Fox at Comic Con: What You Missed!



San Diego Comic Con celebrated the second season of Fox over the weekend. Although it wasn't so much of an announcement, it was the first time anyone from the show acknowledged rumors and theories regarding the future of everyone's favorite bad girl. Monroe Hayden, show-runner, producer and actress, talked during a panel about what to expect and how it was to create the series form scratch.

Here's what the talk included:

Season One
- It takes 4 hours to edit 2 minutes (sometimes even more).
- The show was inspired by fairytales, Disney movies, (and yes) American Horror StoryMarvel's Daredevil and Game Of Thrones
- The "one shot" fight scene was actually 5 shots put together and took over 50 man hours. It was inspired by Marvel's Daredevil.
Michael Lozano was not replaced by Hunter Tabiendo. His schedule changed unexpectedly and was not available to shoot but was committed to do what he could to fulfill his contract, so he provided Xander's voice. Hunter, who is also Monroe Hayden's cousin, saved the show by standing in. Due to scheduling, Xander will not be returning as a regular but he may return as a guest.
- Brandon Teague, executive producer, passed away in December but years before, he was the one who gave Fox her real name: Tristan Turner. She was named after the hero from Tristan & Isolde and artist, Michael Turner.

Season Two
- Entire season will be released at once so viewers can binge watch which is why it will be released in the summer rather than winter.
- Daisy will join the cast along with Priscilla, Bethany and even Rebecca.
- With Xander no longer being in the show, a new villain will step in and he has a past with Fox's parents.
Allyson Moyer will return as Mina Abrams and that her character will be a bad ass.
- Daisy and Fox's relationship will not be as it was written in the books but it will be in the spirit of it and still very romantic.
- The season will include horror elements as it did last season and follow in the same footsteps with the psychological theme.

Lights! Camera! Magic! A Season of Dreams Descends...


Nothing seems special anymore. It’s the day and age where manufacturing is at its best. Where most filmmaker’s rely on visual effects and where films depend on opening day earnings. Everything is about getting things done fast and making tons of money off of it. Is there anything wrong with getting projects done quickly? No. Is there anything wrong with making a lot of money for something you created? No. However, it is sad that our entertainment industry has changed its tune so quickly, within the span of a little more than a century. Instead of making a film to entertain, the goal of a modern- day filmmaker is to make a major blockbuster. Comes to show how much we change as people. Films today just aren’t what they used to be, are they?

So it’s no surprise with the rise of technology and software, essentially anyone can make a film that will visually surpass those made in the 1980’s. Independent filmmakers take matters in their own hands daily but the problem with that is most of them get lost in buying great equipment to mimic blockbuster films than in the editing room or more importantly, writing a really good story.

Monroe Hayden, 27, grew up within the entertainment industry. Her mother is a costume artist and her father was a prop master. Although her father wouldn’t play a big part in her life, her uncle’s helped introduce her to the world that is filmmaking. She is the niece of Andy Soria, an animator who has worked on films like, Behind Enemy Lines, Spider- Man 2 and The Punisher. However, it would be his little brother, filmmaker Steven A. Soria (Beautiful Fools; WATCH HERE), who would use a young Monroe Hayden in his films. She would assist him by “acting” in his homemade movies, making parodies of Star Wars, The Matrix and Fight Club with her cousins. Hey, every filmmaker starts off that way!

Although she hopes those films never see the light of day, they did open her eyes to visual storytelling. I suppose it’s safe to say that this is in her blood. So when a tiny web- series known as Fox started to turn heads, it was not surprising that she created it with the help of photographer, Adriana Escandon, 26.

The first season of Fox was created by a team of that included: Xavier Haven, 27, Brandon Teague, Thomas Galashiels, 32, Martin Hernandez, 27, Allyson Moyer, 20, Michael Lozano, 28, Johnny Weber, 23, Hunter Tabiendo, 23, Simone Aguilar, 22, Serena Diaz, 27, Coleman H., 21, Adriana Morena, 29, Marcus Wayne, 27, Josiah Gerrund, 25, Jay Tutherford, 27 and many more. The team was assembled by Hayden, herself led by her vision and pioneered by her determination to make a series that was simply good.

Fox’s first season tells the story of Mina Abrams who comes to discover who she is while trying to solve the mystery that is Fox, her best friend. Sounds simple enough, right? Not when Monroe Hayden and Xavier Haven write the story. The simple structure became layered with depth as the show ventured the past of Fox and Mina’s fallen friendship. The season offered emotional story arcs about self- acceptance, often starring Mina. “She’s at a stage in life where her reality is starting to take a sharp turn. Everything is on the verge of changing for her as she becomes a young adult. As she evolves, she begins to realize she isn’t who she thought she was going to be. She’s actually someone different but she’s starting to accept that different can be good, it depends how you decide to handle it,” says Hayden.

But the show also highlights chosen pain presented in the show’s villain, Xander. Chosen Pain is Xavier Haven’s term for, “choosing to hold onto something that causes you pain and torment for the sake of pride and revenge. Xander was hurt when Fox broke up with him but instead of moving on, he chose to hold onto his pain by seeking his revenge not because he’s a bad guy but because he felt he was a good guy who sacrificed so much to make her happy, only to realize he simply can’t. His pride gets the best of him. How can a good guy, like himself, sacrifice so much and not get rewarded in the end? He gave her his dreams and she turned them into nightmares. His issue isn’t really with Fox, though, it’s more so with himself. He feels like a failure and that can turn someone into a negative person and a negative person is capable of very dangerous things.”

Fox isn’t just a show about solving a mystery, the distinct underline is how these character’s handle the situations they’re in. Each character is faced with a choice, to do right or to do wrong. In the end, all the characters chose to do wrong things. Fox decided to deceive Mina while both Xander and Mina decided to seek their revenge after being hurt by her. Remarkably, Mina began with innocence and light but eventually followed the same dark path as Xander who served as the story’s foreshadowing of Mina’s future. Xander ended up being taken in the Dream World by Dream Demons then transferred into another phase of the universe, Limbo. Limbo is another term for the inability to escape. In all matters of art, Xander will live forever in the self- tormented bed he made for himself- or, he will live with his demons despite cheating the system, he still is out for revenge. Perhaps Limbo sends you back to reality because there is no hope for you? Mina, however, still has hope, if she chooses to.

The important thing to remember here is that this is a series and a series is like a bunch of little movies to make one gigantic movie and a movie is a story. These characters have all chosen the wrong paths but their story isn’t over. There is still hope for them to turn it all around. The interesting part is will they and if so, how?

It’s all part of that movie magic we all know and love. Although, movie magic is most commonly referred to special effects and camera tricks, it’s also referred to a film’s ability to emotionally connect with a viewer. Magic. Fox was able to make us blush when the titular character would physically pull Mina closer to her or push her down to fall on top of her. It made our eyebrows rise every time Fox growled sexually. It made us smile and hold our breath every time Fox and Mina almost kissed! It made us lean back, away from the screen when Mina’s sweet dream took a sharp turn towards nightmare alley. It made our jaws drop when Fox accidently hit Mina. It made us laugh when the girls got drunk in the back of a car. Or when Mina explained the real likelihood of Jurassic Park actually happening, which is very unlikely, by the way. It made us cry when Mina finally admitted she was gay and how scary that could be returning to the real world. It made us angry when we found out Fox was actually deceiving Mina about their memories together. It made us sad when we saw how Mina decided to handle it. It made us gush when we found out the reason Fox did what she did; because she chose Daisy over Mina and wanted to protect her. The show made us feel things. That, my friends, is what movie magic is about.

Next year, a new season will air continuing Fox's story.
