SYNOPSIS
In the year 2707, Earth’s natural resources have been exhausted by mankind and battle rages between the soldiers of the world’s four leading corporations: Capitol, Bauhaus, Mishima and Imperial.
Mitch Hunter (Thomas Jane) and Nathan Rooker (Sean Pertwee), battle-hardened Capitol soldiers and best mates, fight a desperate battle against a Bauhaus advance. Unbeknownst to both Capitol and Bauhaus, their battle wages above an ancient, buried seal. The seal was placed beneath the earth’s surface centuries ago to protect the planet from an enemy far greater than any corporation. When an errant shell destroys the hidden seal, the men find themselves face to face with a new enemy--the enemy of man--horrific necromutants whose weapons are deadly bone blades which mutate from their hideous arms. The mutant army strikes relentlessly. Mitch Hunter barely manages to escape their violent attack. Nathan does not.
The mutants multiply by millions, destroying all before them. The Corporations must ban together against the mutants if they are to have any chance of survival. The Corporations’ chosen leader, Constantine (John Malkovich), is preparing to abandon the planet and mankind, leaving countless innocents to a hopeless, violent fate, when he is approached with news from Brother Samuel (Ron Perlman), leader of the Brotherhood, an ancient monastic order.
Brother Samuel is keeper of the Chronicles, a book that prophesies both the rise of the mutants, and the coming of a ‘Deliverer’ destined to destroy them. Samuel believes he is that Deliverer--the lone human being meant to journey deep into the earth to obliterate the source of the mutant scourge for good. Desperate to convince Constantine to help change the course of the future, he implores the leader to provide him with a ship and crew to pursue the prophesy of the Chronicles.
Samuel manages to recruit fiercely independent Mitch Hunter to lead the perilous mission, along with a disparate band of brave soldiers to complete their crew--honor bound Bauhaus officer Steiner (Benno Fürmann); sword-wielding Severian (Anna Walton), the only female member of the Brotherhood and bound to silence; volatile street fighter El Jesus (Luis Echegaray); fearless beauty Duval (Devon Aoki); and stoic warrior Juba (Tom Wu).
Directed by Simon Hunter and written by Philip Eisner, Mutant Chronicles follows Mitch and Samuel’s mission into the very heart of the darkness in an attempt to save human kind and the planet from the marauding hordes of undying mutants.
The darkest age is yet to come. Have faith.
ABOUT THE FILM
MUTANT CHRONICLES, directed by Simon Hunter and written by Philip Eisner, is set on what is left of Earth in the year 2707. By this point four mega-corporations have pillaged the planet’s resources. During a blinding battle, an ancient seal once embedded in the earth is ruptured, releasing a demonic, marauding army of underworld necromutants who wage an all out war against human kind.
In creating the visual world of MUTANT CHRONICLES, director Simon Hunter envisioned a future of regression. Rather than depict a futuristic, ultra-modern world, Hunter wanted to illustrate a dismal, desperate future without technological advances--a world where mankind had inflicted ruin upon itself. “I wanted nothing high tech, everything retro, everything coal powered,” explains Hunter, “…a Victorian future world of chimneys and fires and boilers and dirt.” Hunter, a provocative visualist, classifies the world he created as ‘Steam-Punk’-- a subgenre of fantasy and fiction which refers to works set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used.
Producer, Edward R. Pressman, discovered MUTANT CHRONICLES in the mid-90s when his brother, James Pressman of Pressman Toy, licensed the role-playing game. The Crow starring Brandon Lee had just been a huge box office hit. Pressman was interested in finding another franchise property. MUTANT CHRONICLES was exactly what Pressman was looking for. He immediately acquired the rights to the property from Paradox Entertainment.
Screenwriter Philip Eisner was brought in to the write the screenplay. The original screenplay by Eisner was innovative and inspired; however, the project based on that original screenplay, had a false start which was to the advantage of the production as the technology was not yet in place to shoot this film on such a grand scale at a modest budget. Despite the false start in the 90s, Pressman’s signature tenacity and belief in the project kept the film alive.
In 2005, Hunter and his producing partner, Tim Dennison, approached Pressman with Hunter’s take on MUTANT CHRONICLES. Hunter had been tracking the project for years. He sought out Pressman and declared that he could make MUTANT CHRONICLES for a fraction of the budget citing changes in technology and cutting-edge visual techniques he would create specifically for the world of MUTANT CHRONICLES. “I wanted to make MUTANT CHRONICLES,” says Hunter, “because I wanted a fresh take on this type of material—a dark, tough and gritty future. The last thing I wanted was for this film to look like Alien…whilst that film is excellent, it has been done, and I really wanted to strike on fresh ground.” Because so much of the visual world Hunter wanted to show had not technically been achieved before, he proposed to Pressman that he shoot a teaser film to prove he could realize his vision at the budget required.
Hunter and his crew spent five days shooting the 7 minute film against blue screen, and nearly four months of post-production followed. The entire short film was shot without the use of any facility house. The effects were done on two Macs at Hunter’s home. Hunter proved advanced technological feats were feasible on a modest budget. He sold Pressman on his vision.
Hunter officially came on board to direct, and he and Pressman spent the next few months screening the short film around Hollywood. They were successful in securing financing, distributors, and cast—including Thomas Jane and John Malkovich. “Watching Simon’s short, it was obvious the guy had a singular vision and an innate understanding of the technical means to get it done,” says Jane.
Following a few drafts by other writers, Pressman went back to Eisner and asked him to write the final shooting script. Hunter and Eisner worked closely to create the world of MUTANT CHRONICLES. “Philip has been a real delight to work with,” says Hunter, “he has a real insight and appreciation for the genre. Throughout the process, he would remind me to keep it fun. The degenerate future we’ve created of war and mutants is Saturday afternoon entertainment, and Philip was integral in crafting that entertainment.”
As Jane was in discussions to play ‘Mitch Hunter’, Hunter and screenwriter Philip Eisner decided to adapt the tone of the film. “Thomas was going to play the part as our Steve McQueen figure—cool, a loner, and iconoclastic,” explains Hunter.
Hunter knew he had to find a skilled and innovative pioneer as his Director of Photography. He chose DP Geoff Boyle because of his expertise in new technology. They chose to shoot on the cutting edge Viper camera system where uncompressed images are captured on hard disk records resulting in incredible detail and texture. This method would simplify post-production for the compositors and eliminate the need for scanning film. Though artistically frustrated at times by dealing with the enormous green screens, Boyle would make ground-breaking strides with the technology, pushing it to its fullest potential.
To achieve Hunter’s Steam-Punk vision of the future he chose Production Designer, Caroline Greville-Morris. She and Hunter created the world of MUTANT CHRONICLES using a variety of methods which included a mixture of sets, partial sets extended in post, miniatures layered with CGI, green screens and matte paintings. Explains Hunter, “These techniques are inexpensive and have an original and interesting look.” Costume Designer, Yves Barre, looked back in time for the foundation of his multi-layered design concept. He incorporated elements of design from various centuries spanning the medieval period, the 12th Century for the monks, the 19th and early 20th Centuries for the military uniforms and the 1950s for the members of the council chamber. This combination of historical design supported and illuminated the ambitious and original Steam-Punk visual experience envisioned by Simon Hunter, Production Designer Caroline Greville-Morris and Director of Photography Geoff Boyle.
In the spring of 2006 principal photography of MUTANT CHRONICLES began. The film was shot over a nine-week schedule beginning in May 2006 at Shepperton Studios and on location in the Isle of Man. The production process would involve nearly 2000 visual effects shots (a British record) and take nearly two years to complete. Hunter has devoted three years to MUTANT CHRONICLES.
With over 2,000 visual effect shots, the effects were essential to fulfilling Hunter’s vision. “The only way to achieve the Steam-Punk future on screen was to build sets or create our own world in post-production,” says Hunter. “By creating our own world in post, we were able to give the film a strong design from start to finish that is original and fresh.”
The VFX Company, Men From Mars, especially Visual Effects Supervisor Simon Carr, worked meticulously with Hunter and editor, Alison Lewis, to fully realize MUTANT CHRONICLES as Hunter originally envisioned it.
MUTANT CHRONICLES is an epic science-fiction action thriller starring a tour de force ensemble cast, Thomas Jane, Ron Perlman, Benno Fürmann, Sean Pertwee, Devon Aoki, Anna Walton, and John Malkovich.
MUTANT CHRONICLES is produced by Edward R. Pressman, Tim Dennison, Peter La Terriere, Stephen Belafonte, and Pras Michel.

Pressman and Paradox Entertainment recently completed a publishing deal with Dark Horse Comics and merchandising deals with C.O.G. Games and Fantasy Flight.
Since it began as a popular role-playing board game more than a decade ago, MUTANT CHRONICLES has won over fans worldwide. The property has been translated in 17 languages in a variety of formats, including collectable card games, videogames, books, comics and miniature games.

ABOUT THE FILMMAKERS
SIMON HUNTER - Director
Simon Hunter was born in 1969; he made his first film at seven years old-- Spaceman. Starring his parents and his dog, the 3 minute film told the story of a spaceman flying down to earth and reeking havoc on a remote cottage in the Scottish Highlands.
Hunter went on to make nearly fifty short films, mostly while at school in Dumfrieshire, Scotland.
At the age of eighteen he backpacked off to Central Africa and shot a documentary. The twelve-minute documentary Zaire, an African River Journey charted the progress of the hundreds of people that flow up and down the Zaire River each month. The film won Hunter a place at film school. At film school Hunter won several awards for his graduation film Click which tells the harrowing tale of a clearer who gets a hand stuck in a waste disposal unit and has to be rescued.
After graduating from film school in 1993, Hunter went on to write and direct a handful of short films - one of which, Wired, impressed British Screen so much that they immediately invested in Lighthouse a $2.5m feature film. Quoted as having written and directed “‘one of the scariest low-budget movies of the year.” The New York Post called it "as suspenseful as anything in recent history."
Hunter recently signed with Infinity Productions in London and has completed his first commercial, a clever take on Sony Playstation’s ‘Double Life’ for The Lothian Health Board. Entitled ‘Power of Experience’ it was conceived by The Union Advertising Agency in Edinburgh. It has since been recognized by Shots for its strong impact, so much so that they featured it in their ‘New Directors Showcase’.
In Cannes 2001, Hunter’s previous work from Lighthouse attracted the eye of Bob Isherwood, the creative director of Saatchi and Saatchi. Isherwood selected Hunter for the Saatchi & Saatchi New Directors Showcase. This prestigious honor is awarded to the twenty-five most promising directors in the world. Isherwood admired Lighthouse, saying, "Few films demonstrate so clearly how tension gets attention. The tension is dynamic."
Whilst directing commercials, Hunter started to specialize in the use of visual effects to enhance rather than dominate his work. Hunter regularly lectures on digital technology and directing.
MUTANT CHRONICLES is Simon Hunter’s second feature film.
Robert Newman represents Hunter at the Endeavor agency in Los Angeles.

GEOFF BOYLE - Director of Photography
After leaving art school in the late 1960’s, Geoff Boyle worked as a stills assistant in fashion and advertising and went on to become a stills photographer specializing in the music industry.
Boyle moved into shooting TV documentaries and music promos for ten years. In 1985 whilst he was shooting a documentary on the making of the Pirelli Calendar, he met Terence Donovan who liked Boyle’s lighting style and asked him if he’d ever worked on commercials. Boyle went on to light a number of commercials for Donovan for clients including Pepsi and Bovril, as well as over seventy multi award-winning commercials, including the New Season Football for Sky Sports which received a Gold Medal at the Promax Awards.
He worked with director Brian Percival on two award-winning short films: About a Girl and City Life.

After concentrating on commercials for 20 years Geoff has now started to shoot more drama, his first major motion picture being MUTANT CHRONICLES, shooting both main unit and model and second unit.
Geoff is currently wrestling with stereo green screen on The Dark Country directed by Thomas Jane.
CAROLINE GREVILLE-MORRIS - Production Designer
After graduating in Graphic Design and Photography in London, Caroline continued the work she started at college as a rock and roll snapper, while designing clothes for flamboyant New Romantics with her shop in cutting-edge Kensington Market.
With the twin talents of photography and design, she leapt straight into the deep end of art directing music videos through the pioneering days of the late 80s. Working on over 700 over the years with artists as diverse as Queen, Kylie, The Pretenders, INXS, Soft Cell, The Cure, and Paul Weller. In this ground breaking medium, where no two projects were the same, it was the perfect place to build up the arsenal of film design skills.
Her passion for the diverse is reflected in the film projects that have followed, including
E=mc2, a love story set at Oxford University against a background of Quantum Mechanics; Intimate Relations, a dark tale of lust and murder set in 1950s suburbia; Vigo, a bio-pic of the tragic pioneering French filmmaker of the 1920s. It was shot in Andorra, Paris, and the Cote D’azure with interiors built in London. Period and historical film-making detail were her obsession on this film right down to recreation of film sets and the mountains of jazz age graphics, ‘affiches’ and ephemera (Dir Julian Temple); WorkingTitle TV’s production of Dr Jekyl and Mr Hyde set in the luscious Victorian world of gothic horror in Lithuania. Apart from sumptuous period interiors and authentic street scenes, she created many in-camera effects for the transition between good and evil and worked closely with the CG team to ingeniously have both Jekyl and Hyde on screen at the same time; and Spirit Trap, a tale set in a haunted house, built entirely on stages in Romania.
Last year saw her at the design helm of Edward R. Pressman produced MUTANT CHRONICLES, a sci-fi war picture. Shot entirely in studios, she used a mixture of sets, partial sets extended in post, miniatures layered with CGI, and green screen and matte paintings to create the nightmare Steam-Punk vision of the future.
Boogie Woogie, in postproduction now, is a satire on the contemporary art world.
ALISON LEWIS - Editor
After attending West Surrey College of Art film school in 1987, Alison joined the BBC as a editing trainee. For many years she edited and assistant edited various drama and documentary programs including the Emmy award winning Peoples Century in 1995.

In 2005 she cut the teaser film of MUTANT CHRONICLES that her partner Simon Hunter was to direct. In 1996 when MUTANT CHRONICLES was in post-production she joined as editor and oversaw the postproduction of the picture until the film was completed in late 2007.

Simon Carr brought more than fifteen years' experience working in VFX to the MUTANT CHRONICLES production. Starting as a runner in a Motion Control studio in London, 1991, Simon has worked as a Digital Compositor and VFX Supervisor in the UK, Australia, Italy, Romania, Slovakia and Lithuania.
Having earned his stripes in the tough world of London's commercials industry with Cell Animation (providing support for their Henry suites and teaching himself how to composite) Simon moved to Animal Logic in Sydney, taking on the role of TD (Film) and helping to develop their film department. Whilst there, he worked on a number of Australian pictures including Not Fourteen, Again, Heaven's Burning and Black Rock; before completing the titles and opening seven minutes of John Woo's Face/Off. This included work on the 'flashback' look of the pre-title and grappling with producing seven continuous minutes of digital output on a system only capable of holding two minutes at a time.
Returning to the UK in the summer of 1997, Simon completed shots on Seven Years in Tibet for The Magic Camera Company before signing up for Lost in Space with Framestore, completing more than 40 shots on the Quantel Domino system and helping to put the UK VFX industry on Hollywood's map.

Since 2000, he has also worked extensively as a VFX Supervisor on major TV shows Auf Wiedersehen, Pet (moving Middlesborough's transporter bridge to Arizona), and Dr Zhivago (starring Keira Knightly) before moving on to movies with Young Adam, Tooth, Spirit Trap and An American Haunting. He likes to work with productions to help bed the VFX into the drama of a story and avoid effects for effects-sake, often working as an effects designer on world/environment design, as well as finding cost-effective solutions to VFX problems, making VFX more accessible to lower budget film-makers.
MICHELE BAYLIS - Hair and Make-Up Designer
Michele Baylis has worked for 20 years in the fields of movies, music and commercials; her major break was designing the movie Sexy Beast for director Jonathan Glazer which went on to be a huge success and a cult hit. While working on Sexy Beast, Baylis forged a strong relationship with Sir Ben Kingsley and went on to become his personal hair and make up artist for a few films, namely Oliver Twist directed by Roman Polanski for which she designed the wigs and make up for Kingsley’s character Fagin (which took 2 hours to apply). Baylis also worked with Kingsley on Mrs. Harris in Los Angeles for which she garnered an Emmy nomination.
In the meantime, Baylis met Thomas Jane and worked with him on both Stander and The Punisher, gaining her union card for the U.S., as well as a social security number.
Her second Emmy nomination came for her design of hair and make up on The Ten Commandments for ABC with Omar Sharif and Dougray Scott.
Shortly after this Baylis joined MUTANT CHRONICLES after being highly recommended by Thomas Jane.
Since Mutant Chronicles, she has toured exclusively with George Michael as his personal hair and make-up artist around the U.K. and Europe, including Russia. This year they hope to come to the States.

YVES BARR - Costume Designer
Yves was born in Macon a town situated on the edge of Burgundy in France. His colorful childhood to the late teens covered Paris, the Auvergne and the mountainous Pyrenees region on the Spanish border.
It is at that time he discovered the theatre, his first love, and made the decision to emigrate to England. Yves has, from adolescence, always felt a very strong attraction towards Anglo Saxon culture. Inevitably, London with its unique place in visual arts and theatre design became his home and still is to this day.
Art school completed, Yves entered the Arts Council Bursary of that year, when he met the renowned and influential theatre designer Nicholas Georgiadis with whom a productive partnership began.
The next six years proved to be a crucial and formative time spent as Georgiadis’
assistant. It was a true apprenticeship, participating on new major ballet productions such as The Tempest, The Nutcracker and Raymonda--all choreographed by Rudolf Nureyev. Also Orpheus and a remount of Romeo and Juliet both choreographed by Sir Kenneth Macmillan. This was part of a period spent employed in opera houses across Europe, Japan and the U.S.
The next step involved joining the BBC which offered great opportunities to develop and adapt his craft for the screen. Yves experienced a high caliber of work associated with this centre of excellence. He was involved in costume dramas, comedy, fly-on-the-wall gritty productions and progressed from an assistant to full-fledged designer. He collaborated on Shakespeare’s Henry IV directed by John Caird, Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice directed by Simon Langton, to Hanif Kureishi’s The Buddha of Suburbia directed by Roger Michell.
Early in his freelance career Yves teamed up with Jeremy Dyson, Mark Gatiss, Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith, The League of Gentlemen. Their dark and surreal comedy set in society’s underbelly won every major award for its writers/performers. It gave Yves full reign to his ability and artistic skills to create a unique in-depth range of characters. The three principal artists covering some one hundred and twenty roles over three series--one TV film, two stage tours and a feature film, Apocalypse, were all directed by Steve Bendelack. This body of work with its high production values and cinematic qualities set new bench marks in the genre. It brought Yves three nominations with two awards, a BAFTA and an RTS.
Throughout his career Yves’s portfolio has shown versatility and breadth of design from the feature film The Lazarus Child (director Graham Theakston), an intensely moving, poignant psychological thriller, to Kombat Opera the TV series, a succession of five musicals (Terry Jones among the directors).
Other nominations were two RTS for Ted and Alice and Victoria Wood with All the Trimmings, both directed by Steve Bendelack.
MUTANT CHRONICLES, a sci-fi action picture, offered a wonderful challenge. The director Simon Hunter was very specific in his brief as to the visual concept to focus on regarding the characters inhabiting this world set two thousand years in the future. Barr used retro inspirations to create a sense of timelessness with his design.
Yves is an associate lecturer in costume design at Central Saint Martin’s, The London College of Fashion and the University of the Arts London.
JEREMY ZIMMERMAN - Casting
Jeremy Zimmerman is one of the UK’s leading casting directors and has worked on international productions for the past twenty years with such notable directors as Peter Yates, Ron Howard, Guillermo del Toro, and Richard Attenborough.

Following an early career in international marketing, Zimmerman changed direction to become an actor, studying at the Drama Centre. After graduating, he spent ten
years working in repertory theatre, television and film, and also took an opportunity to work behind the cameras with a commercial film company. He eventually turned down an offer to join the National Theatre Company to pursue this alternative career in films. Zimmermanwent on to join forces with Noel Davis (also an ex-actor) to start their own casting agency, Davis & Zimmerman. After ten years in partnership, Zimmerman opened his own company, Jeremy Zimmerman Casting.
