DRis flying without fear!
- 18

 During
the second shoot for DR
2 our heroes are exploring
the immense ruins of Eron
when they are attacked.
They must use all their
skills and powers in order
to survive. Elena
Cucci and Mattia Stancanelli
were the principal
actors of this shoot.
Elena, who plays Nilah,
was subjected to a tough
training regime with Maurizio
Zuppa, who has
prepared her for multiple
fight scenes using open
hand as well as sword
fighting techniques. Mattia
Stancanelli, who
plays Thor, was trained
in twin-sword fighting
techniques by Ran Braun.
 Much
more destructive thanks
to the use of two blades,
Thor, together with Nilah,
heroically holds out for
a long time against the
creatures infesting the
ruins. But without FWF
(Flying Without Fear),
a fundamental element
of the scene would have
been missing: the acrobatic
fighting and stunt falls
which can be seen in the
accompanying photos. Daniele
Balconi
and Fabio
Branca
literally flew (without
wires) allowing for truly
unique shots.
 A
special mention goes to
Mattia
Criscuolo,
who was flung into the
air in various ways without
uttering a single complaint;
all this whilst wearing
a spectacular but extremely
uncomfortable suit which
allowed for limited breathing
and vision. More news
soon!

Shooting DR 2! -
01
- 12
- 2008 |
|
The
first
shoot
of Dark
Resurrection
2 took
place
on 22,
23 and
24 November
at Maurizio
Zuppa’s
Centro
CWK
in Sanremo,
which
was
transformed
into
a green
screen
studio
in September.
Thanks
to the
valuable
support
of all
those
who
made
donations,
thus
becoming
Associate
Producers,
we were
able
to start
the
project
better
resourced
than
DR1:
including
a Panasonic
HVX200e
camera
with
two
16gb
memory
cards,
which
has
enabled
HD shooting;
improved
green
screen
set
(measuring
15 by
10 meters),
and
a group
of fantastic
collaborators
who
have
joined
us from
all
over
Italy.
Director
Angelo
Licata
was
joined
by the
renowned
Director
of Photography
Marcello
Montarsi
(L’Ultimo
Bacio,
Santa
Maradona,
Notte
Prima
Degli
Esami,
EX etc.),
Camera
Operators
Andrea
Pizzi
(Steadycam)
and
Roberto
Pecchinino,
and
Assistant
Directors
Fabrizio
Rizzolo,
Giulio
Cuomo
and
Diego
Marangon.
 Among
the cast
are several
exceptional
performers:
To play
two of the
Jedi Masters
who support
Master Sorran
in his search
for ancient
artefacts
two famous
Directors
arrived
from Rome:
Fausto Brizzi
and Marco
Martani.
The two
have undergone
intensive
training
with Fight
Choreographers
Ran Arthur
Braun and
Maurizio
Zuppa and
the results
have pleasantly
surprised
everyone.
Brizzi looks
like a veteran
warrior,
his movements
so aggressive
they frighten
the stuntmen.
Martani
moves with
elegance
and precision,
an equal
to athletes
who have
grown up
sword in
hand. Other
performers,
the focus
for forthcoming
updates,
are: Giuseppe
Licata,
Mario Mesiano,
Renzo Sinacori,
Elena Cucci,
Maria Tedei,
Mattia Stancanelli,
Andrea Strangio,
Matteo Arnaldi,
Luca Garibaldi,
Daniele
Credidio,
Luca Zenari,
Ilaria Crucil
and Alberto
Zanandrea.
The two
Biodroids,
seen in
the photo,
were made
by Tommaso
Ragnisco
and Francesco
Fabiani.
These amazing
latex suits
were worn
by Raul
Pusterla
and Eugenio
Di Fraia
of Ludosport.
Given the
very limited
visibility
and the
high temperature
inside the
suits, we
can truly
say the
work of
these men
was heroic,
and the
results
miraculous.
Special
mention
also goes
to Roberto
Valli and
Davide Ribolzi;
creators
of the hilts
of the laser
swords.
 
To many
this news
update will
seem like
a list of
names, but
each person
mentioned,
along with
the many
others who
appear in
the credits
below, has
made a unique
and valuable
contribution.
Angelo Giampietro,
the Chairman
of Riviera
Film, and
Grazia Ogulin,
Joint Proprietor
of Centro
CWK, have
put together
a truly
amazing
green screen
studio,
which houses
the professional
production
team, from
Hairdressers
(Flavio
Di Martino
and the
girls from
Flavio Hair
Fashion)
and Make-up
Artists
(Anna Olivo,
Emanuela
Polidori,
Vita Mazzoferro
using Salon
Service
products)
to Costume
Designers
(sisters
Carmen and
Rosa Caci),
Photographers
and Technicians,
and Stuntmen
of the highest
level (FWF
Milan).
This
great
organizational
effort
has not
been without
its difficulties,
and budgetary
overspend
caused
us to
exhaust
the funds
initially
available
and forced
us to
immediately
re-finance
the project
on a much
grander
scale.
But the
first
step has
been taken
and Daniele
Crociani
(Pixmovie)
and LOI
are already
working
on the
very beautiful
rushes
(we have
added
some images
of this
work).
Please
remember
that this
film is
being
made on
a not-for-profit
basis
and remains
a creative
experiment
which
draws
strength
from the
passion
people
have for
this genre
of film,
a genre
which
we hope
will re-emerge
in our
country,
because
now we
know:
We
can
do it!

The

Foundation
for Research
on Muscular
Dystrophy
and Genetic
Diseases
have accepted
our charitable
proposal.
From today
onwards,
Dark Resurrection
Part II
will serve
not only
a cultural,
but also
a charitable
purpose.
Telethon
will receive
all the
funds we’ll
manage to
raise through
donations
and sponsorships,
minus production
costs. In
addition
to this,
donations
to Telethon
can be made
pre-and
post production
at all Dark
Resurrection
events and
screenings,
and via
an online
link which
will be
added shortly.
We
hope this
initiative
from both
the Director
and the
Chairman
of Riviera
Film will
add value
to the
work,
and also
encourage
motivation
and commitment
from our
collaborators.
Therefore,
the Force
WILL be
with us!

Dear
friends,
Thanks
to your contributions
we were able to go
into preproduction
and the first shooting
dates are imminent.
We have spent a long
time in preproduction,
which was necessary
to organise the crew
and the large amount
of work awaiting us,
to raise funds for
equipment, to find
the shooting location
and space to develop
the virtual set, to
select some of the
actors and to develop
the storyboard with
the new concept art.

The
production level for
which we are preparing
is very high, but
to be able to continue
supporting this project,
Riviera Film still
needs help from fans
and sponsors who would
like to join in as
Associate Producers
of the film.
With the help of supporters
from around the world
we have reached 13%
of the estimated budget
so that we can start
with the first creative
work, but we ask you
to keep in touch,
give us advice, collaborate
and contribute to
the realisation of
this project, which
is taking on a more
and more international
character.

May
the Force and
especially the
Fortune of Dark
Resurrection be
with you all!

LOI's
staff is growing,
and a new roman
"detachment"
has been activated
and began to produce
models we will
see in the prologue
of Volume 2. |
The
innovation regarding
what has been
done so far will
include the use
of real models,
both miniatures
and 1:1, enabling
us to convey a
realism impossible
to achieve only
with 3D.
This will be carried
out by Tommaso
Ragnisco (foto),
artistic director
of this Volume.
Tommaso will coordinate
his work with
the director and
scriptwriter Angelo
Licata,
the producer and
visual effects
coordinator Pierfilippo
Siena,
concept artist
Alessio
Nocerino,
and all the matte
painting artists
and 3D modelers,
to define and
design the visual
rendering of scenographic
elements in the
film.
Tommaso was born
in Rome, completed
the Industrial
Design program
in I.S.I.A. also
in Rome, in 1995,
and the same year
joined Cristina

We
begin to
present
the cast
of Volume
2 with Elena
Cucci.
The
Italian
actress,
who has
taken part
in two feature
films (Marcello
Marcello,
among
them), has
lent her
image to
several
TV spots,
and has
appeared
in many
TV series,
most recently
in Don
Matteo.
Beautiful
and mysterious,
Elena will
play Nilah,
a young
apprentice
who will
help, among
others,
master Sorran
during the
exploration
of an enigmatic
wreck in
the film's
prologue. |

Licata, a few words
on DR 2

|

A
few
words
from
director
Angelo
Licata
about
Volume
2.
Greetings
everyone.
I
address
the
supporters,
associate
producers,
fans,
who
are
collaborating,
who
will
collaborate
and
who
wish
to
support
us
but
still
don't
know
how... |
| |
When
towards
the
end
of
the
first
Volume
I
was
asked
what
was
Volume
2
going
to
be
like,
I
did
not
answer.
The
effort
that
Davide
and
I
had
employed
for
this
enterprise,
without
obviously
forgetting
the
arduous
task
performed
by
Gianni
Melito
and
Riccardo
Gallino,
was
so
huge
that
the
accomplishment
of
Volume
2
seemed
like
an
enterprise
beyond
our
capabilities.
When
I
told
the
second
part
to
Davide,
who
rarely
expresses
his
opinions
in
an
elated
manner,
he
surprised
with
his
reply:
It's
really
cool!
But
it's
a
huge
amount
of
work!
he
wisely
continued
afterwards.
I
have
been
reflecting
over
a
long
period
on
the
possibility
of
continuing
this
"game",
because
after
all,
since
it
is
not
for
profit,
that's
what
it
is,
a
game;
but
the
ones
who
convinced
me
to
continue
were
not
the
actors,
nor
my
best
friends
or
those
who
have
helped
us
with
so
much
effort
through
these
years.
The
ones
who
convinced
me
were
actually
the
fans,
all
of
you.
With
the
daily
emails
(I
spend
approximately
5
days
to
answer
and
catch
up
with
them),
the
comments
on
the
forum,
some
people
have
even
created
an
area
where
they
are
already
making
conjectures
on
the
plot,
the
comments
in
English
about
the
film
at
Vuze,
where
the
film
has
been
downloaded
nearly
200,000
times!
In
short,
the
desire
to
continue
this
story
and
to
complete
the
work
has
surpassed
any
sort
of
difficulty,
and
we
already
got
our
hands
on
the
job!
I
can
now
finally
reply
to
many
of
your
questions:
Volume
2
will
be
more
spectacular,
more
"dark",
with
more
action,
and
I
believe
it
will
answer
to
all
questions
that
were
intentionally
intertwined
in
a
cryptic
way
during
the
first
episode.
There
are
multiple
explanations
but
they
will
all
make
sense
at
the
end
and
the
circle,
we
hope
;),
will
be
complete.
Thanks
to
the
supporters,
Associate
Producers,
and
all
those
who
visit
our
site
to
catch
up
with
the
news
every
day.
You
are
more
than
30.000
per
month
and
this
is
indeed
incredible!
May
the
Force
be
with
us,
we
have
a
difficult
mission
ahead!

The
prestigious
course
VfxMaster-Oxart
and
Proxima
will contribute
with Dark
Resurrection
Vol. 2,
the fan
film inspired
in Star
Wars,
whose
non for
profit
projection
has been
approved
by Lucasfilm
Ltd.
Dark Resurrection,
a media
phenomenon
written
by Angelo
Licata
and produced
by Davide
Bigazzi,
is performed
by
Marcella
Braga,
Maurizio
Zuppa,
Sergio
Muniz,
Riccardo
Leto,
Giorgia
Wurth,
Fabrizio
Rizzolo,
Enzo
Aronica
apart
from Claudio
Sorrentino's
vocal
talent,
Italian
voice
of Mel
Gibson
and John
Travolta.
In the
first
volume
of the
story,
the digital
matte-painting,
compositing,
modelling,
animations
and rendering
was carried
out by
the LOI
group,
who entirely
managed
the huge
work necessary
to complete
the 60
minutes
film.
In the
second
part,
starships
and planets,
creatures
and environments,
scenery
and lightsaber
duels
will be
abundant.
The number
of frames
with digital
effects
will be
so high
that student
artists
from Proxima's
VfxMaster,
under
the supervision
of their
teachers,
will work
on some
sequences,
creating
3D models,
digital
backgrounds
and image
compositions,
and will
have the
chance
to reveal
their
creativity
while
generating
original
and spectacular
visual
effects.
Through
VfxMaster
courses,
born almost
four years
ago, near
a hundred
professionals
have been
trained
in generating
digital
images,
who successfully
work in
production
and postproduction
areas
and also
in various
departments
within
Proxima's
own studios.

at the 27th Fantafestival
- 09

- 2007 |
| |
During
the 27th edition of the
Fantafestival,
which took place in Latina
and Sabaudia, there were
presented two low budget
movies, both shot in 2006.
These feature films have
nothing less than any
official italian production
and they represent an
important response to
those who affirm that
"the italian cinema is
dead".
The movies we're talking
about are "Il Bosco di
Fuori" by Gabriele Albanesi
(budget: about 70000 Euro)
and, even more, "Dark
Resurrection" by
the dentist Angelo
Licata with a budget
of just 7000 Euro. You
can read the entire article
by Luca
Lardieri on www.close-up.it. |

The
DR's Final Trailer was
screened during the opening
and Marcella
Braga (DR - Hope) was
there to represent the
staff. She went on the
stage escorted by a delegation
of the 501st
Legion - Italica Garrison
leaded by Lord Vader and
she announced the screening
of the entire movie on
september the 11th. Special
Guest for the opening
was Robert "Freddy Krueger"
Englund. More info available
