Gentlemen, this film will indeed be something to look forward to.Our director told me personally,that he never saw so many living historins who were gathered together for such an event.He will be present at the annual F&I Seminar at Jumonville on Nov.2,2002 to say a few words about it.Also speaking will be Mr.Stephen Brumwell author of "REDCOATS:The British Soldier and War in the Americas 1755-1763."A fun time will be had by all,and I hope to see you there!EM

Hi,
I would be very interested in being a extra in any up coming movies. I am a 18th century reenactor and I have all my own stuff. I can do Scottish highlander, Colonial civilian, Rogers Rangers, 78 Highlander Regt. Mohawk Indian, Long hunter, French civilian if need be. I can send pictures to who ever I need too. I had a friend who was an extra in the Patriot, he said it was a good time.
Thanks,
Robert Asher

Most do not know what obstacles that we've had to overcome to get where we are with this film.After dealing with the bureaucrats in the Pennsylvania Historical & Museum C mmission(who really don't like history anyway)in order to be able to film some items in the Ft.Pitt Museum(which we won btw  )we can now conclude filming and concentrate on promotion.With the 250th anniversary of the French & Indian War coming up in 2004,we hope to start on the documentary concening The Battle of Bushy Run sometime in 2003.For updates on this film check out:www.paladincom.com EM

Hey Lieutenant, I only hope that I can keep my own "Ham Factor" from going into overdrive in the next movie. As RM said "It will be a trivia question in the future, how many times can you spot the two Ed's".
Your Sergeant,

I hope that RM will look into my idea of Gordon's Defeat and the destruction of Ft. Vernango. I think it would some dark humor, particularlly the "Sir, the enemy requests a parley" scene we discussed.

I'm not sure it can be better than When the Forest Ran Red because I am NOT in this new one. Five documentaries so far and I'm getting a swollen head!!

Doc Shaffer's should be fun this year, but it will be bittersweet. I'm sure gonna miss Lt. Poulharie and Madame Amy, I hope they have an easy PCS to Washington.

Did I mention that Director Robert Matzen has received 5 awards for his production of"When the Forest Ran Red:Washington,Braddock and a Doomed Army?"Again,the sequel"George Washington's First War:The Battle For Ft.Duquesne"will be better.Better how Glad you asked.You will see better outdoor footage,Computer-Generated Graphics of the battle plus the creme de la creme of reenactors etc.Plus the fact that yours truly has a speaking part whereas Sgt.Malcolm MacWilliam does not That is why you should see this movie.Check out updates at:www.paladincom.com EM

Did I mention that Robert Matzen wouldn't have engaged in this venture if it was not for the Herculean efforts of Edmund McKinnon. Unfortunately, Ed is very modest about his own role in making this a reality, since he won't ask for accolades, I will for him.

If I recall correctly,you were standing beside me at the premiere when I asked him about doing a sequel.So the credit belongs to us both (or you're equally to blame,one of the two)The filming went well yesterday at Ligonier,when I, portraying Col.Henri Bouquet of the 60th got to throw Major Grant out the 77th out of my office for having the audacity to want my authorization for an attack on Ft.Duquesne.Now he will have the rest of the mannequins against me,and I'll have to really watch my back EM

I think for the third installment, we should see if Steve Patracity and his boys from RR could get a part in the movie. I think Bobby Metz would make an excellent Robert Rogers.

Certainly,did not Col.Bouquet employ rangers/frontiersmen when he left Carlisle to lift the siege at Ft.Pitt.Rich Baker & his Virginians are interested in serving in that capacity as well.EM

Rich and his men are ideal for either role. Those guys did their research, and it shows every time the lads take to the field.
