May it not suffer the same fate as WARRIOR SON.
Does anyone remember that one?

Just in case Christopher The Creator Of MTM decides to visit us here:
Go Chris Go!
Go Chris Go!

Chris has been working on this Project for 7 years now, the Stella Advert came about following him spending some money to do a little short to find out what was involved in Aerial photography and what the costs and problems might be!
The funding is taking time due to the fact he is deterined to keep it away from Hollywood and become another "Flyboys"

I'm sure I am speaking for everyone here at the Forum if I say that we will be glad to offer any kind of help, knowledge, constructive criticism, stupid remarks and lending of artefacts that Chris may need as long as he rewards us with a GOOD MvR motion picture.

Have just checked with Chris, the Stella footage is not his but the reason for it being on the web page is that the guy who was head of SFX on that ad is now head of SFX for Manfred" The same methods that were used shooting the Stela add will be used to Shoot "Manfred"

Are you aware that you will be the most wanted person around here for the next few months, having outed yourself as our Link To The Source?

Hi Dromers:

I did contact Christopher and he did write back. He gave me access to the site along with the script and business plan. He has asked me to read over the script and let him know what I think. I along with a select few have been given this privilege and he has asked me not to give it out or reveal the content. Please don't ask me because I gave him my word.

Christopher has clearly stated that this is a feather film and not a History Channel documentary. Therefor this has to be marketable to the investors and the studio as well.

I can keep you posted on what's going on when more detail is released.

In case it´s an honest project I can´t wait to watch the whole thing

But as the trailer is just too kind of "pop" for my taste I am not so sure about it

Laserlloyd · 30 August 2008, 05:14 AM

That's not the trailer, no footage have been shot yet.

If you read the other posts you will see that the clip is not a trailer it is an advert that was shotfor Stella. The reason its on the site is that it share's the Same head of SFX as "Manfred". Dont knock it before its even been made!!!
If, and i mean if, the rest of the required funding can be found then filming will hopefully start summer 2009.

The last thing I want to do is to "knock" the project in fact I am more than anxcious to learn the result

Yet my fascination is somewhat clouded by the trouble it might be kind of hoax
