Freeborn - REborn

My wife is graduate from film school, she was telling me how public funding is really starting to be a huge success for indie movies now. As long as the fans are there, it can easily help a movie. Biggest example was "Paranormal Activity", now youtubers like FreddieW aka Freddie Wong and the Angry Video Game Nerd are using the same mediums to successfully make a movie...

Don't knock it, there's huge potential

one more thing, shopping for investors whether private or big studios is a very tiring, long drawn out process. If he doesn't have a respected name to back him, it makes all the more difficult.

So I'm sure, while he was shopping the movie around, he ultimately had to keep busy with other projects. Film making is one of the BIGGEST pains in the ass you could ever imagine.

Give Brownrigg his due, i'm sure he's busted his ass to make this movie happen. I applaud him for not giving up, especially after 8 years.

That's for certain, but it is kind of annoying seeing people start discarding the possibilities and even throwing flames at it and the person/people behind the project without really backing up what they are claiming, as if they had been part of the work that has been done on it, were there during the times the idea was propossed to sponsors and the likes, and knew why exactly this project had not seen much of a progress so far.

There have been multiple tries to find a sponsor trough the past years, if I remember well only 1 barely agreed to sponsor it but only if the project was pretty much sold to the studio/company/whatever and completely changed from the original ideas.

Most movies are not made free folks, even less ones of this genera with the amount of quality people expect from it. Because certainly the overall idea could had been done with just a home camera and some crappy makeup, but certainly the people behind it, the werewolf fandom and those who don't just conform with crap quality stuff don't want that (and even should it get done I bet people will still bitch about one thing or another, no matter how much effort was put into it).

No wonder many people drop down the towel in this fandom, too many people crying for constant updates on everything and for free...

Yes, I undestand all you are saying. But as I said before, I am one of those guys who tried to support the movie, maybe not with money, but with ideas, fandom and free ad and promotion on Internet whenever I could. We didn't expect much, but received nothing. Yeah, no money was given, but our time (at least mine) is not free. I repeat, I wish Anthony the best, but not with my money nor my time. I've had so many deceptions, this not the smallest one, and if I am responsible to ruin your "mood", then I must apology, but I can't change my mind about it.

Let's just hope that if it does go through, that even though it may not have a decent story, that the process will be better than most of the bullshit we get nowadays. (Mostly offscreen or rushed *poof* "I'm a wolf sequences"). Here's hoping for the best.

Back in 2010 I noticed in the recently published
"Book of Dragons" that the 20 mainstream commercial
fantasy writers had no problem with 'transformation'
but avoided ' transformation sequence' ( process )
like it was the Black Death.

IOW process was dead at the mainstream commercial level in 2010

So when I saw this thread about Brownrigg making a pitch for
cash to produce a process heavy film
my "Shyster Alarm" was blaring out
< Red Alert Red Alert > pretty loudly

... riiight, it would had if people even knew what the heck you are talking about.

[Cursebearer]

He's saying the fact that a dragon book published with little to no explicit process proves that TF is dead in the mainstream and unlikely to be displayed in any satisfying fashion.

The logic's not GOOD but I understood it.

[morwalugi]

Basically I'm saying Brownrig's market timing is off.His product
isn't what the market ( $$$$$$$$$$$$ gobbling movie making)
wants at this time

[Cactus Jack]

Fuck what the "market" wants, I want to see this movie made.

Just ignore him, he has no idea what he's talking about. I doubt he even comprehends that this is an indie film with fan support and not some hollywood bullshit.

It'll probably show up in a film festival somewhere and hopefully go straight to DVD afterwards, that's the best case scenario.

No it's fan-made BS. I was on those forums during the heyday. People had some STUPID ideas about werewolves on there and I'm pretty positive at least some of those ideas will be in the film. Here's a great example, "Poll: Should the Werewolves have Acid Spit?" People were in favor of it. Seriously?
