Star Fox Film

As you may of may not know, I and some friends of mine are working on a film for Star Fox...

Currently, it's all on hold, for many reasons, but here's what we got so far:

Live action.  Actors, in costume.  We don't wear the heads, we put makeup and prosthetics with stage adhesives onto our faces, wear wigs with ears sewn on, and wear fursuits, skin tight fursuits, or we wear the clothes the Star Fox Team wears, with furry, feathery, or scaly (Leon) tails sticking out.

We would cosplay as the Star Fox team, we even added

Miyu Lynx

Fay Spaniel

Fara Phoenix (we had her go with Bill for a romantic relationship in our movie)

Fox McCloud (played by "Fats", Nina's boyfriend)

Falco Lomabardi (Russel)

Krystal Buranetto (Nina, Russel's sister)

Katt Monroe (Russel's girlfriend)

Bill Grey (Dexter)

Peppy Hare (Joe)

Slippy Toad (Stevie)

Wolf O' Donnel: (Big Moe)

Leon Powalski (J.J.)

Panther Caroso (me)

Fara Phoenix (Dex's new girlfriend)

Miyu: (Gina)

Fay (Sarah)

unfortunately, we had script problems, ego problems, squabbling...

our special effects were awesome, thanks to J.J., and we had a stage...(one of Russel's BIG warehouses...)

the sets were ok, still partly under construction (The Great Fox Bridge turned out GREAT)

but acting, performance, fighting...ugh.

J.J. would do the planets, special effects, aircraft/vessel miniatures

(nothing with crummy strings tied to 'em in front of a piece of black cardboard with holes

poked in it and a flashlight shined through)

We got a huge Blue Screen canvas, and some Arwing and Wolfen and Wolfen 2 "vessels" we placed in front of the blue screen in some "wing rider" scenes

Plot: TBA

Villains: Star Wolf, TBA

Misc:

We finished all the miniature vessels, the Arwings, Wolfen, Wolfen 2, Sargasso Station, all space bases, The Great Fox, The Catspaw, Bill's ship, all CDF Aircraft and vessels (like boats and tanks)

...I wanted to be Falco, but I'm not tall enough

Fox was taken by Nina's BF, plus he, along with Russel and Big Moe, had the $$$ to finance our endeavor

Dex took Bill because his GF was playing as Fara, and she dates Bill in our movie

Russel farted and messed up an important scene (haha)

...we never got that scene right again

Unfortunately, with Russell currently incarcerated, we have to delay most of the project...we're still set building (in our spare time), and prop/costume design....it's still kinda difficult, because of conflicting schedules.

Russell's verdict was handed down last week, he was only found guilty of tax evasion, he was going to serve 3-5 years, but his lawyer struck a deal, and he'll be out in 6 months to a year, but he has to pay back taxes...

Now, we MAY get to distribute this movie commercially, if Russell's, J.J.'s, Fats' and Moe's lawyers can get permission from Nintendo, Shigeru Miyamoto, and Dylan Cuthbert, and anyone else who holds the rights to Star Fox...the movie would not be A-List, but...if successful, we might make a sequel. :hehe:

Even if we don't get it commercially distributed, it'll still be made available for the fans (no promises, though, sorry!)

I'll try to fill everyone in on the details and new business regarding the film, but for now, it's all "TBA" or up in the air...

I look foreword to it.

me too  :P

Aww, thanks guys!

We're currently trying to recruit extras as "Ruffians", and as bad guys in general...we're also still debating who the main villain will be (we've narrowed it down to 3 options, one of them was my idea)...

Russell will try to resume things when he gets out of jail...I hope we can set things in the right direction

Aww, thanks!

The villains, we narrowed it down, to be "The Penumbra Council", a shadow society bent on trying to dominate the Lylat System...

they hired Star Wolf to take down the Star Fox team

As for actors to play as General Pepper, and the Penumbra Council, that's still TBA...Russell, J.J., and Dexter have some candidates lined up, tho....

Sorry about that, DZ.

Oh, and sorry for dredging this topic, but I have some bad news about this Film me and my friends have been making:

It's been canceled, the whole project, scrapped.  It went from W.I.P. to R.I.P.

With Russell's incarceration, his absence creates a major void, financially (he's the main benefactor for this endeavor), and artistically (since he plays as Falco in our film).

I'm sorry, everyone, I feel just sick about this, as do my local friends whom I've worked with on this project, and they apologize to you too, we really wanted to do this.  We've been too busy to rehearse, me with classes, Russell, locked up, Fats and Nina covering Russell's legitimate business affairs, J.J. with classes AND work, we've had no choice but to strike the sets and stuff, although we haven't even done that yet.  We put the stuff away into the storage area/locker of Russell's warehouse/studio/sound stage, and we just left the sets alone.  Personally, we might pick this project up again someday, so we're not gonna tear down or throw out anything (we're too busy anyways XD).

If we don't do the costuming and live action stuff, there's always stop motion figures and recording, since although Russell may get out next year or so, he'll probably still be under house arrest and unable to go to the warehouse.  Plus, funds will most likely be tight, due to IRS sweeps of Russell's assets.

I, and the rest of my local friends/fellow cast members/fellow crew members, etc., want to all personally thank you for your words of encouragement, and good wishes, and we offer our apologies for the disappointment.

Remember everyone,

:peppy: "Never give up! Trust your instincts!"

Let's try to hope for the best...if push came to shove, some day I myself would take the liberty of finishing what me and the others started, if I ever get the time/money to meet the means to do so...
