Costa and McLaughlin make the comeback of the year with the success of 'The Antidote Kill'
Nearly a year since the team of Revolutionary Studios has come up with the next action epic, Matthew Costa started development on an idea for a film that in the words of his friends "resembled the film Crank", for his senior project. After nearly six months of pre-production, the film had finally been finalised and was ready to be shot. With the help of Mitch DiMaggio, and the USA Kung Fu team, Matthew directed the most important scene in the film, the fight scene at Seamist. After countless hours of shooting, choreographing, and sweating, the scene was finally done. And the rest of the film was done in no time flat. Just in time for its premiere presentation for Mr. Looney's period 6 senior seminar class. What was first assumed to be a mediocre, last-minute, home movie, turned out to be a jaw-dropping success that suprized even the teacher and evaluators. Immediately taken in as a hit, despite the many mistakes that the director/writer/star Matthew Costa had noticed after the final cut was finished. The film was commented as "well edited" and "kept you on the edge of your seat." Thankfully, this taught the director that he can finish a well made action film, under pressure, with a limited budget and location contract, and still meet a close deadline for the release. Costa has already started talking about his next action film to come. "Okay, I've made a kung-fu action movie at the least amount of quality that is possible, I can do better later, I want to move on to something different. I've always wanted to work on a samurai movie." With the next film idea currently being tossed around, there may not be another film until the studio has relocated to Boston for the next 3 years. Only time will let us know of what is to come.
