Japanese release July 2

While still about $2,000 short a few days ago, the Kickstarter ended with $9,904 pledged of $6,000 goal (71 backers).

Did people who pledged get their rewards? Most of them are supposed to have been shipped a few months ago, except for particular items like the score/soundtrack (which they may not have clearance for from the rights owners).

Still nothing (while the movie got released almost worldwide) and I have confirmation that I'm not the only one...
(not mentioning I bought 3 different editions of the film)

WAR PIGS MOVIE FACT: MICKEY ROURKE AND THE COWBOY HAT: For those that don't know, Mickey Rourke demanded to pick out his own costume, we could have options be he had finally saw, He would not leave his trailer to do his acting unless we agreed to this demand. This is why you see a cowboy hat and sunglasses in the movie. He told me he was going for a Robert Duvell in Apocalypse Now vibe ... i had to let him do it, how can you argue with The Wrestler

Who is one of your favorite actors? #throwbackthursday to the time I worked with Dolph Lundgren on a War Film. He was professional, smart and collaborative. All the qualities you want from an actor. Good memories indeed. This shot was taken towards the end of production on "War Pigs". We were shooting with this awesome PANZER III tank. What an amazing machine. #warfilm #dolphlundgren #tank #panzer #WWII #combat

Here is a cool BTS shot on set working with #DolphLundgren and @jakestormoen #throwbackthursday #tbt Every #actor is different and every actor has different skills as well as different needs. Just when you think you've figured out how to direct actors one will come along and challenge you in a new way.

Very insightful, enjoyable interview with director Ryan Little



It's a shame WAR PIGS was a gun for hire gig, which he enjoyed doing but admits there were "many cooks in the kitchen" so it doesn't look like his SAINTS & SINNERS movies which he produced independently.

The first one is actually pretty decent. Apart from the faces in green, I'd have kept the colour in them. I'd like to see Dolph work with Rourke on something separate, maybe something more dramatic like Malevolence or Nordic Light.
