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!!
LOL. Registered today. Posted today. This is the only post ever of this guy. I think Achilles registeres secondary accounts to back his lie. Or he has told some good friend what's going on here.
You say you don't have to prove anything? Wrong answer if you want support of any kind.
EDIT: One other thing: Why would you call it Episode III if there already is one?
EDIT 2: I googled around a bit and there is no other mention of this anywhere besides the "official" website. And I didn't find a single word indicating that Mark Twitchell is connected to the movie business in any way. Something smells funny here... Especially there is no mention on any Star Wars page or forum as far as I can tell. That would be the first place something shows up. There is a "Dash Rendar" in Star Star Wars though.

I just found about this through the Edmonton FF forums.
http://boards.theforce.net/edmonton_ab/b10363/20208619/p1/?256
As someone who has been involved in Star Wars fanfilms in the Toronto area I know how much of an undertaking this is.
The Adam thing blew me away and I can see how people are skeptical.
I wish I was closer as I would love to help out. I have helped build sets and props for a student theatre show for over 14 years.
I am the Toronto FF chapter CR and I have 2 finished full size RC astromech droids. I have been modelling for over 20 years so full size props are no problem.
I don't post much here either but that doesn't make me a fake.
If you don't believe that I have a full size droid you can check out my web site for my droids, my models and another project I am working on.

Stop being such a jerk. He doesn't have to explain himself. And yet he did, politely, without being defensive or rude (can you say the same?).
He's calling it Episode 3 and a parsec. Several other fan-films set between episodes have used simmilar titles - Episode 2.5 and such.
And those who make fan-film, generally speaking aren't deeply connected to hollywood. It's generally a relative amature, looking to put together a project that shows their skills, set in a world they deeply enjoy. Think of it as a video calling-card.
So just back off the guy. If you're not interested, stop posting to the thread. Walk away, easy as that. He's not banging on your front door asking for cash. He put the info out, answered questions civily, and will go about his business with or without your support.
But all your troll accusations are turning you into the troll.
You can go about your business. Move along.

Strikes me as a waste of money and effort to create something you likely will not be able to commercially exploit. Don't get me wrong, as a filmmaker myself I understand the passion and it's not all about the money but I think your energies would be much better spent creating something new and original.
No disrespect intended, just my thoughts.
Cheers.

Sounds plausible to me.
Good luck! I hope this helps further both your and Adam's careers.

Honestly I exaggerated a lot here to make sure Achilles can clearly understand the suspicion he arouse among the more sceptical ones (including me, obviously). I wanted to push him a little to give us the full picture here and it worked - we got some illuminative answers he should have told us the first place.
I'm still having my doubts though, but I'll keep them to myself until I see some Screencaps, Footage, trailer or whatever of this thing.

I don't see it as a waste of money at all.
I'm currently working with a group of people that in the process of making a Firefly Fanfilm/Series. We're doing it out of the love of the series, not to make money.
We're not going to sell the movie or anything. Non of the people working on this are going to be paid. We just want to tell a great story that adds to the show.
Think of it as a Fanfic.... only with moving pictures.

OMG!!! Adam Baldwin in Edmonton! I'm only an hour away!! *faints*
In all seriousness though, that's fantastic. Hope it does well and I'll definitely be checking it out. Unfortunately I don't have any excess cash to donate.
"Sir, you actually said 'wink, wink'. I don't think that -"
"Oh, you'd be surprised."
"Yes, the new plan will STILL involve rocket skates."
"YAY!"

Oh, I know, just it seems that if he's got all this help, a 40 piece orchestra, help from the Goverment, etc, that and the energy of all who are helping would be better utilised on something original. Guess it's just me.
Cheers.
