Latest of The Forgotten Soldier Movie

[LWD]

I'm still not sure why having servants would make the British army more "Fascist". Of course using the broad definition as you do one could argue that all armies are "Fascist" to some extent and the Red army would be one of the most "Fascist". I'm don't think using the term in that sense is a good idea as it is both subject to being taken in the wrong way and also a fairly emotion laden term for many.

Please do not get another Forgotten Soldier Movie thread closed AGAIN. Try and keep it on topic here I like when Doug keeps us informed on this matter.

You're quite right, it would be a shame to see the discussion brought to a close. I'll pass on discussing the off-topic questions he's raised and if he is really confused further, invite him to start another thread and PM me with the URL.

I am sincere in my observation that Verhoeven has picked up on some interesting commonalities between Starship Troopers and The Forgotten Soldier, even if it is just in the subtext of the material. Beyond that, I guess we all wait and see.

I actually though we had wandered back on topic. With a digression or two. Nothing that was in danger of closing the thread certainly. Commonalities between TFS and other movies by Verhoeven are certainly on topic.

There is one thing I guarantee will happen if the movie is made and that is there will be a 'mistakes' thread about it on here.

Anything new at all on this movie?

[Doug Nash]

No, nothing new - I'll have to write my contact and ask him what's the status ---
Cheers,

Oh, Guy Bohn-minoux! (Multi-language pun.)

The movie project has now been called off due to the economic downturn in Europe - the major European backers had to pull out due to economic constraints. A sad day! One more year and it would have been filmed!

[Larso]

Noooooo!!!!!! I was worried about this. The financial crisis is hurting me now!

[B Hellqvist]

Bad news indeed. Let's hope it will be resurrected when theeconomy improves.

[Sturmvogel.]

Boooooooo!
well i look at this as a blessing in disguise... to be honest i dont want a movie made of this book, it would HAVE to be a series or atleast 2 movies to have a chance of doing justice to it. its too bad tho if sajer really wanted to see his experience on the screen

Sturmvogel.

ps. hehe this will give me time to go to flim school and become a top notch film director so that ===> I <=== ...can direct it

Well, did someone else pick it up? Looks like it, and on a cheap budget too:

Too bad, it deserved a larger budget, better treatment in my very humble opinion.
