Ron Maxwell's Latest Project


Thursday, July 18, 2013

Copperhead opens in various theaters in the San Francisco Bay Area tomorrow - we are being encouraged to watch it opening weekend to give the release a push. It's a busy weekend for me, but I may try to see the movie tomorrow morning or on Sunday. Here is The Pittsford Perennialist's review.

Copperhead is Coming to the Area

I checked the theater listings and the movie will be opening July 19 at Blue Light Cinemas in Cupertino (the cheapie theater).

How did the theater determine there was enough interest in the movie?

The Copperhead

A collaboration between Bill Kauffman and director Ron Maxwell. Trailer:

It's a sincere effort, but it may be borderline with respect to theatrical quality. (Some of the acting seems more appropriate for cable television.)

Gettysburg movie on History Channel

Saw the commercial for this before There Be Dragons last night. Who's involved with the production? Tony and Ridley Scott. It will be shown on the History Channel, premiering on May 30. Will it be better than Ron Maxwell's version, which was based on The Killer Angels?--There is now a director's cut available of Ron Maxwell's production--I need to get a copy of that. Anyway, as might be appropriate for the History Channel, the Scott brothers movie is a documentary about the Battle of Gettysburg rather than a recreation of the events. Will it support the Nationalist narrative?



Falling Skies looks promising, even if Steven Spielberg is involved. Should be better than Battle LA?
