I found something weird on youtube that is made to look like a trailer for a new
Manfred von Richthofen movie.
It was added in mid-June so is still quite new. It puzzled me- I thought it could only be a hoax but I liked the message that clip brought across.
“When he was finally shot down and killed – he was buried with full military honors – BY THE ENEMY- why did they do this?”
I tried to access the website
www.manfredthemovie.com but it requires a password.
So I wrote an email to
info@manfredthemovie.com, not too friendly, I suppose, because by that time I was beginning to feel spoofed, to say the least.
I did not expect a reply but I got one which I quote here because it is interesting:
Chris,
I cannot reveal details about the project to the general public just yet and the website exists purely for the use of those working on the film. The website is secure for a reason and will remain so until the film is scheduled for general release.
Christopher
A visit to his website (christophernicholson.com) showed that Christopher is obviously a writer/director and is working on a 35mm feature film called "Manfred".
I stilll don’t know what to make of this.
Have you heard about it? What do you think?
