  • I'm expecting an update from Michael Nehs sometime in February. In the meantime, here's what I've been able to piece together from a couple of articles I've found on the 'net:

    • Frontsight Productions has recently partnered with Intrinsic Value Films to produce Blue World. A January 8, 2008, post on ProductionCharts.com mentions this and gives shooting dates from March 17 to April 16 in the Chicago area.

    • A January 23, 2008, article about film incentives in Wisconsin states that filming will occur in Milwaukee.

      Here's an excerpt from the article:

      Blue World: A $2.5 million production set for filming in Milwaukee. The film is an adaption of the Robert R. McCammon novella of the same name and is being produced by Pewaukee native Michael Nehs-- it's been adapted to screenplay by Charley Rivkin, who's also slated to direct. Nehs and Rivkin previously collaborated on a film called Heavens Fall.

      Angela Little Mackenzie is on board to star in the leading female role. She has recently been seen in Walk hard: The Dewey Cox Story, American Pie presents Band Camp, Busty Cops, Busty Cops II, and Alabama Jones and the Busty Crusade.

      More information on Angela Little Mackenzie can be found on IMDb. Her demo reel can be viewed on YouTube.

      Here is another news article that also states the movie will be shot in Milwaukee.

Frontsight Productions Update Newsletters
Frontsight Productions has an email list for updates on Blue World. Their updates are archived below.

An October 2007 article in Screen Magazine about Frontsight Productions' new sound studio, Templar Sounds, includes this tidbit about their planned film version of Robert McCammon's "Blue World":

And if that isn't a big enough project, Nehs has some film work going on through Frontsight Productions, as well. The feature Blue World, which is based on the book by Robert McCammon and directed by Rivkin, is scheduled to begin shooting late this fall, but Nehs says this time frame might be delayed until January due to actor availability. Nehs says Blue World will be completed from start to finish right here in Chicago—with the post and scoring taking place at Templar Sounds.
