First off, "Project: Modern War" is not the official title, at the moment it is untitled but will be titled shortly upon script finalization.
Secondly, Act I of the script is finished, about 8 scenes.
The main characters have been finalized and their names will soon be released to the public. 4 Marines, 1 F-16 pilot (1 of the 3 jets shot down over Iraq) and a newspaper reporter from Boston.
As of yesterday, I recieved permission to take in a 3 person crew and 3 person cast to the Black Hawk Helicopter landing bay of a local Military Base.
I can tell you that it's based off of a true story of the 1st Marine Recon, when 4 guys were sent in to retrieve a prisoner of war from capture.
As far as props, costumes and equipment. Camera equipment will include 3 running cameras, 2 boom mics and one fully equipped, motor driven camera crane. As far as costumes, so far we've got all the BDUs we need, we're just working on weaponry and body armor.
Production plans to begin mid to late summer.
Opinions and suggestions are most welcome.
Edit: Don't expect any Hummers or Tanks but there will be a mess load of Terrorist trucks and maybe even a chase scene in the desert.
