  Hi, this is Garr*tt Gilchrist. I wrote and directed the film Shamelessly She-H*lk.

  I've registered here just to post this and respond to some comments which have been made.

  If you have questions about the movie, you can email me at tygerbug at yahoo.com. I'd rather you didn't email my cast. I'm happy enough to provide updates.

  I've watched the clip at Youtube, and those are indeed clips from my film, though unfinished. I edited Mike's acting reel, and I guess he's Youtubed it.

  I've also noticed that our still photographer put up some pictures on her website.

  Everyone did good work on the film so I won't stop them.

  However, I've been avoiding putting anything of my film on the web. I'd actually appreciate it if people wouldn't link to these videos from my film, please.

  There's a lot of editing left to do on this film. We've shot well over 50 hours of footage. I don't want to annoy M*rvel's lawyers, since this is a small not for profit fanfilm. I don't want to talk much about this film online until it's done and in the hands of the internet.

    I have noticed the interest in this film from the muscle and transformation subcultures with some alarm. It's not an aspect of the movie I'm really interested in talking about.

  The cast worked hard to make a serious drama (and at times a serious comedy!) – I made my casting decisions based entirely on acting ability. I feel we've made a really good movie here, told a really good story, and I'd rather have it not be reduced to that sort of discussion, I hope you'll understand.

  The film is the ultimate treat for She-Hulk fans, I think. It retells the entire story of the Savage She-Hulk run, with the comedic Sensational She-Hulk as our narrator – with breaks as she battles supervillains like Xemnu the Titan, Captain Weathermaster (created for the film), and …. well, Titania if I finish shooting.

    The actress playing She-Hulk is not a bodybuilder, she's not gigantic, she's not actually green. What good actress would be? My model for her was very much the John Byrne She-Hulk, who was basically very feminine and looked like any other Byrne female, just bigger, brasher and more powerful.

  Rather like the difference between Christopher Reeve and the way they draw Superman in the comics. Christopher Reeve is a human – Superman is a cartoon. That's the difference.

  I'm just telling the story of the character, how a shy young woman becomes a famous superheroine, leaving some friends and family behind in the process.

  Characters in the film: Jennifer Walters, Morris Walters, Zapper, Buck Bukowski, Nick Trask, Bruce Banner, Spider-man, Howard the Duck, The Incredible Hulk ….. many others ….

  Richard Rory is not in this film. He has a very tiny cameo in the script which I may or may not include.

  The film is 90% shot. The Bruce Banner and Titania scenes have been holding me up.

  At no point did the actress playing She-Hulk quit. The actress who originally played Jennifer Walters did leave the film early on, and she was replaced by another very talented actress.

  I will not answer questions about transformations, etc.

  I think you will all enjoy this film a whole lot — even those who are complaining about it here will really like if if they like She-Hulk as a character. The Savage and Sensational She-Hulk runs are both covered at length just as you'd want them to be. It's well acted and a lot of fun.

  It's not "that kind of movie" though. It's a serious film – the drama is dramatic, the comedy is comedic, and I don't want it reduced to …. that …. you know. I feel you will enjoy the film, but not for "those reasons" – more for the reasons that you might enjoy Buffy, or, hell, most of the She-Hulk comics.
