and was nearly sick. I felt desperation for them, elation, sadness, shared their hatred... watch and see what you think.
trust me, Kreta would make a fookin brilliant war film... !Gary, I work in film, and have always thought the same. I was thinking about doing a low-budget short about Kreta, and seeing if I can get the ball rolling on a proper script. All from the German perspective, and the heartache that campaign was.Jaws wrote:If anyone from hollywood is reading this... contact me

No offence intended...but I think if one will do a FJ version of BOB I think that it should be HBO that sponsors it and give it all they can give...if you're gonna make a movie about the Germans it has to be epic...as people will be going in with critisisme in their mind already (Just because it's about the "baddies") so one has to make sure that you can't give them stuff to complain about...a low budget film might do that...Goethe wrote:Gary, I work in film, and have always thought the same.

Unsere Mütter, Unsere Väter is fantastic by the way, have watched it a few times and it really is a great piece of film.
It's amazing what you can do with connections via the reenacting community, film community, and kameraden who share the same passion. Low budget or not, it all lies in the resources and knowledge of the period. I feel like I could do a great short film, at cost, and do great justice to one of the many stories from that period.Oberleutnant Ulrich wrote:

Imagine LOTR filmed by a low budget group...too many fans would be crying their pants off.

I want to make it happen.
) but then, like most reenactors they are all in their 40s...then if you film a FJ movie...it just won't cut it despite the best intentions. Don't get me wrong, not trying to kill your idea, it's just limited to what we have today...we need more young lads!!!
but I hope they decide to do something like this before they think of playing Marvel and remaking another spiderman movie

You can throw as much PYRO around as you like...but at the end of the day, no re-enactment can relive -35 to -50 degrees below zero, watching your Kameraden being blown to pieces by Katushers or mown down by machine gun fire, or watching their homeland being RAPED by the Russians. !
