Guys, we have yet to be in a film? What do you think?
From Captain Smith 2NCMI:
"Hey Guys, I've been approached by a movie company, wanting to make a movie in western NC about Stoneman's Raid, using downtown Rutherfordton, Pearson Falls, the Green River Plantation as the setting. As of now, the principal actors are Sam Elliot and Renee Zellweger. They will pay all the reenactors well. They want 4 or 5 days of shooting, the rub being the scheduled dates for shooting is the 2nd and 3rd weekends in April. I'll send more info as soon as they get it to me, I just got off the initial phone call with them. They want 200 reenactors if possible. Unknown at this time is the blue:gray ratio, so all units should be able to galvanize if needed. Also unknown about mounted/artillery but I was asked if we could provide a battle to film. What I need from you is a 'yes' or a 'no' if you want to be included on future emails. A yes doesn't mean you are committing to coming, but that you would consider it, based on what we find out. A no is simply that, you aren't interested. I'll only include the 'yes' answers on future emails and will keep you updated as soon as I am updated. I plan on meeting with them next week to iron out the details and to review the script. If your answer is yes, please let me know how many troops you will bring. I realize it is like nailing jello to a tree that far away, but a rough count will help. Feel free to pass this to other units and give them my contact: smittyc7@windstream.net Smitty"
