cool picture, but i'd definitely get a better camera as whatever your using tends to blur details

I hope it doesn't turn out like the movie D-Day the Sixth of June What a terrible movie that was 2 hours of my life I can never get back. Hopefully this one is good!

Well to awnser your questions...................... The story takes place D+10, a small group of either 29th/5th/or 2nd rangers, are chosen to take out a small artillary battery and an engineer from another unit is attachted the group. After fighting their way there and having many problems along the way they find the battery........but due to faulty recon photos, the guns are missing. From here the men lose it and lots of things happen that seal their fate. Cant give away the ending It should be released near the end of summer, I will have it on youtube in chunks. I am entering a few contests with it too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D

sounds pretty cool. Very Pointe du hoc sounding plot. Seems a little SPR having a technical attached to a unit (engineer to unit, 29th translator to 2nd rangers ) Not to say you're ripping off anything just stating similarities. Sounds awesome though cant wait to see it. How many people you got signed up to Act?

Well, the group has 5 guys in it. Originally a sniper but way to SPR for me. The main character is James Harrison, a washed up Lt. who served at the Casserin Pass and was wounded, carries an m1 garand and he narrates parts of the film through a journal. Then theres Jack Kuhn, the crazy alcohalic, who starts "seeing things", he carries a browning 30 cal. Then theres Jimmy Henderson, the farm-boy who just wants to kill hitler, but stay in the military, he carries a grease gun(maybe). Then theres Anthony Delfino, the stubborn New Yorker who is always tossing around a baseball and just goofing off, but secretly always prays and stuff, he carries an m1 garand. Then finally is the engineer who just loves blowing things up, he desperatly wants to fight but Harrison wont let him. He carries a grease gun. Thats that so far, still looking for some Germans...........................its all sounding a little to SPR for me though, any ideas fellas?

Oddly reminiscent of some Spielberg film that came out a while ago....
Break away from the Hollywood stereotypes, cast a movie with REAL people.

So you really think its SPR? Here is the kicker though, after taking the hill the supposed guns are atop, they find a map, this map shows the location of the REAL guns.........and after realizing they could never take them out unless in full force they head back to HQ, BUT, the Germans launh a counter attack and more things happen. And the characters.............................what do you mean REAL people, I took the ideas from the experiences my grandpa had, he knew an alchohalic, and his commanding officer was washed up............................so, any more ideas? ?

Sounds good to me. One way you could set it apart from SPR (and BoB) is by having scenes where the Germans have dialog.

I am located in Michigan, and most of the filming will take place on 150 acres of private land in Battle Creek.
