The studio release news today that fan email for Season 4 has reached a number beyond the staffs capability of reviewing or screening them all. The studio added that fan email has been accumulated from eight different countries, with a larger concentration from Germany & Sweden.
The large numbers of fan email have not detoured the studio from continuing forward in trying to respond to each and every one of them. The director/creator believes that the recent increase of fan correspondence is due to the recent sneak trailer which posted online earlier this month, which presented a plethora of acquired talent for Season 4's big debut in December.
The studio retained the powerhouse acting skills of most of the original cast, but also acquired the return of Matthew Jasso for the role of "Arthur McAdams," in which he received accolades from Internet fans during his outlandish and dashing performance at the end of the third season. Adding to that, the studio also acquired the elite acting prowess of Melissa Dawn Smith to the shows arsenal of talent, which will only increase the action environment planned during the darkest season the show has planned for fans.
Another new elite addition is Shannon Kummer, who is sure to dazzle the intellectually minded fan into a realm of deep cerebral philosophy. The director stated that Shannon's performance has made the 'real secret" of show more plausible for the fans to accept than ever before.
What may also catch series fans is the sudden growth of core cast of Brittany Clark and Angelica Grayson who have now entered their High School years in real life. Both have matured fabulously into talented women who still have a strong commitment to completing the series as planned.
The two young leading ladies have endured the vigorous Texas heat during production this season, but continue to deliver marvelously under constant pressure and schedule changes. The director added that the entire cast has been diligent in giving their best performances for the show at each taping, which has foretold a dark future for their characters in the last season of the show. The director added, that if this IS the final season of the series, you would never see it in the actors eyes.
Season 4 has been painstakingly put together via means never before attempted by the studio; especially since the show first entered a "PG" Rating which has now been immediately escalated to "PG-13."
Much of the reasons for the rise in the shows rating came from some of the fight sequences which were choreographed and edited by Jasso, which added an aggressive level of action which has evaded the show in its previous seasons. The director said that, "Jasso's entry into the series not only brought a new vision and depth to the 'Arthur' character, but also brought a level of professional, well thought out fight-choreography which has never been attempted by the studio," giving a level of action for every flavor of fan who may be watching the new episodes.
The studio also said that there will be many sequences of horror which might catch a few fans off guard, leading to a virtual taste for the unexpected in all areas of film making. A new trailer for the new season [set for release in November] is sure to give fans a good look at the darker, horrific view of what to expect this season. The director just hopes that fans will see the new episodes at night and alone, to get the better feel for what he intended in the writing of the last season.
But now as the new season draws nearer to its debut, there is still a lot of work for the cast and crew to do. The studio said that the cast will be working for the next six weekends to complete the remaining sequences for, not only the season debut, but most of the episodes which are to follow in January and February; i.e. the coldest months in South Texas. The director said that getting enough episodes completed now before the real start of winter is meant as a 'level of comfort' for the actors, to prevent them from working in the harshest winter months of the season...
...
And that has brought many smiles to cast and crew!
Ride Easy, My Friends!
