    I normally avoid "fan films" but this was pretty doggone good. Gave me old school Highlander: The Series vibes and I dig it!
    I've been wanting to make a "Dark Tower: The Gunslinger" film for a long time now and even though I know I can't beat the acting, cinematography, CGI, etc of the professional "Dark Tower" film, I still want to try. Anyway, this inspired me to move forward on giving it a go so thanks!
    ETA: Sorry for the "fan film" thing because this was way more than that. I just don't know a better term for it.

    Fan films today are miles ahead of what I first made back at the dawn of time. I had already seen some excellent Star Trek fan films and thought that such productions need an alternative name as so much more than a fan film. This is another such example.
    Obviously made with such care by all involved. If I had read that this was a pilot for another spin off series, that had unfortunately not been picked up by whatever studio or network, I would have easily believed it.
    The special effects of the Quickening was great! Not overdone, and very similar to the original.
    All of the actors were of a similar standard, the cinematography was good throughout, and the music was apt even though varied.
    I did catch the almost complete Queen lyric quoted at the picnic, a nice touch.

    Fun fact: if a person is a proto-Immortal (an Immortal who hasn't been activated by their first death yet and still ages normally) he should still have experienced a buzzing sensation around other Immortals, and they should have sensed him as well. In most of these cases the proto-Immortal is killed off by their mature counterpart without ever knowing why.

    • @storymark
      @storymark  8 місяців тому

      While true, it is also established that the proto Immies usually do not recognize the feeling (and some full Immortals do not, either). And of the 2 Immortals this proto was around, one addressed it directly, and the other indirectly, through dialog. This was all vetted by Davis/ Panzer before filming.

      Fan made, for sure. Technically, it is canon - to a timeline they will not be making any more of. The story was fully approved by Davis/Panzer productions before filming began, and they promoted it as a part of the franchise when we were selling it on physical media (other fan productions were denied this, due to continuity issues).

      The Watchers are vaguely like the Talamasca from Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles - a secret society that monitors immortals from a safe distance and documents their history but otherwise doesn't attract their attention or interact with them. The Highlander television series introduced a renegade branch of the organisation that viewed Immortals as a potential threat to humanity and quietly assassinated them. Later movies had the Watchers offering sanctuary to Immortals who wished to avoid the Game, keeping them in a drug-induced coma on holy ground in a secret location.

    • @tompearce5418
      @tompearce5418 8 місяців тому

      The second Highlander movie aired the theory that they're alien criminals sentenced to play the Game throughout human history as punishment for rebelling against their planet's government, but this theory is despised by the series fan base. The explanation accepted in the first movie is that the Immortals are simply a natural phenomenon and that they developed an oral folklore around their ritual combats over time as mentors trained new members and encouraged them to participate. Many Immortals actually just get on with their lives and defend themselves when attacked by full-time headhunters like the Kurgan. The Watchers and most Immortals generally class headhunters as "evil" due to their violent natures, and a potential threat to humanity if they obtain the Prize.
