Not as great as hauling a trailer full of Coors from Texas to Atlanta in 28 hours.

True story or not...this is an incredibly dumb idea.

What’s with the new trend of a mini trailer of the trailer before the trailer?

It’s primarily for Youtube to get a snippet in before the opportunity to skip the ad pops up.

Zac Efron is really channeling Richard Benjamin in this. It is probably the moustache, but man the resemblance is striking.

The book was great. It's so hard to believe it's a true story.

I went to a screening a few weeks ago and i think you guys will like it ... has that Farrelly comedic touch and Zac is really good. Plus, there won't be too many more films set during the Vietnam war.

don't believe it's either ... there aren't many new stories to come out of the Vietnam involvement. What was the last american studio film set primarily in Vietnam during the war? The Mel Gibson project twenty years ago?

And it's very expensive to shoot these kinds of films ... we shot Beer Run in Thailand and thankfully the Royal Thai Military allowed us to use a C130 and a Huey.

To film a proper Vietnam wwr film, you basically have to have full cooperation from the military of a US Friendly nation in southeast Asia that has lots of 1960s US - era aircraft.

That basically means what? Thailand or the Phillipines? Maybe Australia?

Pretty limiting. It's why we'll never see anything close to Apocalypse Now ever again.

Thailand is the go to ..... good locations, great local crews, Military and government can be helpful.

It gets tricky shooting Bangkok say for Saigon. I've filmed in Saigon, but it's pretty modern now and not great for war era material. Not to mention the government likely wouldn't approve a script about the war. On my next project we are shooting in Cambodia, which is less hectic. And they drive on the right side of the road, so easier to get cars, etc.

I think you can certainly make a technically similar film to Apocalypse now, but you would need $150M to do it right. And there aren't likely many projects in that range that would get greenlit.

There's no way, no way, that you could come from my loins.

Soon as I get home, the first thing I'm gonna do is punch yo mama in the mouth.
