zulu dawn remake

I don't see why you won't have BOTH in the movie - Alamo had the Alamo PLUS San Antonio, Pearl Harbor had Pearl Harbor PLUS the Doolittle Raid... gotta have the victory to balance off the defeat! This Broadway stage production is being broadcast in movie theaters. Discovering covert and faulty intelligence causes a U.S. Army officer to go rogue as he hunts for Weapons of Mass Destruction in an unstable region.

The thing is that doesn't make for a coherent story. But to be honest, I kind of felt let down by what I saw. You must be a registered user to use the IMDb rating plugin. I was interested enough to watch this movie for several factors, like the cast (Orlando Bloom and Forest Whitaker), the South African setting, and the fact that the filmmakers were not American - the last two factors promising that the film would feel a lot different than Hollywood product. a.j.

But any modern remake would have to do justice to the morally dodgy situation the British were in. I"m looking for a good character to follow-- one whose actions are virtually unknown, so I can have him do or say just about anything that would make a good story. Most historical sources place Adendorf at Rorke's Drift during the battle. rorkesdriftvc.com Forum Index » Anglo-Zulu War Films/TV: Goto page 1, 2, 3 Next. Why not both? At the chaotic crossroads where brutality and modernization collide, the echoes of...Rated R for strong violence, grisly images, language, sexuality/nudity and drug content (Bromhead to Adendorff)

At most many things can be telescoped into one character or series of events and these characters need not even be major - many can even be walk on parts to add colour to the story.

Policemen Ali Sokhela and Brian Epkeen investigate the brutal murder of a young white woman, apparently provoked by the availability of a new illegal drug and somehow connected to the disappearance of black street children. On Friday the 13th, different people meet on Grand Cayman - a US money launderer and his daughter, a lawyer, a young fisherman in love with a rich man's daughter, other high school students, a crime gang etc.

A respectfully budgeted TV show, but a TV show all the same.

With Orlando Bloom, Forest Whitaker, Conrad Kemp, Inge Beckmann. Together they have to deal with crime that inevitably exists in sprawling areas of un- and under- employed people, crime exacerbated by gangs, both local and from other parts of Africa. One of his staff is Brian Epkeen, a free-wheeling white officer whose family was originally involved in the establishment of apartheid but who works well with Neuman.

Only he and his mother survived the carnage of those years. With Burt Lancaster, Simon Ward, Denholm Elliott, Peter Vaughan. Their job gets even more difficult when the corpses of two young women are found.

A dramatization of the Battle of Isandlwana, where the British Army met its match against the Zulu … A washed-up private security agent has to escort a valuable Chinese antique out of Shanghai but is ambushed en route. Of course! As a child, Ali Neuman narrowly escaped being murdered by Inkatha, a militant political party at war with Nelson Mandela's African National Congress. He's way too important a figure to miss. Thats the big error of movies like Longest Day - I've talked to 'normal' people about it and even 'warfreaks' didn't like it because it was confusing to the extreme. Right now for our first release (Fugitives' Drift) I'm getting info on as many figures and characters who were there when the line broke and I really would like to include Durnford - I already have the Natal Carbineers texture ready so it's pretty much a done deal. I can even make up his first name as long as the initial is correct and I can spell his last name either of two ways and only offend half of the movie-goers-in-the-know with my choice. Directed by Jérôme Salle. I like Titanic as a model of how to write and cast a historic movie - you still get folks like EJ Smith, Ismay, Thomas Andrews and the whole historic cast but at best they are secondary characters who only appear IN RELATION TO the leads and otherwise they are minor characters who appear once or twice like the radiomen, Guggenheim and the Macys owners. The Zulus wiped out an entire column of British troops and native auxiliaries: this battle has also been shown on film, in the movie Zulu Dawn.

The question has been should there be a remake of Zulu, which I am undecided upon, it will not beat the original in quality, but may slightly beat it in facts. A dramatization of the Battle of Isandlwana, where the British Army met its match against the Zulu nation. The whole "epic last stand" aspect of the story makes it a natural for dramatization. Directed by Douglas Hickox. Also, while the South African backdrop does definitely provide some color and originality, at the same time the movie more often than not feels and looks like a television show.

But do I put him at Isandalwana or Rorke's Drift? Well I have been reading allot here, let me introduce myself befor I speak. operative is brought back in on a very personal mission and finds himself pitted against his former pupil in a deadly game involving high level C.I.A. Yes, there is some brutal violence here and there, but otherwise the movie felt kind of soft and slow, and I found it hard to get involved with the story.

This is where the big name actor theory falls flat. An adult victim of childhood sexual abuse confronts the horrors of his past.
