Long time, no update! Lots of great things have been happening. The big premiere of
The Bride Wore Blood at the Davenport IMAX went great.
The showing sold out and management scrambled to add a second showing later that evening! The film also garnered positive reviews in the Quad City Times
and the River Cities' Reader. Since then, the gentlemen of Blue Box Ltd.
have been working on the upcoming DVD release of the film, including outtakes, interviews, behind-the-scenes photos and tons of other extras. We just screened it not
too long ago and it has some really nice features. It even has a composer interview!
Along with the Bride Wore Blood DVD, Scott and Blue Box are going to be
publishing the piano sheet music to the Main Theme from The Bride Wore Blood,
composed by Metrolites lead man Scott Morschhauser. It will be available worldwide this spring, coinciding with the DVD release.
Also coming up is the "Hollywood on the Mississippi" film festival at the Capitol Theatre on Saturday, April 21.
From the press release:
Hollywood will come to the banks of the Mississippi on April 21, 2007, with a film festival at Davenports beautiful Capitol Theatre.

Our very own Scott Morschhauser will be appearing at the Quad Cities Film Fest to give a presentation on his work as a film composer. Reserve your tickets today!
Also in the works is the upcoming release of Somos Las Bolas,
a new short film by Andrew Edmark and Snapshot Pictures. Scott composed and engineered the music to the film, and performed the music along with Metrolites
guitarist Kathleen Gallagher. We just saw an early DVD cut and it looks great! Director Andrew Edmark and producer Harry Day also helped design and photograph the
artwork for the Metrolites' For The People. Be on the lookout for this fine film to come out on DVD later this spring!
We hope to see you at the premiere of The Bride Wore Blood Saturday night at 7:30 at the Putnam IMAX in Davenport.
The Metrolites' Scott Morschhauser composed the original score and the Metrolites performed the theme to the movie. You may have caught the articles and appearances with Scott and the
