Stranded 2 Shoots and Finishes with Blackmagic Design

PostThu Nov 10, 2022 7:35 pm

With the release of the original YouTube video “Stranded On Treasure Island” in 2019, filmmaker, magician and internet personality Zach King promised his fans that he would produce a sequel if the film received over 250,000 likes. It didn’t take long to reach 810,000 likes and 18 million views; “Stranded 2” went into preproduction shortly after, with Producer, Director and Writer Josh Fapp at the helm.

The original film, which follows King and his friend Nate on a magical quest searching for the lost gold of Calico Jack on Treasure Island, was a much smaller story, but the intention was to bring a much bigger scope and higher production value to the sequel. “It’s always scary doing a sequel to a successful video,” said Fapp. “From the start, we were asking ourselves what we could do to make this one just as good, or better.”

The plan was to pick up right where the first film left off, with King and Nate being captured by pirates. “From there, we started throwing ideas at the wall to see what would stick,” added Fapp. “It would be awesome to have a real pirate ship! We should have Zach and Nate sword fight! What if there was an artifact that turned whatever it touched to gold?!”
