16/08/2007 - Panorama  

The Italian Star Wars costs only 7.000 Euros. Fan Film. A dentist turning into a director, an architect working on the special effects and Sergio Muniz as a guest star. That’s how "Dark Resurrection" has won the web.

Making Star Wars cost only seven thousand Euros, and the price "included" even Sergio Muniz and the blessing of George Lucas. That's how a dentist and an architect from Bordighera created a new episode of Star Wars.

Italian-style Star Wars. Nothing is missing in the “Lucas like” movie Dark Resurrection. It is a fan film inspired by Star Wars, directed by Angelo Licata and Davide Bigazzi with a small budget and a lot of friends, including Sergio Muniz playing in the role of the Jedi Master.

Among the many homemade imitations pivoting on Star Wars, a brand new chapter is adding, this time shot in Liguria by a dentist and his friends. Will Dark Resurrection be the ordinary handcrafted mess? Not at all.

Distant galaxies…are you kidding? The new base of operations of George Lucas’ saga is set in Bordighera, in the hands of a local dentist who, together with many other fans and with a small budget has probably created the seventh episode. You can watch it (for free) directly online.

The evil forces and the Jedi knights are back, ready to clasp their lightsabers again. This time however George Lucas has nothing to do with it. If you are looking for the authors of the new sci-fi saga movie, all you have to do is dropping by Liguria. And if you want to watch the film, simply log on to the Internet. Dark Resurrection is a feature film which seems be born from the imagination of the legendary American director. His author however is Angelo Licata, a thirty-four-year-old dentist from Bordighera with a great passion for Star Wars.

It's been really a titanic effort for this small handcrafted production that has already shot three quarters of the film. The extraordinary quality of this work done with passion is proved by the trailer available for free on the websitewww.darkresurrection.com

   
04/10/2005 - Supereva  

 

What you can see at first glance is certainly the excellent visual quality. The photography is sharp, the three-dimensional graphics is so much well-made that it gets difficul to distinguish the composite backgrounds from the real ones. Lightsabers and spaceships offer the usual thrill, and even the actors strike for their presence as it had already been announced.

Dark Resurrection, the B trailer is online.

On the official website, the short movie by Angelo Licata and Davide Bigazzi. A three-minute video takes the public to the temple of Eron.

Totally unexpected, a huge article on our project has appeared on Sunday, August 7th on the Italian newspaper "La Stampa". Although with a few inaccuracies, the article is really rich and even too full of details. We are proud to have attracted so much attention and we take this opportunity to thank those who took care of the article. It seems they have sailed on our website and on the related links in a very thorough way.

Dark Resurrection: a stellar short movie

A decisive choice is to focus as much as possible on a professional result, so no more rough recitation like in many amateur short movies and let's give space to theater actors with a charismatic presence. Special care, and could not be otherwise, to the special effects, which from the images already available on the website seem to be outstanding.

 
12/04/2006 Webtrekitalia  
   

 

It has really nothing to envy to films made by the official show factory. Dark Resurrection is a project that deserves to be followed in its path and above all is it is a short movie not to be missed for the science fiction lovers.

Interview with a special Filmmaker.

"I could not really say what my style is. It has changed lot, just look at the first scenes of Dark Resurrection and to the last one that we have shot to feel a big change. I can tell you in my growth has been the source of my personal admiration, however the the list very is long and varied: Leone, Raimi, Spielberg, Tarantino, Who.... "

Special: Dark Resurrection

Star Wars Made in Italy...

I really think that many people will be pleasantly surprised by this small tribute to Star Wars, and will certainly wonder why in Italy there is only a few brave pioneers willing to bring innovation in filmmaking, an innovation that is able to bring the Italian amateur productions closer to the great Hollywood cinema, something that the Italian film industry has never done before.
