If you're interesteed in learning more about the character Chris will play, you can read Ron Haeberle's testimony at Calley's courtmartial here:

Another tidbit:

As the third platoon moved into My Lai, it was followed by army photographer Ronald Haeberle, there to document what was supposed to be a significant encounter with a crack enemy battalion. Haeberle took many pictures. He said he saw about thirty different GIs kill about 100 civilians. Once Haeberle focused his camera on a young child about five feet away, but before he could get his picture the kid was blown away. He angered some GIs as he tried to photograph them as they fondled the breasts of a fifteen-year-old Vietnamese girl.

Use discretion looking at the pics in this link. They're brutal. So are Haeberle's comments:

Thanks for posting those links, Deb.

domesticelefant · 12 Jan 08 :: 13:42

I hope this movie is going to be huge in Germany too.

deedee · 12 Jan 08 :: 15:55

I hope it gets made!!

TheCentralScrutinizer · 12 Jan 08 :: 20:32

Yeah, Doree, let's start there. Let's get the damn thing made, then we'll worry about release.

notsofairytale · 12 Jan 08 :: 23:43

Wow, thanks for posting the links, Deb. This movie and story need to be made and told!

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 13 Jan 08 :: 06:04

I hope it won't be a small budget independent film. Then it will probably have only special screenings. It needs to be made big!!

domesticelefant · 13 Jan 08 :: 10:34

And I bet it wouldn't even come to Germany, except maybe for some Film Festivals I don't know about or too far away from me. This movie needs international release if it's going to be made.

TeeJay · 13 Jan 08 :: 11:25

Oh, I'm quite sure it'll come to Germany. They may not show it in English, but I think there's a good chance that they will. And if the movie stays with United Artists, it won't be an independent production, right?

domesticelefant · 13 Jan 08 :: 12:25

I know. I'm definitely going to see it in English of course. I really hope it's not going to be independent, because independent movies hardly make it to Germany. Which is sad because I just did a little research about the character Chris is supposed to play and that sounds very interesting.
I think I am going to check every little theater I can find around here if they're going to show it in English once it's out. LOL

TeeJay · 13 Jan 08 :: 13:23

Actually, Steff told me that there's a cinema near Stuttgart somewhere that shows English movies only. She was living with her grandma in Pforzheim for a while and she's an English nut too. But apparently it's outside of the city. Want me to ask where exactly it is?

domesticelefant · 13 Jan 08 :: 13:31

Really? Cool! Sometimes when I check kino.de I see that the bigger cinema (I forgot the name, maybe it's the Cinemaxx or the UFA, I don't remember right now) is showing undubbed movies too, but they don't do that always. But well, since I have a regular income now I can hopefully go to the cinema more often. I just need to find the right opportunity to get there, the S-Bahn isn't always really relieable. Yes, please ask Steff where exactly it is, so I can check out how to get there.

TeeJay · 13 Jan 08 :: 14:06

I think this is the one. It came up when I Googled "kino originalversion stuttgart". http://www.corso-kino.de Must be ultra-small, says they only have two screens. But I've asked Steff by e-mail, I'll let you know when she replies.

I just read the below Craigslist/Bangkok ad.
BTW, they are offering to pay extras about $60US for a 12 hour day.
Tell Mr. Stone I sent 'ya and I'm available to shoot stills.

And in an intriguing coincidence, Terry was an extra in Revenge Of The Nerds. He played a professor.

notsofairytale · 19 Jan 08 :: 06:11

What the... should we get excited that the movie is gonna happen then?

TheCentralScrutinizer · 19 Jan 08 :: 06:41

No, not at the moment. The ad was bogus. Nobody in the Marquette camp knows anything about it.

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 19 Jan 08 :: 09:42

If only it were real.....

TheCentralScrutinizer · 19 Jan 08 :: 20:29

I'm right there with ya, Mel. I want this movie to get made so badly.

notsofairytale · 19 Jan 08 :: 20:46

I figure it was because of the dang dates. I just got confused since you mentioned Terry (no idea who he is) was an extra on Nerds, so I assumed the ad to be semi-legit at least, unless his account got hacked or so. I want the movie!

TheCentralScrutinizer · 19 Jan 08 :: 21:31

Terry was just surfing the casting ads on Craigslist and found that. It was a total coincidence.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 21 Jan 08 :: 17:08

Looks like Pinkville's really, truly dead...

Stone is moving on. Damn.
