WAR PIGS (Ryan Little, 2015)

[DRC2013]

Speaking of crowdfunding campaigns, Tom Sizemore just started one for a movie he's making called An Honest Thief, directed by none other than Giorgio Serafini.

I should start a kickstarter to get back the $25 dollars I spent renting Serafini's collective films.

Ha ha. Sounds like a good idea but I'm gonna target Die Hard 5 first.

Dang, Mickey Rourke indeed (IMO, his face doesn't match a WWII era movie, but he can be a tremendous actor) And Luke Goss (good actor, here the hero), and Dolph is playing a french cap (Will you give him lessons Jox ? ). Supporting caracter in well pitched movie is good (if the movie is as good as it sounds).

[Tom]

It'll be good to see D working with Rourke, just as long as Rourke doesn't phone it in. Goss is solid too.

[ashleyej25]

I have rarely seen Rourke phone it in and when he does hes still better than half the actors out there. Dont worry should be great

THE STORY

At the peak of the WWII, the allies advance against Nazi Germany, a disgraced US Army Captain Jack Wosick, is "volunteered” by Major A.J. Redding to train a rag tag unit of misfit soldiers known as the “War Pigs." Jack is to prepare them for select and secret missions against one of Hitler’s super weapons: the powerful V-3. To get his unorthodox assignment accomplished Redding pairs Jack with a battle hardened German born French Legionnaire, Captain Peter Picault. Together, they are ordered to train the War Pigs into a functioning reconnaissance unit.

Training begins under the battle tested guidance of Captain Picault, but is made more difficult by Sergeant August Chambers and his lack luster belief in the Army’s officer Corp. During the training, the men use various unorthodox commando tactics including weapons training, knife fighting, observation, deception, and rule-breaking. Jack, with the help of Picault, gradually earns the respect of his new unit. Jack’s War Pigs are ready for their fight against Hitler and their mission against the Nazi Wonder Weapon and must go behind enemy lines.

Where we are at

We are stoked about the amazing cast and crew we have attached to this movie, BUT we are more excited about all of the "extras" we want to get into this movie. The "extras" are going to enhance the quality of the movie and really make it feel like you went back in time and are watching the allies kick Nazi butt!

This is where you come in!

We need your support and backing to help us get all of the cool WWII toys and reenactors into this movie!

A film of this scale requires a lot of money and we have raised a full budget through a combination of pre-sales and tax credits.

However, most of the budget is tied up into the AMAZING cast and crew we have associated with the film. We are utilizing Kickstarter to help us pay for all of the cool "extra" things we want to put into this WWII movie.

These funds will be used to pay for things like:

- Food for the reenactors. (hungry reenactors aren't happy reenactors!)
- Gas money to get reenactors to and from locations.
- Extra money to pay for more "toys," like TANKS, HALFTRACKS AND JEEPS.

(...)

So please, even if you aren't able to pledge, you can still join the War Pigs and help make this happen by tweeting, liking, and using your best war cry to tell everyone about it!

Risks and challenges
Every film, no matter how big or small, has its own unique set of challenges and War Pigs will be no different. The production team behind the project have experience, passion, and desire to see this film made. Because of this we are preparing to deal with any nasty surprises that may come up.

Every member of the production team plays a valuable role to make War Pigs a reality. We are confident that our team can make it happen.

That being said we want to make the movie as amazing and realistic as we can, which is why we are asking for your help!

I put in $35. I will always back an independent film. I backed The Veronica Mars Movie, Enemy of Man and Reach Me already.

[DRC2013]

I would have donated, except they don't offer the movie as a reward.

I have donated to a few independent film Kickstarters and Indiegogo campaigns, but only if I get the actual final movie in return. I think it's a fair deal.

I would've gladly given them $50 for a Blu-Ray and maybe a special Thanks credit.

I don't really care for T-shirts and patches that much.

Anyways, glad they got Mickey Rourke!

From piecing together the synopsis and the Kickstarter video it sounds like Goss and Lundgren are co-leads with Rourke more the "authority" figure who gives the orders.

Video was just uploaded of Mickey and Dolph having lunch yesterday at Cafe Roma. Mick says now he has to read the script! Could be for this film!

yeah sounds good to me. Just want some dramatic scenes from Rourke like the brilliant monologue with Stallone in The Expendables. He was absolutely amazing. And Dolph will probably have plenty of action in this.Can't wait. Will want to see scenes with Rourke and Dolph together.

Damn! Who is that annoying asshole badgering Rourke.
This paparazzi shit is really sickening. All these trash wielding bozos deserve a smack in the mouth. And i guess we all do for buying in to it.

I am also guessing on more of a cameo from Rourke (Who just does not care it seems, he did a cameo in a Gary Daniels film for christs sake) and Dolph and Goss going co. lead.
Great cast in any case.

Poor old Rourke seem to be persona non grata in studio films... Again. Is he that much of an ass to deal with?
Other actors seem to like him fine... Right?

Mest interesting Dolph project in a while!

[bomaz]

This paparazzi went berzerk with James Chalke some time ago, shouting racist slings at another paparazzi.

As for Rourke, I really don't know, he can be a moving and incredible actor, and a terrible piece of ... well, let's say he might not chose his parts right (as for co starring gary Daniels, that's not too bad IMHO, Daniels has what looks like good flick coming soon).

Seems mostly that he doesn't give much shit ; and Hollywood sure isn't gonna run after him. I'm actually glad he's in the film but god his latest plastic surgery makes him look weirder and weirder, WTF...
