Wartime Wanderers

[Estupendo]

 

Not these days, unless he puts me right ?Challenge to an east londoner!

 

The producer got his name on the book too and was the main driver behind the film. I believe they haven't got their target funds yet.

 

he's on here

[Estupendo]

Ps the above was meant to be my reply to 'I think he's on here'.

 

Sorry folks, my I phone f.ck up.

 

[superkev]

If hes a good friend of yours then why not ask him?

 

 

 

 

I have asked him and he says the budget is 5 million and they have about 3-3.5 million.

Found this on YouTube.

 

 

For God sake...who checked this footage........Union Jack upside down !!!!

This is a story that the whole world needs to know about, but this glaring mistake makes the trailer look a bit amateurish.....if someone associated with the movie is a poster on here.....please fix it

[superkev]

Apparently it's not the trailer. It's just a promotional video to drum up interest. The director of the film had nothing to do with the promo vid.

[Lever Ender in L.A.]

On www.wartimewanderers.com the flag is the right way up.....and you get a little extra footage....I hate seeing our flag displayed the wrong way, I once sent an email the The White House as they had the corridor lined with Union Jacks for Tony Blair's visit and half of them were upside down.....I got a really long letter of apology from them.....thought I was going to get a tax audit !!!

The 70th anniversary of Harry Goslin's death is December 18th.

 

Anyone know if the club plans a commemoration?

 

You never know, the publicity might get some funding for Wartime Wanderers

It would be nice to name a stand after him. It's the least he deserves.

Can't imagine the club doing that

[MickyD]

Saw a post on Face Ache earlier which reminded me of this. Is it anywhere nearer fruition? Are they still trying to raise funds or did someone run away with the already-pledged funding?

[Traf]

Jonathan Disley is sorting it

[gonzo]

Wouldn’t anyone outside of Bolton be interested in any of this?

[Boothy]

Might be easier to do some kind of exhibition at the Macron rather than a film. They don't do enough stuff like that surrounding our great history.

I think if it was done well I think it would be, concentrate on the history and story, rather than too much of it being a Bolton Wanderers thing.

Plenty of good historical wartime movies about. Some good fictional ones too.

They could cast The Rock as Harry Goslin?

[Youri McAnespie]

That young lad off the telly, he was on Brian Conley last week, Bradley Walsh, he's got the role of Harry.

 

Used to be a trainee at Brentford, so he should look the part.

 

Might be stretching it now he's in his early fifties, but perhaps Sly Stallone could be cast as the 'keeper, to bump the box office appeal?

[Boothy]

Early 70s more like. With a face that looks like a melted Waxwork

That’s the problem, nobody would really be arsed. The book is dull as fuck, I just don’t see how it could become a film that would interest anybody, especially from outside the area

Maybe they could put a twist on it were one of the players is a German spy and has a mission to kill the King and bring down the government while having a romantic connection with a member of the Warburton family.

I think it would be a nailed on success along the lines of the Escape to Victory. It's a story of a group of young lads going to war rather than a Bolton Wanderers thing.

[Sweep]

I'm not sure Escape To Victory can be hailed as a success can it? - it's a pretty shit film isn't it.

 

The fact nobody seems to be remotely interested in financing the film probably shows how little appeal there actually is for the film

Off topic a bit, but Lever Ender in LA hasn't been around here for a long time.

[Kane57]

Probably read the Tommy Robinson thread

Bit of artistic licence switches it to United players

 

Suddenly, it's a massive thing

 

Sad, but true

I think it’s a great story and I’m sure of it would have been Man U it’d of already hit the screen. As it was Bolton fan who wrote the book not sure that would be possible. Thankfully.
