Viral Films Media Hits Funding Goal for Chuck Dixon and Vox Day Scripted Movie
December 2019
Viral Films Media hit its funding goal of $750,000 for its upcoming superhero film Rebel’s Run based off the Alt-Hero comic book universe created by Vox Day.
Viral Films Media has already partnered with Galatia Films and will see Daniel McNicoll and Nuala Barton producing Rebel’s Run.
Viral Films Media has currently raised $847,900 for the superhero film that will be written by Vox Day and Chuck Dixon and directed by Scooter Downey, who recently co-directed Mike Cernovich’s Hoaxed documentary.
The investment campaign is still ongoing with Viral Films Media setting a maximum investment goal of $1,070,000.
Viral Films Media, who state the purpose of their founding is to provide “an alternative to the major Hollywood studios, hopes to “demonstrate that a small independent start-up can challenge and outdo Hollywood.” They add, “Rebel’s Run will present audiences with a bold and exciting new vision of the superhero. In the place of yet another remake of a comic book from the 1940s, Rebel’s Run will introduce a new comics universe full of entirely new superheroes to the screen, with fearless storytelling inspired by a game-changing, counter-cultural spirit.”
Vox Day premiered the first teaser trailer for the film on a livestream back in July. He praised the level of talent involved in the project, “The level of talent that is taking in part in this whether its with Chuck Dixon being the lead scriptwriter…we’ve got a great script. You can see from the trailer, the director, Scooter, has a really great visual eye. We are going to bring so many very strong elements to the table that I think that people are going to be really surprised at the final result.” Day would add, “We are actually aiming for one of the best movie soundtracks. I want a soundtrack that is going to stand up against the Matrix, Mortal Kombat Annihilation…”
