Medieval movies?
Joshua Santana:
--- Quote ---Well, if we film only with those near a central point...that would be good. Like I said, with a minimum of actors that could be accomplished. Then the actual filming...maybe one or two separate days...not all on each day. I have experience making movies...I've made 8 of them. Whenever I have made movies, the actors always ham it up and ad lib...makes it fun...and interesting...like adding spice to a dish.
I don't know if any of you have heard of the old western: "Have gun will travel?" I grew up with it, and it seems it still is very popular today. I managed to get DVDs of all 6 seasons. And I still like them.
Paladin would be my choice as the main star...I'd call him Sir Palidor, which it seems was in use back then and derived from Charlegmagne's Paladins. The qualities of the western Paladin really seem like a real knight, that's why I'd like to base it on his character, only back in the middle ages.
I'm choosing Scotland for his home place...actually the western Paladin lived at the Carelton Hotel in San Fransico, and there is also one in Edinburgh.
Being from Felsenbau (german for Roxborough...and Roxborough getting it's name from one of the early settlers who came from Roxburgh, Scotland, naming his estate "Roxburgh" and the city taking that name but changed it to Roxsborough, which is also another spelling in Scotland for the site.)
Think that's all I'll post for now.

That is an interesting starting point Sir John, I like the idea. I wonder if you can make a story line set in the Renaissance, with Knights in action? ;)
--- Quote ---PLus, if there were knights fighting knights in the movie, we'd need a large cast. But in the "Have Gun Will Travel" one episode was the monster of Cream Ridge....so a monster would really cut down on the cast. I have quite a few twists in the screenplay I'm working on.

That is a nice Idea! Do you have a dragon in mind? (I'm thinking you could come up with a story line that involves dragon-slaying ;))

Unless you focused on one-on-one duels, then you wouldn't need as many.

Agreed
Sir John of Felsenbau:
Well, I have an outline on the movie...the monster (not a monster at all, but someone effected by the black plague.) I researched the plaGUE, AND BACK THEN 4% WERE IMMUNE AND ONLY ABOUT 75% WHO GOT IT DIED. Sorry bout the caps...hit the wrong button. The time I chose was about 1369. About 4 years after the black plaquge hit Scotland. of course we need someone bad..so one knight has to be. It's also the time after the Knights Templar were condemed by the church...the only place they couldn't be touched was Scotland...and they were tipped off just before that Friday the 13th (That's where the day got it's bad name from...today) and they took their treasure with them and burried it in places in Scotland...so that comes into my movie...plus like "A Knight's Tale"...just so happens that at that time...Geoffery Chauser was a Squire! (so I'll move min north a bit to be at the Carelton Hotel.) So: the hero knight, a good knight, a bad knight, the monster and a very short bit part for Chaucer. Think I can do it with that.
That's the update.
Sir John
Joshua Santana:
Excellent! That sounds awesome! I think would turn out to be something amazing. ;)
