Why don't you just answer our questions to sort things out?
What were your previous projects?
Why would Adam Baldwin participate?
Any comment on that "professional" google mail adress?
How did you come in contact with a 40 men orchester and the stunt guy from Blade III?
Any comment on your budget for all this?
Any comment on the companies your are working with?
Any comments on your sponsors?
Where is the studio, where do you get your equipment from?
Before you answer at least a few of this I'll stick to the troll theory for the time being. If it's true what you claim all these questions must be a piece of cake for you to answer.

There are copyright laws provision that allow for parody. He can't sue if it is a parody. Does anyone remembers Weird Al's parody of "Gangsta's Paradise" by Coolio? Coolio was mad about it but couldn't sue (if he could he would have, unless he was lying.) So this so called film sounds like a way to take money from people that seem to want spend money from something they like. I would not pay any money with out a contract and a lawyer present. Thgis way you know that you know aren't acting blindly and with a whole world of stupidity.

First of all, I have to say that a few weeks ago, I was at a friend of mine's Film convention(FilmCon for any of you who might be familiar with it) and I sat in on a panel that Achilles was holding, about this project that he is working on. I was completely blown away by all of the thought process that was being put into this and all the effort, time and money he is going to and has invested into it. I can attest to the fact that this is a very real project that he is working on and I think it is very admirable that he was able to get Adam Baldwin for the part of Dash Rendar. I can understand how people might have some concerns about this and how people would wonder why Adam would even consider doing a fanfilm, but I think that rather than bashing Achilles and throwing around accusations, people should see him for the talent and 'lucky' individual that he is. So, good luck Achilles on this project!!

I'm usually quick to call "troll!", but this looks legit. The website is pretty detailed, and Adam has done small projects in the past (anyone know about the "Dance Party" thing he did, playing a goofy cop?). So I believe you.
But our fandom is filled with trolls as of late. Try not to feel bad about people not believing you. Adam will confirm it if it's true sooner or later, and then folks will stop worring so much.
Good luck! Looks like you're making a dream come true for yourself.

You are correct in that statement, however not all of the films I'm referring to are parodies...some of them are additions to his regular story line that a fan wants to develop. He does welcome those ideas and has to give approval on some things because of copyright laws. I know how some people feel about George Lucas, but he remembers that he started out as a small time independent film maker and promotes others who are really trying.
I used to work in the entertainment industry for a time and I do understand how a lot of this works. I applaud Achilles and his efforts, for this is not an easy feat. And if Adam has signed on, then even better. Perhaps he's thinking, "gee, why not...might be fun."

I know I always become suspicous when anyone mentions sending money.
