Last summer, back when no one was reading this site, we did a little online investigation into Joseph Duncan, the sex offender (and “computer whiz”) from Fargo who killed and kidnapped more people than you want to know. The blog he left behind, The Fifth Nail, became a strange archive of the interior monologue of one seriously fucked up dude. This story should end here, but in one of the weirdest acts of artistic influence ever concocted, Duncan’s blog is being turned into a movie. You read that right — not Duncan’s life; rather, his crazy blog. See for yourself from the trailer recently dropped on iFilm. BLOG, directed by Bert Frishman, who seems to be a local because he appeared in last year’s Free Range Film Festival, looks something like NIN meets The Ring Two meets a Fargo snow storm.

I’m leaving open the possibility that this could be a hoax. I’m trying to contact the director.

Doesn’t look like a hoax. A little heavily edited, though.

Meaning that it looks like the filmmaker lost control with the editing options in Final Cut Pro.

The director emailed me this info:
“The movie is in production and is projected to finish post by mid 2007. There will be a website soon. No other information is currently available at this time.”

is it me or does that theme music sound strangely like NIN? i also think the editing is a bit too Natural Born Killers for my taste.

I think it’s a remix of Sanctified.
And the movie looks like it’s going to be good.

Actually, I’m an idiot. It’s from Closer.

That movie looks terrible.

Somebody get that man some information about his movie! You’d think he would be able to find out more about it, being the director and all.
