It's come to my attention after chatting with Steve Harding that our movie for The Castaway's War will be a little longer in the making. See his comment in the quote below:
"Owing to ongoing financial difficulties, Gold Circle Films has opted not to continue developing the motion picture version of The Castaway's War. Though this is disappointing, other companies and individuals have expressed interest in making the film, and we'll keep you posted on developments."
So, on the surface this looks truly disappointing. It should have sent me into crocodile tears and a complete sense of apoplexy. But you know what? It had the opposite effect. As I told Steve, my instincts over the years have been pretty damn spot on. And what I felt from hearing this news wasn't sadness or regret - but hope and relief. Two production companies have failed to deliver, third times the charm, right? I feel in my gut that this will work out. If not, then I told Steve in a couple of years he could slap me upside the head with a dead fish (Monty Python reference) and say, "You were wrong!" I really don't want to have that happen, so we'll see. COVID aside, this will work out. I refuse to believe otherwise.
So Steve, we aren't giving up! We've come too far. The story is too good and we're not done telling the story of the men of STRONG.
So, just keeping everyone in the loop. Keep your fingers crossed!
