JEREMY LONDON JOINS “BONEJANGLES 2”—AND “3”!
FRIDAY, JUNE 29, 2018
I'm BEYOND excited to announce that Jeremy London has signed on for Bonejangles 2. He's best known for having lead roles in cult classic movies and TV shows such as Mallrats, Party of Five, 7th Heaven, Gods and Generals, and Journey to the Center of the Earth.

Picking up after the events of Bonejangles, supernatural serial killer, Edgar Friendly Junior a.k.a. Mr. Bonejangles, is inadvertently resurrected by a mysterious and sinister cult of followers of the succubus witch, Rowena. Mr. Bonejangles wastes no time picking up where he left off and sets his sights on hapless police officer Doug Partridge, the one who got away from him. But Rowena’s followers have plans of their own on Bonejangles.... plans that may spell doom for the very world itself.
At the same time, Doug attempts to move on with his life alongside his one and only love, Sally. But fate has other plans for our heroes. Sally’s older sister, Susan, a.k.a. Susie Homemaker, holds an ever lasting sisterly grudge against Sally that leads to her kidnapping Doug in an insane quest for revenge.
Our heroes soon find themselves trapped between two unkillable maniacs out for blood and things get even worse when these two fiends come face to face in BONEJANGLES 2: BRIDE OF BONEJANGLES.
Now let's quickly rewind back to 2017 when Bonejangles first released nationwide through Wild Eye Releasing:

Bonejangles was completely funded by private investors; however this time around we're taking it straight to the heart of what makes the horror industry tick: THE FANS! We're just now starting to see money coming in from Bonejangles; however it's not enough to make Bonejangles 2 happen so here we are! We've been a part of successful crowdfunding campaigns so we know what to expect and we've learned from our own mistakes and the mistakes of others. Here's what we know about where our finances will go:
The money raised will go directly toward:
Casting - This is a huge part of our budget. We're bringing back the ORIGINAL CAST members plus some amazing new talent! This is the only way I'd shoot Bonejangles 2. Our cast consists of a lot of veterans and some known actors that deserve every penny they get paid.
Makeup/Creature FX - This is something we're amping up from the first Bonejangles. Bigger & More Over-the-Top kills! We're bringing in a bigger team this time to really hit this hard. Bonejangles 2 is story driven but bringing the fans quality gore and pfx is one of our many top priorities!
Production insurance - A necessary evil. We have to have it otherwise I'm putting the lives of our cast and crew at risk.
Hiring experienced crew - Production crews work hard, long days. It's going to take a group of hard working talent individuals to make Bonejangles 2 happen.
Cast/Crew Meals & Transportation - People eat... a lot! And good hearty food is good for morale. We try to save money where we can but people get hangry...
Lodging - For Bonejangles we rented out an old Elementary school for a month and moved right on in with the whole cast & crew! For Bonejangles 2, we'll need to house a large group of cast and crew for about 3 consecutive weeks. Somebody could make a reality show out of that.
Equipment Rental (Camera, grip, lighting equipment) - We own a lot of our own equipment but some of our budget will go toward renting camera lenses, industrial fog machines, wind machines, etc.
Location Scouting & Permit Fees - This will likely be a very small part of our budget but aesthetics are huge and finding the perfect shoot locations are key since we don't film on a studio back lot.
Set Design & Construction - We're pretty damn handy, and we can design/build a lot of our own sets. This helps add to the uniqueness of the Bonejangles universe.
Wardrobe & Props - Having the right wardrobe and props is a necessity. The actors need to look their part, right? This is one of my favorite things to coordinate.
& last but not least:
Fullfilling Pledge Rewards!!
** We are aiming to raise $80,000 which should get us through production. The remaining money needed ($20,000) will be acquired through IGG In-Demand Services (merch sales, pre-orders, etc.) and private funding.
Stretch Goals: We will be adding stretch goals as the campaign rolls on. The more money we raise the more we can put into post production, sound mixing, visual effects (limited but necessary), original score, & festival fees.

For those who haven't seen or heard of Bonejangles, we thought it would be a good idea to include some links to articles, press releases, and reviews that covered the film's journey. It's also a way for you to check out what Bonejangles is all about and what to expect with Bonejangles 2! It's going to be more of the same awesomeness!

There are a lot of things that can go wrong throughout the movie process. We can have the best laid out plan and yet situations could arise that could either delay production or halt production, however we'll be doing our best to minimize these from ever occurring by thorough prep work and pre-production. Our team is dedicated and experienced; having dealt with many if not all of these issues before. We work well together, and we have a good track record. Some examples of what could go wrong are discussed below.
Locations/On-Set:
The majority of filming will likely occur in real locations and not on a controlled set. Due to this being the case, weather could delay shooting for a short period of time or an extended period of time. If this occurs, it will likely increase cost in terms of lodging and food for cast and crew and equipment rental fees. Additional obstacles that could occur are actor illnesses and/or death, which could delay production or halt production indefinitely.
Practical Make-Up / Gore / Creature FX:
Bonejangles 2 will include a slew of very complex practical makeup effects and creature designs. There will be animatronics which can also bring their own issues. To pull these off we need a lot of prep time and the products cannot simply be purchased. We'll do our best to minimize any issues such as delays on set, broken props, etc. by having a highly knowledgeable and talented team.
Money:
The $80,000 we are raising will go towards pre-production and production costs. We're bringing back the ORIGINAL CAST which is the only way I'd make Bonejangles 2. The cast is the reason why Bonejangles has been so successful this far, and they deserve every dollar we pay them and then some! We want to make sure our talent is paid their worth as well as everybody else on this production. I directed Bonejangles for $0, and I plan on directing Bonejangles 2 for $0 as well.
$80,000 is A LOT of money. There's no doubt about that. If I thought we could make Bonejangles 2 for cheaper than that, I would. We made Bonejangles for less than that, but we have to up the anty this time.
There is a lot that has to be done and be done correctly throughout this process in order to have a quality finished movie. If unforeseen circumstances cause the production phase to become more costly, we plan to reach out again to private investors for funds to complete the project.
The aforementioned risks and challenges hopefully won't occur; however we feel prepared to handle them if they do.
