
something extraordinary...
There
is always a high and then a lull after principal photography.
Everyone gets excited about how well things went,
and then there are long periods where it seems nothing
is happening... the website will reflect the the new
title of the film and some behind the scenes stuff
in a few weeks...
I'll
keep you updated, as we finish each stage.

Director “The Villikon Chronicles: Genesis of
Evil”
To
a most excellent cast and crew! It has been my greatest
honor and privilege to work with such remarkable and
talented people. None of this would be possible without
the combined efforts of all. Together, we’ve
made history and birthed a miracle at the same time.
The Miracle is a SFI-FI story that against all odds
came into being... It lives because you all beleived
it could be real, despite the adversity or the seeming
unrealistic ambition of what was possible...You represent
the best things in people. Your actions and performances
represent nothing short of the highest degrees of
professionalism and superior abilities. I will remember
these days forever...

I
too would like to express my gratitude - it is truly
amazing to see how immensely The Villikon Chronicles
has grown - from a few creative minds with imaginations
vast enough to see a much greater picture... to a
team of true professionals who have chosen to see
the vision, and have had faith enough to become part
of a legend. You will not regret your hard work and
hours of endurance... Thank you. I have really enjoyed
coming back to filming, working and sharing memories
that will last forever.
