This storm killed more than 6,000 men, women and children, and among the dead were 10 sisters and 90 children from the St. Mary&#8217;s Orphans Asylum. Judging from his introspective and brooding episode of Angel he recently directed, we could be in for a mammoth disaster movie with characters we actually CARE about. Take a look at <b>Rasputin&#8217;s<\/b> report:<\/p>\n<p>This is <b>Rasputin the Evil Balrog<\/b> reporting in from the Lone Star State. Sean Astin was in College Station, Texas, today at the Texas Film Festival to present his short film &#8220;The Long and the Short of it.&#8221; His film was awarded the Jury Prize for Best Short.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to a moderated discussion, a Q&#038;A, and a look at clips from Sean&#8217;s prevous films, Sean surprised the audience by telling us that he &#8220;wanted to make an announcement.&#8221; It seems that Sean&#8217;s film company, Lava Entertainment, has optioned the rights to make a film about the Galveston Hurricane of 1900. He says it is going to be a large-scale film &#8220;of epic proportions&#8221;, and (hopefully!) he&#8217;d like to film in Texas. Yeehaw!<\/p>\n<p>I took notes throughout the event, which included some really great stories from Sean and his insights into filmmaking. Hopefully, I&#8217;ll have a chance to write them up in full and get some pictures online within the next couple of days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Xoanon here: If Sean&#8217;s plans to make a film about the Galveston Hurricane of 1900 pan out, we&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[138],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25793","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-old-special-reports"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1tLoH-6I1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25793","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25793"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25793\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25793"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25793"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25793"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
