The Casting of Frank Stone – Part 2-2

Now that we’ve shot all of the major scenes for “Murder Mill”, it’s time for the far more difficult task of gathering evidence of our cri- I mean B-roll. Obviously, I mean B-roll.

Although we’re now at a point where the story is starting to move forward, I would like to take the time to discuss the title and why I enjoy it’s double layered meaning.

The “Casting” of Frank Stone can refer to multiple things. In a literal sense, as the characters in this story are filming a movie, it could be said that they’ve “cast” Frank Stone as the monster in their film by making his story such a significant inspiration for the flick. And yet, Stone can also be “cast” as a form of reconstructing and reinforcing it, so metaphorically it could also refer to Augustine’s goal of resurrecting Frank Stone so that The Entity can use him.

I enjoy these exact types of titles, where the choice of words can imply multiple hidden meanings behind them, and I felt the need to shout it out.
