If you check their Instagram account, it was last active 5 weeks
ago, a sign that the project isn't "dead" yet.

It will be interesting to see if this film... along with Sam...
gets distributed. Hollywood operates on greed and fear. TG
transformation still appears taboo.
A few years I attended a film festival. There were buyers from some
cable networks that spoke at a seminar. They said that if you could
produce just about anything with a $250,000 budget it was likely to
get picked up and you can break even on your investment. They
simply do not have enough content for all the channels.
The fact that completed movies like Sam and The Sex Trip aren't
getting picked up by a cable channel is not a good trend to see. I
was optimistic a few years ago with the Eva Adams pilot, but now I
think we aren't as close to a content break through. Hopefully, I
am wrong.

All this means is this is a company that will be paid a commission
to attempt to sell it to networks, cable channels like Lifetime and
O, and other outlets like Netflix. Something they might hope for is
for it to be "The Sex Trip: A Showtime Original," before being
distributed to DVD.
Sam also has a distribution company.
Trust me, all of these networks are looking for affordable,
original content. It is concerning that if these don't sell in the
USA, it will hurt the likelihood of more of this being produced by
the higher quality Hollywood types.

Listen if mako's Paradox Alice came out. This shouldn't be too much
of a problem considering this is more acceptable mainstream then
Paradox Alice.

That may not be entirely so. I'm sure that Mako's production was
intended for a final destination of release to video somewhere
along the way. But it seems that both Sam
and The Sex Trip
are attempting to get picked up for release at the theater and/or
on television/cable first. I'm not sure that they intended to skip
that if necessary, and go straight to video.

Warning, Rant ahead:
Yes, cj is making my point. Paradox Alice was intended to be a
straight to video release, whereas "The Sex Trip" and "Sam" are
looking for network distribution first as in Lifetime Network,
Showtime, or even a Netflix original before general sales to DVD.
The DVD would sell more that way, as well.
The fact that with all these competing networks clamoring for
affordable original content, the fact that these romantic comedies
of self-acceptance are going nowhere should tell you something
about what mainstream America thinks. (Or what Hollywood thinks
mainstream America thinks.)
So what can you do? Voice your opinion, and buy it when it comes
out. Sales in America may mean something eventually. But I fear
that if these films don't get actual distribution with names like
Brooks (Mel Brooks son,) Stacy Keach, Morgan Fairchild and Jade
Ramsey (who was in the international teen/kids hit House of
Anubis,) don't look to indie film makers wanting to produce
anything like this for a few years.
Remember Joss Weedon was going to produce "Eva Adams" and even he
couldn't get it to air, despite Lalola being an international hit.
Just saying. I know there is a stigma for TG stuff. But use your
voice when you can. Things aren't going to change otherwise.

Let's be honest, though. Does anyone truly believe these are
anything more than "B" movies at best? For things that aren't big
budget studio releases or even something that could work as an
independent release in art house theaters, the distribution
companies that buy the rights are going to try to package them and
sell as part of a catalog of multiple films. There was never a
chance of these films getting their own individual release to a
cable network, Netflix, or even straight to disc. I don't hear the
names Holly mentioned and think "big money maker", I think maybe
there's a small niche audience, which is the case. I really don't
think it's only
TG that's holding these films back. That's probably part
of the business decisions that have these particular films
languishing in limbo but it's not the whole story.

I was about to say the same as the poster above. Neither of these
films are exactly Sir Ian McKellen doing Richard III now, are they?

What about Tomboy: A revengers tale?
Sigourney Weaver and Tony Shaloub are great actors.
Walter Hill directed The Warriors and one of the greatest episodes
of Tales from the Crypt (cutting cards)
Michelle Rodriguez definitely walks a beautiful line between
masculine and feminine.
That's probably the most high profile movie coming soon. I'm really
looking forward to The Sex Trip.

But the terror in Tomboy is a vastly different formula than the
Romantic Comedy. Bad-ass male becomes bad-ass female with revenge
on the mind for the horror of becoming female.
"The Sex Trip"--womanizer becomes woman and discovers love, is
redeemed to be a better man.
"Sam"--flawed male protagonist womanizer becomes a woman, slowly
learns the error of his ways, and learns that love is the answer,
accepting his feelings while being a woman.
I think many women would love either of these on Lifetime or
Showtime or something else. But I think Hollywood is still scared
to allow it.
It's like gay production in the 1990's and earlier. Showtime went
out on a limb showing gay stuff, which was a major risk before it
was mainstream. With trans numbers much lower than gay, I think
Hollywood is still scared of the backlash of a MtF transformation
with love and self acceptance.

The idea of getting a sex-change through surgery isn't as appealing
to me as Sam or the Sex Trip. In my opinion, if you get a sex
change you didn't really change your sex you just mutilated it. So
Tomboy sounds interesting but there are other things I'd rather see
first.

"Mutilate" is a bit harsh. Lots of people have plastic surgery,
it's not seen as mutilation, people should be free to look how they
want. Also people can take hormones to replicate those from sex
organs, so they are still technically the gender they want to be.
People are far to hung up on what organ people are born with rather
then the actual science.
But all I'd ask is that you don't use the word mutilate to describe
delicate and highly skilled plastic surgery, thanks.

Everyone has an opinion which is why I used the precursor "in my
opinion". You have your opinion. I have mine. But it is a fact that
no plastic surgery can get rid of the Y chromosome which is, in my
opinion, the definition of being male.

Well, considering that it is a sci-fi, I think the procedure
involved MAY includes meddling with the chromosome and changing the
sex at genetic level.
We can only guess....

Who here remembers the 1997 classic Face/Off?

Is that the movie where Nicholas Cage and John Travolta get
mutilated? XD (jk)

From: guest (rush)
, 95 months, post #59 |
I'll say this: If Tomboy does involve changing the chromosome then
this would be the movie I am most interested in as it already has a
plot that no one has done before. The story is fanciful as is so I
hope the writers and directors just take it an extra step and go
with this idea.

I hope they got a science advisor as biological phenotypical women
from birth can be XY if they have androgen insensitivity syndrome
and they're no more likely to transition than the general
population. In fact, a lot of people with ASH don't ever find out
and those that do often only find out incidentally.
