Dalla Norvegia ed esattamente da Oslo, proviene Alexander Glasø, nuovo Produttore Associato di "Dark Resurrection vol.2", che si unisce all'Esercito dell'Impresa dei Mille Eroi!
Alexander ha voluto contribuire molto generosamente alla realizzazione del secondo volume di questa saga, con questa motivazione:
"Amidst the countless Star Wars fan films out there, few transcend the border between playful fan tributes and actual serious film making. Star Wars: Dark Resurrection vol. 0 and 1 are two such films.
Having been a fan of the Star Wars movies for two decades and also enjoying the vast "expanded universe" of books, comics and so forth, I have seen a number of fan films over the years. Star Wars: Dark Redemption (1999) was likely the first notable entry in to the catalogue of more serious fan films, followed a few years later by Star Wars: Revelations (2005.) Star Wars: IMPS - The Relentless (2005) was a sequel to the classic Star Wars: TROOPS from 1997 featuring a sleeker look than its predecessor, though the style remained that of a humorous mockumentary. Regardless of their various qualities, these films still seemed like fans dressing up and having fun.
Along came Star Wars: Dark Resurrection vol. 1 (2007.) Rather than attempting to place itself in the traditional continuity around the time of the original trilogy, the film is set in a vague point in time some centuries later than the movies. It makes it easier for the casual viewer to accept the premise and not to be too concerned with how it fits in with the established canon of the Star Wars universe. The mystical, exotic look of the film may not seem entirely Star Wars-like at first, but all the components such as ships, lightsabers, and costumes help to draw the viewer in to accepting that this is truly Star Wars. The fact that the language spoken is Italian does not detract from the viewing experience, but rather helps to accentuate the exotic setting.
The film was followed by the prequel, Star Wars: Dark Resurrection vol. 0 in 2011, which explains the origins of the original antagonist, Master Sorran, and expands upon the mythos established in vol. 1. The film goes further in terms of exotic atmosphere and imagery, feeling somewhat like a hybrid of Star Wars and Alien. But still, we know that considering the breadth of the Star Wars universe almost anything is possible. The overall look of the film is impressive, to say the least. The "flashback" of the battle of Eron with three guardians battling Daiker's legion invokes images of the Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi comic books set 4000 years before Lucas' movies, where the Star Wars galaxy appeared both futuristic and medieval at the same time. All this, combined with a beautiful soundtrack that feels fresh while paying tribute to the classic Star Wars score at the same time, makes for a gorgeous and intriguing film.
What is especially apparent is the rise in quality from vol.1 to the prequel vol. 0 in terms of story, pacing, and action sequences, not to mention CGI and use of musical score. I can only imagine what sorts of lessons the creative team has learned by the time vol. 2 comes around to make the final chapter the most spectacular of the trilogy. With my contribution I hope that I have played a part in making Dark Resurrection vol. 2 a reality, because it truly is a story that deserves its conclusion.
May the Force be with you!"
Noi tutti ringraziamo Alexander per il suo grande contributo, augurandogli, come di consuetudine...
