I'm on a Francis Ford Coppola kick, because the Godfather I and II are two of my favorite movies - III is just OK - and I also like Apocalypse Now, though, again, I'm not convinced it's one of the greatest movies of all time.
That said, Apocalypse Now would make a great SF adaptation, so I'm wondering. Let's say I do want to make an adaptation, but I want to see how this works on video, so I can get what's in my head onto the screen. I'm going to go totally cheap and use the green screen and a handycam, and get as many volunteers as possible. So, if I was to recreate a few hours of a bunch of guys on a boat (actually a tub in front of a green screen), how little can I spend? This version is just to see how my ideas work, as opposed to making an actual movie of it. Then, once I get it right, I'll get to my masterpiece, but first things first.
Can anyone introduce me to Coppola? It would mean a great deal to get some ideas from him.
