QUESTION FROM A FAN:
“Is LOST ISLAND OF LAVEAU an episode of REQUIEMS?”
Well, technically, “no” - but they are related. The REQUIEMS screenplays had a first draft written in 2004, though the series wasn’t shot until 2014. In 2007 we took one of the episodes as they were at the time and expanded it to be a stand alone short film - that became LOST ISLAND OF LAVEAU. When we began a new set of drafts in 2013, I liked the idea of doing a follow up vooderre story, so Ep 2 of REQUIEMS is a direct sequel to LOST ISLAND. Therefore, LIOL is a stand alone movie, and a prequel to REQUIEMS Ep 2. The various episodes of REQUIEMS changed many times throughout the decade-long revision process, though Dani’s plotline remained largely the same. |
