Default Film Making Technology and Twilight: 2000

Advances in computer animation have me thinking that a Twilight: 2000 movie based on Escape from Kalisz would be more practicable than ever. Mid-scale battles involving multiple AFV wouldn’t require live models of any of the vehicles involved, except perhaps as models for the animators. For that matter, the climactic battle of Ruins of Warsaw would be manageable to a degree unheard of twenty or even ten years ago. I wonder if producers could be convinced of a market…

I think realistically the best we could hope for is a maybe a history channel miniseries on a potential conflict between Pact and Nato Forces.

Though given this



was done with a 300 dollar budget who really knows.

Wow! I was just trying to post that Kato. Went I hit "submit" it gave me a broken link messaged. When I refreshed, you'd already posted it. Weird. Great minds think alike, I guess.

What was that music used in other than that? I recognize it but can't put a name to it.

From the wikipedia page (Ataque_de_Pánico!)

Quote:
The music accompanying most of the short is "In the House - In a Heartbeat", an instrumental piece by John Murphy. The music was originally composed for the 2002 film 28 Days Later.

That would explain why I was envisioning zombies in my head during that piece. It's been used recently in something as well, I believe. Or maybe just in a trailer or something.

This makes me think of who might play the characters from the modules in a T2K movie…I can’t remember all of them off the top of my head, but a few suggestions for some of them…

Monk – Matt Damon / Ben Affleck / Leonardo Di Caprio

Jones –Christian Bale (on the basis that he’s Welsh!)

Wood – Daniel Radcliffe / Tobey Maguire

Bobbi Lee – Jessica Biel / Megan Fox (I think Jessica Biel would be the more credible option, but who knows…)

Sgt Anderson - Morgan Freeman / Tom Hanks

The Major – Denzel Washington

A few others from the modules…

King Julian of Silesia – John Malkovich

Julian’s brother (whose name I can’t remember) – Gary Oldman

Molly Warren – Jennifer Garner

Guz Stanislaw – I’m tempted to say Danny De Vito…

The Polish American guy that owns the bar in Krakow – Clint Eastwood

There are probably dozens of other possibilities…Anyone got any thoughts?

Leonardo Di Caprio (hack, spit)...he's that token character in the first fifteen minutes of the movie, while the breakout scene is completing...you know, the one that gets hit by the 152mm round right before the next scene. (What can I say, my wife made me take her to watch Titanic at the theater...eleven times. I look forward to watching his death scene every time...and then there is THAT song!!!!!)

For Molly Warren, I'd say a young Nicole Kidman.

I keep seeing Brandon Fraser as Monk...

For the part of Josef Kutrzeba, Liam Neelson

General Diwizji Zygmunt Bohusz-Szyszko....Sir Anthony Hopkins

Henryk Rapacki....Charlie Sheen

Colonel Richard Stark...Chris O'Donnell

Tanya...Cote de Pablo

Sergeant Randolph Cutler...Brad Pitt...come on, you know you want the chance to blow him away with an RPG!!!! LOL

You've got some good ones there Dragoon...I forgot about Cutler.

A couple more...

The Black Baron - Edward Norton or Al Pacino

The KGB General in Krakow - Patrick Stewart

Brandon Fraser - was that guy that was in the Mummy films?

Yup Fraser was in the Mummy films...

And for the part of Juliusz Wojociechowicz...how about John Hannah, the brother from the Mummy films...just about be perfect for an absent-minded ordnance expert?

For the part of Major Anatoli Malekov....how about Arnold Vosloo?

Still don't know about Marian Dmowski...Megan Fox is too "lively" an actress for the role....hmmmm somebody who can pull off being blond, quiet, nervous and pretty....maybe Maryam d'Abo?

For the Black Baron, I'm divided...John Rhys-Davies or Jeroen Krabbe perhaps.

Krabbe played General Koskov in the Living Daylights, he's a decent actor.

How about Jeroen Krabbe as the CO of 10th GTD?

James Morrison (Col McQueen from Space: Above and Beyond) as Colonel Stark.

Katee Sackhoff as Capt. Molly Warren.

Krabbe played General Koskov in the Living Daylights, he's a decent actor.
John Rhys Davies would be good as the Black Baron...

Maryam D'Abo at the age she was when she did the Living Daylights would work well...if you were making the film now I think you'd need to CGI her to make her younger (apparently this is being done to Jeff Bridges in the new Tron film).

Otherwise, how about Julia Stiles?

Father Niekarz - Sir Sean Connery?

The Spetznaz detachment from Black Madonna...

The Major (Volkov?) - how about Sean Bean? Or Viggo Mortensen?

The young officer (Papa Gulashev?) - Anton Yelchin

Not sure about the Captain (Fedorenko?). Someone like Jean Claude van Damme seems a bit cheesy...how about Leiv Schreiber?
