City help sought to film movie
By ANTHONY TROJAN Daily Light staff writer

For the past few weeks, movie cameras have been rolling around Waxahachie, shooting scenes for an independent film.

Filming has taken place on both private and public land, though the latter is “with little interference to normal activities,” Assistant City Manager Michael Scott said in a recent memo to the City Council.

On Monday night, the council approved additional requests for use of city property under conditions as recommended by city staff.
In coming weeks, more space will be required to shoot some of the film’s action sequences.

The film, which was written and is being directed by its leading man Dolph Lundgren, is entitled “Missionary Man.”

According to the Internet Movie Database, the film tells a story about “a stranger (who) shows up in an Indian reservation town involving bikers, drugs and mysticism.”
According to Scott’s memo, organizers sought authorization to barricade Franklin Street from Elm to Rogers Street from 6:30 a.m.-7:30 p.m. May 7, 8 and 9, though the last of these days is optional.

All but one of the business owners in the area have consented to the closing, though, Scott noted, the business which did not consent is one that is open by appointment only. As a condition of approval, movie organizers are required make another good faith effort to negotiate with the non-consenting business owners.

The film will also utilize Spring Park, which is located near the lake, and Lake Waxahachie from 5:30 p.m.-5:30 a.m. on March 16 and 17 to shoot night scenes, which will include night boating, an explosion and shooting scenes. According to staff, the explosion will use propane and should not result in an environmental concern.
As a condition of approval, organizers are required to notify all homeowners around the lake in writing of their operations on and around the lake and provide a timeframe as to when the explosions will take place.

The two conditions codify recommendations from the city staff, which also recommended that the council ensure that any and all debris resulting from the movie’s operations on public land be completely removed, that Franklin Street be reopened at the earliest possible time every day it is barricaded and that “all sites be left in the same or better condition than when the filming began.”

A few words from the 2nd assistant director on MM:

We're shooting south of Dallas in a town called Waxahachie and even further south on Lake Whitney.

The shoot is going well. We're on our last week of principle photography and then a smaller crew will finish out a few more days of 2nd Unit stuff and a day of some reshoots. We're shooting on super 16 and a couple of scenes had scratches.

Dolph is a very nice guy! Very easy to approach and to get along with. He's very focused since he's directing and the lead actor so we try not to distract him too much, especially with all the onlookers who would like his autograph. We wait till it looks like he may have a moment to himself before we bring a fan to him to either sign a photo or take a photo. He obliges his fans as much as he can. I've yet to see him send anyone away.


and she said the the cinematographer is Bing Rao so it must be the same who did "Diamond Dogs" I guess but on IMDB there's Xiaobing Rao and Bing Rao so I 'm not sure, they could be the same...

It must be the same guy, otherwise it's too much of a coincidence. It probably means the guy did a good job on DD. I reckon DD must be finishing up post-production around about now. They're probably onto scoring the film now.

WOW! Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Brilliant! Can't wait for this movie. Should be quite interesting and hopefully packed with cheesy but well directed action.
Woo hoo! Thanks for that! :lol:

Thanks for that! I think Dolph suits the blonde hair, his character looks as if he may be a bit of an evil hard ass. Interesting.. :lol:

Jeff completed the filming of MISSIONARY MAN starring Dolph Lundgren in March 2007. This is a modern western set on an Indian reservation and was filmed on location in Dallas, Texas. Jeff plays a troubled, lonely man injured from a gunshot wound. His interaction with Ryder (Dolph Lundgren) propels the climax of the movie in a very emotional scene. You will see Jeff like you have never seen him before...down and out and very dirty.

Awesome, Elia Cmiral (The Mechanik) is apparently signed to compose the music for "Missionary Man"!
