I'm extremely suspicious...
...if a moderator is reading that has access to IP addresses that have been used to register forum accounts, I'd like SAPPHIREJ and ACHILLES both checked...
If they're the same, that will confirm my suspicions..
Achilles, as a fan of both Star Wars and Firefly, I really hope you're not lying.

OMG, thanks so much for the recreation of that great scene in the movie...
Dr. Mathias (CBY): Excuse me! No one is allowed in the records room without my express permission.
The Operative (Achilles): Forgive me. I prefer to see the event alone, without bias.
Dr. Mathias (CBY): I need to see your clearance.
The Operative (Achilles): And you are right to insist. ...
Dr. Mathias (CBY): Apologies. ...

I tend to agree to an extent. I would not put that much effort into something I couldn't conceivably make money on.
However, most movies, shorts or features, made at this level don't make any money anyway. So, if this is intended as a "director's calling card" type of movie, Star Wars is as good as any subject.
There have even been working professional directors who've played this game. The short film Batman: Dead End (Batman vs. Alien vs. Predator) was made by a commercial director.
And I have heard from other directors of high-end fan-films that doing a Star Wars movie is exactly how they got so many people involved. If they had been doing something original, not as many people would have volunteered to help. I don't know that that's the story with this film, but I'd bet that has a bit to do with it. I know there's a lot of Star Wars bashers on this site, but there are a LOT of SW fans out there. In terms of this generation of filmmakers, probably 3/4 of them will say they got into film because of SW.

I also question the "buying" of a camera. Who will own it when it's done? I'd love to get people to donate so I can buy myself new equipment but I just can't bring myself to do it. We own high end gear purchased ourselves but for an upcoming project, we're budgeting the rental of newer stuff for the shoot. Much better way to go these days now that the technology is changing so fast.
Cheers.

I agree with that. Most of my stuff I've shot on my own consumer-grade cam. For the last one, we borrowed a prosumer-grade cam. For the next one, we'll own a HD 24p camera. I would lean toward rental myself, but my production partner has been saving for years, and really has his heart set on it. And I get to use it for free, so who am I to argue?

Free camera use is always good :) I've seriously considering getting a new HD cam, but when I looked at the cost vs renting, and also considered that for now anyway, there's no effective way to deliver the content in HD I decided it's much better to wait until the technology matures and just rent.
Cheers.

Keep in mind, this guy is from Canada... and Canadians do all kinds of weird stuff... ;)
I say, let's keep our (skeptical) ears to the ground, see (hear?) what turns up in the next week or so, before we blast him as a mere troll.

Hello everyone again.
I need to make an update on this and a correction. I apologize for jumping the gun but I've been in contact with Steve Siebert, Adams agent and it seems we've had a miscommunication.
When my offer was agreed upon I was under the impression that we were good to go which is why I began this thread in the first place. It seems though that I was mistaken about the level of agreement we had reached. I will therefore act responsibly and remove any info in this thread regarding the matter.
I will post more information when and if it becomes available. For now, keep the faith and thank you for all your kind words of encouragment.

Hey, I'm from Canada and I don't do weird stuff. Except for the time when... Hmm, and then there was...
Uhm, never mind... :P
