Flyboys

[Death]

it's about as difficult to translate as "French fries"

You mean freedom fries, right?



(I thought it was stupid, too, for the record.)

 

[Starkey]

Wow, you mean that Portuguese does not have a word for "redemption"?

(Shawshank is the name of a place, and redemption means... well, redemption. As a title, it's about as difficult to translate as "French fries")

"Redenção" is the word... A literal translation would go like "A Redenção de (or "em") Shawshank".

But enough hijacking... Flyboys, huh?

 

[Edfilho]

Yeah, it is translatable, but "redenção em Shawshank" is a very unatractive title. It wouldn't help ticket and DVD sales ... It does not sound as good as in english. But hey, anyone knows when Flyboys will hit the screens over here?

(PS: flyboys is really hard to translate)

I've heard that it has only made back around a fifth of the cost to make the film

 

[Quarto]

Well, naturally, it's a movie about WWI. However, you don't need to worry about the producers losing money on this one - it's certainly going to earn back its budget (and then some) in DVD/video sales & rentals.

It just sort of makes me worry a bit more about The American Knight

 

[Bandit LOAF]

I don't think you have to worry about The American Knight...

... ever being made.

Yeah, the simple fact that Flyboys exists probably put the last nail in that coffin. But I suppose the project could have been resurrected had Flyboys had a wildly successful theatrical run stateside. But that would have been offset a bit by how amazingly similar the proposed plot sounds to Flyboys. I would have gone to Flyboys in the theater but It hasn't played in my quaint little city yet.

at first I thought Flyboys WAS the Chris Roberts project
