Title: Beasts of No Nation film
Post by: marie on 08 April 2014, 09:20:51 PM
As I`m involved with this film, I`m going to go for the 20mm options....so my ill fated shanty town will come in real handy now......
just got to lay my hands on 200 uniforms... and AK 47`s..... 8)
Idris Elba to star and Cary Fukunaga to direct Beasts of No Nation, an adaptation of Uzodinma Iweala's best-selling novel. The story follows the journey of a young boy, Agu, who, when civil war engulfs his West African country is forced to join a unit of mercenary fighters. Not only must Agu face the death of his father and disappearance of his mother and sister, but must also join a life of violence and brutality. Agu befriends a mute boy named Strika and together they face the crimes and hardships of war. Elba will play the lead role of Commander.

I want Marie to be doing the action sequences using Pendraken miniatures and stop-motion technology. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

PS - I can make "dakka-dakka" noises if you need them, Marie.  :D

Just remembered Marie that there is a film costume shop in London that should be able to supply you with uniforms. You'd have to so some Google searching, but hope this helps?
