I like the one JB used for that scene--Jagger/Richard's "Sympathy for the Devil". Agree about "Werewolves of London" though. Also like Zevon's "Jungle Work" as soundtrack for when Harry, Murphy and Kincaid go in after the Vampire scourge and their Renfields.For pretty much any/all title themes where the opening scene is Harry in the Blue Beetle, the song should fade out to being on the radio, then it should cut out with a squawk/squeal of feedback or something, as the radio in his car dies. Again.
But there's no shortage of werewolf songs that could be applied--"Super Beast" (Rob Zombie), "Bark at the Moon" (Ozzy), and one from my favorite band "The Wolf is Loose" (Mastodon); two other good ones by Disturbed and Metallica that I can't remember the titles.
While admirable, your ground rules are lacking certain points.I'm actually a little torn about whether it should be a television mini-series or a series of movies (one season or movie per book). To do them proper justice would require a TV mini-series, but movies would get more public exposure, not to mention help avoid any possible stigma relating to the previous TV incarnation of the series.
5. Specify if you're thinking a movie franchise, television seasons, or television mini-series for each book, and how many books per year if so.
6. Specify if you're starting with STORM FRONT, or if you're starting later on/skipping books, which some people think is acceptable, and others don't.
7. Specify if you're casting young on some roles due to their eternally youthful appearance.
Now, as for your cast, I agree with some of them, but I think you've completely disregarded age in your casting. Harry is 25 in STORM FRONT, and your youngest Harry is 34. Likewise, you've got Toot (young teen ripped body) being played by a 43yo. Even at two books a year, your un-aging teen-looking Toot would be 53 by the time the BAT came around, and that's assuming we got two book/series in this year.
So your no time machine comment confuses me, at least in regard to your casting choices. Again, I have no issue with a list of actors that look like how you picture them, but if you're saying no time travel casting, I think the actors have to be age accurate, yes?
Disagree that age is as much an issue as some seem to think, thanks to makeup and CG. They can still make Clint Eastwood look like Dirty Harry for photo ops, but take off the makeup and he doubles for the Crypt-Keeper.While that is a valid point, don't forget that we're not talking just photo ops here. We wouldn't expect Clint to be able to do as much physically now as he could when he played Dirty Harry. Also, Carlos is supposed to be still less than <25 years old in WN, so trying to get an actor more than twice that age to play him even younger at his first appearance in SK seems to be asking a bit much (until recently, I've always thought we need to find a younger version of Mario Lopez to play non-time-travel Carlos).
Hells Bells by AC/DC needs to be used.
Series (After Storm Front)
11 ASF, October: Changes
And 45 minutes later: Aftermath, a novelette from Murphy's POV, published exclusively in Side Jobs.
12 ASF, May 9th: Ghost Story
Changes happens in October of 11ASF.
Ghost Story Starts May 9th 12ASF.
In GS Harry is told he’s been “gone” 6 months (May to October is only 5 months). Are we a month off here, or did Changes happen late enough in October (very near the 31st) that “Early May to Late October” is considered “close enough” (whole of May thru Oct inclusive is 6 months).
