Vengeance: The Movie

Vengeance: The Movie is the first feature film project of K² Productions. Based on Vengeance: The inside joke by D.B. Wayne the film has been in development since fall 2022.

## Production

### Before the Movie

During the fall of 2022 D.B. Wayne began to wear the Vengeance mask, a beanie featuring Daredevil on one side and Punisher on the other, during this time he would pull the mask over his face and proclaim "I'm Vengeance," the line Batman says. Haydawg then began brainstorming Vengeance: The Video Game, a video game based off of D.B. Wayne's character however due to a combined lack of experience and budget this idea was scrapped quickly. At a band competition on October 29, 2022 D.B. Wayne, Haydawg, and Triple H began to work out ideas, scrapping the Video Game and working through ideas of a comic book or a short series and eventually landing on Vengeance: The Movie.

### The Beginning of Greatness

The first story written for vengeance: The Movie was based on a worksheet from AP Lang. Vengeance found a crime scene and using his detective skills would find that a man named Evila Ton (spelled backwards as Not Alive) was killed by his wife. Another scene was added on where a man named Tony gets interrogated by the Italian mafia and eventually their boss, one of the originally brainstormed characters "Revengeance" would arrive, seeking Tony Grand (an inside joke). Eventually these scenes would be reworked turning Evila Ton into Evila "Tony" Ton and him having been killed by his wife after he ran away from Revengeance and they placed a hit on him, the end of the detective scene would introduce Deathstick, a mercenary wearing a Marching Band uniform and using drum sticks as guns. In just a day the script expanded to 25 pages of loosely connected scenes and a sparse overall plot. Haydawg included a plotline about the Presidents of America and Italy fighting and them telling Vengeance and Revengeance to fight each other. Over the next week the script came together and was in a rough draft state, with more scenes to write and plots that needed connecting but the whole story was very much there at this point.

### Filming and further progression

During the time of writing some scenes would begin to be filmed. This would come to be a mistake as neither D.B. Wayne or Haydawg wanted to remove filmed scenes from the script even if they could be replaced by better ones, one problem with the progression of the movie. This is also where D.B. Wayne and Haydawg began to clash more, both having different ideas of where the plot should go and just generally diverging, although they'd work together, to less than perfect results. Filming would continue during Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks, to less than success due to many factors. Filming after that was entirely issue filled, actors would no longer show up, and everyones motivation dropped leading to the end of production on Vengeance: The Movie.

### Where we are now

Vengeance: The Movie is not dead, production ended but all was not lost, D.B. Wayne went back to the drawing board and is cooking up a new script currently and working out logistics behind getting filming to work this time.

## Marketing

The first trailer for Vengeance: The Movie was released on December 7th 2022, deep into production and after filming had begun, it featured a new clip of D.B. Wayne as Jason Michaels (Vengeance) saying his catchphrase followed by Nirvana's Come as you are and a release date of Valentines day 2023. News was silent until January 5th when Vengeance: The Theme Song was released revealing some character names such as Justice, Benedict, and Commissioner while teasing the future Vengeance album. On January 29th the delay was announced, pushing the release back to at least March 14th, this followed the many filming problems that plagued Vengeance, this featured D.B. Wayne making the announcement and a gag of Bryce Warlock (The President of Italy) jumping from a plaset and seemingly breaking every bone in his body. The final bit of marketing came months after production stopped, Haydawg edited some finished scenes together into the second Vengeance trailer which seemed promising, but was for naught. Although production stopped months earlier a final bit of marketing was made announcing the end of production attached to the Hallway Fight scene, which Haydawg claims to have been the best scene in the film.
