'The Mourning Portrait' mail interview

Wentworth Miller will star in the new Paul Schattel, movie The Mourning Portrait. He will play a photographer in a very scary story. We are lucky! We managed to get in touch with one of the movie producers, Stephen M. Corbin, and ask him a few questions about production, directing and, of course, about Wentworth Miller in order to satisfy all the fans of the Pretty.
Stephen M. Corbin was kind enough to answer us. For now, he is only allowed to provide the public and their fans with some information through Facebook, IMDB and other websites connected to the movie business. So this is a Wentworth Miller The Hot Line Website exclusive :

WMTHL: Where will you be shooting ?
Stephen Corbin: The film will be shot on location in and around the Mountains of Western North Carolina.The plan now is to shoot the film as soon as is practical for us (although a firm date has not been decided as of this writing). As you can appreciate there are a multitude of careful detail's and planning that need to be worked out in advance before beginning principle photography.

WMTHL: Have you done some research for the costumes ? What are you going on, movies, books, museums ?
Stephen Corbin: It is a period piece to it's bones. Circa 1920 Appalachia and much research has and is being done to make it as authentic as possible. We are very proud to say that we have some of the best craftsperson's and talent in the Motion Picture Industry working today, attached to our film.

WMTHL: Will you be a huge or a small team ?
Stephen Corbin: Make no mistake, Wentworth Miller is playing a significant role in our movie and as such we are so glad to have someone of his great talent as part of our ensemble of great actor's.
As you know we also have the great Diane Ladd ('Chinatown', 'Wild At Heart') and Melissa Leo ('Frozen River', 'Everybody's Fine') and Garret Dillahunt ('No Country For Old Men', 'The Assassination Of Jesse James By the coward Robert Ford') playing the principle roles, with more yet to be announced. We have assembled an amazing Cast thus far.

WMTHL: Will you be using 35mm scope Panavision, HD type Red-one or Genesis cameras ?
Stephen Corbin: The film will be shot on 35mm Panavision or equivalent, using several camera's.

WMTHL: Will there be some stunts that will need double for Mr. Wentworth Miller ?
Stephen Corbin: There will be stunt doubles as needed for Mr. Miller & others.

WMTHL: How long will the shooting last ?
Stephen Corbin: The shooting will last approx. 30 days on location & on Stage as required.

WMTHL: Will there be some numeral or makeup visual effects?
Stephen Corbin: There will be some special MUFX used, although I cannot elaborate on what type.

WMTHL: Will it be a theater movie or a TV-movie? Do you hope to have it released outside the USA ?
Stephen Corbin: This is an independent feature film, not a TV movie. The film will be available here in the States and also in many foreign Countries, hopefully within a year upon it's completion.


We hope that these few questions clear you up on Wentworth's appearance in this movie which turns out to be incredible thanks to the quality of the script and its casting.

Finaly, we want to thank all the production team, and particularly Mr. Stephen Corbin for his availability and his kindness towards the fans. Thank you so much Stephen, we appreciate it.
