<i>Ben Jordan Must Die</i> is the second fan-film based on the popular AGS game series by Francisco "[[Grundislav]]" Gonzalez.

It stars the AGS community and the director's friends from Wallingford, Oxfordshire. The video is directed & edited by <i>Mark "[[m0ds]]" Lovegrove</i>, but as of March 2012 has not been fully released. | <i>Ben Jordan Must Die</i> is the second fan-film based on the popular AGS game series by Francisco "[[Grundislav]]" Gonzalez.

The "movie sequel" | The "movie sequel" parodies "straight to DVD" films. Two storylines occur during the video. It is also a crowd-source funded project thanks to members of the adventure game community and fans of the Ben Jordan series (and Le Chateau Macabre). The sequel's budget was roughly $400 (£250). | ||
During filming in Italy, one of the on-set jokes was about how a game called "John Sinclair - Voodoo In London" apparently took the Ben Jordan sprite and painted over it to create a new running sprite of John Sinclair. Because of this, Lovegrove decided to include a character called Sinclair in the film who "does a lot of running". | During filming in Italy, one of the on-set jokes was about how a game called "John Sinclair - Voodoo In London" apparently took the Ben Jordan sprite and painted over it to create a new running sprite of John Sinclair.

Unlike Le Chateau Macabre, BJ:MD is swamped with continuity errors. There are lots of AGS in-jokes, movies references & nods to Chateau Macabre. Lovegrove said "Some people found Chateau quite bleak - I wanted the sequel to be a lot more fun, more gothic looking, have a bigger adventure feel and a better payoff." | Unlike Le Chateau Macabre, BJ:MD is swamped with continuity errors.

With a runtime of 81 minutes, BJ:MD is Lovegrove's first feature film, and currently the only feature film made especially for the AGS community. | |||
