Hello everyone again.

I need to make an update on this and a correction. I apologize for jumping the gun but I've been in contact with Steve Siebert, Adams agent and it seems we've had a miscommunication.

When my offer was agreed upon I was under the impression that we were good to go which is why I began this thread in the first place. It seems though that I was mistaken about the level of agreement we had reached. I will therefore act responsibly and remove any info in this thread regarding the matter.

I will post more information when and if it becomes available. For now, keep the faith and thank you for all your kind words of encouragment.

Is that the foul stench of "humble pie" I smell? I hate being forced to eat that damned pastry product!

Not so bad if you put enough ketchup on it.

Well, here's hoping Adam will change his mind for you, Achilles.

Nothing like someone trying to accomplish a dream to bring out the rude side of people 'round here.

My dreams don't require others to send me cash.

If we all lived by that rule, we wouldn't even have Firefly, or Serenity for that matter. The original Star Wars would have never gotten off the ground, for a small independent film maker named George Lucas, with nary a penny in his pocket, would have been laughed at and told to hit the road.

Movie making business is not cheap. It's hard and expensive work. This guy funded most of it himself, which is admirable. He didn't require anyone here to give him anything. He simply asked politely if anyone wanted to be involved. Every big name director and producer you know got their start somehow. Some get a lucky break, some don't. And believe it or not, this is exactly the way most of your big name directors got their start, by asking a few believers for donations.

I hope that one day Achilles does get to make his film...and that he goes far with his talents. Who knows, he may be a future star director of a big blockbuster that we shall all wait in line for.

Achilles, as a onetime indie film maker, my hats off to ya. Don't lose sight of your dream.

To you this may be nothing, but to him this isn't nothing...which was why he asked. When ya have a dream, you gotta live it.

Somebody comes on her begging for money for a project, uses a stars name to promote it and then, when questioned, says OOPPPSS...guess we don't have the star...and it is MY FAULT?

I think someone has been snortin' pax.

Well, first of all I don't recall pointing fingers at anyone here, I simply made the statement that this guy had a dream and wanted to realize it. He didn't require anyone to help, he simply asked, not begged, asked. He thought that he had Adam, but then came to the realization that the deal fell through. Stuff like this happens all the time when trying to work hard for a dream. Did he jump the gun with announcing his news, probably, but the man was excited. And he did the honorable thing and removed the thread. Just leave it be at this point.

And just to let you know that there are no hard feelings, Companion, this goes to you

Stay shiny!

well I guess we've all learnt a valuable lesson, in future kiddies don't trust anyone.

While I respect his dream and hope everything turns out well with him, I do got to somewhat agree with the naysayers in this thread. While I wouldn't go out on a limb to try and prosecute the guy, he did in a way try and get us involved with the offering by claiming he can give a selected few the chance to meet Adam Baldwin and that he would be in the film. I think he should have held off posting something like this until he was sure that the deal was made. That's just bad business in my opinion, jumping the gun like that to get someone involved in something that might not even happen.

Achilles send me the following message (found in my eMails a few minutes ago), apparently he send it to me before he backed out of his claims later on:

It's not even titled Star Wars III. It's III and a Parsec. Once, again, not paying attention. It's all over the site, the Edmonton force.net forum and in my first post in this thread.

You really should stop embarassing yourself publicly. You had no case to begin with and now you're only making it worse. Maybe you are just a cynical human being in general or you just like rattling cages. I have a suggestion. You could just sit there and wait for this to be released. That will be all the proof you'll need.

You're in Germany right? Have you ever been to the US? And if not, how do you know it exists? Maybe that whole country is just make believe.

Honestly, you post that you're 22 but your maturity level seems about 10 years behind that.

Isn't he nice? Someone here lost his sense for reality and it isn't me. If you want to offend me have at least the balls to do it in public especially if it's way below the belt like this one.

EDIT: Just found another one. Mr. Twitchell says: This discussion doesn't have to take place in the public.

Well Mr. Twitchell, you are wrong. I didn't start this thread, I didn't tell everyone that Adam Baldwin will be on the set and I didn't take this on a personal level like you have done with these insults.

Now everybody can form his view on this. I posted this because I have my pride and this guy stepped over a line here.

I think he was being polite in wanting to take your conversation to a more private arena, rather than keep this thing up in public...most people don't like to discuss such matters in public.

Look folks, leave it alone...the more you bring this up and bash this guy, the more it does show what maturity level you indeed have. Let it rest. He jumped the gun, he admitted he did, he removed the thread. It's all over and we can go about our business of talking about the show.

Please CBY, my Browncoat friend, just leave it alone now.

I will :-)

One final note: Is it polite to take things out of the public so you can insult someone as relentless as you like? I don't think so.

Ya...you got a point. Polite was not the right word to use, as it is not polite to put people down at all, in either a public or private place. Perhaps he just needed to vent and didn't want to do so publicly.

Stay shiny, and big hug!

ZEEK

1st, I'd like to like to say a big "Good work all!" to my skeptical browncoats.

2nd, how do you suggest that Adam will have lunch with people or whatever was offered here when you don't even actually have confirmation he'll work on the film? That seems like a huge jump IMO.

3rd, I just noticed the name Achilles. You think that's in the Greek hero sense or in the evil genius manipulator from the Ender series by Orson Scott Card. Maybe this guy was so arrogant that he even used a name to show that he considered himself a master at manipulating others to benefit himself.

Just sayin.
