Title: Feronnikka Thraaal OUT of Kharn Biopic!?!

VIOLENT DELIGHTS MAGAZINE DAILY NEWSLETTER

In another blow to the troubled ‘Snuff Blockbuster’ Kharn: Rise Of The Faithful, lead actress Feronnikka Thraaal has CONFIRMED that she is no longer attached to play Lotara Sarrin. The actress posted the following to her PictArchive:

“I know that I have so many fans across the Sanguinary Upanishad who were excited to see me die in Kharn, but due to scheduling conflicts I will now be dying in Blood Pact: Origins. I wish everyone working so hard to bring the character of Kharn the Faithful to life the very best! Blood for the Blood God, hate, xoxo”

The Office for the Propagation of Pertinent Information has already sunk 130 Million Ration-Skript into the pict, which is scheduled for release in less than one cycle. Talk around the ministry is that discussions have already taken place about whether it may be time to cut their losses - talks that will only get more intense now that the film’s romantic lead is out.

The 14x Valkyrie airborne assault carriers in question have been re-routed to conduct a routine genocide in the Southlands combat theatre. They will be returned to your production when the operation is concluded, provided that this is strategically expedient.

Title: tip from the kharn set

So I really shouldn’t be writing to you since I submitted to ritual scarification for this contract, but by Khorne’s big brass balls the Kharn production is OFF THE RAILS.

I work in a technical role on the set (won’t say what obviously) and here are just a few of the problems I’ve seen:

OUT OF CONTROL STIM USE: There are literally stims laid out on the catering table. AlMukazzad is getting four-hundred sk of stims delivered to his mobile hab DAILY. Vertimos literally shot the Armatura scene on Frenzon. He ate a guy. The producers are filling him with so much stuff to bulk him up that he thinks he IS Kharn half the time. His hormones are all messed up. He started lactating and it ruined a take.

WASTE OF SACRIFICIAL RESOURCES: This is really down to the OCC but the way AlMukazzad handled it was not okay. We’re burning through extras worse than stims: we requested 30,000 B-grade sacrificial victims for the big Istvaan scene, but what we got were C grade at best. This might seem like no big deal, but try getting a truly painful death out of an 87-year old tribal who’s been begging to die since before Cadia fell. AM went and shot the scene anyway, wasting about three mil sk for four minutes of footage that he burnt to get our dark patron Utu (exalted is He in Khorne's favour) to bless our new all-binauric picters, which he then declared ‘trash’ and went back to picting on 35mm.

WASTE OF TALENT: We’re on to our third Angron because AlMukazzad keeps shooting them. Like I’m sorry that the only actors desperate enough to sign on to this shitshow can’t ‘embody’ a thirteen-foot tall demigod when there’s a stubber to their head.

OVER SCHEDULE, OVER BUDGET: This isn’t my first grox rodeo. I know directors can be highly strung, and I could excuse all of it if the pict was going to actually get made. Right now we’ve shot five hours of material over two cycles and we still don’t have a finished script. Who starts shooting without a script? And this is supposed to be ‘the beginning of a World Eaters cinematic universe’?

Print anything you want from the above, but for Khorne’s sake keep me anonymous.

Title: ‘Kharn: Rise of the Faithful’ Test Audience

Dear Pactsman AlMukazzad,

Having conducted test screenings of your pict ‘Kharn: Rise of the Faithful’, we can share the following insights into audience reception.

1) The most common response was ‘too much talking (dialogue)’. Test audiences were generally confused as to why a snuff film had narrative elements, which took up over 22% of screen time.

2) Other test audience members noted:

2.1: ‘Could see that they had swapped the actor playing Kharn for an Ogryn in several scenes’

2.2: ‘Why wasn’t Feronnikka Thraaal in it? She’s hot as (expletive)’

2.3: ‘You can’t hear Kharn’s (expletive) talking because of his mask’

2.4: ‘In the Istvaan scene you can see that the actors playing the corpse-worshipper space marines are clearly beastmen, children or the elderly’

2.5: ‘When Garskin appears they talk like he’s been in the pict all along - were his other scenes cut out?’

2.6: ‘Angron tells Kharn that he must retrieve his sacred chainaxe and that the entire Heresy rests on this mission but that isn’t ever mentioned again.

2.7: Numerous instances of microphone servitors, various production crew in shot, actors holding cups of caff.

Based upon the qualitative data we have gathered from this early cut of the pict, the Office for Propagation of Pertinent Information must deny any further requests for funding or sacrificial victims to complete the production and we would recommend that production cease immediately.

Title: Hearts of Darkness SOARS to 1 billion sk Box Office!

VIOLENT DELIGHTS MAGAZINE DAILY NEWSLETTER

Hearts of Darkness, the critically-acclaimed ‘behind the scenes’ docu-snuff composed of footage from the aborted Kharn: Rise of the Faithful has broken box office records, becoming the first pict in the recorded history of the Sanguinary Utnapishtim to make over 1 billion sk.

Director and star Guinan Stigwick told Violent Delights that: “Thousands of people suffered immensely - but, alas, inefficiently - during the production of (Kharn). It is a huge honour to have their non-sacrifice recognised. I have always believed that snuff films can do more than just entertain - they can inspire. I want everyone to come away from the theatre knowing that simply spilling blood isn’t enough: Khorne demands that even pict directors have the same martial discipline and pride that Kharn embodied and which Camino (Al Mukazzad) didn’t.”

Violent Delights’ lead pict critic Malith Voil had this to say in his five-skull review: “Hearts of Darkness reinvents the snuff genre. From now on, it is not enough to simply watch people die, we need to know why they are dying. This pict doesn’t merely show over one million on-screen deaths, it asks its audience: why do we kill? How can our deaths be considered meaningful? What does Khorne want from us?

Its most affecting moments are not those in which a Frenzon-addled Kharpasmant Ventimos beats a Best Boy to death with a prop chain axe, it is not the prometheum-bombing of the production’s entire second unit - they are the quiet interludes in which Stigwick’s boat floats lazily up the Nung river to confront a director now become every bit as tyrannical as the Coward Guilliman. It is our first shot of AlMukazzad, bloated to over six-hundred pounds from stim-use, and the words he speaks when Stigwick finally ends his life with a machete: “This is cinema. Cinema..””
