I have been writing the novel version of Psycho Sex Dolls, but it won't be ready until later this year.
It's not really in a novelization style. As far as I know, a novelisation is usually an adaptation of the films screenplay. More fleshed out with back stories about the characters and such.
The "concept" of the film will be the same, but the novel version won't be an adaptation of the micro budget screenplay of Psycho Sex Dolls. Why? Because when you write a novel, you're not restricted by a micro budget to tell the story.
You have the freedom to do the £200m version of the film. Your imagination can completely fly! It makes no sense to me to write the micro budget version, when I have so much more freedom in the novel.
However, when I wrote the micro budget screenplay, I came up with the concept for a micro budget film. If I had thought of this as a blockbuster film, and I'm going to shoot it on a tiny micro budget, I would have felt I was compromising so much. That wouldn't have been fun to make with that mindset.
I never felt that way at all, because Psycho Sex Dolls was conceived to be told as a micro budget story. A bit like a play in the one studio space location. After I finished shooting the film, my imagination then went to another level.
What version would I make if I had a huge budget? It would still be set at a studio, but a studio that was converted to a huge "VIP Gentlemen's Club" A place where every rich perverted low life wants to be a member, to fulfil their sick perverted sex fantasies on android sex dolls.
In the novel version, there's a hundred dolls, and the studio gets turned into this exclusive underground club. Of course, "Mia" is the one doll with the advanced brain, and her goal is to free all the dolls.
Which then turns the film into a horrific bloody slaughter fest, as she gets all the dolls to rise and fight back. It also turns into a horror action movie. A special military team have to try and rescue some men and contain the dolls within the building. This is the budget version story.
This will be the novel version, and if it was ever turned into a big movie, this is also the horrific action version of Psycho Sex Dolls. A very sexual film, that then morphs into horror and action.
I'm approaching the sequel film the same way I made the first film, as a micro budget movie story, but then the sequel novel will also be taken to another level.
The novel will be available as a paperback and for the kindle later this year. Via Amazon and other platforms. In the meantime, if you haven't seen Psycho Sex Dolls, you can see it on Amazon Prime now, and Apple TV from the 15th of May.
