Another Hollywood blockbuster for Gauteng (Provinz in SA)
Joining the likes of District 9, Catch a Fire and Hotel Rwanda, the new movie Machine Gun Preacher is yet another major Hollywood blockbuster to be shot in Gauteng. With the title role and executive producer's seat taken by Gerard Butler - the star of The Bounty Hunter, RocknRolla and 300 - the movie is currently in filming and set to be released to the US market in September 2011.
Joining the likes of District 9, Catch a Fire and Hotel Rwanda, the new movie Machine Gun Preacher is yet another major Hollywood blockbuster to be shot in Gauteng.
With the title role and executive producer's seat taken by Gerard Butler - the star of The Bounty Hunter, RocknRolla and 300 - the movie is currently in filming and set to be released to the US market in September 2011.
Machine Gun Preacher sounds a little like a stock western - one can easily imagine a clerically dressed Texan riding into town at sundown armed with his trusty machine gun ready to do battle with the resident band of outlaws - but far from it. Picture instead an ex-violent biker who gave his life to God in 1992 and went to the war-town African country of Sudan to save children from the violence of Lord's Resistance Army (LRA).
Sam Childers and his wife Lynn founded and operate Angels of East Africa, the Children's Village Orphanage in Nimule, Sudan, where they currently have more than 300 children in their care.
Childers documented his experiences in Sudan in the book Another Man's War, the book on which the storyline of Machine Gun Preacher is based.
Hollywood actor Gerard Butler - the star of The Bounty Hunter, RocknRolla and 300 - is both an executive producer and the main character, Sam Childers, in Machine Gun Preacher.
The book tracks Childers's path from a violent, drug-addicted biker to a man willing to risk everything to rescue the orphans and child-soldiers of Sudan. "All my life, from birth, it's been a fight, and it always seemed to be another man's war," he says.
"I always seemed to be fighting for someone else. But it always came back to me. The word says we're born into sin, and sin always comes back to war."
Childers has always been a fighter. Born to a violent father and a deeply religious mother, his life was a contradiction. With an affinity for drugs and women, the angry young man grew into a drug-dealing biker.
Today Childers, alongside the Sudanese soldiers he employs, spends his time in the most dangerous parts of Sudan and Uganda rescuing the youngest victims of war, orphans and child-soldiers. His mission is simple: save the children, no matter what the cost.
Childers has received several endorsements, such as one from actor and filmmaker Peter Fonda, the star of Easy Rider. Fonda says Another Man's War is about "true terrorism against more than 200 000 children in northern Uganda and Southern Sudan.
"Sam Childers is a fighter and a preacher (some call him a mercenary!) who tirelessly leads a small militia into the jungle, daring to fight against a vicious army outnumbering him one thousand to one. One man can make a huge difference. Sam Childers certainly does."
And President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda: "The Reverend Sam Childers has been a very close friend to the government of South Sudan for many years and is a trusted friend."
It is little wonder then that the book lends itself to an action movie, and indeed Lionsgate, the leading next-generation studio has officially acquired the North American distribution rights to this fact-based, powerful and inspiring action/drama, with principal photography beginning in July this year in both Detroit, Michigan and then South Africa.
Directed by Marc Forster (Quantum of Solace), the film is the studio's first collaboration with Forster since the Oscar-winning Monster's Ball. In addition to 300 star Butler in the role of Childers, the cast includes Michelle Monaghan (Mission: Impossible III) as his wife, Lynn Childers, Oscar nominee Michael Shannon (The Runaways, Jonah Hex) as Childers's best friend Donnie, Madeline Carroll (The Spy Next Door) as his daughter Paige, Kathy Baker (Last Chance Harvey) as his mother Daisy Childers, and Souleymane Sy Savane (Damages) as Deng, Childers's right-hand-man in Africa.
The screenwriter is Jason Keller. Forster will produce under company Apparatus Productions alongside Robbie Brenner, Gary Safady and Craig Chapman of Kaushi Entertainment, and Deborah Giarratana of GG Filmz.
Executive producers are Myles Nestel of Merlina Entertainment, Brad Simpson of Apparatus, Gerard Butler, Alan Siegel and Louise Rosner.
"When I learned about Sam Childers," said Brenner, "I thought, here is a man who is making a difference, defying the odds and not just talking about what he believes but actually doing it. Seldom do you find a story that is gripping and relatable but is also about something bigger.
Here was a movie that begged to be made. Jason Keller wrote an exceptional screenplay, and I can think of no one better able to depict this story than my dear friend, Marc Forster."
Casting for supporting actors, featured roles and extras took place in Los Angeles, New York, Detroit and Johannesburg where Moonyeenn Lee and Associates of Rosebank cast for the Ugandan scenes.
"We have cast a lot of local South Africans for these scenes," says Lee. "The director Marc Forster came out for the casting sessions and was very impressed with the local talent".
Principal photography in Gauteng began on 23 August and the shoot is expected to take five weeks, with the province doubling for Uganda in the movie.
The South African scenes are expected to be shot on 16mm anamorphic with some 35mm, and the processing will be at The Film Lab in Johannesburg. Metal Moon is the marketing and publicity company, and Moonlighting Film Production Services are the local facilitating company.

C’est Lauren Vie: SA’s 15 Minutes of Fame
The world cup generated income for South Africa as well as a lot of beautiful debt. It’s questionable whether the outlay was worth it but one cannot deny the social investment and how as a country, we planted an international feather in our cap. For over a month, we experienced a collective excitement that made all other problems, even Eskom or heartburn, seem irrelevant. The electricity in the air generated a warmth amongst South Africans because for the first time in years we were united by something magnificent and not just a ra ra political campaign for us to be a melting rainbow pot of people who quite literally don’t speak the same language. Even Shakira had more unifying powers than that of peace loving Bish’ Tutu. This also makes one wonder about the price and potential of fame or power and what we choose to do with it.
Not only have the number of tourists increased since the world cup but the number of celebrities paying us attention too. I was lucky enough to spend some time with the talented Leo Di Caprio at a very shi shi night club and had an even bigger party with Gerard Butler just this past weekend. The difference between the two celebrities is uncanny. Leo was surrounded by a blockade of bod guards and security, he donned a cap the whole night whilst enjoying quiet conversation with others and myself in the cosy VIP corner. Gerard however, seemed to be without bodyguards. His bodyguards were more like friends to him and he clearly included them in everything that he did. The “Law Abiding Citizen” spent most of his night mingling outside the VIP section and enjoying animated conversations with the people that approached him. Basically he had time for everyone and seemed to squeeze as much enjoyment out of the night as possible. This made him more memorable and esteemed than any showcase of blockbusters and awards could.
Now, South Africa had her moment of fame but what do we choose to do with it? The spotlight may have left us for a while but what we can take from it is the choice to remain a real celebrity in our own right. And not by something as token as flying our country’s flag, but by remembering that feeling of connectedness. Staying out of the VIP section that divides us and having a ridiculous party with each other. The world cup was a realisation of the unity a country can share, it wasn’t the cause. There is so much power in numbers but there is so much more power in numbers that can razzle together on the same level. I say let the world be continuously star struck by South Africa and let that electricity remain swirling in the minds of all those that visit. It’s the best autograph we can give…

A70, a powerful and extraordinary journey that involved two Scottish men named Garry Wood and Colin Wright in Edinburgh Scotland, 1992.
One evening whilst both men where driving to a friends house on a route they have taken many times before,
this particular night they where confronted by an extraordinary encounter. As both men are faced with fear and panic,
Gary accelerates the car hard, to get away. As they finally reach their destination they learn they are missing two hours of time.
Soon after, horrifying nightmares, ill health, unusual scars and strange visions slowly reveal that something far more sinister occurred that night.
As the men search for answers their world is ultimately torn apart by what they discover.
DBR Entertainment are the studio behind the film. According to their Twitter stream they have Paul McGillion (Beckett in Stargate Atlantis) attached to play Garry Wood.
They say that Gerard Butler has been approached and Billy Boyd (The Lord of the Rings) is rumoured to be playing Colin Wright according to IMDB.
Steven Forrester is directing.

| Hört sich interessant an - aber "has been approached" heisst ja noch gar nix.

Wenns wahr ist, ist das nicht nur bescheuert sondern auch noch saukomisch 
Zig Frauen die vor ner Schüssel knien ... manche heulen womöglich vor Glück weil sie glauben Schwingungen von Gerrys Hintern zu empfangen ...
